Shanak FF // Let's not fall in love...

Chapter 1


A pretty young lady wearing a peach colour salwar suit, she had put on a simple make-up, her kajal and red lipstick on her small lips were the highlights. She was constantly looking at her phone, checking the time, she had a few golden & white bangles on her hands. Then someone entered into the caf, he was wearing a brown lather jacket with a grey shirt & jeans. He sat in front of her while smiling at her, he then took off the sunglasses he was wearing.

Khanak: - So tell me.

Shaan: - Won't you say Hi to me, ask me how I'm doing?

Khanak: - Tell me what you have to say, I have an appointment in a few hours.

Shaan: - Relax yaar, let's order something & discuss calmly.


He ordered two caramel macchiatos and sandwiches.While he told her how he has been doing all those days, Khanak seemed to be pre occupied by something. Shaan asked her what was the matter, she didn't said anything but kept constantly asking him to say what he wanted to tell her. Shaan told her how much he missed her, how happy he is thanks to her & thanks to his new career. He grabbed her soft hand, looking deeply into her eyes, he requested her to give him a second chance so that they can start a fresh forgetting the painful past but carrying on with the great memories they had together. Khanak was looking at him with painful eyes, she took off her hand.

Khanak: - It's already over & please don't make things difficult again!

Shaan: - My life became like a song thanks to you, I thought that I was only incomplete without music but I was wrong, I'm only incomplete without you Khanak, I love you!

Khanak: - Sorry...I have to go now.

She stepped back on her wheelchair & left him alone after saying a simple goodbye to him, he was just looking at her. He was used to those bitter-sweet farewells with Khanak, it was funny to see how some little things didn't changed between them even though they are no longer together. He missed her terribly, he was so excited to see her face, to see that innocent cute smile. He was lost in thoughts for a while...

" I once had everything in my life, fame, success, luck & lots of love from my dearest ones. Then everything changed in just a second. I lost my best friend, I lost my love for my passion which was music & I quit our music band. Few years later I met that rich girl, in a wheelchair, her eyes were full of pain, sometimes arrogant but she had a kind heart, when she smiles I just forgot everything. My life took a U-turn after meeting her & then I found the happiness that was missing in my life, I took a new start. I fell in love with her but who knew that the incident who changed my life few years ago would affect our relationship...No matter what, I wont' let you go away from me again Khanak..."


5 months ago...

It was a sunny day in Mumbai, Shaan was on his way to go to his shop that he runs by himself and his sister Poonam with the support of his brother-in-law. But today he had to help his father, he is unable to drive so he replaced him for the third time. Shaan's father is a long time personal driver of a wealthy business man of the town called Mr. Mehra. His father is becoming weak day by day, Shaan & Poonam keep insisting so that he quit his job but he is too loyal towards Mr. Mehra. Mehra family always treated his father as their own friend & trust him a lot since 13 years.

Shaan reached a coffee shop, it's 9.05 a.m but he had to come at 9 sharp. He step out the car & took off his sunglasses, he looked around him no one seem to come or even look at him.When he turned around to go near the car, someone came to him. It was a young girl in a wheelchair, she had a worried expression, there was something in her eyes, she was wearing a yellow printed dress & had white sandals. He kept looking at her.

Khanak: - You are late, I need to rush...What are you looking at?

Shaan came back to his senses, Khanak looked at herself and her wheelchair, she was upset.

Shaan: - Sorry miss... let me help you.

Shaan was coming closer to her but she stopped him putting her hand in front of him.

Khanak: - I can manage myself.

She opened the backseat's door, grabbing strongly the seat with the strength of her little upper body she reached there and was struggling to take inside her right leg. Shaan came and helped her out, she thanked him in a small voice. Shaan closed the door & went to put the wheelchair into the trunk. After a few minutes, he started the car as she told him where to go.

Khanak: - Driver, I need you to take me to the blest jewellery shop of this area.

Shaan: - Mein? Kaise?...I mean I don't know such shops that can match your taste miss..

Khanak: - Miss Khanak, I'm Khanak. I need to buy a wedding gift to a closed friend and I don't have enough time!

A few minutes later, they reached a nice area with lots of luxury shops. Shaan & Khanak didn't talked to each other, only the radio was on, and the song Tu Meri Jaan was played, a song which is closed to Shaan's heart. He wanted to stop the radio but Khanak interrupted him asking not to as it was a nice song.

