The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 10

For the next few days, Bulbul left no stones unturned and made it completely her personal mission to irritate her mother and to make her life hell in which she was actually quite successful. She deliberately fought at her school with others, played pranks on them for which she was on the verge of getting suspension but Bela somehow managed that. After that, she dumped the garbage of her house in front of neighbours home, with whom, Sareens never had good relation and deliberately got herself caught so that this comes to the notice of Bela. Apart from all these things, it was one of Bulbul's job to verbally telecast everything to her father and whenever he used to ask her not to do all those things, she just used to make him quiet the way Bela used to do to him. Even after so much, Bela didn't lose her cool and so she decided to that she should do something bigger. One day, the Queens had a very important meeting with some foreign delegates and while the father and the daughter were discussing Bulbul heard that there will be pizza lunch for those delegates. She said to herself, "Mujhe mere daddy se milne nehi de rahe hai aur yaha bethke ye log pizza khaayenge? Mere rehte to kabhi bhi aisa ho hi nehi sakta hai. Pizza khilaane ka bara shaukh hai na Dracula ko, aisa pizza khilaaungi na ke pura ek din bathroom mein bitaayenge ye to. Jab dekho tab mere daddy ki buraai karte hai, unko ulta seedha bolte hai." Bulbul then immediately called the pizza store and ordered for distributing the pizza ordered by the Queens into some nearby orphanage and placed fresh order for pizza with chilly sauce which is to be distributed to the Queens office. After placing the order, Bulbul suddenly remembered that Bela could not consume spicy food and though she was very angry at her mother, but still she didn't want Bela to suffer and so she had some brownies made for her and had them sent to the office. As Bulbul expected, everything happened as she wished and after returning from school, Bulbul called Bela.

Bulbul : "Mamma main bol rahi hu."

Bela : "Bulbul abhi main bilkul bhi baat nehi kar sakti hu, mera mood bohot kharaab hai."

Bulbul : "Pata hai mujhe mamma tabhi to maine aapko brownies bhijwaaye the kyuki mujhe pata hai ke aap teekha nehi kha sakti hai and I didn't want you to suffer."

Bela remained stunned on hearing Bulbul's confession of creating all the fiasco in front of the foreign delegates.

Bela : "Wait a sec!! You did all these???"

Bulbul : "Aur kaun hai itna talented yaha par?"

Bela was so angry at Bulbul that she threw the glass of water on her table and got up from her chair.

Bela : "Do you even realize Bubul what have you done? Tumhe pata hai nanu ko kitni pareshaani ho rahi hai tumhaari vajah se."

Bulbul : "Maine aapke company ke naam par social work bhi to kiya hai aur rahi baat naanu ki to achcha hai din bhar jo vo mere daddy ko bhar bhar kar insult karte hai na ab unka dimaag aur pet dono saaf ho jaayenge."

Bela : "Stay at home!! I'm coming right now!"

Bulbul, though was very confident but in her heart was very scared as she knew Bela's anger. The only problem with Bulbul was that whenever she decided that she wanted something, she did everything possible without thinking about the consequences. Bulbul, on one side fears her mother to some extent and on the other side acts spontaneously. So when Bela returned home after sometime to confront her, she found that Bulbul was standing behind Madhu though she showed no sign of remorse or shame for what she had done. Bela, fuming with anger, pointed her finger at Bulbul and said, "Come here!!" Bulbul slowly hid behind Madhu and peeped from there. Bela said, "Maine tumse kya kaha tumhe sunaayi nehi diya? Idhar aao!!" Bulbul held Madhu's hand tightly and seeing that Bela said, "Mujhe na achchi tarah se sab samajhme aa raha hai Bulbul, I know ye sab tum mujhe bas irritate karne ke liye kar rahi ho taaki mere paas tumhe India bhejne ke alava aur koi option hi na rahe. Har cheez ki ek hadh hoti hai Bulbul, aajtak main tumhaari har badmaashi na bardaasht karti aa rahi hu lekin aaj tumne jo kuch bhi kiya hai na usse pata hai dusre logo ko kitni taklif hui hai? Main jaanti hu ke tum India sirf Maahir ke liye jaana chahti ho. Aakhir tumko yaha problem kya hai? Kis baat ki kami hai tumhe yaha par? Sab kuch to hai yaha phir kyu jaana hai India?" Madhu said to Bulbul, "Vaise puttar ye baat na teri ma bilkul thik keh rahi hai, tujhe aisa nehi karna chahiye tha beta. Kisiko taklif dena to buri baat hoti hai." Bulbul replied, "Main jaanti hu naani ke kisiko bhi taklif dena bohot buri baat hai par mamma to meri baat sunti hi nehi hai, mujhe India jaana hi jaana hai. Aapke paas yaha sab kuch hai mamma par mere paas mere daddy nehi hai. Aap mamma aur papa dono ke saath rehti ho na to aap meri problem kaise samajh sakti ho?" Bela was so mad at Bulbul that day that she grabbed her arms and said, "Tum janna chahti ho na ke main kyu nehi chahti hu ke tum apne papa se milo kyuki tumhaare papa dhokebaaz hai, he cheated on me. Isiliye main usko chor kar yaha chali aayi because I hate that man." Bulbul looked at her for a few seconds and then asked, "To phir aap daddy ki photo apni pillow ke neeche kyu rakhti ho?" At this one question, Bela could not answer Bulbul back and she slowly left her arms but she had already decided that Bulbul needed to be punished and so she said, "This time I'm not going to leave you Bulbul!! This time you deserve punishment. Aaj se ghar se seedha school jaaogi aur school se seedha ghar waapas aaogi aur vo bhi naani ke saath. Aaj se tum apne room mein bandh rahogi aur sirf khaate time aur school jaate time hi tum apne room se bahaar niklogi aur tumhaare room ki chaabi mere paas rahegi." She knew that Madhu would definitely protest and so she looked at Madhu and continued, "Aur mujhe is baat par koi behes nehi chahiye." Saying she again left for her office.
