~CHAPTER 17~

Khanak saw the dancing couples as they twirled around the dance floor, moving to the soft music, Abhi looked at her and smiled at her as he danced with Khushboo bhabhi. She smiled back at him. She was standing in the corner, smiling and admiring the dancers, hoping she knew how to dance like them, all she knew was folk dance and she knew if she broke into a garba she will be looked at as if she was a mad woman, not to mention the music was completely wrong for her kind of dancing. She bit her lip slightly as a sigh escaped her lips, she could and would do anything to dance right now.

'Natasha beta please yeh jaldi jaakar udhar rakh do, this is for the GWADs'

Khanak turned to see Natasha and Madhvi; Natasha looked at Madhvi with a confused expression, 'GWADs?'

'Beta GWADs, uff guests who are dieting... abh please jakar rakh do...'

'oh... umm... ok...ay...'

Khanak sighed again; Madhvi and Khushboo had taken it on themselves to arrange a farewell party for Abhi, even though Shantanu and Abhi both wanted to go out, keep it a family affair. But Madhvi and Khushboo were adamant and thus Shantanu and Abhi hadn't stood a chance, they did succumb to Madhvi and Khushboo's wishes, which resulted in this extravagant event. And since it was Madhvi and Khushboo who had planned everything, Khanak had no place in any of the arrangements.

'poochloo ke unhe meri zaroorat toh nahi?' she remembered the last time she had done that, Khushboo bhabhi had simply laughed and walked away, 'nahi... bai bhi mujhpar hasse gi.'

'kaun tumpar hasega?'

A smile spread across Khanak's face, but she suppressed it and replaced it with a fake frown, she turned around, 'aapko ab waqt mila hai mujhse aakar baat karne ka!'

Shan smiled seeing her face, she was frowning but with her innocent features it was ... cute, he felt like pinching her cheeks. 'Sorry baba, woh mom ne itne saare logo ko bula hai, ki sabse milne main, unhe welcome karne main itna time lag hi gaya.'

'aapko pata hai main kitni ekeli mehsoos kar rahi thi! Abhi baat karne aaye toh unhe bhi Khushboo bhabhi ne nachne ke liye pooch liya!'

She turned towards the dance floor and sighed.

Shan saw her expression, it had desperation to dance written all over it. He walked towards her and stood right behind her, 'tum mere saath nachogi?'

Khanak turned around, she was surprised to find him standing close to her, she looked into his eyes, and got lost in their depths.

'Khanak?'

'uh?'

'tum mere saath nachogi?' Shan repeated his question with a smile.

Khanak took a step back, 'uh... ' she shrugged, 'mujhe aise nachna nahi aata...'

'main tumhe sikha doonga...'

Khanak laughed, ' Shantanu, app mujhe sabke saamne sikhayenge?'

'hmm...' Shan nodded.

'Shantanu, mujhe yeh ... iss tarah nachna bilkul bhi nahi aata... aur aap mujhe yahan sabke samne kaise sikhayange?'

'kyun? Kyun nahi sikha sakta?'

'Shantanu aap bhi na kuch nahi samajte!'

'ab iss mein samajhne ki kya baat hai?'

'Shantanu...'

'yeh party party nahi TORTURE HAI!'

Shan and Khanak looked towards the dance floor and saw Abhi coming towards them, dragging his feet.

'terko kya hua?'

'yeh party, aur kya?' he replied Shan in frustration. 'maine kaha tha! Kaha tha aunty ko ke mujhe sirf ek get together chahiye... sirf hum sab ek saath, aur badle mein mujhe mili yeh! Yeh STUPID PARTY!'

Shantanu and Khanak looked at one another, then looked at Abhi.

'uh... Abhi chill man, itna bhi burra nahi hai!'

'burra nahi hai! Yahan par aadhe se zayaada logo ko main aaj se pehle mila bhi nahi hoon Shan! Aur woh meri farewell party main hai!'

Shan gave Abhi a reassuring pat, 'sorry yaar mom thodi overboard chali gayi.'