Shaan focused on the road, they came to a traffic signal, he was lost in his thoughts for a few seconds, he then remembered the good old days, how he used to enjoy music with his music band: Super 4. Audience always used to shout his name, music was his life. Shaan used to be a singer in his 19's, his band was composed by a bassist: Sam, the guitarist, Ajay on the keyboard & Shaan was the leader & lead vocalist along with Natasha, Sam's sister. His best buddy was Sam, they started singing together since they were 14 years old.

Shaan always had big dreams of becoming a rockstar & famous, he was not that good at studies but was the best for music. His passion for music started while listening to R.D Burman songs, The Beatles & more. During high school he didn't attended the tuition classes till the end cause he was practicing with Sam & Natasha. At the age of 18, while singing in a restaurant both of them caught a music manager's attention. And in 19, they released their 1st song along with 2 other members Natasha & Ajay. They became every teenagers' favourite & so popular among the young girls. During 3 years they ruled the whole India & the youth hearts. Their most famous song composed by Shaan & written by Sam entitled Tu Meri Jaan was their biggest hit.

Back to the jewellery shop, Khanak bought the watch that gained her attention & a bracelet, she payed and then went to the car. She asked Shaan to drop her a friend's home. She was silent during the whole moment, he was checking her though the small front side mirror, she was lost in thoughts watching the roads passing by. Then she suddenly spoke out.

Khanak: - Is it a good idea to gift something to your first love who's gonna marry someone else?

Shaan wondered about the question,after a while he answered her honestly.

Shaan: - You are gifting him to congratulate right so there's nothing wrong at that.

Khanak sighed to his answer and she didn't said a word until they reached home.

She remembered how she used to admire her first love and ex-boyfriend, both went to the same high-school & were teenage lovers. But after she went to aboard, distance & changes broke their relationship, he couldn't accept her how she was. A few minutes later, Khanak entered Karan's house, he welcomed her with a smile. They started chatting while having tea & some pastries. She remained silent when he asked if she can make it to his wedding, she gave him a sarcastic smile & answered him.

Khanak: - I don't think I'll feel comfortable being around people who won't be at ease seeing me, but don't worry I bought gifts for both of you, the blue packed one is yours.

Karan took it & thanked her. Khanak finished the tea & was ready to leave but Karan stopped her asking her to stay a bit more & have lunch. She refused but he stopped her stopping her wheelchair.

Karan: - I missed you yaar, stay a bit more after all we are seeing each other after a long time & I'm gonna marry in a few days.

Khanak stared at him angrily asking him to leave her.

Karan: - I know I hurt you, I really wanted to see you again, I missed you a lot Khanak. If only you could give me a second chance maybe things would have been different between us.

Khanak: - Are you saying cause you are pitying me or...

He wasn't letting her go & kept coming closer, then he grabbed tightly her hands, she started screaming loudly. Shaan who was waiting outside the car rushed into the house. Khanak was lying down on the floor, she was hurt & her wheelchair was also on the floor. Shaan immediately went to her, he asked her what happened, she just asked her to get her out of there. Shaan looked at Karan but he was indifferent saying that she wanted to get up from the wheelchair. Shaan doesn't understand what's going on but he doesn't trust his words. He lifted up Khanak, he was just looking at her without saying a word then he saw tears in her eyes, he then looked away. Khanak had her head against his chest, she was deeply closing her eyes & controlling her tears, she was embarrassed of the situation but at the same time she felt some comfort being in his arms, she felt safe. While he was putting her gently into the car, she was constantly looking at him. He closed the door & went to the driver's seat.

Shaan: - Going home now?

Khanak: - Yes please...Thanks.

Shaan: - Aap tik hai?

Khanak: - Why do I have to feel bad...I didn't tried to...

Shaan: - That only concerns you & him, none of my business.

Khanak: - Whatever!

Shaan didn't wanted to be disturbed by her, he kept focusing on the road now onwards.They reached her house an hour later, he bought her the wheelchair & putted her gently into it. Khanak thanked him & asked him to forgot what happened as she doesn't want anyone to know about the incident. Shaan laughed at her request.

Khanak: - Why are you laughing?

Shaan: - Nahi, baas...well who am I to you so that you can trust me?

Khanak: - Ajeeb driver hai aap, seriously!

Shaan: - Driver nahi, main toh sirf...

Khanak interrupted him asking him to stay quiet & only focus on driving. She was annoyed, well she was back to her true character, that made Shaan smile for a while. He was looking at her going towards the main gate of the Mehra house. He then turned back to the car but Khanak called him.

Khanak: - I'll call you driver if I need you ok?

Shaan: - Driver nahi hoon main!

