Mangal Kunj
10:09 PM
Balcony….
“But… I have to” her voice trembled…
He stood there with an expressionless face….
“So you are TELLING me? And not ASKING me?”
“Shantanu” plea
His hands were tucked into his pocket, ice in his SOR
sparkled and bobbed…
She was trapped between thorny rose bushes and her livid
husband…
“Dad can dig up a contact in the Distt Registrar’ office…”
dismissive
“I” “I don’t…” she stopped
“Since you have made up your mind”, he dumped the entire
liquid in his mouth and walked away without giving her a second look
She stood there starting at the sea… she could hear traffic
at a distance…. Some one on the 6th floor was having a patio party,
there was lights and sounds from it….
The air smelled moist, and like roses…
She did not cry, turned around, went into her sketch studio
and spent an hour in it… sketching some boats she just saw… fishing boats, …
When she went down at 11 ish… Dadi was awake… from her face
Dadi guessed
“You must eat now”
“No I am not hungry Dadi” she said firmly
“He had to go to the Site, some urgent call, he should have
been a PROJECT DIRECTOR instead of a Design Director”
Khanak admired Dadi’s observation… it was all part of the
Casa-Ajmera-Gujral puzzle…
She didn’t have energies to dwell on it now…
“Usko bolti hoon tere liye milk shake aur cookies bhejega”
“Nahi dadi she said
“Tera miya to lamb tikka aur chicken biryani khaakar gaya
hai”
“Good to know” she said uninterested
“Beta”
“I have to tel Sanjay in the morning Dadi, who mujhe jaane nahi
denge to?”
Dadi sat down…
“It doesn’t seem to be letting up does it? Cards are
constantly stacked against you”
Dadi uttered loudly
Khanak’s lump in the throat slid to her eyes and dissolved…
“Shaan is pig headed, I hope for a time between the two of
you where there will be complete understanding” she said softly
“Ya to Khushboo maanti hai ya Akshay, Khushboo to khair
kabhi give in nahi karti, but Akshay loves her to much to fight constantly”
Khanak listened
“TUM DONO ka chakkar mujhe samajh nahi aaya”
She spoke rapidly in soft Punjabi….
“ Ziddi itne ho dono… subah yahi sochkar uthte ho ki aaj kis
baat par yudh hoye”
Khanak lowered her eyes guiltily
“You are putting up a solid fight. I don’t think he expected
this when he pursued you,,, you appeared docile and mild…. Bolti itna kam ho tum...”
“WILL OF STEEL” Dadi said aloud looking at her in shock
hmm.. as expected he didnt agree...
ReplyDeleteLoved it..:) Finally Khanak said to Shaan about her impending visit to Mansa!!!
ReplyDeleteHe is so livid and not ready to let her go..Awww..
And he is still insecure!!!
Dadi is really cool..Agree on the "Project Director" part!!! Shaan did ve clue but didn't expected Khanak to be too stubborn and came to know abt it after their marriage!!! Even if he would ve known he still would ve pursued her!!!
Will she be visiting her parents home too???
Looking forward and thanks for writing an amazing update..:)
dadi is scoring points with her words! lol!!
ReplyDeletehis reaction was not too scary as i thought lol!! but me sure he is gone sulk and me moody about it again :)))
bingo! on what dadi mentioned it is time when both try to compromise a little :(
bless dadi! but if khanak was all what shaan thought she was they would have been like a regular couple :))
they behave like both cannot stand each but cannot live without one another kab ayega waqt jab both will like to give and take :D
Omg....dadi is hurt wid khanak's behaviour.....
ReplyDeleteShaan does'nt want khanak to go but....
Nice update aditi....

ReplyDeleteShaan already left?! Oh god!
Dadi is too good!! I want to know what's going on in shaan's mind?!
Loved whatever Dadi said..abt their pursuit, and ofcourse the yudh part!:p
Continue soon aditee:)) eager to know, whether she'll go or not..and mainly will he accompany her it not:p
Thanks alot :)
ReplyDeleteHis reaction expected!
As exasperated as dadi is about both…her words spot on although some word of wisdom needs to be inserted to the guys head too! He needs to tone down on his WORK and her on the track load of obligations!
Can we have some inspection on what is going around the guys head
Hey Aditee read all the updates of this week just now and loved each one of them!! the 128th part was awesome, the whole Delhi trip was lovely........and then comes the unexpected twist......superb........how do they face this situation is going to be very interesting!! this week i had been very busy and so could not make time to read Casa but this couple was always there on the back of my mind.....love them like crazy.....and i missed them!! this problem in their life is making me worried as it involves Khanak's past.......pata nahin Shaan kya karega!!
ReplyDeleteaww, Dadi is amazing, wish there was a way to explain things to Shantanu as well