Abhi sighed, 'thodi? Yeh yeh tujhe thodi lagta hai! aadha Mumbai yahan hai Shan! Mujhe sirf... tum logo ke saath thoda waqt bitana tha, par instead mujhe yeh boisterous paryy aur food for GWADs milla.'

'kya?'

'hmm... aunty ka new abbreviation creation, GWAD, guests who are dieting...'

Shan laughed, 'guests who are dieting!'

Abhi smiled, 'yaar Shan haasna band kar!'

'achca sorry.' He took a deep breath in, 'no haasna.' He burst out laughing again, 'GWADs!'

'umumum...'Khanak cleared her throat, to bring their attention to her.

They both looked at Khanak.

'main kuch kahoon?'

'pooch aise rahi ho jaise humare na kehne par tum kuch nahi bologi!'

She looked at Shantanu, 'baat toh theek hai, toh... main bolti hoon... uh... kyun na hum terrace main mille aur wahan masti kare?'

Abhi smiled, 'Sirf hum dost terrace par... hmm...'

'Aur itni badi party mein humme koi yaad bhi nahi karega...' added Shan.

'good idea Khanak! But khane ka kya kare? Main yeh food for GWADs nahi khane wala.'

Khanak smiled, 'maine aapke liye Shrikhand banaya hai.'

Shan smiled 'that's great!'

'par Natasha ko kaun layega? Hum uss bechri ko akela nahi chodh sakte woh hum dono ko maar dalegi Shan...'

'aisa kar, main aur Khanak Shrikhand, aur jo kuch bhi milega woh khane ke liye late hai, aur tu Tashu ko dhoondh kar la...'

'great idea.'

'good toh terrace main milte hai kuch der main, ab chalo Khanak.'

Khanak and Shantanu went towards the kitchen, and Abhi turned around and tried finding Natasha.

::::

'Abhi hum kahan jaa rahe hai?'

'Tashu chalo toh sahi!'

Abhi had held Tashu by her hand and dragged her out of the party, not giving much information.

'Abhi batao toh sahi hum kaha jaa rahe hai? Aur party...'

'Bus chalte raho ... Aur party ki phikr maat karo humme koi miss nahi karega.'

'Abhi, stop dragging me ... main tumhare saath chalti hoon.'

Abhi gave it a thought, 'no this is more fun. Actually you know what?' he turned abruptly, causing Natasha to crash into him.

'ouch! What?'

He took out his handkerchief, 'blind folding you and taking you would be much, much more fun.'

'don't even think about it!'

'come on Tashu it will be fun, a game, you have to guess where I have taken you.'

Tashu smiled, 'Abhi N-O NO'

'come on Tashu!'

'no Abhi!'

'fine!' he stomped his foot and started walking.

Tashu walked, almost jogged behind him, trying to keep up, as her walking speed she was of no match to his long strides.

'Abhi tum gussa ho gaye?"

'nahi, main gussa kyun hoga?'

'kyunki maine tumhara game khelne se mana kar diya?'

'nahi, mujhe gussa nahi aa raha, thodi irritation but no gussa.'

'okay, toh hum terrace par kyun jaa rahe hai?'

'woh Khanak ne idea diya ke hum terrace par milakr apna ek get together kare.'

'Khanak ne... par kyun?'

'woh mujhe party pasand nahi aayi, aur usne mere liye Shrikhand bhi banaya hai.'

'shrikhand?'

'hmm... mera favourite.'

'mujhe laga tumhara favourite gajar ka halwa hai.'

'Tashu gajar ka halwa mujhe pasand hai, woh mera favourite nahi hai.' When she didn't say anything, he added, 'Tashu irritate hone ki zaroorat nahi hai, mere bare main bahut kuch hai jo tumhe pata nahi hai.'

'uh.... main... irritate nahi ho raho hoon.'

'oh really?'

Natasha smiled she knew it was use lying to Abhi, he knew her too well, 'thodi si.'

He laughed, 'toh tumhara mood theek kaise kare? Race to the terrace?'

'fine, at the count of three, 1,2....3'

They both ran...

::::

Abhi entered the terrace first, and turned around, 'ha main...'

Tashu was close behind him, but he entered the terrace first, and she tripped over a potted plant kept at the entrance, and fell into Abhi's arms.

