~CHAPTER 11~
Shan sighed in frustration, as he sat on his bed, 'yaar ! yeh ladki bhi na! Kya zaroorat thi usse...'
He recalled his fight with Tashu; he had been so mad and frustrated with her for being angry with him on a stupid reason as hugging a crying Khanak! He had wanted to talk to someone, and he had assumed that Abhi must be already out of the house for his work...after all no one had come yet to trouble, irritate or simple screw around with him. He had for some reason then started seeking out Khanak, he had felt that she was a person who would be able to help him. Or at least he would be able to talk to her. He had gone to the terrace, he had a feeling she would be there and indeed she was, but he wasn't prepared to find her the way he did... in Abhi's arms.
He had felt angry and betrayed, he just did not like seeing them together, Abhi giving her a hug to calm her down... and she had been crying, he could tell with the way her shoulders were drooped, even though her hair covered her face from him, and even though he was at a distance he just knew Khanak was upset. And that made him upset, he wanted to be the one consoling her, he had done that, and fantastically so, just yesterday night! It felt like a betrayal to him... that now she would go to Abhi and not come to him.
'kya baat ho sakti hai jo woh Abhi se kar sakti hai aur mujhse nahi?'
He thought of last night... how he had been there for her, how he had helped her. How he had made her feel better, their time on the beach, in the restaurant, they had had so much fun. After a long time Shan had had so much fun... he had gone out with Natasha many times since Dhulwadi, but lately things just didn't seem the same with her. They weren't like they used to be, he could no longer freely say whatever he felt. He had felt unexpected comfort with Khanak, an somehow after knowing that she felt the same made him feel good... but then she felt the same , perhaps more comfortable with Abhi, and it stung for some reason...
He recalled how Khanak and Abhi had laughed and spent time together, almost an hour... he thought to himself... 'ek ghante se kya baat kar rahe honge!'
He shook his head, 'Natasha ka kuch zayaada hi asar ho gaya hai mujh par! Main itna possessive kyun ho raha hoon? Khanak ne mujhe likh kar thodi na diya tha, ke Shan ab se mujhe koi bhi problem ho mein aap ke paas aaongi...'
He tried to stop thinking about Khanak and Abhi and turned to his desk and switched on his laptop. He started working on his presentation. But it still stung...
::::
Khanak looked at the kitchen clock for the tenth time in the last five minutes, she then turned her face to the kitchen door, 'yeh Hari bha itna waqt kyun laga rahe hai?' She sighed and went back to her work. But she couldn't really concentrate in cutting onions for the evening meal. She hadn't forgotten about the dream, it still kept replaying in the back of her mind somewhere, but she didn't have time to think about, she had a bit more important matters at hand, like Shantanu not eating his food. He had not come out of his room since hours, and when she had sent lunch, he had sent it back, untouched. She still hadn't mustered courage to go to their room and see what he was doing that was so important that he couldn't take time out to eat food! She had sent Hari bha, first with lunch, then tea and sandwiches, and then just tea but all had been returned, untouched and still hot, he had not even allowed hair bha it keep the food down before returning it. She doubted he even knew what all had been sent to him. At first she had been concerned, but now she was downright irritated.
'Sahab ne phir khana wapas bhej diya...'
Khanak looked up and saw Hari bha with the plate full of pakodas that she had made for snacks, as expected it was untouched. Her irritation gave way to anger.
'mein itni mehnat se Khana bana rahi hoon aur...'
She walked to Hari and took to tray, 'Aap sabzi kaat deejiye, phir dadaiji ko bula lena, woh keh rahi thi ke woh Ada ke liye unka man pasand khana banana chahati hai.'
She didn't wait for Hari's reply and walked towards the stair case and started climbing the stairs to her and Shantanu's room. The fear and apprehension of facing him had been temporarily forgotten, the only thing remained was concern and irritation with a dash of anger from seeing her efforts going waste, or in this case uneaten...
'Burdhal! Itni mehnat se khana banao aur khate bhi nahi...' she murmured to herself.
::::
He threw his head back and closed his eyes, he mentally went through the list of people who could have helped him, but either they were busy or angry with him so the exercise was fruitless. He opened his eyes and started talking to himself in frustration. 'Natasha se bhi aaj hi ladai honi thi! Woh help kardeti! Aur bhaiyya! Unhe toh mein chodoonga nahi!'
He put his legs up on the table, ' yeh Khanak bhi na! Usski wajah se meine office join kiya... kya zaroorat thi usse kehne ki, "mein aapke Ada aur bha ke paise maang rahi hoon..." yaar ... woh nahi hoti na toh mein aaram se zindagi ji raha hota, no office, no files, no meetings...'
He then thought about a previous presentation, for which he had received praise, especially the proud look on his father's face when he had told him that the investors were ready on investing...
