~CHAPTER 14~

Natasha walked into the Khandelwal home, feeling good that she had made up with Shan; she wanted to tell Abhi all about it. He had helped her so much; he had held her and listened to her gibberish about her insecurities relating to Khanak and Shan. He had advised her to go with her heart, she smiled thinking about that night in the library... she had acted so paranoid, so ... jealous, she didn't know why but when Abhi had called out for Khanak, she had felt more anger than when she had seen Shan hugging Khanak, it had felt wrong...

She started climbing the stairs when she heard noises coming from the kitchen, she went to see what was all the ruckus about.

'Khanak tum bhi na!'

She heard Abhi's voice, she peeped inside the kitchen and called out his name, 'Abhi...'

Abhi turned towards her and so did two white faces, 'AHH!! Yeh kaun hai!?'

All three of them started laughing. 'meine kaha tha na tum dono ko, aate ko underestimate maat karoo, aur jaakar apne aap ko saaf karlo...' said Abhi laughing throughout, he then turned to Natasha, 'tashu darne ki zaroorat nahi hai, yeh tumhara Shan aur meri Khanak hai...'

Both Shan and Tashu looked at Abhi, their eyebrows raised, while Khanak just laughed.

'arrey mera matlab hai , meri dost Khanak...' he sighed , ' tum dono bhi na bilkul perverted ho, chote se sentence ka kya kya matlaab nikalte rehte ho yaar! Wild imaginations!'

Shan and Tashu laughed at Abhi's comment.

'aap teeno yahan baatein kijiye mein chali nahane...'

Natasha looked at Khanak, and smiled, she didn't hate Khanak, in fact she found her sweet and innocent, she just felt jealous of her sometimes after all she was Shan's wife, a position she had wanted since ever. 'hmm.. tum jao, mein khana Hari se banwa loongi...'

Khanak smiled and went away...

Shan followed her as he needed a bath to, he asked Abhi if he could use his shower and Abhi let him.

'see wasn't so difficult was it?'

Tashu turned to him, 'kya?'

'Khanak se baatein karna? Polite hona?'

Tashu had a shocked look on her face, 'meine Khanak se burri tarah kaab baat ki?! In fact minus the she is married to my boyfriend part, I think she is really nice... and ... you think the same right?'

She felt a little jealous when she said it, she didn't know why but she hoped that he will deny 'really' liking Khanak, she hoped he would say Khanak was just nice, sweet , likable, but nothing as special as her. She felt weird... she had never in her life hoped for something like this, whenever Abhi and she had talked about his countless girlfriends over the years... something was happening to her and she didn't know what...

Abhi smiled, 'hmm... Khanak is the sweetest thing ever! I love her yaar!'

Natasha felt like her stomach had just fallen out of her body, even though she tried smiling, she still had a sinking feeling.

'Natasha you okay?'

'hmm? Ya.... ya I'm... fine.' She smiled.

'okay, anyway Natasha I have to run now mujhe kuch saaman car se lana hai.' He got down from the kitchen slab and went towards Natasha and kissed her on the cheek before walking out...

Leaving behind a stunned Natasha, her cheek burned on the spot he had kissed, and she was pretty sure she had started to turn red like a tomato. She brought her hand to her cheek, and smiled, she didn't know what was happening to her, she had been kissed by Abhi so many times, then why today she couldn't stop smiling?

'mein pagal ho rahi hoon!'

She went to her room... still smiling.

::::

Shan came out of Abhi's shower and wiped his head, he was shirtless because his shirt had fallen on the floor and had gotten wet. He fumbled around with Abhi's shirts, after all he couldn't wander around half- naked, and he knew Abhi won't mind. But all of Abhi's clothes in the cupboard were either dirty or smelly.

'yuck! Yeh ladka apne kapade dhone kyun nahi deta!'

He looked around, trying to find one decent shirt, but the only other suitcase holding clothes was locked, he tried calling out for Abhi but with no luck.

