“What didyou need” he sulked.
“That’s no way to greet your Mommy” Madz giggled
He hugged her. She didt smell ike roses, some rare perfume….
Her ski glowing from all the beauty treatments and “nature spa” visits.
“Fine” he said, as she wouldn’t let go…
“Were you going somewhere Shaan?”
“Why?’ he asked not wanting to disclose…
“Khanak is upset?”
“Not that I know of” he lied…
“Madz sat out in the lounge/front room of the bedroom suite…
her things balanced out his now… what used to be only his…. There was a couple
of her pencil sketches adorning the wall by his 70s death metal posters..
framed as expensively his pop art…
“What did you need Mom?”
He was on his imac…. Lowering
the projection screen from the ceiling,
“How is your project?” she asked, bored…
“REALLY?” he barked…
“Ofcourse I care what you do, how you live your life”
“Fabulous” he said bluntly…
“Shaan my wealth manager wants to meet, he doesn’t think it’s
a good idea for me to do that eye hospital thing now in Nandhed”
Shaan couldn’t care less… “Then don’t” he said not looking
up from his key board…
The mouse pointer light flickered on the huge projection
screen, he didn’t want to use the rec room as Bhabhi’s friends were playing
rummy…
He waited for Rahat to call, Basil and Nachiket both would
get here shortly. His wife… MURDEROUS was dousing herself with cold water…
“Shaan I told Dad how much I wanted that”
“Mom I really cant talk right now”
“That’s fine, you don’t have to respond, I understand… how
busy you are, Gujral men..” she said smugly, as if Khanak was listening and she
was sending her a message to quit being clingy and childish and not expect
hubby to hold your coat tails where ever you go…
“I know you guys so well” “Main baat karron Khanak se?’
“About WHAT?” he asked irritated…
“I know…. Darling, it must be one of those things u know…
Mummy Papa did everything together so husband should too” her “Mummy Papa was
accent ridden like she was mocking the middle class life style
Shaan wondered HOW she knew what they were fighting about…
“Shaan Dad and I were thinking”
“Mom, I am readying for a call here” pleading…
“Akshay and Khsuhboo are on board…” she continued uncaringly…
“He threw the pointer pen on the key pad and folded his arms
across his chest and listened with angry attention…
HL walked in with her alchoholic drink, she wore blue jeans
and some chiffon kinda blouse knotted up upfront…
HL picked up his glass “Refill” he said shortly… as he heard
his wife in the master bedroom… maybe walking over to the closet, damp from her
shower… sulking, puffy eyed…
He hadn’t gotten laid in 3 days… he was in a good mood to
kick his Mom out cancel the meeting, take her to bed and then go wherever she
wanted him to accompany…
“In a perfect world” he cursed…
“You swear a lot these days” she said hanging up her call,
“No its not Khanak’s training” he spat back…
“Ofcourse not, middle class people raise their kids to be
very obedient” she used his statement to her advantage yet again…
“I am just preoccupied Mom, lets do lunch on Saturday?” he
offered…
Madz was not ready to leave…
His wife walked out as his Mom rambled about her non profit
politics…
His arousal was inevitable… in a flowing luscious lime green
chiffon…. No jewelry except a delicate black bead mangal sootra, of the
Maharashtrian kind… no bindi, no nothing, her hair curling up.. as if the
airconditioning was freezing them to death…
“Beta” Madz got up animatedly…
She paused… and turned around…
He stared openly….
“You look….lovely” “as usual” she said…”Shaan she looks best
in a saree” don’t you think?”
“Agreed! Good enough that I would take her to bed right now
and peel it off of her as she stares at me with those perpectually shocked eyes”
he thought….
She tidied her wet tendrils…
“Kahin ja rahi ho”
“Hmmm” she nodded…
“Let me guess… since you are wearing a mangal sootra it must
be a pooja” giggling
“Oh sorry tum to hamesha pehanti ho nah?” she asked coyly…
“I” said his wife…
She looked at the projection screen the live feed from Ulwe…
the noise the crew was making, and looked at him…
He held her gaze….
“Kahan ja rahi ho beta” Madz asked..
“Chembur”
“Oh my Gosh! Your “society”?”
Madz hoped the girl would still belong there…
“My society” Khanak confirmed it effortlessly…
“Nice” Shaan said to the video feed… as if talking to
someone…
“She looks lovely doesn’t she Shaan, sit down beta”
Shaan’s drink arrived with a bunch of finger food”
HL smiled at her overjoyed “Bhabhiji, Dadi ne aapke liye
dhokla mangwaya… aur sheera (sooji halwa) bhi”
Her face lit up…
“Kiske ghar ja rahi ho?” Madz acted as if she had to make an
effort to speak Hindi…
“Vaishali Aunty” Khanak said softly…
“Shaan is not going?” she asked with fake shock…
She didn’t respond… “Thanks Mom” said Shaan gulping his
drink…
Khanak ate her dhokla and sheera… Madz made small talk with
her husband satisfied his physical urge by staring at her while he spoke on the
phone…
He wondered when she would be back, he calculated when HE
would be back from the site later that nite… he wished she would still be in
the saree… he wanted to strip it off her…
As she fought him… that thought aroused him immensely… he
checked the clocked on the bottom right “8:08” it said… He had enough time to
make out… if only Mom would leave…
His wife would roast him over coals…
She looked at him like she would push him off a cliff…
“Dad never went with me to social calls on week nites…
especially if I had to go to places like Chembur” Madz pointed out….
“Oh” said Khanak.. not saying anything about how they both
were about to kill each other 25 minutes ago… she was extremely private…
“U know what beta, I AM GOING WITH YOU” Madz declared, like
she had just agreed to donate one of her kidneys…
Khanak began to protest
“No, I wont listen… my daughter in law’s commitment is a
Gujral commitment” Madz said theatrically…
He looked at his wife inscrutably…
HL walked up “Maam who 7th floor se Mrs Vohra
aayi hai”
“Oh really?’ Madz acted very surprised…
Khanak jumped out of her seat as if Mrs Vohra was there to
see her… not wanting to be left alone with him…
Madz was quick she disappeared, as her husband stood up…
approaching her as she fled the room…
Khanak” he said…she could smell liqor… she didn’t have to
touch him to know he was aroused… “Go to hell” she thought I am sleeping at
Aunty’s tonite”
“Hey” he stopped her holding her by the elbow…
She turned around…he dipped his cold right hand, the hand
holding his Scotch until a second ago, to scoop out the twin gold bowl like
Maharashtrian pendant buried in her
cleavage…er jaw dropped in horror…he took his time fishing it out, as she
yanked his wrist…he smelled like the Scotch…. Sulking Scotch…she knew what he
felt like and tasted like…her chest was still sore….he held the pendat in his
fist, she yanked it…”Let go” she hissed…he bent down as if he would kiss it…
letting his cheek and jaw rub her lips…gently
opened his palm laid the locket out on her heaving bosom..as she pushed him with
all her might and sprinted out…
He stood there recalculatin how many minutes he had to take
a cold shower…
Loved it!!! ♥ Madz is really on mission separating ShaNak..And even without plotting they may be separated soon due to the baby issue..:(
ReplyDeleteShaan went straight to point what his mom need..It must be rare occasion she getting in their room when ShaNak are together..And she keeps on talking all irrelevant things making him bored..lol..:D
He is working from home..No wonder Khanak is furious..He is just want his mom to step out of there but she didn't..:x Good he is supporting Khanak and cant take any thing against her..:)