Khanak: - Whatever!

Shaan then thought how strange & different she was from the other family members of Mehra family. Her name was so pretty but didn't suited her character, he also wonders why he didn't heard about her before, after all she is the youngest daughter of Mr. Mehra. He went to the shop, his sister was also there, he took in charge the management while she occupy the cashier. Shaan' s daily life routine are just work & family, sometimes he go to play badminton with some friends on weekends. During lunch time, he discuss about Mr. Mehra's young daughter, Shaan's sister Poonam then reveals that she never heard about her from their father but heard from some people that the daughter studied in London & came back few months ago after completing her studies. Later on, Shaan received a phone call from Natasha who reminded him to not forget that he has to meet her the next day.

Khanak is having tea in her balcony with her elder sister Ananya, they are talking about how Khanak wanna pursue her career & their father's wish to see her joining the family business like Ananya. Then the conversation ended with the topic of Karan's wedding but Khanak requested her sister to not mention him as he totally ruined her day. When she mentioned the weird driver, her sister Ananya was confused as driver uncle won't be able to come this week due to health issues. Khanak was a bit confused, she remembered all the times where Shaan kept saying he is not a driver. Before leaving the room, her sister asked her to get ready earlier tomorrow as a suitable match is coming to see him, she warns her to not mess up things tomorrow. After her sister left her room, Khanak was still there in the balcony, looking at the stars.She was staring at a specific star which she considered to be her mom, she was sad reminding the best last memories she had with her.

Khanak: - I miss you mom, if only you was there with me...

On the other side Shaan was sleepless as well, he was lying on his bed looking at the pic of his music band Super 4. His attention went more towards his best buddy Sam.

Shaan: - I miss you yaar...

Chapter 2

The next day, Khanak was dressed in a beautiful saree, a wealthy family came to see her with his parents. All are sitting together in the big living room having tea & pastries. Khanak came to greet them, she sits next to her elder sister. While they were chatting & asking questions to Khanak, the mother of the groom asked for some water. Khanak was about to leave to the kitchen to bring her water but she interrupted her as she doesn't wanted to brother her.

Khanak: - Aunty I can manage myself, it's not like I'm a kid.

Everyone were silent & tensed whereas Khanak was hurt, the groom's mother was embarrassed but her son spoke out to reassured & apologise to Khanak. Both went outside in the garden to get along with each other for a while. He seemed to be nice & ambitious but something bothered her. Khanak then asked him directly what he thinks about her, what he likes about her. He just answered that she seems smart, pretty & confident. As expected that was the answer all the other matches used to gave her. Khanak gave him a sarcastic laugh, she told him the real reasons which made him agree to come & see her which was only her wealth.

After the groom's family went, Khanak's father & step-mother were totally angry at her. Khanak's father constantly shared his true intentions to see her happy, to marry her off to a nice, well educated & rich guy who can accept her as she is. But his daughter argues on this, she is so disappointed seeing them acting like kids, they keep finding the same type of families who are only interested in her wealth, her father's reputation only. Why can't her parents understand what their daughter wants, the suitable match might be rich, poor or from a middle class family but most importantly he must like her as she is, he must treat her as anybody else.

Khanak then went to her room, she just took off angrily the jewellery she was wearing & throw them away. Then she went in front of the mirror and was looking at herself & said to herself that no one will accept her as she is. She doesn't need a big house, big company, rich clothes. She just wants a simple life, she wants to start her career before marriage & if she have to marry someone he had to love her for who she is not her money. But will she find her soulmate? Can she live like she used to be with her mom back then?

On the other hand Shaan went to meet Natasha, one of his closed friend & an ex-member of his music group who is know a famous solo singer. They are in a coffee shop, Natasha asked how business going on & how she & Amit missed him on her birthday. They talked about their life & relationships.

Natasha: - So what about shaadi? Amit already have kids, only you & me are single.

Shaan: - Are yaar, leave it.

Natasha: - Ok, yeh saab chodho...You know that you'll always be special for me. I don't want you to live like that blaming yourself for what happened to Sam. Moreover I know you can't never live without music, then why suffering like this?

Shaan: - Mein tik hoon Natasha, family business going well, my sister married a good guy, we are leaving happily. And Past is past!

Natasha: - Aur mein? I always waited for you, for you to accept me in your life forever but you just walked out since that day, you don't have to feel guilt towards me also. I still think about you & you know that I don't just see you as just a friend!

Shaan: - I already told you that I can't give you the happiness that you deserve or even think about another person in my life as for now, I'm not ready yaar, sorry.

