Part 24-
Khanak stomped towards Shaan angrily, huffing as she went. Her hair was messed up from her nap, and she was still in her pink Pj's.
You Duffer, idiot, moron! Khanak exclaimed slapping Shaan on the shoulder.
Oww! Khanak, yeh.. maine kya kiya, yaar! Shaan complained inching away from her.
*Khanak ruffled her hand through her hand* Uugh, I'm late, shit, shit, shit! She grumbled to herself. With that she ran back upstairs, and slammed her bedroom door close.
*Arjun took a sip from his drink* She's gone totally mad, he mumbled.
Everyone looked at Shaan, whose eyes were filled with wonder and confusion.
In her room, Khanak sat kneeling against the bed, with her laptop in front of her. Today was the only day in two months, she had time to Skype with Ajay, and she had waited days for it.
Hey Khanak! Whats up, Babe? Ajay called out. He was sitting in some type of couch, with a drink in his hand.
*Khanak smiled slightly* Tum abhi bhi itna drink karta ho? She asked.
*Ajay scoffed* Nahi yaar, ajj who Akshay ka birthday tha, isse liye, thoda, you know the guys forced me and stuff... he said.
Ohh... tum kaise ho? She asked.
I'm doing great! And you won't believe it, Papa wants to promote me to head manager, then I'll be your boss! What say? He asked chuckling slightly.
*Khanak looked confused* Kya...? Lekin branch ka head, toh dad hai, toh phir, tumhari Papa...? She said.
Oh yeah, well see they're business partners. Remember, tumhare jaane ke baad, ek meeting tha, aur yeh saab decide hua. Khanak... why do you look so shocked? He asked.
*Khanak shook her head* No..I .. I guess I just forgot. Forget about it. Tum batao, when are you coming here? She asked.
*Ajay scratched his head* Ermm, about that, yaar kaam mein itna busy hoon, and I have to fly to Dubai, for some meeting, I ... don't think I could make it this time, he said.
Lekin Ajay, yaha saab hai, and you were invited! She said.
Babe I know, but try to understand, I have loads of work here, too! And hey, all of your friends are gonna come to India, for our wedding, right? I'll just meet them here, he said.
Yeah..I guess, she replied.
Okay, well I have to go.. .don't miss me too much! He said, and with that he cut the call not giving Khanak a chance to reply.
Khanak felt her eyes moisten, and her fingers grew slightly numbs, as she closed her laptop. Bye, she whispered.
Shaan walked upstairs to grab his cellphone, when he saw Khanak standing in her room, looking out the window. He hesitated walking in, but felt that she needed company.
Khanak...? He called.
*Khanak turned around, and looked at Shaan* Oh, hey, she replied.
Shaan felt that something was wrong, and suddenly felt really bad about what happened this morning.
Hey, umm listen I'm really sorry about this morning, I... shouldn't have...
Nahi, I mean it was my fault, I forgot that I had a call, this morning, and so I freaked out. I'm sorry, she said.
So..it's all cool? He asked.
*She smiled* It's all cool.
Their relationship had grown to a point where, silence was a peaceful thing. He understood her, and she understood him. Nothing seems complicated, other than how they felt indifferent about themselves when they were together. Shaan felt like himself, from two years ago. And Khanak felt free, and warm. This relationship had no name, as no name would justify it.
- Okay every single tomato/jootha is welcome for this terrible update. I am currenlty dying over my finals and stuff, so.. I'll be completely done on June 5th, with 3 months off of school. So expect tons of long updates then, until then wish me luck! <3
