Thursday, March 1st
9:24 PM
They went without talking to each other for another couple
days…. She responded to his texts in one words… or just an “K…”… the trip to
Mansa loomed large over their heads… they were not willing to let go… it hurt
her that she didn’t have his support… it made him FURIOUS that something from
her past still could take her away in a heart beat….
She didn’t tell him about her parents visiting, for Holi…
her Mom’s FIRST stay at Malabar Hill… the house was full, Chachi, Ujju… Sonali
was there already on Thursday morning…. Bhabhi’s sister…
He had sent her a text “Mouring?” seeing her grey kalamkari
salwar suit… the text came an hour after she reached work…
“It has a red trim” she responded…
“Only if you had paid any attention”
The sarcasm was intended…
He wasn’t home… or did she see him in bed last nite… she…. Wanted
him…
Telling him would be too easy…. Sulking was hard… so she
chose that route…
Aada texted her as the train approached Bharuch station…
they were taking the 2:30 Shatabdi from Ahmedabad… expected to reach Mumbai
Central at 9:30… until her Dad’s text… he said it wont now… not until 10ish…
Dadi was texting her a mile a minute… requesting her to
return and saying Pradip can bring them…
“Nahi” she told Dadi…
“You belong to Gujrals, don’t forget that… one in particular…”
she added with
wink sign…
She sent a smiley back….
Bai looked tired…. And exhausted… she didn’t travel well…
she didn’t travel any…
The invite was forced upon her
Dadi sulked to be in Bua’s house even for two days… giving
money to her daughter came naturally to Dadi, but expecting service didn’t…
Bai: Your var hasn’t come? (FIRST thing?)
K:Ummm…mmm.. he must be at work (or drinking, or hauling
newly divorced women across parking lots)
Aada: You look tired beta
K:I am… I was at work at 8 Aada…
Bai: Do you go together?
Khanak smiled… “Umm..mmm”
B: Baat nahi karegi…(muttering sadly)
Khanak hired a porter… her arm hurt from typing all day… she didn’t want to do
it….
Chachi, Dad, Mom, Dadi, everyone was awake and waiting…. When
they got home
Dad teased her about looking fresh and chirpy since she was
with her parents…
Chachi was polite and kind…. Making sure Bai was comfy
Khanak asked Dadi” Shaan?”
Dadi:Yaad aa gayi uski? (mock upset)
“Only everytime I breathe” Khanak responded in her mind…
bth are ziddi!! just makin it hard for themselves :((

ReplyDeleteatleast they communicate through messages
aww shan is still very much concerned about whether her past will steal her away but they have come a long way ye toh socha bhi nahi ja sakta :) so dont worry about it shan just talk with khanak
so ahmedabad family is here lets c kya hota hain waiting for holi
update soon plz :)
Thank you so so much aditee!:D
ReplyDeleteIts like a kid getting its favorite candy! Your update brings that to me:D
Loved it..I guess, even Khanak has become a workaholic like Shaan:P
That's the only reason, they both can't see each other any more..
I don't know whose side am i suppose to be? i love his possessive, at the same time i do expect him to be by her side when she needs him..Plus at the same time, i do want Khanak to admit that she needs him! Uff! list thoda zyaada hogaya:P
Continue soon aditee..:))
Take care:)
Thanks Aditee!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Chandu! Both seem so right that we are conflicted on who is right and wrong :P
Wow! This seems the longest period of them probably have avoided each other even though they are within the same house :P
Hoping the make up is explosive and emotional! As they make up always brings out the feelings to the fore :))
Bai is surely going to get culture shock living with the Gujrals! She will know see the bigger picture of khanak in laws and 'var' :)
Waiting for first Casa holi...wondering if Prad will come over again :P