Natasha: - I just hope that some day you'll move on, the day you'll pacify with music maybe then you'll start to live like before.

Shaan: - Nothing changed Natasha apart that our group doesn't exist anymore.

Natasha: - Anyways...So in the past few years not even once you liked a girl?

Shaan: - I don't know yaar...

Natasha: - I'm sure one day you'll meet a girl who'll bring positive changes in you.

Shaan: - And you'll meet & marry a guy who deserves you.

Shaan intentionally changed the topic, he knows how Natasha has been always there for him all those years, he once loved her but now he doesn't wanna hurt her giving her hopes. He hopes the best for her and he firmly thinks that they he is not her soulmate. He only has time for his job & family, he doesn't have any place for music, his passion and someone else in his life, he can't get committed for now. Of course his sister is busy finding girls for him & back then he was very famous among teenage girls, but he always wanted a girl who'll remind him of her mother, a simple girl who's ambitious, who's affection & smile will make him forget everything. Natasha has some of those qualities but both know they can't commit now and her career is most important than anything else like family always comes first for Shaan. She was her past, now they are adults, they are mature enough to know what are the best for each other.

While he was talking, Natasha just kept smiling at him even though she often feel sad inside every time she sees Shaan, her friend & first love. She was the one who supported the most after Sam's death and when their music group got broken. And Shaan always encouraged her in her singing career. Whenever he was feeling low, she was always there for him, she couldn't forget him but she still misses the old Shaan she used to love the most.

Khanak went to an art exposition, she called her sister to came to pick up but she couldn't reach her. So she called the driver uncle, he told her that he'll contact his son to come there. A few minutes later, Shaan came with the car to pick her up. While heading towards her house it's started raining heavily. Khanak opened the window of the back seat and was smiling seeing the rain she then putted her hand outside of the window to feel the touch of the rain drops. Her pretty black hair was waving along with the wind, she was enjoying the moment then she asked Shaan to stop the car near an ice-cream stand.

Few minutes later, she was having a vanilla ice cream corner, she was happily eating it looking at the rain. Shaan was having a tea near there and he noticed how Khanak was happy, she had a beautiful & innocent smile. He was just having his cup of chai & staring at her. He didn't even realized when she came to him that too drenched under this heavy rain. He then came back to his sense, he opened the umbrella he had & put it to cover her small head. She thanked him with a smile, he smiled her back.

Khanak: - What about you, we can't get into the same umbrella na?

Shaan: - I'm ok miss Khanak.

While they were finally leading towards Khanak's house, she was in a good mood and was talking to Shaan, asking about his whereabouts & she also apologised him for constantly calling him "driver".

Khanak: - Well is it ok if I call by your name, Shaan?

Shaan: - Of course, sounds better than "ajeeb driver".

She started sneezing, Shaan asked her if she was alright and asked her to drink a coffee once she reaches home, Khanak couldn't stop laughing.

Shaan: - Why are you laughing?

Khanak: - Because...because you are acting like a butler now!

Shaan: - If my father was there he would have said the same thing.

Khanak: - I didn't got to see your father since I came back to Mumbai, is he doing well?

Shaan: - Yes but he needs to take rest, I'm replacing him this week.

Khanak: - Cool...Well I like your driving & I don't know why I feel safe around you. It's strange but sometimes you feel at ease around strangers rather than with your dear ones...

Shaan was surprised by her reply he thought that after all she is not that weird or bad like she used to be most of the time. Like everybody else she also seems to have some pain inside her heart.

Khanak was resting a bit, she closed her eyes & recalled all the moments where she had to meet the matches selected by her family, most of them were only interested at her wealth and there was another one who was a divorcee. Sometimes she wonders how can her parents can choose such persons for her, are they hardly trying to get rid of her, well coming to her step-mother she always knew that she didn't liked her from the first day she came to their house. Of course Khanak feels guilty as she is the daughter of the other woman but still her mother never told her to disrespect her biological father, she thankfully found a true friend & sister in her father's elder daughter. There are many times where she feels like going elsewhere alone, far away from everyone, her family, those hypocrites friends... Khanak always had those questions on her mind: Why can't they let her have the life she always wanted to have? Why can't they treat her as anybody else?

Shaan dropped her safely, while she left saying a simple "bye" with an empty expression he felt weird, something was not right with her. How can she be so happy in a moment & then go all sad, he thought that he'll never understand this girl. But why is he bothered by her, after all she is nothing to him but still there is something about her that keeps disturbing his mind.


To be continued...
