She shut down completely after that.... emotionally.
She didnt see him the remainder of the evening. Ritu, Sonali and her played scrabble, Sonu being the least scorer... she seemed to be getting more shallow by the day... Khanak didnt know if it was Mumbai or the affluence of Khanak's sasural that caused her to be that way...
Ritu wanted to know where Gujral was Khanak shrugged it off
Dadi joined them for half a game and teased Khanak about having the sharpest Gujral brain.
Khanak smiled feebly at Dadi's attmept to reinforce the Gujral name on her. Didnt tell her how numb her heart was in contrast...
Pradyun had broken up with his girlfriend and was generally moping.. Bai and Aada wondered if he should be getting married now.. as he was expected to graduate in December
"They find their own Bai" Khanak said firmly but softly in Gujarati
"He seems to like you a lot" Bai muttered
"Dont say that aloud within my husband's ear shot" Khanak muttered
Aada: Are you throwing up less now? (smiling)
Khanak smiled softly.... reminded of the glorious joy within her
She could live the rest of her life with it...
It would be an understatement to say you guys share a contentious relationship" Rittu commented furiously
Khanak hadnt shared anything about the evening...
"Its his choice Ritz, if he doesnt want the child I shouldnt be saddling him with it"
"Did u go to the ultrasound with you today?" she asked
"Nope... I went with Babi and Adaa" Khanak responded carelessly
"Its like you are having a baby out of wedlock" Ritu muttered
"Could be" Khanak said softly......
The family gathered around in the rec room playing pool, cards and watching TV shows... Khanak sat in a corner with Ritu on one side and Pardyun on the other... they fast forwarded to the funniest parts of the Monty Python movies and giggled like silly teenagers... Sonali insinuated herself into the group and tried to make sense of it all
Shaan had given her lessons for a "fee" ofcourse during honeymoon on many such iconic cult classics
She pretended not to care and "failed" and he would make her "redo" the tests.
He was "tough"
A warm glow suffused all over....as she reminisced
They muted the TV and quoted the lines.......
"Bring out your dead" Khanak giggled when the Dead collector appeared.. in the Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Sonali furiously read the back jacket for cues...
Prad shook his head visibly amused
"I feel better" Prad voiced the line of the dead man
"No you are not, you will be stone dead in a moment" Shantanu Gujral quoted the next line in a completely expressionless voice
His wife turned red, but didnt look at him... but he noted the closeness the physical closeness his arch nemesis and her shared on the couch
