Part 221
They sat on Khanak's divan... Ritu had let Vaishali Aunty keep it when she emptied the apartment, one of the sheets it was covered with was Khanak's from her trip to Ahd... bought during her visited while he courted her....
"I am not too hungry" he said softly...
She still wore the crushed moist saree... When she attempted to change after he dried his hair on it he had stopped her... "Leave it on"
"YOU dont get to take it off" she warned... he always liked to unwrap her saree...
"Oh! yes... the whole getting pregnant if we make love sword" he chuckled...
She was quiet... she went to bring her laptop out of her bag....
Dinner was in a half hour, there were around 25 people left excluding the Gujrals.......
He went on the phone.... his damp towel was on the divan now...
"Niiice" she muttered removing it... and hanging it in the ledge off the window....
Reminded her of old times....
Ritu would sleep in.... REALLY SLEEP IN... on Saturdays... not wake until 2 or 3 in the afternoon...
Khanak liked to take naps... so she would have brunch, do the laundry and take a nap....
They would giggle over chai in the evening....
"Can we leave after dinner?" he offered...
"Oh sure! Aap jaayiye" she said...
"Are you still mad I didnt visit last nite?'
"Mmmm...mmm"
"So I am OK?" he asked with mock fear...
"Oh please! Dont pretend like you care" she argued... agitated....
"Khanak I swear" He laughed...
"I might have to go to Sonali's college for a parent social... Bua cant make it"
Shaan's face tightened...
"What about Fa?"
"He has started something new so..."
"Ofcourse"
"I gave her the idea of Nursing in Mumbai" she said softly...
"So you are the parent" he said firmly...
"I"
"Shouldnt they be going?' he prodded...
"I told you" she said with a faraway look...
"You need to stop over extending yourself he said"
She looked at him startled... his tone was mellow, his eyes seemed like they cared for her...
"Not that you would notice" she muttered...
"I notice Khanak" he said deeply... took a deep breath... and was silent... texted...a while...
"I notice your bra is sparkly gold.... the Maharashtrian mangal sootra u are wearing has a twisted link along the left side of ur neck by your collar bone...."
She instinctively placed her hand on it... it pricked her...he knew...
"I know of those 2 hour phone conversations with Kaka"
"U just go through the bill"
He was silent....
"U call my admin if I dont return ur texts" he continued....
"Only to make sure I can work late" she lied softly...
"You lie to your husband" he said in a slightly louder voice as their eyes met...

Loved it!!! ♥ ShaNak sitting in divan brings out so many memories..:)
ReplyDeleteShaan wanna go to his home..Khanak is so stubborn and wanna stay here..After their marriage this s the first time they gonna stay for the night here..:)
Khanak responsibility is huge..She shoulders it herself..Its practical for her to attend the meeting for Sonali..As their parents cant come from Gujarat for this alone..
Shaan notices all minutes things about Khanak!!! ♥
She lies so cutely to him..:) lol And he enjoys it too..
Looking forward and thank you for writing an awesome update!!! ♥
yayy thank so much aditee :))
ReplyDeleteawww he want to take her home lol! if he can convince her :P
i enjoy their ending talk it was too good shaan is so correct with this problem of her doing too much for her family she needs to stop being a helper for everyone :((
aur ending mein woh sahi tha he does care for her too but she doesnt want to see it it looks like but he does thats why he cant see her upset :((
he catch her lieing lol! he is smart enough to win her wit words n dis time she cnt deny either :))
updateee veryy soon plz plz plz plz
hayeeee its kind of sexy and possessive whenever he says this 'i know it all' lists HEHEHHEHEEEEE ;)
ReplyDeleteand her calm and soft reactions to it startled ho jana ye sab attractive hai :)
love these two
hayee ye raat khatam hi na ho
update soon :)
They are not arguing for once and TALKING…Chembur has its charm :P
ReplyDeleteThat’s exactly the problem between them! She acts she doesn’t care and he is less approachable! But men tend to be less receptive anyways! I don’t blame him…I actually liked how he conveyed in a roundabout way he does care and so does she!
Ritu is right…she needs to be more forthcoming…how much she contradicts through her words of how she doesn’t care! The two year marriage is a testimony of how much both do care….otherwise long ago they would have separated.
I loved loved his direct nature! His one sentence exchanges stack of emotions between the two…
I really do want to hear his reason for a no baby…is it due to their unpredictable relationship or just to be with her?
Thanks so MUCH Aditee…the pink/blue are bang on!
Loved their convo on Divan :-) <3
ReplyDeleteHe cares for her and notices everything small & big details about her r registered in his mind always!
I loving the blue and pink lines more to come and love it when they talk!
Thanks for the update!
Excited for the next!
Love u always <3 <3
loved it
ReplyDeletekhanak would have took her sentiments to the grave…..bless shantanu for his honesty………it has been easy for him to read her as he familiar with her persona….. to a 3rd person she looks emotionless…….tremendously enjoyed the exchange not necessary to say i care…….you inherit the art of convincingly displaying relationships with orignality.......thanks aditi :-)
ReplyDeleteAditee lovely update
ReplyDeleteLoved the way Shantanu and Khanak sat on divan and talked.
Shantanu wanted to take her home but Khanak wanted to stay there.
Khanak takes responsibility of all people of her family and Shantanu said she needs to stop being helper for every one.
Loved how he cared for her and notices every small and big details about her and registers in mind.
Loved pink and blue lines and Loved the way he caught her lying and she didn't deny it too
uff.. these 2 r still talking..
ReplyDeleteShantanu's list about things he has noticed about Khanak made me remember all the other instances in CASA where they had listed such things about each other.....right from the beginning........sab ek se badh kar ek.......loved their conversation Aditee, and the way you write it makes it amazing.......want more of it!!
