Short story :You Belong To Me(Shanak)part22page33 - Page 15

Shaan could have finished off the dinner first among all, but he remained there still and eating the food slowly. He didn't like how Yash behaved with Khanak during their first meeting, so decided to wait until Khanak gets ready to leave the kitchen. He knows what type of a guy Yash is, a straight forward and over-friendly sometimes. Being his brother didn't help to ease his discomfort, rather he became afraid thinking that Khanak might get along with Yash better than him. Yash, on the other hand enjoyed the dinner like his mother, complimented about each and every thing that was served to them. He talked with Akshay about the work and how bad he missed all of them. When they were finally done Yash asked Shaan why he was still there without moving 'I know you are waiting for my sweet bhabhi' came his answer which was infact right. sweet bhabhi, thought Shaan. When did she become his sweet bhabhi? 'Yes, I mean no, let's move' Shaan hid his desperateness to be there for Khanak as he stood from the chair.

'Bro, now tell me how did you managed to get an all rounder? I mean Tashu wasn't an all rounder' Yash started as soon as they were alone. What did he meant by saying an all rounder? He touched his chin to hide how much he was trying to avoid the conversation with Yash. 'ok, let me ask Bhabhi, I'm sure she will tell' Yash wasn't in a mood to leave them alone, thought Shaan. His mind forced him to do something to avoid Yash flirting with Khanak. 'No need Yash, I will tell you' he held Yash by his arm, unexpectedly feeling that he might go and ask Khanak. 'It's very simple, just go to a small town, like Dulwadi and spend three days there, the first girl you see there you will definetly fall in love with her' it wasn't that bad, thought Shaan while answering Yash.

Shaan saw Khanak coming out of the kitchen and said good night to Yash and followed Khanak upstairs to the room. He covered her eyes with his powerful hands and she shouted out loud. He covered her mouth by his other hand and whispered into her ears 'shh..don't be afraid' and led her inside. He removed his hands from her eyes instructing her not to open her eyes until he tells to do so. 'one, two, three...there you go' she slowly opened her eyes and handed her a file. 'what's this now, Shantanu?' without opening it, she questioned. 'this is the project of my latest project, I want you to join the office with me' she gasped for some air, as she found it difficult to believe 'but, Shantanu, I have no idea of any of such things, I know nothing about the business' he cut her words 'Khanaaak, no buts and ifs ok, I'm your husband and I want you to work with me, what is wrong with it?' She knew that his words made a sense but she has never been into any of such things. 'do you think that dad will agree?' that was her only concern. 'of course he knows, and he was so happy knowing my decision...I would be more happy if you come with me, so that I can see you all the time' so, this was his intention on doing this. 'Shantanuuuu, no way, if I go to office I will be very professional and you won't get a chance to do anything like you are thinking right now' she was firm with her words. Before sleeping Shaan explained her about the project and told her how important that project is to him. They stayed a bit longer on talking and discussing about Mandhira and Yash as well. 'Khanak , be ware of Yash, he is very dangerous' Shaan warned her thinking that she would be scared to get any closer to Yash. None of them knew when they fell asleep while talking.

The morning sun welcomed into a whole new day and Khanak woke up abit later than usual. She smiled at Shaan who was still in his deep sleep with one hand under his head and the other holding her into him, showing how protective he is. He is so handsome even in his sleep. She remembered him being a tough, angry guy who hated her like anything before, has changed completely for her. She is so lucky to have such a caring and loving husband. Slowly she got up, and had a bath and headed down stairs. Mandhira was doing her morning puja in the mandir when she appeared there. She greeted her and asked whether she needed a cup of tea or not. Mandhira touched Khanak's face and head and prayed for her happiness and well being telling that she had already had her tea. Khanak excused herself saying that she needs to make tea for Shaan. Mandhira smiled at her lovingly thinking that she is the perfect girl for Shaan, wanting her to live as long as Shaan exists.

Shaan wasn't in the room when Khanak returned with his tea, he was in the bathroom. She waited near the window enjoying the rays of the morning sun, without noticing when Shaan stopped besides her. She was taken back by the thud at the door 'bhabhi, bhabhi' came Yash's voice. What the hell is wrong with Yash, now that he is coming to their room, Shaan became annoyed, but opened the door. 'may I come in' Yash asked for permission and Khanak nodded
her head smiling at him. 'what's the matter with you Yash, now that you came at this time' Shaan asked wanting to know what Yash was upto. 'actually I need to buy a list of stuff for tomorrow's puja, mom asked me to do it for her. So, I came to ask whether bhabhi can accompany with me to do the shopping' Yash wasn't that flirty as Shaan knew him. Shaan found it difficult to believe 'actually Khanak is going to office with me today' it was such a good excuse to keep Yash away from Khanak. 'no, Shantanu, I will be going to the office only after the puja' Khanak made him defenseless, by helping Yash. 'okay, take her, but remember to call me as soon as you finish' he said while giving a parting kiss to her forehead. Khanak lowered her gaze feeling embarrassed when Shaan did it infront of Yash. 'bye, bro, I don't remember seeing you this romantic before' Yash winked at Shaan showing his thumbs up to Shaan

