"Did she quit her job?" he asked in complete shock...
Dadi's heart stopped functioning for a few seconds...
"Ummm" she cleared her throat... and then said "Oh! Wow! beta why would she do that?"
Her face turned red in guilt...
Madhavi was looking at her son...
Sunil did not conceal his confusion either...
"Mistryji ke yahan gayi na woh?" "Ma tussi vi kudi de naal..." (more confused)
Shaan was scrolling through his call list
"What the hell is going on?" he barked....
He wore, blue jeans and a brick red, v-neck tee, with frayed edges on the sleeve... in soft cotton... kinda faded with Versace on it....
"Did u speak with her today Dadi?' he asked the woman...
"Haan beta, I called her (DID not say what number she called) she sounded busy, to maine socha I shudnt talk much"
"Should I call ACP South?" "Is she safe?"
"Let me talk to Tiwari, I know they had a troubled relationship"
"Cmon Sunil usko aa to jaane do, why are you beating up on Sanjay?" Madhavi offered infuriating advice
"I am not suggesting he drove her to resign Madhavi" Sunil jumped out of his seat... ready for a fight...
Shaan was on the phone... about the site...
"His wife has quit her job and is not returning his calls, he cares about the site more" Sunil yelled....
Shaan put his call on hold "Shouldnt some of that nastiness be directed at HER?" he argued...
Madhavi: You guys!
HL quietly refilled the drinks
"Bhabhiji ke liye kya banaoon, mutton koftas aur salmon hai raat ho Dadi" HL whispered...
"Arey HL, Khanak Bhabhi ka dinner to rehne do" she said smugly...
Shaan went back on his call
Sunil called ACP South... Purandare...
Did not say anything, just chatted for a few and hung up...
Paced the room...
Dadi's worries began to slowly drag her down like quicksand....
Her daughter in law alone, in suburban Mumbai... her parents thinking that she is home safe in Malabar Hill
Her grandson, bursting an artery...
Shaan hung up on his call "Did u actually call Mr Purandare?" he asked his Dad
Sunil: Akshay kab laut raha hai?
Shan:Where is he? At the Nariman Point office?
Dadi: Sunil....
Sunil: Ma ek min...
Dadi:She will be home soon...
Shaan:HOW do you know, she wont answer the phone, she quit her job....
Sunil:Tum lade us se?
Shaan:WHHHAT?
Sunil:U caused it obviously....
Shaan:REALLY DAD?!!
Dadi:Sunil...
Sunil:Ma ek minute....
Sunil: Is he ever home?
Shaan:I am here... dont speak in thrid person!
Sunil: 20 GHANTE SITE PAR REHTA HAI YEH
Madz:Its his job... she knew that when she married him, Akki is in Brazil two weeks a month... Khushboo kahin bhaag gayi kya
Sunil:BHAAG GAYI? Madhavi... have you made up ur mind Khanak has left him
"Um mmm mmm.. mera.." Madhavi squirmed...
Sunil:Have they been fighting Mom?
Dadi: Mujhe...usne (Dadi dragged her feet totally fearful, but hoping something good will come out of this fiasco)
Shaan: We argued over a Manchester United win, for 30 minutes Dad... I sent her a video...we spent 30 minutes flirting... we both wished we could be together making out in rec room"
Sunil looked like he swallowed a bird... "THANKS for the details... Dadi baithi hai yahan"
Dadi:He has said worse to me (laughing feebly)
Sunil: Did u buy her something nice? Did u take her out to dinner... are you (he stopped)
Shaan:YES TO ALL, I sent her flowers, after we made a pact we wouldnt buy each other presents.. we ate out... lunch... the evening she left for Ahd... she didnt eat much... becoz the pizza came soaked in olives she said... and YES... we make love every nite... I wake her up if she is asleep""THERE! DOES THAT HELP?"
Madhavi turned red... "Way to go Sunil, questioning your son's intimate life" (hissing)
Sunil: Whhat? Arey yeh seedhe mooh baat karne ka time nahi hai iske paas..
Shaan took a call again...
But hung up quickly...
