'hmm... akhir choose kisne kiya hai?'

Natasha smiled, 'tumhe yaad raha ki mujhe paintings bahut pasand hai?'

'nahi, woh mein Hari ke liye laya tha. Usse pasand nahi aaya toh...'

Tashu threw a pillow his way, 'Abhi!'

'Tashu! Lag jati mujhe!'

'tum itne delicate ho ki tumhe ek choti si pillow se lag jati?'

'kyun mard ko dard nahi ho sakta!?'

'tum mard ho?'

'hahaha so funny, tumhe evidence chahiye?'

'uh... nahi mujhe tum par yakeen hai... aur agar tumhe yakeen hai ke tum mard ho then I believe you.' Natasha started to laugh.

'lagta hai tumhe evidence dena padega.' He started unbuttoning his shirt.

'Abhi no main...main mazaak kar rahi thi, tumhe strip karne ki zaroorat nahi hai!'

'nahi, nahi tumhe yakeen nahi tha na...' he started walking towards her.

'Abhi stop it!' said Tashu, laughter in her voice.

'nahi aao mein tumhe dikhata hoon...'

'Abhi door raho!' she broke into laughter and ran out the room

' oi tashu ki bachchi ruk!' Abhi ran after her.

'tum dono yeh kya kar rahe ho?'

'di! Abhi ko kaho ke mujhe evidence nahi chahiye!' she ran around Khushboo with Abhi behind her.

'Evidence?' Khushboo asked.

'Khushboo isse kaho ke main evidence dekar rahoonga!' he reached out for her but missed her by an inch.

' Abhi tum mujhe nahi pakad paoge!'

'hey! Don't bet on it, main track team ka captain tha!'

'tha... par ab nahi ho, tum budhe ho gaye ho Abhi.'

'main terko nahi chodne wala Tashu.'

'tum dono bacho ki tarah mere aage peeche bhagna band karoge!'

'no.' They said in unison. And Tashu then ran away towards the terrace.

'koi mujhe batayega kya ho raha hai?'

'baad mein, Abhi i have to get hold of your sister and torture her...' Abhi ran after Tashu.

Khushboo smiled, 'yeh dono bhi na... bachcho ki tarah ladte hai...', but it's so nice to see Tashu smile and have fun, she thought to herself. ' Aur yeh kaam Abhi ke alawa aur koi nahi kar sakta tha, he always knew how to make Tashu smile.'

'Tashu... Tashu ...' he looked around trying to find Natasha, 'yahi aayi thi... gayi kaha?'

He heard the sound of muffled laughter; he looked around again and saw her behind one of the chairs, hiding, unsuccessfully.

He closed the terrace door and slowly and quietly walked towards her with a devilish smile, when he reached her he shouted 'TASHU!'

She was startled and fell because of the surprise. She looked up at Abhi who was leaning on the chair that she was hiding behind.

Abhi laughed, 'kya tumhe lagta hai ki tum invisible ho jo main tumhe yahan dekh nahi pata?'

'nahi mujhe laga ke tum stupid ho issliye mujhe dhoond nahi paonge!' she said smiling, as she got up .

They both smiled at each other. 'achcha sunno.'

'yahan Abhi bolo.' Said Tashu, as she dusted her salwar.

'main Delhi jaa raha hoon.'

She looked at him disappointment flooding her, Abhi was her friend, her support base and the only person she could talk to about Khanak and Shan without feeling like a total idiot, him not being here, the mere thought made her feel – lost.

'kyun?'

'Maa, she is saying she is unwell, but I won't be surprised if she just wants to meet me, and is thus lying, or exaggerating a case of acidity.'

Tashu smiled at his acidity comment, 'woh tumhari mom hai Abhi, she...'

'she should have thought about it when she missed my birthdays, and my school functions and my graduation, and ...'

'i know she missed a lot of things, but if she wants to catch up now then what is the harm?'