You Belong To Me - Part 16

None of them talked untill they reached the shopping mall and started looking for the items they needed to buy. Without much thinking Khanak showed one after another to Yash to see whether he too liked her choices. Yash was very quite and Khanak felt uneasy, because he talks too much as far as she knew. She shrugged her shoulders and forgot that and continued with her work.

It was almost time for lunch, when they finished shopping and Yash suggested that they should have luch at somewhere near by, because they would not be able to reach home so soon. Khanak felt uncomfortable with his suggestion, yet kept quite and followed him to the restaurent. As soon as they were seated a waiter attended them. Yash's phone started ringing when Khanak started to order for food. 'hello, bro' Yash said cheerfully. So it was a call from Shaan, thought Khanak. 'no need to worry, we are in for lunch, if you want you can talk to bhabhi' Yash handed his phone to Khanak. 'ji?' her voice for so soft, and Shaan closed his eyes to feel in it. 'Did Yash do anything to you? I mean did he talk alot?' so, he was concerned for her, thought Khanak. 'Shantanu, he is infact very good, and we are going to have our lunch, and you too have lunch now' Khanak instructed him. 'how to have lunch without you, my beautiful wife' Khanak lowered her gaze in embarrassement. Yash had a huge grin on his face upon seeing this and winked at Khanak. 'ok, bye' Khanak wanted to end the call but Shaan's words stopped her. 'ek kiss dhona?' Shaan pleaded in his style. 'no way! Mr.Shantanu Kandelwal, now go and have your lunch like a good boy' and hang the phone. Good boy? Thought Shaan. Is he still a boy? Oh, god! He will never understand her words in his life, but smiled at her words and went off for lunch.

The food appeared to be tasty by the smell as well. Once they started eating, Yash started on his mission, but from a distant at first. 'So bhabhi, you like the food?' Khanak nodded in agreement. Yash wondered from where he could start his mission. He cleared his throat, which made Khanak to giggle. 'actually bhabhi...I wanted to say thanks for coming with me...' his tongue didn't help him to let out the words he wanted. 'Yash, it's not such a big deal to say thanks, after all I'm your sis-in-law' Khanak cheered him, with her sweet words. 'I..didn't mean it...' Yash found it difficult to speak. 'I...I ..I wanted to ask about ...something..' He hasn't experienced this in his life so far. 'what is it? Yash, are you alright?' Khanak was concerned about his reactions. 'I wanted to ask about her..I mean ...you..no, no no, about her' Yash sighed as he let it out. 'about whom? I don't get what you mean?' Khanak has no clue of what he was talking. 'Actually bhabhi, I wanted to ask since last..who is that new girl in the house?' Finally he has let it out. 'ooooh! you mean that girl..with straight hair?pointed nose?in salwar kamees?' Khanak giggled while getting to know about who he was talking about. Yash nodded his head and rubbed his hands to overcome his curiosity. Yash asked everything about Gopi, who was in the Kandelwal Mansion during a short visit to Khanak. Khanak told him that she would be going back to Dulwadi within two or three days time. Yash become sad knowing this, but decided to be friends with her at least, for that he needed Khanak's help. So he pleaded Khanak to take Gopi out to somewhere so that he could talk to her, alone.

Shaan called again after the lunch and knew they both are still out. He became mad by knowing this and hence wanted to go there to see what they are upto. Without thinking twice he drove to the address Yash gave to him. He entered into the restaurant and saw Khanak and Yash talking and laughing at each other. Shaan couldn't believe what his eyes saw, after all he had told Khanak evrything about Yash. He walked to them and kept his hand on Khanak's shoulder.
She turned her head and saw Shaan standing there, made her even happier 'Shantanu, you are here at this time? you are supposed to be in the office' she stood from her chair. 'why? surprised to see me here? Am I in a wrong place?or shouldn't I be here?' Shaan wasn't happy at all of her question. 'Shantanu, I didn't mean that' Khanak smiled at him and tried to read his expressions. 'Khanak, didn't I tell you last night?' Shaan dragged Khanak to him as if she was in danger and he came to save her. 'I remember everything Shantanu, and it isn't what you think of. He wanted
to know about Gopi' Khanak's words surprised him and he gathered her in arms to hide what was happening within him.