'damn! Ab kamre mein aise hi jaana padhega!' he wrapped the towel around his neck and started walking towards his room.

Khanak ke liye kuch karna chahiye, he thought to himself, she helped me so much, agar woh nahi hoti toh presentation itna achcha nahi jaata...

'par kya karoo? Candle light dinner? Hmm... no Khanak candle light dinner type hai nahi.' He smiled remembering Abhi's desi girl and city girl lecture. He shook his head, ' I have to do something really nice for her, something meaningful. That would make her face light up, just like the time she had "chocolte phudge" .' he smiled to himself remembering that time in the restaurant.

He turned and saw his room, 'pehle dekh leta hoon Khanak toh nahi hai, woh mujhe aise dekhegi toh faint hi ho gayegi!'

He peered inside the room, the coast was clean, and so he walked inside.

He went straight to his cupboard and started fishing for a shirt.

::::

Khanak fixed her pallu and looked at the bathroom mirror; she smiled as she recalled Shantanu and her running around the house like children. After Suraj's death it had felt like she had also died inside, like all the happiness in the world had been taken away, like she had been cast into eternal darkness. She had never in a million years thought that she would be able laugh again, that she would enjoy life again! And it had been made possible by Shantanu Khandelwal...the Shantanu Khandelwal... she smiled remembering her moments with Shantanu, they had seen their fair share of ups and downs, but she never would have thought that he would become her close friend... She had never thought Shantanu would bring her back to life...

She turned around and opened the bathroom door, and she had not expected to see what she saw... a shirtless Shantanu in front of the cupboard... her first instinct was to shut her eyes then shut the door, she didn't bang it ... she didn't want Shantanu to know she had seen him...

She shut her eyes tight, but the image of Shantanu didn't go from her mind, it felt like it had been engraved in her mind ... And no matter how much she shaked her head, that image would not slip away. Her breath quickened, as she pictured Shantanu, his chiselled back and his strong arms... She felt herself turn hot, just like the way it had felt in the kitchen...

She felt conflicted, she wanted a glimpse of him, but she also felt ashamed to witness Shantanu... The way he was, she wanted to erase that image from her mind but she also wanted to...

'mein yeh kya sooch rahi hoon! Mein unhe aise nahi dekhna chahati!'

But her body defied her words, her heart raced, she just wanted to see another glimpse of him, but she stopped herself.

She heard a door closing. 'woh chale gaye...'

She slowly opened the door of the bathroom and saw him again; he was in front of the mirror still shirtless spraying something on his body, something he always smelled of. She inhaled, his distinct smell flooding her senses, she couldn't revert her eyes from him, her breath came in short gasps and she felt even hotter than what she had ever felt, like she was on fire.

She had never seen anyone like this before, it did something to her and she didn't know what, but she knew one thing that she didn't want this to end... she felt herself blushing, a shy smile spreading across her innocent face. She looked down, tried looking at anything or anywhere other than him, but no matter what she did her eyes went back to him, her eyes travelling across his body, travelling up to his face, which had a playful smile on it.

She closed the door and leaned against the door, trying to calm her maddening senses.

'Khanak?'

She got scared, 'unhone mujhe dekh toh nahi liya?! She quickly moved away from the door, and in the process she accidently cut her back.

'AH!'

She tried touching the spot on her back which was cut, but she couldn't reach it, but she felt blood dripping down her back.

'Khanak! Kya hua?'

She heard his concerned voice, 'kuch.... nahi...' she tried to keep the pain away from her voice, but she was unsuccessful.

'jhoot maat bolo,' Shantanu walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked violently. He was worried for her, the way she had shouted, he knew she was hurt. The door was unlocked so it just flew open. And he saw Khanak , tears flowing down her cheeks, trying to touch something on her back. He saw the reflection of her back on the mirror, and he saw the gash on her back and the blood that was oozing out of it.

'Khanak! Kya kuch nahi! Tumhara khoon beh raha hai!'

