Part 5
Khanak was shaken by what she had felt in her room. Shaan had been so close, she almost let him kiss her, hell she wanted him to kiss her. She would never admit it to him ofcourse but she almost wished her cousin hadn't interupted them. Khanak shook her head...what are you thinking she thought to herself. "You don't like this guy"! Khanak quickly busied herself with her cousins so that she wouldn't think of "him". She walked back to the mandip as the wedding was coming to an end. Lavanya was a married woman now. Everyone was very happy, and close family was a little teary eyed. Khanak was standing next to her mom who was busy discussing something with her chachi when an older lady came over and stood beside Khanak. She was looking Khanak up and down with a big smile on her face. Khanak glanced at her and was trying to pretend she didn't notice the rude woman. Just as Khanak had had enough and was about to say something the woman spoke up. "You're very pretty", Thanks said Khanak feeling akward. "Can you cook" said the woman in the next breath. Khanak looked at her shocked. "do you know how to manage a household? came the next question. Khanak was starting to get mad now, what kind of questions were these she thought. Khanak's mom is busily talking to Khanak's aunt and does not notice Khanak is nudging her do something. "We want a bahu who is going to take good care of our vikrant. She must stay home we don't want a career minded bahu, she must cook his favorite dishes, we have a cook but what use is a daughter in law in a house if she can't cook for her family. Khanak's face is turning red, she feels her blood pressure start rise, oh she was going to tell this lady exactly where her and vikrant could go. But she never got that far, instead she hears a familiar voice say "Auntiji are you asking if Khanak can cook...she is a master chef. She will keep you and your whole family well fed with many different foods. Khanak looked at the "devil" infront of her. Whoelse but Shaan Singhania. Khanak would make you the perfect bahu, she is so well mannered, you can barely even hear her voice she speaks so softly. Your wish would be her command. The woman is smiling. She looks at Khanak. My Vikrant has gotten so slim, he needs someone who will take good care ofhim. "Oh there he is" she points to the buffet table. Khanak and Shaan both look over and see what looks to be a 300 lb man stuffing his face with ludoos. " Isn't he handsome" she says. Khanak doesn't need to look over at Shaan to see that he's laughing so hard he's shaking. He's choking on his laughter and Khanak wishes she could reach over and really choke him. I will speak to your mom about this rishta. I wasn't sure about your foreign girls but now that I've spoken to you I see that you might be good enough for my Vikrant. As she walks away Khanak is shocked..did this just happen to her?! Shaan ofcourse bursts out laughing. Khanak is ready to murder him, laughing at her expense, how dare he?! "SHUT-UP Shaan" she says. "What I was just helping you find a good rishta was his cheeky reply and then he starts laughing again. Khanak pushes him aside and walks away. What does he think of himself, I'm going to teach him a lesson he won't forget she thought.
Lunch is being served and Khanak and her cousin's walk over to where Jai Jiju's friends are all sitting. Shaan is sitting in the middle of the group. and they are all laughing away at something. Probably at one of Shaan's stupid jokes Khanak thinks to herself. Khanak puts a sweet smile on her face and in her hands she carries a very special plate of sweets. "hi guys" she says. The guys instantly stop talking and focus on her. "We've brought some sweets for you to try Khanak says with a flirty smile, The guys instantly start straigtening up, reaching for the sweets, giving her smiles, thanking her. Guys are so easy to manipulate she thought to herself! Ofcourse the "monster" just looked at her suspiciously not taking anything. "Shaan-ji "please have a ladoo I brought them especially for you." Khanak says batting her eyelashes at him. Shaan JI, Shaan thinks to himself. Okay something was definetly fishy here. "Is it okay if i sit down here" she says and the guys practically trip over themselves making room for her. "Oh thank you so much Khanak gushes at them. She sits down next to Shaan, much to close to Shaan. What was she up to he thought. Oh let's see what was I saying, oh yes ShaanJI I think we got off on the wrong foot. "I'd like for us to start again." This is a peace offering she says as she hands him a ladoo. Shaan-JI wasn't born yesterday. Not so fast Khanak-Ji how do I know you haven't done something to this ludoo. Khanak just shakes her head with a sad smile. "ShaanJi, it breaks my heart that would mistrust me like this." I just wanted to be friends since you are jiju's friend I thought we could let bygones be bygones. Shaan's friends started harassing him, "come on Shaan, she's being so nice, just eat it." don't be an idiot". Then Khanak takes a ladoo off the plate and takes a bite. "See it's fine", she tells the guys to eat their's and they're fine too. Shaan suspicious as ever, puts down the ladoo she had given him and grabs another one off the plate. He looks at her with a smile and pops it into his mouth, biting down. Oh my god HOT HOT HOT, his mouth was on FIRE. Khanak jumps up out of his way as Shaan spits out the ladoo. WATER, WATER get me some water he yells. As someone hands him a jug of water, all Shaan could hear is her laughter, her loud laughter. Shaan looked up at her laughing face. How could someone that looked like an angel be such a shedevil he thought as he yelled for another jug of water.All too soon the wedding ceremonies had come to an end and Lavanya was leaving, the vidaii ceremony was a sad affair. There wasn't a dry eye in the room as everyone said their goodbyes to Lavanya. Khanak hung back and was the last to say goodbye. She tried to hold back the tears trying to send Lavanya away with a smile but one look at her cousin's face and the tears came like a flood. She'd miss her cousin.
