OS attempts---Love will find a way!updated page 2 - Page 2

I just penned down another OS in a way its a continuation of my previous OS, hope you all like it!😊

Love will find a way...

Shaan rushed out of the house, his mind in a whirl...he had to find Khanak, hope that she had not gone too far. He stood on the street looking madly this way and that.. He felt betrayed by his mom..whom he had blindly trusted all his life, because he was her favorite or so he thought. How could she do this to him... her son, who was so devoted to her? Granted, Khanak was from a village but she was not illiterate, and she had such nice qualities...she was so loving, respectful, never had she been confrontational and of course she was an excellent cook to boot. Shaan was sure that his Khanak who had beauty and brains would soon have his mom eating out of her hand if she would just give her a chance! Aww..he was missing her already, his lovely wife, his Khanak.

SH: meri Khanak kahan jayegi, Dhulwadi of course! Last time woh busstop gayi thi, shayad is baar train station? Kyonki woh jaanti hai ke main uske peeche jaonga, isliye woh busstop nahi jaayegi..tupid! He got in his car and headed toward the train station.

-----------------------------------------

Meanwhile, at Mogambo's house Natasha was sitting in her room with Khushboo trying to select a sari and ghagra for the shaadi and reception. Khushboo, who just couldn't contain herself was excitedly chattering nonstop saying that it would be so much fun to have her little sister living with her as her SIL. Natasha was feeling excited too, but she couldn't help feeling a little concerned. Lately Shaan had been behaving very strangely. She had seen a drastic change in his behavior towards her over the past couple of months, infact ever since he had brought Khanak back home. He didn't talk to her as much as he used to, he was less demonstrative towards her, he seemed always to be in a hurry to go home, whereas in the past he always wanted to hang out with her. He also had grown more self confident and had done an excellent job with the new project..she had to give that to him. He was a changed man.

It was definitely not his style to write her notes or letters, he would rather call her. And that too in Hindi? very strange, probably Khanak's influence... But why would his mother give her the letter..stranger and stranger! She had loved the surprise engagement but Shaan somehow had seemed subdued, he hadn't even hugged her tightly..it was almost as if he had expected someone else...who? KHANAK! Natasha felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt! Of course, everything fits perfectly, Shaan's behavior, his talking about Khanak all the time, his self confidence and the way he had proudly declared in front of the investors that his Wife had given him the idea and that he would like her to be a part of the project. He was like a lovesick puppy, and I am the biggest fool in the world!..Tears came streaming down her face....

At the Railway Station:

Shaan rushed into the station franctically scanning the crowd for Khanak's face. He knew he would find her, she couldn't hide from him, her love... But he did not know whether there was a train for Dhulwadi and if so from which platform. He started toward the inquiry kiosk, when suddenly he heard a familiar voice,,, that sweet sound which had always made his heart beat faster..

'BURTHAL!!' ...the voice screamed.

With a grin Shaan turned towards the sound, and he saw the owner of the voice clad in the same blue sari which she had been worn the last time she had run away ( her running away outfit!), involved in a tussle with a man who looked like a ruffian. It looked like he was trying to grab her peti and she was not letting it go, instead she almost seemed to be winning the struggle.

SH: amused, watched her chuckling to himself, Meri Jhansi ki rani, jitni nazook dikhti utni woh nahi hai..

KH: goonde, lafange! chod de meri peti..chor, chor!

By now a small crowd had gathered around the two, watching the proceedings with interest. Mr. Chor, gave a last tug and twisted Khanak's wrist.This made Shaan's hackles rise and at once he strode towards them, how dare anyone touch his beautiful wife? That was his job!

'CRAASHHHH!' the peti fell on to the floor and flew open, scattering its contents. Shaan heard a sob escape Khanak as he quickly dashed to her side. He opened his mouth to say her name when he looked down and saw his smiling face staring back at him. It was his photograph! Khanak was taking his photograph back with her. Seeing this, Shaan felt as if an immense load had lifted from his heart. Though he knew that Khanak loved him too, he did not know that she did it with an equal abandon. He knew now that she did too, coz she had at last let him take Suraj's place..whose presense Shaan had always felt lurking in the background.

SH: Khanak! Mein tumhe lene aaya hoon!

Khanak looked up and through her tears saw Shaan handsome face looking down at her. She smiled and her face shone with an inner light..which dazzled Shaan. Man, was I blind till now, this girl loves me like crazy!!

KH: shyly..aap aa gaye, mujhe kitna intezaar kar vaaya aapne!

Shaan took both her hands in his and pulled her to him. He bent his head and with his mouth close to her ear, whispered..I LOVE YOU...KHANAK! Ab mein tumhe kahin nahi jaane doonga.

When Khanak heard these words, that she had longed to hear, she hugged him right back, then bent her head back and with a brilliant smile said.. I LOVE YOU TOO, Shaantanu!

Shaan who had waited forever to hear these beautiful words, felt so happy and thrilled in the moment that he bent down and kissed her smack on her lips!

There was a sudden hush! then a collective gasp escaped from the crowd, who had been standing around watching the two lovers! Khanak and Shaan who had been lost in each other looked up with a start and flushed red with embarassment....!

A lady in the crowd commented:Haii, kash mera pati bhi aisa hota, aise hi mujhe manata...

Khanak and Shaan smiled at each other..love had won the day....

Please comment...and thanks!!😊
