Monday evening.
Vicky and Sandhya had returned to Bangalore and slipped back into their old routine. After finishing dinner and sharing a gentle, romantic intercourse, both lay on the bed hugging each other.
Sandhya broke the silence. "You remember my revenge, right?"
Vicky hesitated slightly and said, "I do."
"When exactly are we vacating Bangalore?"
"We still have three months. I'll confirm the date and let you know. You also inform your office," Vicky said.
"Okay," Sandhya said, and then asked, "When my friend Sangeetha went to the US, she asked me to keep her secondary SIM active for a while. We had also done a long validity recharge on it. She says she doesn't need that SIM anymore and told me to discard it. Will that SIM still be active?"
"I don't know. You had put it in your old phone, right? Check and see."
Sandhya searched for that old phone, connected it to the charger, and turned it on. The SIM showed a signal tower. But no outgoing services were active. She asked Vicky to recharge it. Vicky recharged it without asking any questions.
"This is the first step in taking revenge on you," Sandhya said.
Thinking to himself, 'You crazy girl', Vicky asked with a slight tremble, "Why? Are you going to open a profile on Tinder or some other dating app?"
"Chi... chi... just watch what I do. I won't do anything without your knowledge," she said firmly.
Vicky sighed, "Alright."
"Edit the name on my PAN card copy and change the last two digits of the PAN number," Sandhya said.
Vicky panicked. "Aiyo, this is forgery. I won't do all this."
"I'll make sure no problems arise. Just do it for me."
"At least tell me what you're going to use it for..."
"To give at a gym. No one there should know my actual name, that's all."
Vicky had no choice. "Alright, I'll do it tomorrow. Make sure no problems come up. Okay, what name do you want?" he asked.
"Thank you, Vicky. Edit it to 'Bhanumathi'."
"Sounds a bit like an old name, doesn't it?" Vicky teased.
"It doesn't matter," she said, hugged him tightly, and got ready to sleep.
The next day, she became intensely involved in the task of finding a gym suitable for her. Since she had decided not to use her real name, she couldn't join large corporate gyms. She looked for a gym that wasn't too local, was of good quality, but at the same time wasn't too strict about ID proof.
She chose a gym two metro stations away from her area. Its reviews were good. She called, inquired, and said she would come on Thursday morning. The gym operated from 5:30 AM to 9:00 AM, and from 4:30 PM to 9:00 PM. She said she would come at 6 AM every day.
Meanwhile, she received a call from her friend Neha. During the conversation, Sandhya mentioned she was going to join a gym. To this, Neha said she had an annual membership for a swimming pool but couldn't go due to lack of time. She regretted having paid a large sum unnecessarily.
Sandhya knew that a membership couldn't just be transferred to someone else. Still, she asked her friend if they could try.
"The pool manager is well-known to me. I'll talk to him and get it swapped for you," Neha said. They both decided to meet at that swimming pool on Thursday evening.
In the meantime, Sandhya factory-reset her old phone. Using her friend's old SIM, she created a new WhatsApp account and Gmail IDs under the name 'Bhanumathi'.
Thursday dawned. Sandhya set an alarm for 5:15 AM and woke up. She got ready, woke Vicky to tell him, took her Activa, parked it at her metro station, took the metro for two stops, and went to the gym for her first day.
The gym trainer seemed to be around 30 years old. He mostly spoke Kannada. But he was very dedicated to his duty. After looking around the gym, Sandhya really liked it. Good modern equipment, a decent area... nothing to worry about.
Saying her name was 'Bhanumathi', she gave the edited PAN card copy as her ID, paid the deposit and monthly fee in cash, and joined.
"Usually, ladies mostly come in the evening. If you want, why don't you come in the evening?" the trainer said.
"No, I will come at 6 AM itself," Sandhya said firmly.
Just as she had read in the reviews, the trainer taught very professionally. He didn't hit on her just because she was a woman.
He taught her the warm-ups to be done every day, and since it was her first day, he started her with very light weight training. "Usually, you have to do 4 sets of each weight training exercise. But since it's your first day, just do 2 sets. From tomorrow, we can start with 4 sets per muscle," he said.
Sandhya listened to his instructions carefully and followed them. Even 2.5 kg dumbbells felt very heavy to her. But seeing the trainer handle 12.5 kg and 25 kg dumbbells so effortlessly, she was amazed.
"Your body will ache terribly for the first week. Don't stop coming just because it hurts. It will get better as you go on," the trainer said, sending her off after completing the first day's workout.
She returned home that day and rested well. But as time passed, her arms started aching severely.
That afternoon, a call came from Neha. Deciding to meet at the swimming pool at 5:30 PM, she left home at 5 PM. The pool was on the same metro line she used for the gym, just one stop further. She took the metro, went there, and met Neha.
Neha introduced Sandhya to the pool manager and handed her access card to Sandhya.
She looked around the pool. It was very neatly maintained. There were separate sections for men and women. But both genders could meet in the common resting areas.
The person in charge stated some rules: "You must wear a swimming suit to enter the pool. You must take a shower every single time before getting into the water."
That very day, she went with Neha, bought a decent swimming suit that wasn't too revealing, and returned home. When Sandhya offered to pay Neha for the pool membership, Neha refused, saying, "You are only going to be here for 3 months, so no need."
Thus, a new routine was set for Sandhya.
She would leave home at 5:30 AM to go to the gym. She would be back by 7:30 AM. She would leave at 5 PM to go to the swimming pool. She would return home by 7 PM. Sundays alone were holidays for both the gym and the pool.
She introduced herself as 'Bhanu' to everyone at the gym and the swimming pool.
Every day when she woke up at 5:15 AM, her body would ache terribly. Especially if she had done weight training for her legs (Leg day) the previous day, all her muscles would beg for mercy. On top of that, the gym trainer wouldn't let her leave without finishing what he instructed. "Wait a bit, take some rest, and then finish it before you go," he would say. If it were a normal girl, she would have said 'Enough, I can't do this' and gone back to sleep.
But her willpower was monstrous. That inner drive to take revenge and teach Vicky a lesson made her go to the gym and the swimming pool every single day without fail.
Thus, Sandhya had fully transformed into the avatar of 'Bhanumathi'. From now on, her entire effort was going to be focused on finding her Duryodhana and Karna.
