Part 133


She didn’t see him after that…. The slamming of the door and the gulping SOR in rage… not at night, not during the day, not on Instant Msgr, not on Text… Ritu called her almost every hour, between Feb 24th and Sunday the 26th… Kritik spoke to her as well… but not her husband… she pretended to not care… Dadi hovered around her when she was at home…. Bai called her and told her to head to Niyojan Nagar and not go to the bus terminus
Her flight to AHD was at 6:40 AM, she booked first and told Sanjay later.. he wasn’t happy… two Mondays in a row, “is not good” he said…
She was not sure how much he knew of her past, so she just told him her signatures were needed “in person”.
He appeared to not believe….
Ram and Renuka had wanted to hang out over the weekend… Khanak declined and apologized lying about “Dadi need physical therapy for her twisted wrist”
She prayed they wouldn’t contact Shantanu…
“I met him at breakfast in the morning” Dadi told her on Sunday
Khanak ate quietly
“Sunil doesn’t know. He will be furious”
“At my going?” Khanak asked dispassionately
“No at Shaan’s acting like this” Dadi lied to help the young girl
Khanak shrugged as if she didn’t care…
“Ek aur doon pancake?”
“Nahi”
“Your fave maple syrup came last nite, the Duggals brought a pint for you”
Khanak didn’t smile
“I”
“Your mind is filled with words constantly, but they all erode when they reach your lips”
“My flight is at 6:40, mujhe 5 baje nikalna hoga”
“Raat ko kab aa rahi ho?” Dadi asked, as if all she cared about was when she will be back…
Khanak’s heart skipped a beat, Dadi’s possessivemess and caring must be genetic…Someone else she knew was similar
“12:11” likha hai
“I can come to the airport” Dadi said firmly…
“I will be fine” Khanak said resolute…
“Mansa kaise jaogi?”
“Bus hai, 11, 1, 4 baje”
“I will”(send a Hertz car?)
Khanak interrupted her Dadi saas
“Nahi Dadi..”
“We cant have you taking a bus”
“Aada will go” Khanak said softly
“Take a cab beta”
Khanak didn’t want to…
Bridging the gap between her past and present was impossible to do…
“My past exists” “Scaling it by a private jet, or shrouding it with rupee notes will not make it pretty” she said softly
“I am proud of your past”Dadi countered, vehemently (hiding her guilt at being caught by her grand daughter in law)
“Only you are” she said softly, biting her lower lip at revealing her despair about her missing mate.
