Part 179


Part 179
Saturday 9:59 am
His admin interrupted him atleast a dozen times, he threatened her with “You need to be at work” and then she didn’t call anymore, There was three baskets of mail on Paula’s desk…looked like Ajmera was going through a crisis…. The doorman was smiling though….
The project was fraught was troubles, labor, legal, design… and everything else…
He pored over designs, spoke to Nachiket… in the very conference room him and his wife encountered each other during the early days of pursuit…. Not a thing in her appearance gave him a clue she was a widow, she didn’t wallow in self pity… she was cheerful and smiling, she spoke little…. Paula was her friend… she saw him approach and usually didn’t make eye contact… they both knew that’s what they both craved… it’s the closest they could get to imitate a touch or a carress
He would play with the same pen she did while talking with Paula, stare at her doodle… very artistic…her “Bye Paula” would echo in his years…
“Shantanu” she would say as soon as he answered the phone, “Aap?” when she answered, like he was the most unlikely person to ever call her….
He suspected the pause soon after was to calm a racing heart, his would be speeding too he could use the extra pause himself…
“Nachiket and him called Rahat at home, talked for over two hours, looked at the webcam from the site, asked the site head to dial in, chewed on awful chicken sandwiches from Coffee Day…
“Its food, don’t get over dramatic”
“They lived before they became a meal for you” she would argue…
He would grunt like he didn’t care..
“Shantanu aap meri baat nahi sun rahe, she would wave his hands as he dived into his NFL game on TV…
He would pretend to fail in catching her tinkling bangled wrists… “Khanak” he would say softly, rhyming with the sound…
“Shantanu” she would repeat… “I sent you 4 emails”
“PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ Can I just watch this game?”
“No!” she would say with a shrug…
He would beg… she would hold his face and turn it towards him…”I”
“Dear God!” he would graon… as she would slide her slender hand under his crushed tee…
“Some things work!” she would chuckle… he would tackle her knock her breath out… and continue watching “I am begging you Khanak” he would shout…
“I don’t hear a plea” she would argue………….
Their lips would collide………. The game would be forgotten until a collective roar of fans from the TV would make him push her away not so gently… “I want” she would complain… he would check his watch and say “In exactly an hour and 48 mins…” he would say abruptly, tying her arms and feet protectively around her.. as she would curl on his chest……….she would lay in his arms and start to sleep………………..
~~
“It seemed like we were outside the elevator” Khanak sobbed in her balcony…
“Oh! Honey!” Ritu indulged…
“He completely ignored me” “Not once or twice but 4 times” she wiped her tears away…”I saw the disdain in his eyes, the indifference like I am some impoverished fun raiser for a charity”
“Uncle wanted you to sign the papers” Ritu argued…
“I don’t want the money” Khanak shrieked, “Even if it means I am his poor starving wife”
Khanak cried… Ritu shushed….
“Pradyun’s here” Khanak spoke nasally, blowing her nose… “He is sweet” “He is helping me forget Shaan”
“Have you?”
“NO!!!” “He” she stopped…
“Amen!” Ritu muttered softly…

  8. I'm going to treasure the mini pursuit flashback forever!
    The simplest gestures can truly be romantic and you only have the touche to show it

    I loved the bear hugging between them! It is like thats how it was meant to be all along
    Hahahahaha! Khanaks "They lived before they became a meal for you" That had me rolling off the floor! Her sense of humour is just something else :)

    Khanak is sly. She is complaining about Shantanu when she is actually doing the exact same thing herself! Such a devil...who would believe this quiet timid girl is bomb fire!

    Now can we have back and forth! I want them the FIGHT again...all those stack of emotions returned, sighhhh!

    Thanks Aditee so much! It was SO good to read it after a crap day!