As all the guests left, it was just family left. All the cousins one by one had congregrated in the living room, some having changed to casual attire. Khanak had changed into a royal blue salwar and hot pink fitted t-shirt, her hair pulled up into a loose bun on top of her head. No jewellry and just some lipstick. Looking at everyone's glum faces Khanak snapped her fingers. Hey why is everyone so down she said...Lavanya is married..remember this was a happy occasion she said. I know Di her cousin spoke up, but now it's all over, the anticipation, the parties, the fun. Now we're going back to normal boring every day life. We just feel blah. Khanak shook her head at them, well that was bound to happen but we don't necessarily need the fun to stop right now. I was thinking I'm here for another 10 days and even though I've been to India many times I've never been to Goa! So people let's go to Goa! Khanak's cousin's all started speaking excitedly at once, "Oh my god that would be so much fun", I've always wanted to go to Goa" "we would have a blast, lay on the beach all day and party all night". This was some of the excited chatter happening around her. "Wait a minute Di" spoke up Arhan, Khanak's cousin. You know the parents won't allow this. We've already missed college for the past few days, they aren't going to let us miss more. Khanak gave a slow smile. arhan do you really think anyone is going to say no to me?" "I'm only here for another week who knows when I'll be back. "You leave that to me, you guys just starting booking, planning and packing!" Everyone started cheering and laughing. Khanak smiled, now to convince the parents.
"Dad I need to talk to you" Khanak called as she saw her dad walking into the room. Khanak beta I need to talk to you too he said. "Okay but me first she said. Dad Arhan, Riya, Sonia, Priya, Raj, and I want to go to Goa for 4 days. "well then go was his answer" YAY thanks dad you're the best now please convince all the other oldies to let their kids go, not everyone is as cool as my dad, she said. Khanak's dad laughed as Khanak threw her arms around him and hugged him. Okay Okay I'll take care of it but don't book your flight for tomorrow. Tomorrow we're going over to your mohan uncle's for dinner. Okay dad was Khanak's answer as she hurried back to her cousin's to sratrt planning their trip.
The next evening Khanak and her parents headed over to mohan uncle's place. She didn't rememeber ever being there before but according to her dad she had been, when she was very young and had loved playing with mohan uncle's kids. The house they pulled outside of was massive, and very impressive. Gaurds let them through the gates and a windy driveway lead to the front entrance of the beautiful home. Khanak's family were builders and developers, so she had been around large beautifully built buildings all of her life. She knew good workmakship and pride was taken to build this home. mohan uncle and his family were waiting at the front door, hellos and hugs were exchanged and everyone was ushered into the beaufitul foyer. The house was not only well built but also decorated beautifally in a very classy contemporary look. Khanak was impressed.
Drinks were brought out and apples were served. Khanak met Rashi and Sara, uncle's daughters both very friendly and easy to talk to. There was a son too who had stepped out because of an important business meeting but was expected home any minute. Khanak was having a good time.
Shaan couldn't believe his luck, his only vacation after how long and he gets called in for an important conference call that lasted 3 hours! He knew Siddharth uncle and his family were coming for dinner and his dad wanted him there. He didn't know what the big deal was, this was dad's friend why was it so important that he be there. He had already said hello to him at Lavanya's wedding. But whatever he was headed back to Mumbai tomorrow evening, back to the grindstone so this was his last evening to spend with family and relax. Shaan decided to slip in through the back exit and go up to his room and quickly change before he went down to meet everyone.
