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...