'par... agar Khanak nahi hoti toh dad mujhse itna proud bhi nahi hote...'
He closed his eyes and recalled her, their first meeting, their cute fight over the red bangles both of them had liked... last night... her serene face, and how close she was...
He heard someone putting something on the table, he sighed in irritation, 'Hari meine kaha na mujhe kuch nahi khana!'
'par aapko khana hoga!'
He opened his eyes and put his legs down, 'Khanak tum!'
Khanak made an irritated face, 'nahi... aapke samne mera bhoot khada hai!'
'bhoot? Tumhe aur kuch kehne ko nahi mila...'
'aur aapko koi aur sawal nahi mila!? Tum! Ab mein nahi toh aur kaun?'
'Khanak mujhe khana nahi khana!'
' Apko nahi khana par mujhe khilana hai... toh aap khud khate hai yaa mein aapko zabardasti khilaon?'
Shan looked at her and smiled, she is as stubborn as me, he thought. ' mein khaoonga nahi, aur tum mujhe khilaogi nahi... issliye tum yeh plate le jao.'
' Aap kyun nahi khanenge? Aur aapko kyun lagta hai ki mein aapko nahi khilaongi?'
'mein nahi khaonga kyunki mujhe bhook nahi hai... aur tum me itni bhi himmat nahi ke tum mujhe khilao...'
Khanak raised her brow; she knew he was lying about not being hungry, he hadn't eaten anything since morning, and she couldn't have missed his growling stomach even if she were deaf, not to mention his drooling face when he saw pakodas in front of him, which he unsuccessfully tried to hide, by trying to look everywhere except the plate in front of him.
Shan looked at the pakodas in front of him, their sweet smell luring him to break his resolve of not eating anything to irritate Khanak. The tea was hot and tempting, though not as much as the delectable looking pakodas... there was slight drizzle outside the window... perfect weather for having what was in front of him... Khanak irritated toh lag rahi hai... he thought to himself... nahi! Mein nahi khaonga! He looked at the plate again , sirf ek? ... no! Shan control... plate ki taraf maat dekh! Kahi bhi dekh... Khanak ko dekh... bus plate ko maat dekh!
He looked at her, hands on her hip, one eyebrow raised and a hint of a smile... she looked perfect, especially in the blue sari she was wearing.
'toh aapko lagta hai mein aapko nahi khila sakti...'
'kha...'
She quickly took a pakoda and stuffed it in his mouth and kept her hand there until the whole thing was in his mouth...
'khaanaak.. tum...kya...'
He didn't struggle as he could no longer ignore his stomach's growls, not to mention the pakodas were fantastic. Which was not much of a surprise, whatever Khanak made was fantastic.
Khanak laughed, 'abse mujhe kabhi maat kehna ki mein kuch kar nahi sakti...'
She sat next to him and offered him another, when he didn't take it quickly enough she took it herself and fed him.
'hmm... Khanak yeh... pakode... mind blowing hai! Shan exclaimed in between bites.
'pata hai... ab muh band aur khana khaiye...' she handed him the plate.
He took the plate - his resolve broken and forgotten-and gobbled all of them down in just few minutes.
Khanak smiled as she saw Shantanu eat like a baby, he looked up, 'aur hai?' he asked. She smiled, 'do(two) minute mein layi.'
He took a sip of the tea as she walked out of the room, his mobile rang.
'haan bhai...'
'Shan mere paas zayada waqt nahi hai, tum batao ki presentation ki preparation kaise chal rahi hai?'
'haan woh...'
'Shan a lot is dependent on you and this presentation, I know tu pehli baar akele presentation bana raha hai.. par you have to do a good job... sun those guys are coming back i have to go, best of luck!'
'bhai...'
Shan looked at his phone, 'best of luck! Khak best of luck! Tension dekar best of luck keh rahe hai... isse toh phone hi nahi karte!...'
He kept his phone on the table and after wiping his hands he went back to typing on his laptop.
He kept looking at the door hoping to see Khanak, she had said two minutes but she took at least thirty to get back...
'maaf karna, woh pakode Hari bha ne dadi ko bhej diye the, mujhe doobara banana padhe...'
She sat next to him, he looked at the plate, 'Palak ke pakode! My favourite... yum!' he stopped himself before he touched them and looked at her. She had a quizzical look on her face.
'mere manpasand hai palak ke pakode...'
Khanak smiled, ' sach!? Mere bhi! Dhulwadi mein jab bhi Bai banati thi na... mein sab kha jati thi... bai itni naraaz hoti thi! Uff pooch maat! mein kissi ke liye ek bhi nahi bachati thi ! woh mere peeche gussa karne ke liye poore ghar mein bhagti... phir Ada aate aur mujhe bacha lete the!...' she smiled recalling her childhood and he smiled seeing her smile.