'sorry...'

He took a deep breath, 'It's okay, par jeeta main!'

She looked at him, 'main thodi hi door thi!'

'toh? First toh main hi aaya!'

'bus itni,' she indicated the distance with her thumb and index finger, 'itni si doori se.'

'oh really?'

'yes Abhi really.'

'par haari toh tum hi!'

'yeh koi competition nahi tha.'

'tha.'

'nahi tha.'

'Tashu tha, yeh competition tha!'

'nahi tha, yeh competition nahi tha!'

They were very close, Abhi had still not let go of her, his hands were still on his waist and her hands were still on his chest. And a tear escaped Natasha's eyes.

'hey Tashu... uh... theek hai... tum jeeti main hara... jeesh tumhe rone ki zaroorat nahi hai.'

She smacked him in a friendly way , 'nahi stupid, main haari mujhe uska dukh nahi hai, tum jaa rahe ho uska dukh hai.'

'Aww... tum mujhe miss karogi?'

She smiled, 'thoda sa.'

'thoda sa?'

'bahut thoda sa.'

They both smiled and hugged one another.

And in that moment Natasha knew that she would miss Abhi more than she had evern thought she would, she wished that she could go with him. He brought back the fun Natasha in her, and made her forget the emotional, clingy and a little overbearing Natasha that she had become ever since Shan had married. Going away with him for some time felt like the best option. But she knew she can't do that, what excuse did she have anyway?

'umm... Tashu?'

'oh! I'm sorry.'

She let go of him, 'im sorry.'

He smiled, 'silly main yeh poochne wala tha ke kya gtumhe Delhi se kuch chahiye?'

She gave it athought, 'nahi, bus tum jaldi wapas aa jana...'

They both smiled.

'hey guys! Let's begin our party!'

They both looked back and saw Khanak and Shan coming with food and drinks.

'this is going to be fun.'

Natasha turned back to Abhi, 'yes it is.' She said with a smile, and then she looked back at Khanak and Shan, 'it's always fun with friends.'

Abhi smiled at her comment, 'friends...' he whispered.

::::

Khanak stood in front of the mirror as she took out the little amount of jewellery she had adorned for the evening.

Shantanu walked in the room, his shirt unbuttoned, and his black undershirt visible. He looked at her and smiled.

She looked up and saw him in the mirror, and returned the smile. 'aaj bahut mazza aya na Abhi aur natashaji ke saath?'

He nodded, 'hmm...'

'aaj ki raat bahut yadgar rahi, main isse kabhi nahi bhoolongi!'

He walked slowly towards her, 'nahi, yeh shaam abhi tak yadgaar nahi bani hai.'

She turned around, 'kyun? Humne itni masti ki, itni baatein ki. Abhi ke jaane se pehle humne unhe... woh kya kehte hai? Pharwell? humne unhe achcha pharewell diye.'

Shan smiled, 'pharewell nahi, farewell, f-a-r-e well.'

He stood close to her, not to close but close enough for her to ask, ' aap kya kar rahe hai?'

'main kya kar raha hoon?'

'aap yahan kyun khade hai?'

'matlaab?'

'mere paas...'

He suppressed a mischievous smile, 'kyun tumhe kuch kuch hota hai?'

'uh... nahi... Shantanu aap bhi na.'

She started walking towards the cupboard to take out her night clothes, but he held her upper arm and he pulled her back to him.

'Shantanu...'

'shh...' He put his index finger to make her stop talking, while his other hand came to rest at the small of her back, he then leaned in , just an inch and said, ' maine kaha tha na main tumhe sikha doonga.'

She nervously wet her lip, as she finally looked into his eyes, and whispered 'kya?'

He pulled her to him, not too close though, 'naachna...'

Khanak looked up at him and smiled, ' main apna haath kaha rakhoon?'

He released her back and took her hand and kept it on his shoulder, 'yahaan aur doosra haath yahaan..' He took her other hand and held it in his, as his other hand went back to her back.

'par...'

'Ab kya Khanak? Maine kaha tha main tumhe sikhaonga, party mein Abhi aa gaya tha par ab no par war...'

