Part 48


December 29th 2011
Sunday
Mangal Kunj

10:14 AM
There is a knock on the door, Khanak stirs in sleep, Ray is sleeping by her, they both had returned from the spa around midnite, her husband was nowhere to be seen when she had gone to the room to change, she had taken a a couple naps here and there during the day, she was ready to be knocked out…
Ray suggested they should watch a movie in the home theatre in the rec room, she convinced her to do that in Ray’s room, “you too bhabhee” she pleaded… the house was quiet and Ray was shrill and chirpy, to hush her up she had agreed, but lasted 20 minutes….
Ray… maybe a half hour…. The movie played and the TV auto shut off an hour after…
The knock….
Khanak: I am not getting up, aap uthiye!
She opened her eyes to peek, the room was smaller the window was behind the bed… no balcony… she sat up startled…
Hurried to open it… her wrist was wrapped in a white crepe bandage now… the tan bandage lay some where under their bed…
She opened the door groggily, it was HL
The smile flashed “Bhabhiji,…”
Khanak:Bus aadha ghanta? (pleads)
HL smiles knowingly… scratches his head… “Who Mummiji ne”
Khanak is wide awake… “Koi kaam hai”
HL:Nandu Maasi aur Mummiji Duggalji ke yahan Vivaan ji ke haldi ke liye ja rahi hai, poocha aap chalengi”
Khanak realizes there is a wedding tonite… “Nahi… main so jaaoon”
HL grins, “Who”
K: Hmmm?
HL: Dadi ne kaha aapko Pradeep ko bhejna hai airport? Rituji ke liye?> (he is all smiles, since he adores Khanak’s best friend)
K: Main to late ho jaaoongi… (worried)
HL:Jee, main Pradeep ko keh doonga
Khanak is wide awake… wonders where the husband is…
Follows HL, shutting the door behind her
The wet towels on the neatly made bed, tell her he had been in the room  moments ago, she picks it up… hangs them to dry in the service verandah…
Rushes through her routine, brush shower…. Hair… wears a lime green flowing chiffon skirt with a mauve pattern… with a mauve cap sleeve blouse with lace on the top half………
Dadi greets her when she heads to the table after her quick pooja….at 11ish…
D:How is the hand..
K:Abhi dard hai…(sad)
D: How come nobody else got hurt?
K:Because I don’t know how to walk (bites her lower lip)
D: I assigned you a helper…
K: He completely takes over (oblique)
D:Some times you should allow that
K:Hmmm (not convinced)
D:Itni khuddaari kis kaam ki puttar?
K looks at Dadi solemnly…
Dadi serves her various things, toasted bagel, bite size muffins…
K:Ghar par sab kahan hai?
D:SABKA to mujhe pata nahi… Haan madhavi, Nandu, Khushboo, Amogh haldi mein, Sunil aur Akshay, kisi Taiwanese se milne…
K:Aur Pradyun?
D:SO raha hai..aalsi
Khanak giggles conspiratorily… “Dadi usko khoob padhna padta hai college mein, bechaara”
D:Tu jisdi woti hai, osde waste bhi thodi reham rakh.
K looks at Dadi confused…
D:Save some sympathy for that husband…he spent the nite at work… I think..
Khanak is furious, just shovels her fruit into her mouth…
D:Ladna band karo… kaam par dhyaan kam… mujhe ek nanhi si poti…(frustrated)
Ritu:WHERE is the band Dadi?
D:Lo jee aa gayi nautanki (laughing)
Ritu runs… crashes into Khanak… they hug and moan… and groan…
K:SO GOOD to see you… Ritz
R:Not quite Mystery!
K:Wwwhy?
R:Haath ko kya hua hai?
K:Where is Kritik?
R:Teri jaan aur meri jaan saath saath hain…
K is confused
Shantanu walks in with Kritik
R:Tera naya driver bahut hot hai!
Dadi: Naya driver nahi kaafi saalon se hai
Shaan smirks
K:Oh! Really? (looking straight at her husband) hot as in sexy? Or sweaty?
S: What ever floats your boat… (murmurs)
Ritu and Kritik are chatting with Dadi…. While the “driver” and the “damsel” check each other out…

  5. Finalllyyy! Thank you :)
    A day without Casa feels incomplete.

    Rituuuuuuuu! Yayyyyy! Lets see ...what she dhaamal she brings up this time :P
    I’m sure you have something unpredictable this time as well....wedding, fun and Prad :D

    And Dadi’s Punjabi makes me feel homely... reminds me of how my family interacts a few of Punjabi lines there and here when either a point needs to be noted.

    The ending was crackling...You sense the sizzling tension between the both.
    It a turn on for the reader, JUST to imagine them checking each other out.
    And
    That is your most precious asset, keeping to reader to urge to read more.

    Eagerly waiting for the next,Update soon please:)
