FF-Zindagi returns Updated next part - Page 5

All the hubbub and humdrum was really getting on her nerves. She excused herself and went to her room upstairs and passed into a blissful nap.

New York

"Mere sapno ki rani kab aayegi tu bit jaayein zindagani kab aayegi tu" he sang along. "Ishh Shanky " she closed her ears "Just stop it."

He just flashed his besharam smile once again with his sparkling whites. "Tu itna behuda flirting karta hain toh yeh saari ladkiyaan tere peeche kyun marti hain, mujhe toh aaj tak samajh mein nahin aaya"

He just smiled in reply kept his hands on both her shoulders and slightly pressed her shoulders with his weight which again earned a glare from her. "Because my dear" he whistled, raised his collars a bit and waved his hands in air, "I am Shantanu Khandelwal, their hero." and flashed a toothy smile once again.

"But you fikar not" he placed his hand on his chest and furrowed his eyebrows a bit which was part of his assuring antics which led her to smile inwardly "You are not a girl. So you are safe from me."

"Very good joke!" she huffed and started walking fast.

"Have you heard a better one dear" he raised his voice a bit, laughed heartily and followed her.

They seated themselves and found their own favourite delicacies she- pasta with hot sauce and he simply a chocolate coffee.

'That reminds me" she spoke with a mouthful and in response he lifted his eyebrows a little from the drink and said "Hmmm?" and again dropped them to the drink , "Of a certain personality who does not like you a bit" she narrowed her eyes on him with a mischievous glint in them.

"And who the hell is that poor soul with a poor choice" he stifled a laugh.

"Kh..a..n..a..k" she said completely savouring the word with stress on each syllable.

He coughed so loudly that all the eyes in the caf zeroed in on them.

He stabilised himself a bit and said "I do not care about her. She simply does not match up to my standards" and made an I-don't-care face.

"By standards, if you mean wearing skimpy clothes and behaving sl*tty then no doubt she is way above that!" she concluded defeating him in his own argument.

This hit him sharp in his heart. He had known about his image in the eyes of the people. He was a Casanova as per the popular judgement. However least did he bother about such prejudices.

He knew that deep down his heart he was the same family man every girl would wish for, he respected women, never shied away from his responsibilities, was a charmer, excellent in oratory skills, had a sense of social responsibility and all. However there was another facet to his character which included random relationships, dumping girls within a week, dating multiple women together, commitment wary and all.

It was very difficult to correlate the two and hence people only saw one version of him which was generally the latter one. While he was very happy with his status he knew there were very few girls who were unattainable to him because of his character. It was pretty easy to dismiss them as "behenjis'" but that was not the case with Khanak. She was smart, independent, modern, non judgemental, caring and affectionate just the type that would be every mans' fantasy. However he had to resign himself to the fact that girls like her were unattainable to him but she was the exact type he wanted-tailor made. To sum up, he was simply not happy with what he was getting but on the other hand he could not provide enough to get what he wished for.

"Lucky bas***d Akshay" he murmured.

"What?" She asked furrowing her eyes.

"Nothing Yaara. Chal chaltein hain."

"But.." she was utterly bewildered on seeing him walk away abruptly.

Same day

He is seen wearing a crisp white shirt and a helmet on his head. His one foot is inside a small depression and he is looking intently at it. The other is on the ground. There are loud sounds of machines drilling, hammers working, people shouting. The mid-day sun is hovering high above the ground providing its direct rays on the people who, as a result, are sweating profusely! He says something to the engineer and opens his helmet to walk into his lavish office. He settles down on his chair, loosens his shirt and switches on the fan and after waiting for sometime switches on the AC. He passes into a blissful nap which is disturbed by the incessant ringing of his phone. He is visibly disturbed and raises his eyebrows and finally leans forward to take the call. "Hello" grudging and sleepy.

"Where the hell are you Akshay??I have been constantly ringing you for about 2 hours."Madhvis' angry voice loomed.

"Nothing Mom, just the usual site business." (tired)

"Aww my poor baby. Don't worry life will not be the same anymore for you-dull boring and lacklustre. Something interesting will happen soon. Anyway you gotta get home soon today."

"Ya ..but..Mom" he tried to fathom but she had already disconnected.

"I wonder what Mom is up to." (totally clueless)