' Khanak tum bhi khao na?'
Khanak smiled and took a bite from one of them, ' hmm... aap bhi khao...'
'tum khila do...'
'kyun?'
'kaam kar raha hoon, khud nahi kha sakta...'
Khanak smiled and took one and put it in his mouth.
They both finished the entire plate, all the while talking and telling stories of their childhood, well... Khanak mostly spoke and Shan listened, while he continued working on the presentation from time to time.
' aap kya kar rahe hai?'
' presentation bana raha hoon, kal kuch logon ko dikhana hai...' Shan sighed.
'kya hua? Mushkil hai?'
'hmm...', he nodded, 'bahut... pehli baar akele kar raha hoon...'
'yeh toh achchi baat hai...'
'kyun?'
'Shantanu! Aapke Bha aur Ada ne aap par yakeen karke aapko itni badi zimmedari(responsibility) di.. woh aap par poora vishwas karte hai iss liye... aapko toh garv hona chahiye...'
He smiled, he hadn't thought of it that way, it somehow made him feel more confident and happy about the situation he was in. 'haan par... presentation toh purra ho gaya hai.. par.. kuch kami hai...'
'kami.?'
'hmm... mein unhe sab samjha doonga... par unhe kaise samjhaon ki unhe kyun issi project par aapne paise lagane chahiye... aisi kya baat hai Dhulwadi mein...'
'baas itni si baat!' she smiled, ' aapko Dhulwadi khass lagta hai?'
' haan ... kyun?'
' toh aap unhe batao ki aapko Dhulwadi kyun pasand hai... ki Dhulwadi mein aisa kya hai jo usse sabse alag karta hai... jis par aap ko bharoosa hoga... jisse aapko pyaar hoga, uss hi ke bare aap un logon ko achche sa bata paenge...'
Shan smiled, ' thanks...'
Khanak stood up, and smiled before turning to go... he held her hand
'tumne mujhe nahi baataya ki tum kiss baat par dukhi ho...'
She looked back at him, her mind replaying her dream... 'aa... aapko kaise...'
'meine tumhe aur Abhi ko dekha tha... kya baat hai? Tum mujhe bata sakti ho...'
'shantanu...' , she sat back next to him, she didn't want to say what had happened, she didn't want to confess especially to him... but she looked at him, his concerned eyes staring at her, hoping that she would tell him, his hand gently caressing hers in a caring manner... She suddenly felt confident in him, felt that he will understand, that he might... just might be able to help her.
'meine ek sapna dekha tha... mein nahi bata sakti kya... par mein uski wajah se pareshan thi...'
Shan smiled reassuringly, ' Khanak, ek sapna hi toh tha... humme ajeeb ajeeb sapne aate hai.. par kayi baar unka koi matlaab nahi hota. Uske bare mein sochna aur uski wajah se pareshan hone ki zaroorat nahi. Usse bhool jao, aakhir usse baar baar yaad karke kuch hasil toh nahi hoga na?'
Khanak smiled, and nodded, he was right, she thought, it was just a silly dream, she had seen what she had seen probably because of the way Shan had helped her, just like Suraj used too, and nothing more... right?
'good. Ab tum meri madat karogi...'
'mein! Mein kya madat kar sakti hoon?'
'Dhulwadi mein kya kitna khaas he tumse zayaada kaun jaan sakta hai?'
'Shantanu...'
'please... please Khanak sirf iss baar... please...' he folded his hands in front of her.'
She smiled, 'theek hai...'
She got up, ' arre tum kahan jaa rahi ho?'
'Shantanu! Hari bha ko batane jaa raho hoo ke humara khana upar bhej dena, aur ki baki ke parivaar ko bata de ki hum kuch kaam kar rahe hai...'
'theek hai...par jaldi aana, aur agar tumne zayaada waqt lagaya na toh mein neche aakar tumhe aapne haatho mein uthakar upar laonga...' he smiled wickedly.
'Shantanu!' she smiled back at him.
She came back with two minutes this time and they stared working, Shan explained everything to her, and she then she helped him make the presentation more human, more enrapturing. Hari got them food, and they ate it all the while talking and joking with one another. It took hours but it was finally complete.
'yes! It's perfect all thanks to you kha...' he looked at her and smiled, she had fallen asleep.
He kept looking at her, again getting mesmerized by her innocence like he had last night. She moved a bit and rested her head on his shoulders. He yawned himself, he hadn't realised just how sleepy he really was till then, and he had after all slept only for a few hours in the morning...
He closed his laptop and kept it next to him, not daring to make sudden movements, afraid that he might wake her up. He then closed his own eyes and put his head back. Making a presentation had never been quite so much fun as it had been today, he thought to himself before falling into deep slumber himself...
