7:49 AM
S: Khanak… take the morning off?
She yawned on his chest…”Its been less than two? Months since
Ram promoted me, kaise le paaoongi itna time off”
He sighed in response…
S: I have an 8:30
She clung tighter
He smiled…. “Exactly the response I am looking for when I
wake you 5 in the morning”
K:Well, you wont get this response at 5!
He picked her up, placed her on the chest of drawer,
sweeping the stuff aside as some things rained on the floor, bent down, picked
his towel up, tied it back securely….
She smiled from her perch…. “Are Dad and Bhayya back?”
S:Hmm… they were upset I didn’t go with you
K:What did you say?
S:You asked me not to…
She smacked him…. He laughed….
S:I have to go…
K:Jee…
S:I can give you a ride… lets give Pradeep a break….
K slowly slid down from her perch…. Walked towards her closet….
S:Do you want me to take care of what you owe at the Trust?
(blunt)
She turned around and froze…shook her head…. “Nnn… Umm.. No”
“Nahi” “Thanks…”
He stared, thoughtful… “Mr Sather said you had requested a
fast track payment plan?” His eyes had unconcealed shock when he spoke “HOW can
you pay off faster?” look
K:Hmmm (uncomfortable, she she was asked to take her clothes
off in public or something)
S: How frequently do you sit down and do finances?
K:Weekly shaayad (none of your business)
S: And you came up with a plan to pay off sooner? (smirk)
K: Math is one of my strengths (calm)
S:Saying No is obviously not a strength
K: That is mean…
S: Sorry… except when you deny the husband (passionate)
He walked up to her, she walked back.
K:I never say no…… even… twice…(turning crimson) a nite
(trembling) (crushing her to the wall, nipping her neck,easily fighting her
warring hands, soaking her torso, every pore pulsing with raw hunger as she
slowly began to enjoy the touch and taste of him……as her dupatta fell to the
floor)
S:You acquiesce only after a fight..
K:I… (I love my sleep, I can survive without s--- for weeks,
whats your problem)
S:No prizes for guessing…you know I don’t care for fasting……
(mocking)
He had her pinned against the wall
K:“Your refusal powers are quite strong also”(You just
rejected me a min ago)
S:I am meeting Rahat for breakfast at Juhu at 8:30(dismissive)
you need a financial planner
K: I can do my Finances Shantanu… (husky on the name)
S:How many banks do you owe?(arms wrapped around her waist
like steel rods)
K: Is this a pop quiz?
S: If you like…
K: A dozen?(flippant)
He looked at her stunned…..
K: I… I… I cant… take your money…. I cant… I
S:Can you spend inordinate amounts of time battling
creditors
K:I only defaulted once….(ashamed)
S: You fantasize for more? (sharp)
K was silent, she appeared hurt and tired….
A knock on the door ended the combat
He walked into his closet without bothering to open the
door, she walked into hers as well… the knock continued… she turned around and
went to get it…. Saw his wet towels on the bed on the way….
D: Kab aayi beta?
They hug…
D:Shaan kahan hai?
K:Changing……
D:I better go, you should come down for breakfast…
K:10 Min?
D: How was the trip? Purse kho gaya?
K:Jee (sad)
D:Mera bacha (Dadi hugs her tight)
Her husband walks up to the door, fully dressed…. Sharp as a
tack, hair combed back, with shoes on ALL in less than two mins
D:Nashta kar le
S: I have a meeting with Rahat (in Punjabi)
D: Has he asked you to starve? (in Punjabi)
S talked about some delay that needed to be dealt with, at
Ulwe…
D: Sorry beta, we shud switch to Hindi
K:Its OK.. I have to learn sometime… (looked at her husband
extending an olive branch)
D: Dekho kitni mehnat karti hai
S: Kuch zyaada hi! (cryptic)
Truly! She stresses herself a lot :)
ReplyDeleteHe knows her very well..:)
Fabulous update aditee :D
He finally asked about how many banks she owns the money! im not sure about this..its right to be dependent on her husband right?! but still why can't she give up?! I know she's very self righteous, and loves to care for her family..
Even he's a part of her life! then why can't she just rely herself on him?!
May be i'll get my answers sooner..or may be the questions i've asked are mundane! no probs..whenever i start to write comments by brain just makes my type these..sorry if you find it childish! im a child so i guess..mujhe maafi mil sakthi hain :P
Waiting for Casa di Buena Suerte to start, so that they can work together, will be fun to see them once again on a same project :))))
This time there's lots of difference..
Love dadi too, she's too kind:)
Waiting for next..update soon :))))))
AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteloved the romance between sweet sweet talks
ohh la la i was dead when he picked her up and placed her on table and wrapped the towel around his waist i dont know why but i found this action too hot :")
hmmm she really stresses herself too much like chandu said
but as a typical indian girl i feel that girl like khanak will do the same as khanak is doing
woh apne liye apne husband se kuch bhi le sakte hain but here its her whole big family
aur family ke toh kya kehne pura khandan khanak pe chalta hain
she only has the responsibility towards her parents not kaka,kaki,chacha,chachi,mama,mami etc etc etc
we can help sometimes but yaha toh without khanak kuch bhi nahi
and despite of doing so much the family doesnt really care for her selfish selfish people
arrgghh back to my love birds :)
dadi is too sweet
and the blue line is very true loved it
thanks aditee for this lovely update
update tomorrow hehehehe :)))
aww, Khanak goes through so much for them, I am glad I only ended up being devoted to my parents the most, because they are the ones who care about me most
ReplyDeleteAwwwww!! I'm glad that even now they are people are devoted to their parents even that has been diminished now days.
DeleteHahahaha! Definitely no one is expected to act in response of ‘that’ at 5AM!
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad they were at war again...it feels odd when they are NOT fighting! I don’t ever see them being the happy gooey mushy type of couple, they have their own quirks
One thing is definitely proven I don’t see her asking for his help ever till he will take matters in his hand and the only way that probably be is when she starts to default and is in mess
He a class apart...I like how he doesn’t ASK her like a common ‘do you need help’ He conveys in most realistic style which won’t offend the other person either BUT Khanak is a whole different matter herself...he is right, she needs to learn when to say NO, surely Kaki is going to bother her about the Mumbai treatment and she’ll plunge herself into the hole again par kab thak!! Uff!
Where is Prad and his family?? I miss them...have they left already?
Thanks ALOT Aditee :)
Loved the way Shaan is trying to reason with her!! he wants to take care of his wife and is worried about her.......Khanak on the other hand has taken on herself to provide for a bunch of selfish relatives and i do understand her point of view in not taking his money!! looking forward how this progresses!! the fact that both of them are talking is the best part!! "Kuch zyada hi" was superb !!
ReplyDeleteShaan was right.. maybe she needs a finance planner...