'Shantanu, hum gaane ke bina naach kaise sakte hai?'

'oh! Tum sahi keh rahi ho.' He looked around the room and then he got an idea, he took out his phone and played the only slow song he had saved; he kept his phone on the dresser, and walked back to Khanak.

'ab theek hai.'he looked at her and smiled as she nodded excitedly.

He snaked his hand around her waist and brought her close to him, while she held his shoulder from one hand.

'bus mujhe follow karna. Hmm...' he offered her his hand.

She smiled and took it.

He moved his legs, 'see 1, 2 , 3 ...1,2,3 easy hai...'

She looked at his feet and took a deep breath and hesitatingly started to follow him.

'dekha tum bahut achcha kar rahi ho, maine kaha tha mein tumhe sikha doonga, tum meri... AHH!'

She stepped on his toe. 'mujhe maaf karna par yeh apki galti hai!'

'meri galti?!'

'haan apne baatein ki, mera dhyaan hata diya!'

'Achcha sorry, ab wapas kare?'

'nahi! Mujhe iss tarah se nachna nahi aata! Main nahi seekhongi!'

'Khanak tum seekh rahi ho, galti karna maaf hai, ab chalo.'

'nahi Shantanu.' she turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

Shantanu held her arm and pulled her back to him.

She looked at him, 'Shantanu!'

'Shh... Do(two) minute ke liye kuch mat bolo, sirf gaane ko sunno, usse mehsoos karo. Apni ankhe band karo Khanak, aur sirf mujhpar aur gaane par dhyaan do.'

'Sha....'

He brought his hand to her eyes and shut them. he held her by the shoulder, his hand travelled down her arm slowly, until he reached her hands, 'relax...' he whispered to her.

He took her hand and placed it on his shoulder, and held the other one in his hand. 'bus mujhe follow karo.'

'Shantanu.'

'mujhpar bharosa hai na?'

She nodded.

He moved his leg, and she followed, no numbers were spoken, no directions, she just followed him, and he led her.

Khanak felt calm, she felt like she was floating, like nothing in the world was and ever could be wrong... she felt a strange happy feeling spread across her chest, she sighed lightly.

Shan smiled, as he saw her smile a little, she looked happy, and calm. He leaned in and whispered into her ear, 'tum bahut achcha kar rahi ho.'

She shrugged a little as she felt his breath on her neck, a shiver ran down her back. She put her head on his chest.

He closed his eyes and let himself drown in the music, mujhe kabhi itna...He stopped his mind from analysing anything; he just wanted to go with the music.

They both swayed to the music, in each other's arms well after the song ended .

Kash yeh gaana kabhi khatam na ho, Khanak thought to herself, gaana? She realised they were swaying to silence, the song had ended but their dance hadn't.

'uh...' she pulled back from Shantanu.

Shan let go of her reluctantly, 'uh...'

Khanak straightened her sari, and them looked at him, with a smile, 'thunku.'

Shan smiled, 'thank you Khanak.'

'ab maine naachna seekh liya, aaj ke liya utna kaafi hai, thunku kal sikhana.'

Shan smiled.

'ab so jaye, ya aapko kuch aur bhi sikhana hai?' she walked to the cupboard and got her clothes then went to the bathroom to change.

Shan smiled looking at the bathroom door. Now that their dance was over he started feeling exhausted, he took off his shirt and shoes and fell into bed.

Khanak came out and saw the mess she then looked at him and smiled, he was sleeping in an awkward position, she shook her head, 'burdhal...'

Can we please turn your FF into a TV show too? 😆 I would really like to see a character like Sid in RBO!! I was kind of hoping that Rohan would turn out to be like that..par wahan toh kuch aur hi chal raha hai. 🤔

I think this was my fav chapter in the FF, 1) because I saw the word Tashu and clingy in the same sentence!! 😆 that cracked me up for some reason..but I'm glad that she likes Abhi now. Their pair looks adorable!! I mean ever since I started reading the FF...I've been wanting to see them on a show together! haha..which most probably is not possible.

the dance part was awesome!! I can't believe they kept dancing even after the song ended..😆 of course, they were so into the dance (and each other), it was bound to happen.
