March 3rd
Nite after Holi
9:20 PM
“Ma ne kaha kal sabko sign karna chahiye tha, Holi jot hi,
tum sham ko soti rahi” he poked Khanak…
“Ummm” Khanak pretended to recall WHY she slept…
Shaan chuckled…
“Chalo tumhe aur tang nahi karoonga beta sign karo, he said
answering a phone call, getting up as he did…
Its over 22 signatures” he muttered, as if that relieved her
stress…
The women talked in a separate group, about spas, kitty,
extra marital affairs…
Bhabhi entered handing a leaping Amogh to Khanak… Shaan
messed with him by refusing to allow him to be taken by his wife…
“Keee” he said, short for “Kaki”
Khushboo: “Shaan quit bothering my darling”
Shaan picked up Amogh and set him down firmly, Khanak tried
to show interest in the papers, but fussed over Amogh hissing at her husband
“Shhhhhhhhhh stop it” she said…
Amogh screamed, wanting to be with his aunt…
Dadi and Madz turned around…Madz smiled enjoying Amogh’s
plight…
“Shaan beta, let him be with Khanak. Kyon tang kar raha hai
puttar?”
Khushboo didn’t care anymore she was on the phone in the
second balcony adjacent to the room……….
Khanak picked him up firmly, as Shaan pulled the pencil from
her chignon… freeing her black silk… Amogh yanked a handful…
“Kaka is mean” she coooed
She TRIED to grab her pencil with her left hand… he played
games with it swaying it around Amogh’s face… Amogh tried to grab it… later
just sucked on his fist… teething and irritable, he gave up on his insolent
Kaka….
Khanak rocked on the balls of her feet singing to him in
Gujarati…
Shaan watched it from between his eyelashes, sipping his
chilled beer… her Aada walked in… smiled at his daughter… Shaan smiled and
nodded but didn’t put his drink away……
Dadi: Avaya Sood apparently told her nanny she is never
coming back, Mrs Sood is inconsolable…
The Soods daughter in law was apparently having an affair
and going away with her boyfriend to London… leaving her daughter behind…
Khanak overheard bits and pieces here and there… but didn’t really
dive into it…
Mrs Duggal and Mrs Rawal from 2nd floor appeared,
the women pecked on each others cheeks……. And started talking in English
flavored Punjabi… one of them born and raised in Canada……….
Aada wandered, whispered to Khanak “Bai is tired, I will go
to bed too” he said
Khanak wanted to go with them…
Dadi:Aap baitho khaana mangwati hoon (she pressed the page
for HL).
Aada: Arey itna saara kha chuke hum 7 baje iski saheli ke
saath
Dadi: Who khaana unke liye bana tha, hamare liye abhi ban
raha hai
Aada squirmed looking at liqor bottles, beer bottles,
everywhere… Madz was nursing her Bourbon mourning the neighborhood gossip…………
Chachi was drinking a beer……
Aada: Sorry bilkul bhook nahi hai
Dadi smiled gently…
Dadi:Milkshake bhejoon
“Arey nahi, hum log bus… soyenge” he looked totally out of
place………..lost at sea……
Sunil reappeared, “Ho gaya sign?” he asked…setting his
Scotch glass down…
Khanak shook her head…
Nobody except her husband was paying attention to the fact
that she hadn’t signed yet……….
Sunil walked up to her “Why beta?” he asked shocked…
“I” she bagan… taking a couple steps away from her hubby…
Amogh closed his eyes and began to snooze……..
“Shaan must have told you about going to the Americas Cup
and then to Peru in September?”
“Dad.. I should not be signing” she started…
“Haan to pehle padh lo, you can sign in a day or two” he
offered…
“I shouldn’t ………..not be part owner of the family wealth”
she spoke with bad grammar shaking her head her lips quivering… “It’s a huge
honor but I don’t… I shouldn’t be receving it” she completed firmly very sure
of herself…
Sunil looked shocked…he hadn’t expected it at all, he didn’t
know how to respond… leave alone what to say…
Shaan picked his beer up, “Gujral” he barked into his phone…
stepping out of the room without looking at his wife…he EXPECTED it, but just
had to see it with his very own eyes… how far she would go, how hard she would
yank his chain…
Khanak hugged the baby and looked at him leave, Khanak didn’t
need ANY encouragement from Bua at all… she respected her father in law too
much to speak so directly about it…Bua’s words ringing in her ears “She is a
gold digger that’s why she remarried a wealthy brat, she netted a huge catch
despite being a widow she didn’t care about the Mistry family honor, if she did
she wouldn’t have married a Punjabi man… they brush their teeth with meat every
morning.. they have NO sanskar”
… Sunil stood in front of her… noticing how completely
devoid of color his bahu had suddenly become…Khushboo had signed before Akshay
did….Khanak wouldn’t….

ReplyDeleteshe is soo amazing and admiring this way i mean she is so strong about it :))
i knw her hubby wont like it n he knws her nature too so it was expected but maybe she declined the family might made him angry :(
i think sunil might ask her to give in and dadi explain she is a gujral so its okay

i want shaan to overhear her bua talking to her like this me sure he will never let her go their where his family is insulted
waiting for next and what shaan reaction is to this nw and thank you for back to back updates :))
Loved it!!! ♥ Sunil wants Khanak to sign..Amogh was a good distraction!!!
ReplyDeleteShaan is not even letting Amogh to play with his wife Khanak..LOL..:D Awww..Loved how he pulled pencil from her hair..♥ How cutely she sang in Gujarati..:) It'll be a daily chore when ShaNak ve their own children!!! ♥
Aada is totally bewildered to see the sight of all indulging in drinking..Shaan acknowledged him but as usual didn't bother to stop drinking..
She didn't sign.. Sunil didn't get it the first time..But later got so shocked!!! Shaan expected it though!!!
OMG!!! Her Bua spoke so badly!!! :x How dare!!! Did she remain silent hearing all those things??? :O
Though she might ve not signed the paper even if Bua didn't say a word like this too!!! Her self esteem is too high!!!
Looking forward and thank you for writing an awesome update!!! ♥
two back to back updates Aditee....dono ek se badhkar ek!! I am very excited to know what Sunil's reaction will be after this!! Khanak is one awesome girl!! the part with Amogh , Khanak and Shaan was lovely!! Aada and bai must be feeling so out of place....... . par beti ke liye sab manzoor ......they are really sweet!! Shaan and Khanak in front of Sunil in the last part was a treat!! loved every bit!!
ReplyDeleteI KNEW IT!
ReplyDeleteEither you have be admirable as Khanak to reject something like that!
She is too self-respecting to even think about it…although am happy she didn’t say it infront of everyone
I guess Sunil has encountered another aspect of Khanak, which he seems struck by!
Gosh! Amogh and his ‘kee’ are abs cute…the hubby doesn’t like no one paying attention to her :P
One thing I really find annoying about Khanak/Aada is both are quiet and people still don’t stop wagging their tongues. I hope for once they speak for themselves…I don’t expect her to be rude. But clearly cut her Bua out to tell her what her life is none of her business and she has no right whatsoever to critise her hubby/in-laws
Now the dual match starts between the couple…HE knows her well but both of them are relentless that it never able to bridge the emotional gap between them
Khanak reluctance is agreeable to an extent but I guess he perceives it as her ‘self-respecting and strong will” and her trying to outcast herself from being a ‘Gujral’…I like her to reason with him for once!
Thanks Aditee…update Soon :)