He turned her around. And touched her back, 'tumhe lagi kaise?!'

'woh... Ah!... Shantanu chooiye(touch) mat!'

'arrey choounga (touch) nahi toh kya karoonga! Ab batao lagi kaise?'

'woh darwaza... keel...'

Shan turned around and saw the nail, 'damn mein phir Hari ko isse theek karne ke bare mein batana bhool gaya!'

He turned around to Khanak, ' isse dhona hoga...'

He got some water in a mug and splashed it gently on her back.

'Shantanu! aaram se!'

'isse zayada aaram se mujhse nahi ho sakta! Ab chup chap khadi raho!'

'Shantanu dard aapko nahi ho raha hai! Ah!'

'yeh ladhki bhi na! Paani laga raha hoon toh chila rahi hai, jab medicine lagaonga toh kya hoga?!'

'kya kaha aapne?'

'kuch nahi! Ab bahar chalo! Davai(medicine) lagani hai!'

Shan went to the dresser and opened a drawer and started looking for medicine while Khanak went and nervously stood near the window.

'tum bhi na Khanak, khayal rakhna chiye tumhe! Kafi zoor se chot lagi hai tumhe...'

Khanak wasn't listening, in the bathroom she had been in pain, but now that the pain had reduced... what if she felt all those things she had felt when he would touch her?... light breeze blew in from the window calming her hyped senses a little.

'mil gayi! Aao Khanak laga deta hoon...'

She turned to see Shan still trying to find something from the drawer, 'Uh nahi! Mein khud laga doongi.'

'bewakofoo ki tarah baat mat karo! Tumhara haath chot tak pohoch bhi nahi raha! Bus ek minute rukko, yeh cotton nahi mil rahi...'

'Shantanu...'

'No Khanak, mein davai laga raha hoon bus!'

Khanak turned towards the window trying to figure out what will she do , another breeze blew inside the room calming her a little more.

Shan looked up and saw Khanak standing at the window, the breeze gently brushing her hair away from her face... she looked so serene and beautiful in that moment, more beautiful than he had ever seen her, he couldn't take his eyes off of her... he took a step forward...

She turned her face barely an inch to confirm what she knew; he was coming close to her... She could hear his every step towards her, and with each step her breath quickened. She dreaded his touch, but she also felt... excited , she didn't want him to touch her, secretly fearing what it might do, but she also wanted to be touched by him... she closed her eyes trying to shut all these alien feelings and thoughts from her mind...

Shantanu slowly walked towards her, the light breeze was making her hair play with her delicate face, he felt spellbound by Khanak's innocent face, her eyes were closed and she bit her lips with nervousness, it made his stomach flutter uncontrollably. Butterflies?! No! Shantanu ajeeb baatein soochna bandkar! Aur Khanak ko medicine laga...

She opened her eyes and bit her lower lip as she felt him stand close by her, she could feel his body's heat radiate to her body, and the heat sent shivers down her spine. Yeh mujhe kya hogaya hai? Garam lag raha hai, aur saath hi kaap rahi hoon! She felt weak in the knees like she was suddenly incapable of standing on her own feet... but she managed to stand there anticipating his touch... the hairs on her neck standing...

Shan looked at Khanak, his eyes suddenly felt heavy, and he knew that he had his most seductive look on his face. He kept looking at her beautiful black hair, suddenly feeling the urge to touch them, feel them in his hand... after what seemed like a full minute he came out of the spell, Focus Shan! He thought to himself, focus!

He brought his hand to her hair and slowly brushed them aside, accidently touching her neck in the process...

Khanak took a deep breath in as she felt him move, and an even deeper breath as he moved her hair, his finger softly, like feathers brushing across her neck... her knees gave in and she held the chair that was in front of her, as she gasped softly.