'the harm is that I have to leave work, this house, uncle aunty, bro and Khushboo, Shantanu, you...' he looked up and held her hand.

She smiled, he minds leaving me, she thought, wait what is wrong with me! She gathered her thoughts.

She looked at him, he continued saying, 'and Khanak, especially Khanak...'

Natasha looked at him, but her thoughts were far away, his words echoing in her mind, "especially Khanak" what did he mean by that? Why would he especially miss Khanak? Why wouldn't he especially miss me? She gathered her thought and finally asked, 'especially Khanak?' she said in a casual voice, as casual as she could manage.

'haan, hum dono ache dost hai, and mere, dadi aur Shan ke alawa she has no one to talk to her and...,' he sighed, and childishly stamped his foot, ' ...uske jaise shrikhand koi aur nahi bana sakta! Mujhe uske haath ka khana Delhi mein kaha milega Tashu...'

Natasha laughed, 'tum hamesh apne stomach se soochte ho na?'

Abhi smiles, 'always.'

'tum Shan ko kaise bataoge? Tum dono itne saal baad mile aur kuch hi din hue hai, aur tum wapas jaa rahe ho.'

' hmm... that's what I'm dreading the most! I love Shan , I really do but not melodramatic Shan!'

'need my help?'

'desperately!'

They smiled and tried coming with an idea... unsuccessfully

::::

'Shantanu hilo maat!'

'Khanak yaar, mein aise kaab tak betha raho?'

'bus kuch minute aur...'

'tumne "kuch minute aur" ek ghante pehle bola tha! Khanak yaar mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai!'

' "mujhe banao" bolne se pehle sochna chaiye tha!'

' arrey mujhe kya pata tha ki tum itni dheere draw karogi!'

'Shantanu bacho ki tarah roiye maat! Main sach keh rahi hoon bus teen minute aur...'

'main bacho ki tarah nahi ro raha! Koi bachca hota na toh yahan bethta bhi nahi!'

'mein ek bache ko laon? Wo apse zayaada der tak bethega aur itna chilaega bhi nahi!'

'woh toh theek hai Khanak, par tum yahan bethogi toh tum chitr kaise banaogi?'

'mujhe hasi nahi aayi!'

'woh issliye ke sach kadva hota hai.'

'Shantanu...'

'kya chal raha hai?'

Abhi entered the room. Khanak looked at him and smiled, 'Shantanu mere liye chirtkari ka saaman laye... aur ab main unka chitr bana rahi hoon, aur woh ro rahe hai..'

'main ro nahi raha...'

'Shan tera rona mujhe hall mein bhi sunai de raha tha... "Khanak yaar mujhe bahut dard ho raha hai!"', Abhi imitated Shan.

Shan looked at Abhi, 'tu yahan do ghante beth phir kuch kehna.'

Abhi didn't reply as he walked towards the canvas, 'wow, maine kabhi realise nahi kiya ki Shan ki nak tedi hai.'

'oi! Meri naak tedi nahi hai!'

Abhi and Khanak ignored him, ' hmm...' nodded Khanak, 'aur inke hooth patle hai...'

'aur maatha itna bada!'

'tum log kya keh rahe ho! Main perfect hoon!'

'shh Shan, hum baat kar rahe hai...'Said Abhi, looking at Shan's portrait with great concentration.

'MERE BAARE MAIN BAAT KAR RAHE HO!'

'Khanak tumhe nahi lagta...'

Shan stood up, too irritated by Abhi and Khanak ignoring him and walked to his portrait, 'tum dono...' he stopped talking as he saw his portrait, he was speechless, he couldn't believe what was in front of him, it was like looking at a mirror, the portrait was life like, like someone had clicked a picture.

'... meri taang kheech rahe ho...'

Khanak and Abhi laughed.

'Khanak this ... yeh bahut achchi hai!'

Abhi nodded, 'I agree, tum bahut achchi drwing karti ho Khanak...'

Khanak smiled, 'thunku, thunku...'

