khanak ka armaan UPDATED p4, pg11 written by yumna - Page 4

"Shaantanu!!Where were you?!! I have been waiting since ages!" Khanak scolded Shaan, gathering her hair in a roll. She had been sure she had clipped her hair, she wondered rritably. Shaan totally distracted by Khanak's outburst murmured something about getting stuck in traffic.

"Ab Chalo! Gaari wahan kharii hain!" He held her wrist and led her towards the road, to make her cross it.

As they were about to step on the pavement, both heard a call of "Excuse me! Ms. Khanak! Ek minute!" They turned to see a man striding towards them, a jaw clip in his outstretched hand.

"This is yours" said Dr. Armaan in a deep heavy voice, handing the clip to Khanak, smiling, totally ignoring Shaan, who was standing beside Khanak, his hand still holding on to her wrist. As Khanak put her free hand forward to take the clip from Doctor Armaan, she felt Shaan's grip on her wrist tighten. She glared at him, who ignored her and was now staring pointedly and sternly at Doctor Armaan.

Khanak sensed the tension and broke the silence. "Shaantanu yay Doctor Armaan hain." She introduced him. "Aur Doctor Armaan yaay---------"

"Main in ka pati hoon!!" Shaan cut her out and introduced himself, much more forcefully than was required.

Armaan raised his eyebrows. "Err and does her (he looked towards Khanak) pati have a name?" he said putting his hand forward to shake Shaan's. He was smiling in an amused sort of way. Khanak giggled, earning a shifty look from Shaan. Shaan immediately took Dr.Armaan's hand and said "Shaantanu Khandelwal" and smiled back though his smile was frosty.

"Shaantanu?" Khanak started. "Doctor Armaan helped me out in saving a little kid." She smiled broadly. Shaan looked at her and noticed a faint blush creep up on her cheeks, a blush that was only reserved for him.

"How touching" Shaan gave a fake smile, looking at Dr.Armaan, who raised his eyebrows still further and smiled amusingly. He looked at Khanak and said "Khanak jee. Please don't worry about the kid. He is in safe hands." And as he said it Khanak's eyes fell on Dr. Armaan's well built body, his huge muscles, and a massive tattoo covering his entire arm. She felt her blush deepen as she took in the vastness of his chest and arms and the contour of his six pack abs. She had only just finished imagining what it would be like for a girl to be in enveloped in those inviting Tatoo-full arms when she was brought back to earth with a deliberate "cough cough". She looked around and saw Shaan clearing his throat more loudly than usual, his eyes looking at her sharply. It was obvious that Shaan had noticed her drooling over this good looking man, whose eyes were such that you could drown into them for eternity, Khanak thought. She hastily smiled and looked pointedly at the spot the car was parked.

"Well nice meeting you Mr.Shaantanu and Ms,Khanak!" Dr. Armaan said. "If you need to get in touh with a Cardiologist Consultant, I'm the man!" he said now looking directly at Shaan. " I've given Khanak jee my card. I work in Sanjeevani. You know where it is right?"

"Yeaa I do." Said Shaan who did not seem very pleased with the fact that he was advertising himself to his wife! "But I doubt we'll be coming there you know! We're perfectly hale and hearty, aren't we Khanak? Unless you've 'recently' lost your heart to someone and want it back!" he said sarcastically looking at Khanak slantingly.

Khanak gave him a dirty look. "Thank you Dr.Armaan. Thank you for all your help." Khanak said, now much more composed. Shaan smirked as Dr.Armaan left, his bulky arms flapping behind him. Khanak saw him leave and smiled, then suddenly looked at Shaan who was watching her closely.

"What?" she said, innocently.

"Aj kal kay Doctors ko dekho!! Wannabe kaheen kay!" he snubbed, looking away from Khanak at last, grabbing her wrist again and dragging her to the car as though taking her away as far as possible from any sort of harm.