Shan felt his breath quicken as he saw her back, the delicate smooth skin, which he had always had had a glimpse of without feeling a thing, had him speechless... his eyes moved from her neck, travelling across the delicate curve of her neck to her feminine shoulders, to her back, slowly, desperately taking in all that his eyes had in front of him. His eyes travelled to the cluster of moles she had on her back, just before the awful gash, he smiled as he was reminded was of the stars in the sky... a strand hair fell on her back and swayed rhythmically, he brushed it away, in the process drawing a curve across her back with his finger...

Khanak couldn't breathe, he was looking at her, his eyes were roaming on her back, and the thought of it excited her leaps and bounds, and then he had done the one thing she had wanted and dreaded the most, he touched her. She closed her eyes, and she was unable to resist the urge to sigh with delight... her skin burned where he touched her with his finger, sending all her thoughts out of her brain... she couldn't think of anything other than being in that moment... she didn't know what was happening to her, she didn't know what could happen, all she knew that she felt more alive than she had ever, all she knew that his touch did things to her, things she didn't know...

'zayaada dard ho toh bata dena...'

All she could manage was a nod and a, 'hmm...'

He took the antiseptic on the cotton and gently, as gently as he could , he pressed it against her wound.

She gasped loudly; he knew it would have hurt, so bent down a little and gently blew on her wound, trying to ease her pain. But the way she arched her back a little as a result, made the hair on his neck and hands stand with excitement.

Her eyes were shut, and her lips red because of her nervously biting them, she needed support of a chair to stand, and with every passing minute breathing was becoming more difficult for her in reaction to Shantanu touching her, she thought nothing more was possible, until he blew on her wound gently. Her mouth fell open slightly, and she was breathing through it when he blew the first time, and the second time, she unknowingly arched her back a little, this was too much for her...

'zayaada dard toh nahi hai na?'

She tried to say something ... no words came out.

'sorry agar zayaada dard ho raha hai...'

'n...nahi zayaada dard nahi hai...'

'bus ek aur minute lage ga...'

She didn't know if she felt relief that after a minute she would probably be able start breathing again, or was she disappointed?

Shan gently cleaned her wound and after the last stroke he stood up properly... he saw the delicate curve of her neck again, and he suddenly felt an urge to slowly, tantalisingly, playfully move his finger on the curve of her neck... he wanted to see her reaction, would she step away, or would she gasp, sigh or react in any manner... he couldn't help but wonder- is she as spell bound in this moment as I am? Was she as breathless as I am? Was she blushing like I know I am?

They stood so close, she was so close... he unknowingly bent down, his lips getting closer to her neck.

She could feel him come closer, she could smell his distinct scent, and it flooded her senses, making her completely unable think straight. She could feel his breath on her neck...

The wind grew stronger and the window banged as heavy rain started to pour down from the heavens.

The two of them came back to their senses, and stepped away from one another...

'uh... meine davai laga di... doctor ke paas kal challenge...'

'hmm...'

'hey guys!' Abhi entered their room without knocking, 'tum log kitna time laga rahe ho!'

Shan looked at Abhi, 'haan woh actually... Khanak ko chot lag gayi thi, medicine laga raha tha...'

'Kya! Kahan?'

'back par.'

'dikhao...' Abhi went to Khanak and turned her a little to see her wound, he slowly brushed his finger near the wound.

Shan felt like punching him, but he instead just clenched his jaw...

'zayaaada zor se toh nahi lagi hai...'

'zayada zor se nahi!' Khanak turned around to see Abhi. 'dard jisse hota hai usse pata hota hai kitni zoor se lagi hai...'

'Achcha baba... kafi zor se lagi hai...bus!'

Khanak smiled and nodded

Shan clenched his jaw tighter, as he saw both Abhi and Khanak laughing...

His phone ringed, it was Tashu, 'haan Tashu....haan mein abhi aata hoon...' he eyed Abhoi and Khanak one last time as he put on his slippers and went to Natasha's room.

Khanak eyed Shan as he went out of their room talking to Natashaji, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed... thoigh she didn't know why...