Madz dont leave any chance to show that she dosn't belong to their class but middle class..She couldn't care less..Infact she is more proud..:)

ReplyDeleteJust captivated by the update as always :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you capture Khanaks beauty from his point of view…its like those eyes do the talking! Sigh!! It’s the subtle romance that makes Casa so deep.
Gosh! His crazy about her…counting hours, I hope she stays over chembur, make him ache for not going with her!
Ermmmmm…Madhavi is disgraceful! She hates Khanak get it. But it was HER SONS choice to marry Khanak. If she is not happy about it, she can keep her thoughts to herself.
Madhavi is going to get more emo if she goes with Khanak…I don’t want her too!
dats to go khanak! i loved her ignoring him n she being careless abt what mads was saying about her being middleclass :))
ReplyDeletei want to knw what happened with this casa nw i hope he doesnt plan to move or do someting big again
shaan is in big trouble soon i can feel khanak is really effected by shaans behaviour towards work n mads doesnt even see how much less time they spend he doesnt even take the weekend off :(
loveeed her lime saree she must be looking sexy that he couldnt control his emotions lol!
thanks so much aditi......khanak is effortlessly so patient.....i wish i was more like her nothing effects her or she does not put up a pretence to please anyone else too......i understand madavi....for someone like me who has a MIL who never really accepted me after my courtship with hubby.....she is bound to feel like this especially with vast class gap.....i really will like to know what is going in both of their mind regarding their endless arguments specifically from the guys point of view.....thanks so much aditi i can somehow relate to this situation espcially regarding khanak and her mil relationship....
ReplyDeleteShaan for all his brains, he doesnt figure out what his mom is doing.. loved Khanak... way to go girl... i hope she stays in Chembur :)
ReplyDeleteHey aditee..awesome updates aditee!! :))

ReplyDeleteMadhavi is trying hard to separate Shanak. Shaan is bored with her talks and want to send her out and wants to made out with Khanak ha ha ha ha
Loved how Shaan always defends his wife.
Shaan is very crazy of Khanak. Loved how he counted time
Loved the you described Khanak in saree through Shaans eyes. I am sure he won't get chance to rip saree off.
Looking forward to know how they patch up
