Madz tried
her best to smoothen ruffled feathers between her and Shaan… called to her
loudly, when he called “He wants to talk with you beta”
All
the guests stared openly at her English fluency… Khanak ignored her with a
smile “I just texted him” she lied…
M:Check
ur text hon(into the phone)
Khanak
vanished…
“The
NERVE” she fumed…
She
literally had to KICK her out of the event at 1AM… she threw a childlike fit
wanting her to return too “I will Ma… soon”she promised…
Spent
the nite with Vaishali’s sisters and his sisters at Ritu and her apartment…
jumpstarting memories of her widow days… she stayed up most of the night… guilt
ridden as if she betrayed Sooraj……. As if Sooraj was still alive and she
cheated on him with Shaan………the matel bore the agarbatti stains where his
picture used to be…she felt it………went to her favorite window…….
Stared
out at the street…busy even at 3:40 am… the baby cried downstairs… light was
turned on… she smiled… imagining a frown on that angelic face… she wore a
magenta lehanga in Maharshtra silk… with puffed sleeve blouse… and a kajal
teeka….
Her
insides churned… as she imagined holding her own…he/she would have Shaan’s
creases and that cleft on the chin………..strong hands…….she blushed…closing her
eyes…
They
were apart even when they were together… yet they pined for each other… she
wondered if he missed her in bed…
“Working”
she said aloud… as she made her way back to her bed…in the bedroom…
Her
phone now powered… glowed… as the battery was fully charged… it rested on the
same spot where Sooraj’s photo used to be…
~~
4:18
PM
The
evening after, she was dressed in the traditional gorgeous green Maharashtra
cotsilk saree gifted by Aunty…the edges untrimmed, silk threads loose and wayward
stuck all over…her hair tied in a high knot, she was sweaty and tired, but
continued to clean up the now empty upstairs apartment… folding bedding,
sweeping up the marigold flowers, her jasmine string was fresh and and fully
blossomed…she returned to Chembur from work…unfazed…kids ran in and out…the
baby cooed downstairs…everything was familiar, yet not…….
She moved
a heavy coffee table to grab some dry flowers underneath… a pair of men’s feet…
extremely fair…almost pink… in kolhapuris came into view near the open front
door…she saw blue jeans….her heart popped into her mouth…before her eyes
confirmed who it was…
They
stood staring at each other
Loved it!!! ♥ Finally Madz went from there..And Khanak reminisced abt the past..And Sooraj..He always himself present even he is no more..Again the feeling of betrayal..Too much caught up in emotion..
ReplyDeleteHer baby..Awww..Wish ShaNak ve twins..♥
She returned back to Chembur..If they get separated will she stay there..Is these all some prelude?
And Shaan comes to pick her up finally!!! Awww!!! What if its Pradyun.. ;)
Looking forward and thank you for writing an awesome update!!! ♥

ReplyDeletekhanak is feeling bad for sooraj :(( shaan wont like dis even chembur makes him insecure tho sooraj is not even alive
yayayyayaa! he is here hope khanak cries n makes him feel awful like always lol!
brilliant update aditee waiting for next update plz plz plz
thanks aditi......im noy understanding mads motive one time she wants them separated and one time her back to the home......whatever it is im not worried khanak is not naive either and also if they are separating its because of their own reasons not a MIL playing politics game :-)
ReplyDeletekhanak is gorgeous i know no particular person who i imagine her as....the way you depict her is way too elegant......shaan is here iam waiting for the firework show dont want her to easily give him a lease this time and take her home....she should be firm :-)
thank you aditi :-)
why khanak is guilty NOW also
ReplyDeletemissing sooraj is ok but why feel guilty :P
next day also she stayed at chembur ?
yayyya shan aa gaya
waiting for next update soon :)
Missed reading Casa the last week, finally got time! Thanks so much Aditee :)
ReplyDeleteMads and her drama! Ignore.
Hahahaha! Shaan is seriously brash and courageous! Good. She never spoke to him. Its not a one way street.
If Shantanu and Khanak have babies it should a be twins :P
Khanak is gorgeous! Seriously. No wonder he is always captivated by her.
He is in Chembur and I agree with the majority. She should not let him take control this time. It cannot always be his way or choices. She should give him a good drabbing and refuse to go :P
Waiting for the next Aditee! Thanks so much <3
absolutely loved reading the 206th and the 207th part..........Madz is confusing me.........what is she up to........showing off like hell at chembur........its good that Khanak does not get affected by all this........and she stuck to her plan of staying the night at chembur!! the way they met the next day was superb.......looking forward for the next one Aditee!!
ReplyDeleteCompletely loved this update so much!! I love her Chembur memories with Ritu, Sooraj and Shantanu i can so understand her feelings for Sooraj he is her past no matter what she can't forget him she loved him when he was alive now she loves Shantanu like crazy they both can't live without eachother i loved Shantanu's entry superb description i would loved to read his mind and thoughts next they should spend sometime talk to eachother their heart feelings in Chembur!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome update <3 <3
Love u loads <3 <3
Aditee loved the update
ReplyDeleteWhy Khanak is guilty. Sooraj is part of her life she can remember him but why guilty?
From the time she came to Chember Khanak didn't talk to Shantanu even once
Khanak thinking about their babies.....they should have twins
Loved the way Khanak thought about Shantanu.
Next day too Khanak stayed at Chembur
Loved Shantanu's entry.
loved it.. its now Shaan's turn in Chembur... hope it will be as electric as possible..