Khanak was laughing at something Rashi was telling her when she clumisly spilt some of her drink on her kameez. She jumped up and started patting the area with napkins, thank god she was wearing a darker colored salwar kameez( deep purple suit fitted with cap sleeves, deep rounded neck in the back with silver threadwork and pipping going around it and a deep rounded neck in the front with similar emboridery Very simple but extremely elegant) "Khanak go up to my bathroom and clean yourself up and please help yourself to anything in my closet" said Rashi. My room is the 3rd room on the left. Khanak thanked her and headed up the grand staircase. Walking down the hallway there were so many rooms, now what did Rashi say, oh yeah 3rd room on the right. Khanak walked in and got the surprise of a lifetime. There stood Shaan Singhania with no shirt. Khanak's mouth dropped open..oh my god how could someone be so damn HOT. He was so toned, the perfect musular but lean built, oh my god look at those arms, look at that chest! Khanak couldn't stop staring. Shaan spoke first "YOU" what are you doing here" he exclaimed! Khanak came back to her senses and looked away. "What am I doing here, what are you doing here" she questioned? I live here, Shaan replied back, well atleast sometimes he added. "WHAT" Khanak said to him with a confused look on her face. Whatever, this is my house Shaan says back. All this time no shirt, and Khanak even though she's trying not to can't help buy steal glances at that chest. And then it clicks "You're mohan uncle's son she says' Yeah...and you're...and then understanding is seen on his face, and you're Sid uncle's daughter. They both stare at eachother dumbfounded. "How could you be mohan uncle's son, he's so nice and you're such a jerk!" Shaan just glared back, "you know I could say the same for you how could such a nice guy have a shedevil for daughter" was his reply. Khanak took a few steps forward seeing red. "Excuse me the only devil of any sort in this room is you". "Oh and by the way Shaan-Ji how did you like the special ludoos that were prepared expecially for you. " "I didn't realize they would too hot to handle for a man like you...but you're not really man are you, you're just a little boy." With that Khanak turned around and took a step towards the door. In the next instant she feels Shaan grab her arm and jerk her towards him. He turns her around and presses her against the wall with his shirtless chest pressed against her holding her hostage. Khanak is shocked, she looks up into those burning eyes. "Let me go Shaan" she says struggling. Struggling not only to be let go but to not lose her composure she can feel her heart beating so fast. "Khanak, I think maybe it's time I show you just what I am, and what I can handle and who I can handle. You looked like you liked what you saw when you were ogling my chest earlier...Khanak interupts him..."Ogling, I wasn't ogling anything she stutters. Shaan presses further into her, Khanak you and both know what you were doing. As he says this he moves strands of Khanak's hair from her face, she can feel his breath on her face. Their lips are an inch apart. Khanak's eyes are closed and just as he's about to press his lips against Khanak's, he yells in pain. Khanak had just sunk her high healed shoe into his foot. "What is wrong with you he yells as he hops around on one foot in major pain. "I wasn't ogling you; you oaf" ' How dare you accuse me of that? " "Do you know who I am and how many guys would die for a chance to date with Khanak Aluwalia?!" 'And you think i was ogling you, .I was right the first time I met you...YOU"RE A LOSER!" With a toss of her hair Khanak walks out of the room. What just happened here Shaan asks himself with shock. "One minute she looked like she was ready to melt into his arms and the next she was trying to kill him. Shaking his head and looking down at his throbbing foot Shaan knew one thing to be true. He would never ever understand women! Never!
Khanak hurried downstairs, oh my god she had been so close to throwing her arms around Shaan and letting him kiss her senseless, that was until his words had sunk in...ogling him. What did he think he was? God's gift to women! Remembering how he looked a little voice in Khanak's head said" yes that's exactly what he is" But Khanak shushed that voice and instead let her short temper take over. She was glad she was wearing her stiletto heals today, teach him to mess with her!
Rashi met her at the bottom of the stairs and asked her if everything was okay. Khanak quickly assured her it was. They went back to chatting. Khanak tried to participate in the conversation but her attention was fully on that crazy man upstairs. She couldn't believe he was uncle's son, more then that she couldn't believe the effect he had on her. She had never felt this before and personally she wasn't liking it. Shaan was an egotistical, hypocritical, cocky, know it all. NOT her type. Then why was her heart still beating so fast she thought.