"The fact that she quit her job tells me, the disapearance is intentional, the fact that she switched off her phone COULD be because she is in trouble?" Sunil looked visibly worried...
Shaan:I am going to call Ritu...
Sunil: MA Is ghar mein you are her best friend... did she say anything to you.... pehle Dilli ab yeh"
Madz:Oh! Puhleez... Best friend? I doubt anyone other than her husband she even talks to (she inadvertently admitted to herself that Khanak talks the most to Shaan)
Sunil:Madhavi, please... Ma aapko kuch kaha usne, Shaan ne kuch kiya... jiski wajah se?
omgggg!! he is so angry and me sure he will bury her for just going like dat not for the reason of being pregnant :O :O
ReplyDeletei think dadi would tell sunil as i see dis plan wont work for too long n plus shaan so openly told his dad its good between dem so sunil would get more worried :((((
awwww i loved his confusion and anger also his worry abt her he must be going through so much as he doesnt even know why da reason she left wen everything was good btw them :(((
mads is using this chance to show all her hatred towards kkhank but good thing it everyone is just ignoring her lol! he comments make no difference the them
thanks so much aditee i always wanted this twist but his confusion and anger is making me feel sorry for him now! lovin it! continue soon :)))
Loved it!!! ♥ Shaan is so furious..He is kept in the dark..What will happen when he knows Khanak kept the biggest secret from him? Awww..
ReplyDeleteAll are baffled by her disappearance..
They gonna call the cops..How long will Dadi pull up the act? Hope she realize what she did was wrong..Come on..Given her age..She needs to know this..Dadi is wrong here..
Agree..All blaming Shaan..Khanak is the actual culprit here..Support Shaan all the way!
Poor Shaan..Except Madz all are against him when it comes to supporting him on Khanak..
Madz has a point..Khushboo is very adjusting in tht way..ShaNak fought over a game..lolzzz
Gujral family is so outgoing..Talk all this openly..lolzzz
Good..Call Ritu..But she will fib for her best friend..
Looking forward and thank you for writing a superb update! :)

so i m juz counting days wen u will be giving update where shan finds khanak ;)
awesome fantastic mind blowing update aditee love the title and update too :D
he is angry and confused....he cannot access the circumstances in why she left....they are all valid......khanaks quick irrational decision will serve its purpose or have some consequences coming from him.......loved the way you portrayed his anger.......waiting for the next one as well i want to read dadi's response thanks aditi :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved all 3 parts sorry read it earlier couldn't comment on time i am enjoying Shantanu's reactions its perfect as the title of this part!
ReplyDeleteAditee i didn't get why she quit her job and hiding in same city what is the point? He can find her easily and i want to know Shantanu's thoughts!
Khanak is sick with nausea and his first thought was to call Ritu would like to read the convo and beautifully written i loved how he answered Sunil!
Love our Shanak <3 <3
Excited to read next part!
Thanks Love u always <3 <3
Aditee loved the update
ReplyDeleteShantanu is confused, furious and worried. What will he do when he knows Khanak disappeared to hide biggest secret from him .......... wants to read Shantanu's POV
Shantanu said all is good between them and openly said about their intimate life without shame and Sunil is worried more and he is analysing the situation.
Madhavi got a chance to talk about Khanak but everyone is worried for Khanak and ignored her comments.
Loved Sunil and his comments even when he is angry and he blamed his son but Shantanu also right Khanak is real culprit, who disappeared and he don't even know the reason ............... Poor Shantanu
They wanted to call ACP and Sanjay. Dadi knew her plan backfired and she won't be able to hide. May be she shares with Sunil
Shantanu wanted to call Ritu and waiting for Shantanu and Ritu convo
Waiting for next update
looks like Madhavi's intentions are going to spill out.. oops.. calling the cops as well.. hope Dadi tells them soon...
ReplyDeleteabsolutely loving Shaan's reactions...........and sunil's reaction and his questions and Shaan's superb answers...........i thoroughly enjoyed this part!! dadi bechari phans gayi hai.........looking forward Aditee and thanks for writing!!
