Chapter 26 : 15 Nov
The walls of Rang Mahal were decorated with strands of hanging lights that would be illuminated after dark, when the neighbourhood would be overtaken by deafening sounds of bursting crackers, as part of the celebrations of the festival of lights. But that was still an hour away.
It was half past five in the evening, and a stream of people was entering Rang Mahal. Summoned by Yakub, they were inspected by the guard dog and let in. They all wished Abbu, who was at his usual place in the shop, and proceeded to the dorm room on the first floor.
**********************
The men -- Thambi, Tarun, Jawahar, Ravi, Salim, Kirpal, Abhay, Rupert -- stood next to the far wall. The women -- Smita, Anjum, Hena, Maggie, Binny, Maya, Chitra, Angela, Mariam, Parvez, Fanaa -- sat on the three beds, which otherwise belonged to Salim, Kirpal and Abhay.
At exactly 6 pm, Yakub entered. He was dressed like a bridegroom in a sherwani, chudidaar and Punjabi juttis, sans the headgear. As the hub-hub died, he walked to the centre of the room and addressed his lieutenants and courtiers.
Y : Today is Yom Kippur, Thanksgiving, Diwali and Id-ul-fitr rolled in one. I have reached the aim which I had started with seven months ago. And you would be pleased with the decisions I give today. Ravi, read them out.
R : (opening a scroll parchment and reading) The Jahanpanah acknowledges the help of Ravi, Kirpal, Salim, Thambi and Abhay for their involvement and support, ideas and expertise. You have earned his gratitude and patronage. The Jahanpanah also acknowledge the services of Smita, Hena, Maggie and Mariam, who have given their body and soul to him. You are his nine jewels -- his Navratnas. (pause for clapping) Jawahar and Maggie, you will henceforth be managing your house as an old age home. Get the paperwork completed at the earliest. Your first occupants will be Rupert's parents. (pause) Thambi, your house will henceforth be the training place for new acolytes, under the supervision of Hena. (pause) Rupert, your house will be the guest house for any relatives of the residents of Rang Mahal. The ground floor will be used as guest rooms for the bank with which we had an agreement for the two rooms here at Rang Mahal. (pause) Anjum will join Tarun in his house, and will be available on call. (pause) This room on the first floor here at Rang Mahal will be known as the Diwan-e-Aam -- the Common Room -- and will be open to public. Kirpal and Abhay will occupy and manage this room. We will have all our meetings and celebrations here. The first flat on this floor will be occupied by Ravi and Smita in one room, with Salim and Fanaa in the second room. The second flat will be housing the Jahanpanah, with Parvez Bhabhi and Abbu. The second floor will be the Diwan-e-Khas -- the Special Room -- and will be open only to Parvez and Smita. All others will be escorted by invitation only. (stops speaking and rolls up the parchment)
Y : Thank you, Ravi. Now, since we are starting a new chapter, I will be conditioning you individually based on my future plans for each one of you.
So saying, Yakub beckoned them one by one and conditioned them afresh, starting with the men. He opened their minds only so much that they would act normally outside the gates of Rang Mahal, whereas they would be as good as automatons while within his domain. Ravi was conditioned to be the perfect apartment manager, employee and cuckold. Salim was conditioned to be the lobbyist cum agent with the local authorities, to keep them at bay. Kirpal and Abhay were conditioned to look for attractive working married women in nuclear families within their work spaces. Rupert and Tarun were conditioned to be invisible fund providers, and cucks as well. Jawahar was conditioned to be the company for the aged people who would be staying in his house. Thambi was conditioned to scout for rustic beauties willing to be wet nurses. Margaret was conditioned to have a dual personality -- of a slave in Yakub's presence, and of a snob in her house or when escorted by Jawahar. Fanaa was conditioned to shift into Rang Mahal with Salim and counter her mother's objections to this action. Binny was conditioned to be the hostess cum manager for the guest house -- cum- homestay. Maya was conditioned to be a suitable domestic help for Binny. Hena was conditioned to be the mistress of Thambi Sex School, and keep a lookout for any prospective candidate who could join the harem. Anjum was conditioned to be a model daughter-in-law to Tarun's parents. Mariam and Angela were also conditioned to have a dual personality, one for the outside and one for Rang Mahal. The sisters would be unable to recall anything of the Rang Mahal, once they went out of the gate.
Once he had finished, he turned to Ravi.
Y : Ravi, why don't you take the men and get the drinks, snacks and dinner. Kirpal and Abhay, you can assist Maggie and Binny in shifting the furniture to setup a dance floor and dinner layout. For the rest of you, come closer. Smita will give specific instructions for the girls. Simmi?
S : (speaking softly) OK, listen carefully girls. You - we - are the chosen ones allowed entry to the Diwan-e-Khas. As you would know from your school history lessons, only special people are allowed here and only special activities will be done here. You will continue to do what you are doing outside Rang Mahal, but within these walls your sole aim is to provide sexual pleasure to Jahanpanah, as and when called for. You all will receive his love regularly, but he will rotate his favourites. In return, Jahanpanah will provide you with all your needs. Parvez here is the chief consort, the begum, and will be the queen bee. You all will do as she says, as she will be representing the Jahanpanah in all her orders. If there is anything you need, you will tell me. Any doubts? (pause) None? OK. The only dress allowed in the Diwan-e-Khas is the sports bra and cycling shorts, and that too only inside the gym. Once out of the gym, the only thing you can wear is your hair on your heads and your eyebrows. Remember, being naked is the normal here. Jahanpanah's arrival into the Diwan-e-Khas will be announced by me. When he comes out of the lift, you will all stop whatever you are doing, face the lift, get on your knees and place your forehead on the floor. Like this. (pauses to show) You will remain so till you are told to rise, in which case you will resume whatever you were doing. If he calls anyone by name, that person will walk up to him on his knees, kiss his penis and wait for further instructions. Like this. (pauses to show) Any doubts? (Silence). Good. Now, the gym is to keep you fit and in shape. The spa- cum-bath is to keep you clean and perfumed. The lounge is where you will undergo beautification. Mariam is responsible for the gym, Angela for the spa. Fanaa, Parvez Bhabhi will train you to be a beautician. As and when we get new additions, they will join Hena for basic training before they join us. Anjum, Tarun will be told when Jahanpanah will visit you. When he is there, you will be his wife, while Tarun handles the area outside the bedroom. Chitra, you will focus on your medical studies to become a plastic surgeon. You will assist Hena in training the youngsters, whenever you are home. (stops speaking and looks up to Yakub)
Y : OK, fine. Thanks, Simmi. Now you all can join the rest. (pause, before addressing the entire room in a raised voice) Today we will celebrate the completion of our efforts. Have a binge. Enjoy!
Everyone cheered as the first song started playing, and no one noticed Parvez and Fanaa slipping out of the room.
***************************
The revelry commenced with energetic dances on popular songs played loud, accompanied with drinks and a stream of readymade snacks. Yakub joined for some time, but moved to the fringes of the impromptu dance floor as the drinks hit the brains of those drinking, and made them more energetic. Being a non-drinker and non-smoker, he abstained but watched the others closely.
When Smita, assisted by Maya, laid out the five course meal a little before 8 pm, Yakub left the Common Room to join his Abbu for dinner. By half past eight, Abbu had gone to sleep after going through his daily ritual of night prayer.
