Part 38
Mumbai
Dec 28th
10 AM Onwards...
Khanak had a faint smile plastered on her face.
Prad:Why do you smile?
K: mmm..mmm
P:No really? (thick British accent)
K: I love that accent (muttering)
P:Thanks! (joyous)
Prad has brought a Lexus today, one that’s usually
driven for Bhayya.
K wonders if Bhayya is home still… the two
Gujrals working together usually headed out to work for half a day…
K:Is the baby… home?
P:Oh! Yes!.. and there is another surprise
waiting for you.
K’s heart does a somersault…
K:Let me guess, did you bring your girlfriend?
P:I am walking with her (winking)
K: Funny!
K wonders…
P:You still don’t talk much do you
She smiles…
P is eager and earnest… she can see it in his
eyes, unlike the man she married…
She wants to know where he is…
Dials Dadi’s number
D: You are home?
K:Umm… Pradyun aa hai lene (surprised)
D: Really? (laughing)
K:Dadi (protesting softly)
D:He jumped up and offered, I let the drivers
rest..
K:Thanks
K paused, hoping Dadi would supply unsolicited
news about hubby, but she doesn’t..
D:Did you tell your parents they need to visit?
K:Hmmm
D:Kya kaha?
K:May be in 2012 Dadi..
D:You need to make it happen hun!
K: Jee!
Bai had told her she would only visit if Khanak
were to get pregnant… that ended the conversation right there…. The possibility
of that was remote………
D: What will you eat beta
K:Anything…
D:How do you make that? (serious)
K:Tchh… u are funny
D:And you serene…..
K is quiet
D: Cant wait to see you
K:Thx
Pradyun:Hey you want to go for a drive?
K looks at him startled…
K:Better not… Dadi is waiting…
P:Its your Dadi.. (teasing)
K:How is Rayna?
P:Don’t know…
K shakes her head…
Prad cannot shut up, he talks and talks and talks…
K:Your hair grew back…
P:I told you.. you did not trust me Kanak
K:Its Khanak..
P:Ur husband said I looked beastly (offended)
with a shaved head..
K turns crimson… “oh!”
P: he was being a nark (bad mood for British)
K wonders why… derisively.
He honks generously, unlike her husband…. The guard
smiles at her, Prad offers to haul her bags… chivalrously…
She declines, rolling them herself………..
He opens the door grandly, announcing her arrival
Nandini Mausi and Rayna jump up and come running,
Khanak is overjoyed… Madhavi rolls her eyes at the theatrics…
Dadi:Mere liye kya laayi?
Sunil: Mera kurta laayi?
Raayna: Bhabhi, you look cracking (stunning)
Hugs her tight… Amogh squeals almost jumping out
of Maria’s arms
Pradyun: Hello! I brought her! Bow to me!
Khanaks’ eyes search in vain………..
Ghoosshh..! LOVED the update Aditee!
ReplyDeleteOkay! So Prad's still SO smitten by her! Hmmm..!
GF! :O Only If Shaan was around! Lol!
I love it how cutely he flirts with Khanak! Lol! Too adorable!
Nark mood! Ofcourse! Its been a WEEK! :(
Wowww! Nandini Mausi n Raayna is home also! :D It was so awesome to have them around during the wedding time along with Ambika chachi,Ujju,Akash,Akhil. :D
Sighhhh! The pink line!
The guy has no clue! :( Ab waapas aake He'll come to a conclusion that She's here early cz of Prad! But yeah, I'm LOVING it! :D
Feels like the festive season is back again! Its going to be so much fun on new year! :D
Aditee, ek aur thodi der baad..PLEASEE???
Forgot to mention the enthusiastic family! :D How sweet are they! The whole house missed her! Amogh! Awieee!
DeleteSunil asking if she've brought Kurta for him! <3 No one would have imagined such chirpiness like in a middle-class family at Malabar hill if it was not for this girl! They've been the most kind and loving! I LOVE THEM! <3
^^Oh gosh. I didn't even dissect that!
DeleteHe'll probably think she came for Prad and I bet she'll probably will say the same to add fuel to the fire. lol!
I LOVE Sunil. He is a wonderful dad also, he sets his son straight. He is wealthy, but there is this undeniable earthy quality about him.
Thanks Aditee :D
ReplyDeleteIt’s going to be a lavish new years for the Gujrals.
Someone correct me, is Raayna the one who chatters non-stop?! I vaguely remember her from the wedding.
Although...agree with her, Khanak must be looking stunning the way you described her in the previous.
Pradyun...What a cutie minus the British accent! I love the American ;P
Seriously I’m a british and I didn’t know what was ‘Nark’. What a disgrace! Casa is seriously providing my brain alot of general knowledge. Lol!
Seriously, he needs to find a girlfriend warna he is definitely be a spinster for rest of his life. He just frankly flirts with Khanak, no surprise why he infuriates Shantanu lol!
Aab chand kab nikle ga?! She is involuntarily seeking him...but he isn’t there!
Next update soon please :)
And I LOVE British accent! I've always felt the way they speak is absolutely to die for! I urge my British friends to speak more and I try to grasp some words or cutely sit and stare at them! :P Australian is a close! They sound unbelievably cute! :D
DeleteYes! Raayna and Ujju! Both are chatterbox! I remember they never used to leave Khanak's side..amusing Shaan! As two girls who speak non-stop accompanying a girl who talk ONLY when required! :P Lol!
Chaand! Ayeee! I loved the reference! ;) Cant wait either! :D
Ha! I actually never had fetish for accents, I think after Casa it made me dissect American, and whenever someone speaks it reminds me of Shantanu <3 lol!
DeleteOh it's both. I remember how Shantanu once said 'You should learn from her' and 'you could teach her to be quiet' <3 <3
Next is blue lines turn...lol! Dekho kya hota hai :D
Oh! THAT! Well, I love everything and anything related to casa! So that too! :P Lol!
DeleteYes..yes! :D Wedding days! :D
That would be for 'Chandini' ;) I cant wait!I hope Ady would post one more! :D
^^
DeleteIt probably be late, my midnight! lol!
Sigh. Don't remind me of the wedding days! I <3 those moments in-between! I want to go off and read that phase again.
