PART185
Shaan’s phone ang off he hook, Dadi noticed it… Madhavi was
too inebriated to care about what was happening, the Bollywod’s star’s spa
opening invitation had gone to every two bit TV actor in Mumbai but she was
missed… there was “real” grief!!
Pradyun: How about we play 11 games, best of 11?
Chachi: Beta, aren’t you tired after all that dancing?
“I am, but I am not going to bed” she told herself, nahi, I
had a good dinner, I am energized now…” she said softly.
Dadi:Mahi, you can take the room with the tan door beta, it
SHOULD have night clothes toiletries etc… Khanak do you want to show her beta
Mahi:Oh! I know the house! Dadi (smug)
Khanak wondered “Did you make out in every room? A base in
each room?”
Khanak:Umm… Dadi..
Dadi:Jao beta…
Chachi: When you are upstairs will you get my crepe bandage
puttar its on my nightstand…
Khanak: Dadi, the window was cracked nahi… in the third
guest room?
Dadi: Oh! Yes, HL had some one come over and we had the
glass replaced..
Dadi:She is so thoughtful, she worries about mosquitos…
Khanak laughed to herself “I don’t care if mosquitos get to
her, I was hoping they would” she smirked to herself…
Shaan:HL, refill please!
Khanak turned around to look at her husband, he looked tense
and preoccupied, but was paying enough attention to meet her eyes..”What?’ he
asked with his eyes…
“Oh! Spare me the love sick puppy routine, she is here so
quit drinking” her eyes told him…
His phone rang again “Rahat? Where are you?” he asked…
holding his wife’s gaze…
“I can see you in two”
Dadi:You are going straight to bed
Khanak turned around and walked up the stairs, Mahi followed
her giggling on the phone… “Hey Khanak does he still have the poster of the
whisky in a stiletto?”
Khanak turned around and looked at her… didn’t answer…
looked at her husband… strangely, his eyes were on her when ever she looked at
him… he held the two inch tear on his V neck with his index finger and thumb…
preoccupied as he chatted… his index finger and thumb held something else an
hour ago….he paused mid conversation…
“Did you need something?” Mahi asked… confused, her call on
hold…
Her husband turned away, and she did too…
Whisky in the stiletto was one of her fave images lining
thewall , the long passage leading to the bath room, closet area… she asked HL
to put it up every few weeks… she changed its location too… he would smile
every time he saw it… she was very picky… he knew it… now… flowers only from a certain
florist in Bandra, the arrangement wild and natural… “Like you when you are
naked” he would say when he later made love…his most recent floral gift to her,
was a green tool box with, with lavender
cabbage roses… embedded in dill shoots… the notes were the same “To Khanak,
From: Shantanu” he always sent it to work, she always brought it home…. Set them
by the bed…if it was a chocolate “flower” arrangement, she would eat the ones
that were rich & dark… and leave the ones with nuts…
“mmm.. hmmm” would be the soft denial he would receive in
response to ANYTHING…
“No Khanak” would be his, when she tried to curl away from
him and think of sleeping… when he came to bed….
“I am tired”
“I am not” he would say… he never was…. And when he would
let her sleep an hour or so later…he would chuckle as she would put as much
distance as possible between them, lest her skin would arouse him again…. He would
wake her up anyway…
“This is your room” Khanak said softly opening the door…
Mahi looked at it “Wow” she said…
“I didn’t do anything here, its all Dadi and Ma.. matlab Mom”
Mahi walked around like a ramp model “Can I play poker with
you?” she asked…
Khanak was quiet for a while just like she always was “ Hmmm…
but you cant win easily” she said smiling biting her lower lip… the words were
firm….
Y shan tensed ?

thanks so much aditee for a lovely update :))
thanks aditee brilliant enchanted by this couple always enjoyed all the moments from flashbacks to mahi......khanak is playing with fire she'll burn more or will ready to kill her husband for all this grief both need the rest and find mutual agreement
ReplyDeleteLoved it..♥ Khanak is determined to play poker even tho she is tired..Awww..
ReplyDeleteAll Gurjals are so welcoming..Dadi not understanding Khanak's insecurity regarding Mahi..
Khanak is at her best..Want mosquitoes in Mahi's staying room..lol..:D She is so realistic unlike the serial heroines..That is why love her a lot..♥
How lovingly ShaNak speak through eyes!!! :) They both are lost into each other even when all are there..Though they are fighting..
Mahi remember everything..Is she testing her? And pulling Khanak to the edge?
His gifts are unique..The FB are awesome! ♥
OMG..So Mahi wanna play poker with Khanak and want to win..Didn't expect it..Above all don't know why she is staying here..
Hope Khanak wins..If not Pradyun..But Mahi must be expert in poker too..Tough battle..Will Shaan join? Who gonna win?
Looking forward and thank you for writing a fabulous and intriguing update!!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Aditee!
ReplyDeleteYou should have wrote the time this time! Now I will ponder over if Shantanu will play poker or even be here to watch the tussle!
Hahahahaha! That poster is definitely going to be smashed on her HUBBY soon the way Mahi is testing her limits ;-)
Khanak is SO adorable! Seriously. I mean mosquito bites or maybe she can come up with something worse!
Sighhh! The FB more so unique its own sense I adore how both are SO different yet their personal attributes are similar but the contrasting habits draw them towards one another...Its a subtle way of how they both balance each other out without acknowledging it!
Update soon! Poker game seems the nail coffin for either Mahi or Khanak :P
such a lovely update that was Aditee.......loved reading it........why is Mahi staying here.........arre apne ghar jao bhai.......leave the couple alone!! the flasbacks that you write are amazing.......also loving the tension between them in the present and the fact that Shaan's eyes are always on his wife!! eagerly waiting for the next one!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome updates aditee!!! :D
ReplyDeleteWhy is Shaan tensed?! That left me wondering..Fingers are crossed..
I don't have any words for the flashbacks aditee..:)
It's too good!! They make us happy as they are with each other;) :)
Im not liking Mahi and Madavi..:(
Shaan is leaving? Please let him stay aditee..
Waiting for the poker, and I so believe that Khanak is only going to win:D
And yes, now, that Whisky in the stiletto image will be out of his room;):P
Waiting for next aditee..Update soon:)))
Thank you so much for giving wonderful updates!!! :D