Shan smiled and didn't correct her, he didn't want to correct her and spoil the moment.

He kept looking at her, her smiling face, as she talked to Abhi; he felt a smile spread across his face looking at her, she looked confident, chirpy and happy, like he remembered her from before the Suraj fiasco. He had thought that that Khanak was lost to him, he had thought she would never come back and all because of his mistake. And now he felt happy as he realised that the old Khanak was coming back... that Khanak's wounds were healing, and it made him happier that he had a role in her healing process... he felt a fuzzy happiness spread across his body. So this is what it feels like... helping a loved one, he thought to himself, loved one? He looked back at Khanak, and smiled, definitely a loved one...

'Wow!'

The trio turned and saw Natasha standing with her mouth slightly opened, 'this...' she pointed at the portrait, 'is... amazing, kisne banaya?'

Abhi put his hand across Khanak's shoulder, 'Khanak ne.'

Khanak smiled, Natasha looked at her and smiled back, 'sach?'

Khanak nodded.

'Wow Khanak, tum bahut achchi drawing karti ho, this is ... Sach mein bahut bahut bahut achchi hai yeh painting.'

'thunku.'

Natasha smiled at Khanak, 'tumhe aur banana chahiye...'

'haan Khanak tumhe aur banana chahiye!' said Shan smiling at Khanak.

'aur humme Khanak ki chitkari ko celebrate karna chahiye.'

'good idea Abhi!Aaj aur kal mein thoda busy hoon, but Tuesday ko hum charo ko kahi jaana chahiye!'

Natasha and Khanak looked at Abhi, who stood there not knowing how to break the news to his friend that he was going to go...

'aapko Shantanu ko bata dena chaiye...' said Khanak.

'I agree with Khanak Abhi, tumhe bata dena chaiye.'

'kya bata dena chahiye?' Shan looked at the three of them with a confused look on his face, 'Abhi?'

Abhi swallowed and spilled the beans, 'mujhe delhi jaana hai, Tuesday morning ki flight hai, mom supposedly beemar hai, mujhe nahi pata kitna time lagega... I'm sorry par mein wapas aaonga!'

'ya right peechli baar tu delhi gaya tha, you said the same thing but then you ran off to London after that!'

'I know, but this time I will come back Shan...'

Shan turned and walked towards the window, 'fine jaa.'

Abhi smiled, 'Shan ...'

'meine kaha na jaa...' he shrugged.

'I won't go if you are not fine with it, Shan tu mere bhai jaisa hai, and you have been there for me more than mom, I can say no to her, but not to you, so if ...'

Shan turned, he made a pout and said in a childish manner, 'tusi jaa rahe ho... tusi na jao', Shan smiled, 'tu mujhse yeh expect kar raha hai?'

Abhi smiled.

'Abhi go see your mom, but if it gets too tensed then come back, and come back home, to Mumbai, aur yeh tera ghar hai, agar tu wapas London bhaga na, toh main tujhe London se haath pakad kar wapas laonga!'

Abhi smiled, 'As you wish Sir.'

They both smiled and hugged, and seeing them Khanak and Tashu smiled to.

'toh ab mujhe aaj ki meeting cancel karni padegi...'

'kyun?'

'kyun kya? Aaj toh double celebration hai, Khanak ki chitrkari, aur tera departure.'

Natasha smiled, 'I agree.'

'par main nahi aa sakti...'

'Khanak tumhe aana padega.' Abhi walked towards her.

'paar Abhi...'

'no par war... main do(two) din mein jaa raha hoon, aur tum mere liye itna nahi kar sakti!', Abhi then in a melodramatic way put his hand on his forehead, 'yehi thi tumhari dosti!'

Khanak smiled, ' theek hai sirf aap ke liye...'

Abhi smiled and then touched the tip of her nose with his finger, in a flirtatious way, 'thanks.'

Shan and Natasha looked at their conversation and both felt weird, and a slight burning sensation in their bellies.

Abhi looked up, 'this is going to be fun...'
