There was color in his ear…
Nar:She is wily.
Shaan didn’t respond, just watched Khanak take refuge beside
him…
“My husband” Khanak said….
Nar didn’t let the look of disappointment be too obvious…
Shaan let his elation show though…
S:Khanak… Nar..
Nar:Khanak? WHAT alovely name!
Khanak stared with a “Really? IN
FRONT of my husband?” look
S grinned
Nar:I haven’t seen her before..
S:You were shooting for “Pravaha
Prem” when we got married, the courtship lasted a few weeks
Khanak shifted uncomfortably… the
familiar banging in her chest reminding her…
N:Sunil mentioned…
S:Khanak he is the most famous face
of Marathi cinema..
Khanak looked like she didn’t care
S:She is a Gujarati…
Nar was very curious… “How do you
fit into the Punjabi world?”
Khanak:Ummm
N:Does she not talk?
Khanak didn’t respond..
S:Mostly very lil… (smug)
N:Punjabis are hearty and
boisterous, I feel for you
S:Thanks! (winking)
K:I have to go…
N:I should have you guys over for
dinner sometime, I am in between projects now…
Shaan nodded politely
His wife tugged on his arm…
The men shook hands
Khanak smiled a half smile… and they
proceeded towards the stairs…
“Aap chal nahi rahe the”
S:Why the rush?
K:I…
S:He is an out of work actor Khanak…
K:I am not a producer.. I don’t care
(shivering, as she imagined those creepy eyes)
Her husband laughed out loud…
They were accosted by Ujju and
Sonali half way through..”Dadi wanted to know what kind of dal bhabhi wanted”
His arm went around his wife’s waist…
snug and firm… Khanak squirmed…
S:Is it lunch time already…
Ujju:And bhabhee won…………
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Khanak smiled, as she walked the
corridor… he gently let go of her… as they entered the house, professional
cleaning crews were heading up through the service elevators to clean the
terrace, booze and food lay strewn all over…
Chachi clapped.. “Jeet gayi tum?”
Madz:Kis baat par?
Chachi: She spent 5 hours running
away from him…
The women crowded around her to
congratulate…………
Shaan: I couldn’t get to her… I gave
up after a point
K:Ha! I am the winner! (proud)
Shaan smiled indulgently……..
Madz rolled her eyes “Kids these
days.. we would crave to be caught” (blushing)
Chachi: And then whatever followed
would be glorious (blushing as well)
Madz:They don’t know the joy of
Holi..
Khanak blushed… at such brazen talk…
chalked it up to the two Punjabi women being drunk…………
Shaan was on the phone… he signaled his
wife.. she handed him his fave snack from the coffee table……
Amogh leapt into her arms.. Khanak
giggled “It feels like Ive just cleared the IAS exams”
Shaan turned to look at her once as
he proceeded to go up to take a shower
The cacophony continued… Bai and
Aada readied for their cleansing bath… HL brought her chai and snack……….. they
treated her like a princess…
There were two extra helper girls
today, rubbing and scrubbing oil on people… helping them get the color off…
By the time she showered and stepped
down, wearing a beautiful emerald green chiffon saree, a designer gift from
MIL, it was past 3… the crowd and noises continued in the huge living room……….
Sonali stuck to her like glue…
feeling her saree, her hair…………..”Can I wear it for College Day dee?”
“Hmm” she nodded
“Aaj aap pehan lo to main lekar
jaaoon?”
Bai:Abs not! Its her MIL’s gift..
Sonali:Then I will ask Jeeju to buy
me one..
Bai looked at her unpleasantly……..
Dadi: Puttar do me a favor?
Khanak eager and willing”Jee Dadi?”
Khanak’s eyes and skin sparkled… the
rich oils and the nice massage the spa girl put her through ………… showed…….. she
looked gorgeous…
“Dadi: Oopar agar who cleaning crew
hai to will you please go check, if they found my Krishna charm bracelet?
Khanak:Oh! No! Meri wajah se? I know
I ambushed you…
D:Silly girl… not you…the clasp was
really loose
Sunil:Ma where is the Hindi?
Dadi:Ooops! Mera matlab… ughhh.. forget
it Sunil, I need more lessons, please go check beta…
Punjabi music and conversation mixed
and rolled…
Khanak took the elevator up…
Dadi quietly opened her palm to
reveal the gold bracelet that had baby Krishna figurines hanging in various
shapes and forms, she winked at Sunil “The crew is long gone, and here is my
bracelet”
Sunil’s jaw dropped… as he looked up
at the ceiling…imagining Khanak's plight in the empty terrace........... as her husband waited for her
oh goodness!!! That was too good:D
ReplyDeleteThank you aditee!!:)
Khanak was jumping in joy thinking that she has won..;)
Uugh! I hate Nar..why didn't Shaan get that??
And even Sonali! Bai is right, Khanak shouldn't give her saree..
