He missed a couple of key points that evening at his crisis meeting at the site, Nachiket noticed and asked him later over beer, it was past midnite...
"Whats going on man?"
"I am not sure" Shaan evaded
"You werent at the meeting, you know it, I hate that whiny grating monotone of the structural engineer too, but that was not it"
"Khanak has vanished"
Nachiket looked sombre and serious...
"What do you mean vanished"
"She left for her parents, last week, we spoke before she boarded her flight"
"Did u guys cal the cops?"
"Dadi was with her the whole week, her loans have been paid off"
Shaan hadnt shared anything about her financial situation previously with his boss, Nachiket of course knew of her family, their financial dependence etc... he was a rock solid, polite, discreet boss, Shaan couldnt have asked for a better one, or gotten a better one, even if he went looking
Unlike Sanjay Tiwari....
"You think Dadi has something to do with it? But why? She always roots for you guys"
"Unless she is rooting for the new guy" Shaan blurted, swallowing a pint all in a mouthful choking as he spoke
"Whhaa?" Kya Matlab?"
"Dont know... I am trying to get to the bottom... Dadi is not panicking, Ritu isnt...."
"What about Dad"
He spoke with the ACP South I think, Purandare"
"You guys are so well connected... the CM would come calling"
Shaan shifted uncomfortably... he didnt want his boss gushing over his wealth or status, at work... none of that mattered...they tried to keep the Gujral financing of the Ulwe Project as hush hush as possible...
Construction mafia was dangerous and cruel in Mumbai
"There is no foul play u are sure?" Nachiket asked
"I am hoping there isnt... Dadi didnt have an aneurysm so that tells me she is safe some place"
Nachiket waved for more slices of pizza...
Shaan checked his voicemail during then....
None from her...
His degree of rage and frustration was peaking... he was definitely not willing to forgive...
indeed his rage and anger is justified..... he is justified to come with assumptions especially when it is simply out of his logic that she can be pregnant..........he is bound to be angry even after he finds her.....it was illogical......thanks aditi enjoyed reading his turmoil and continue very soon :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww..Poor Shaan..Couldn't even concentrate on his work due to this fiasco..It surprising he shared his wife missing with Nachiket..But I guess he needs to share his thoughts too..
ReplyDeleteGujarl financing their project..Cool!!!
Still he is thinking wrong way..She being gone..
Well..Its unforgivable..Khanak disappearing like that..But he might knowing he gonna become a dad..
Wish..She stop this silly, immature and childish acts soon..

ReplyDeleteMissed Casa!
Splendid! I am loving his agony, frustration and anger!
I think he will find out soon enough BUT I want you to slow it, I want more of the pining and his anger :P
Obviously, no one will link him to Khanak! I am wondering how he will discover her!
Youre too good Aditee :)
Waiting for the next!
loving this Aditee, on one hand I don't want him thinking she is cheating, but I also like that he is not finding her too easily either
ReplyDeleteinstead of shaking Dadi up for the truth, he is sulking and thinkg about another man @ work.. this shows how much he cares for her.. idiot...
ReplyDeleteLoved it Aditee his worry, anger and frustration is clearly seen but he is thinking wrong.. I really loved his convo with Nachiket! Beautifully written :-)
ReplyDeleteWill Khanak know he thought there was another guy in her life she would not forgive too..
Excited for next part!
Love u always <3 <3
Aditee superb update
ReplyDeleteShantanu couldn't concentrate on work and he is worried, angry and frustrated and he don't want to forgive Khanak
Shantanu shared about Khanak missing to Nachiket and loved their convo
So Gugral's financing Ulwe Project
Shantanu knew Khanak is safe somewhere because Dadi and Ritu weren't panicked but don't like him thinking there is another man in his wife's life ............. what would be his expression when he get know real reason for Khanak's missing :)
Waiting to see how will Shantanu find out about Khanak :)
