Here's the 2nd one..hope you like it..and Poo..your siggies are just amazing!!!!😃
Disneyland!!!!!!!! At last!!
Shaan laughed shaking his head when he saw Khanak's face light up with a huge smile as soon as they entered 'The Magic Kingdom.' She did several little hops, skips and jumps and clapped her hands together looking around trying to absorb the mystical fairytale world around her.
They were standing on Main Street which with its turn of the century architecture and vintage vehicles transported them to a bygone era. There were people dressed in 19th century style in long skirts and men looked dapper in top hats. Horse buggies and trams were trudging up and down the streets. It was like stepping back in time, they were in a magical world of make believe.
I never knew that there was a five year old hidden somewhere in that hauntingly alluring body of yours!
Honey! I have multiple personalities, and I assume different ones in different situations, remember Ms. Chameleon? She winked coquettish, putting her arms around his neck.
Then I am familiar with only a couple of them, are there many more?
A lot more and some are quite mysterious and dangerous.
Gosh! I can't wait to check them out, let's..
She laughed throwing her head a back, a full throated enchanting laugh. OMG!!You are so, so cute my honey bun! I am just fida over you. Besides it tells me that my pheromones are in good working order. But abhi humara mood nahin hai!
Then mood kab banega?
After I have had my fill of this place! Now let's take a ride on the railroad!
Oh no!! Not here!
Shaan looked around in frustration when Khanak made him get down in Fantasyland which was supposed to be a land of magic and fairytales. This was not a place where a romantic couple could expect to have any fun at all.
I didn't know that coming to this place will make you regress into a toddler! Even the princesses here are fully clothed! He said in a dejected voice. I guess I just have to make do with my wife's long legs for now, he thought his eyes zeroing in upon them as he hurried behind her. Wait for me!!
Chachuu!!! Doctor Aunty!! No, Chachi!!!!
Omg!!! This woman has surely driven me bonkers!! Now I am hearing things!!! He frowned.
Thud!! Something small holding a huge pooh bear doll collided into his legs and almost successfully uprooted him.
Chachuu!! We found you!! Daddy we found them!!!
Megha!!! For the love of God!!! And Akki bro!! Pinch me!! Ouch!! Not that hard!
Shaan was stupefied to see Megha standing there with a smile extending from ear to ear..and soon from somewhere emerged Akki and along with him Boo bhabhi wearing a princess tiara on her head...!
Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody shouted including Khanak whose turn it was now to be the victim of Megha's enormous hug.
Shaan rubbed his eyes, still finding it hard to believe..
Megha, bro, bhabhi, you all here and you knew!!?
Khanak put her hands to her ears and tried to look apologetic, Sorry baba! Akshay bhaiya had sworn me to secrecy and I couldn't refuse.
Yes, my little sis listens to what I say! Akshay smiled giving her a hug.
We chased you and we caught you, my Dad's awesome right Chaachu? The awesomestest in the world!!!
Yes, sweetheart, Shaan said as he lifted the little doll in the air and kissed her forehead; that statement I have to agree with but it will hold well only till I become a Dad, then I will replace him! Haina Angel? He winked suggestively at Khanak who blushed and frowned at him..
Sharm bhi karo kabhi kabhi, remember we are in company? She chided him but with a smile.
Don't worry Khanak! Shaan has never been not Besharam and he always loves to blow his own horn so let him speak.. Boo laughed as she hugged her.
Oh bhabhi , you know me so well! And thanks for coming all this way to drop off my niece! We were missing her so much! Weren't we Jaan? Shaan said with a wicked grin.
C'mon devarji, can't you take a little tease? Besides Megha can't stay without me anymore! Aur apni batao! Looks like you have completely forgotten about us! Honeymoon and that too almost a month long, kuch inse seekho Akki! And what have you done to my SIL? I was having a tough time recognizing her! You look stunning my dear! She said sweeping her eyes over Khanak's sleeveless mauve top and denim shorts
Bhabhi, she has always been gorgeous! And she listens to whatever I say. Shaan grinned at the blushing Khanak as Akki chipped in playfully;
Meri choti behen ko tease mat karo Shaan nahin to mein tumhari khichdi bana doonga!
Meri biwi ko mein kuch bhi keh sakta hoon bro! Besides she likes it, just look at her...
Chachu, Daddy..!! Megha shouted pulling on Shaan's face, Don't fight! This is Disneyland and I want to have fun! Where is Teddy Aunty?
Haan haan sweet baby! Now I know why we came here! Today is devoted to you and you alone! Shaan laughed and everybody joined in as Khanak pulled out the little toy from her backpack.
I am sorry Megha but I couldn't do a good job, though I tried my best! She said as Megha grabbed and kissed the now ragged doll.
It's okay chachi! He will always be my best friend and I will never leave him!
Yes my dear, he will always be with you. Boo smiled gratefully at Khanak while she tousled Megha's hair.
Chachu lets ride on Dumbo! I want to see how he flies!
So started the rest of the day as they catered to every whim of the little princess! She insisted on going on every ride with either Shaan or Khanak or both. She 'flew' on Dumbo with Shaan, rode the circus train with Khanak, sailed the happiest cruise in the world which showcased singing and dancing dolls from all over the world and galloped up and down on the back of a beautiful horse in King Arthur's carousel.
Wow! You have tremendous patience both of you! I am sure your child will be the luckiest in the world! Any happy news yet little sis? Akshay asked grinning as they all sat expectantly in a large Tea cup waiting for the 'Mad Tea Party' to start.
Stop it Akki! Bechare abhi bacche hain! Let them play for some more time, and not hurry like us! Boo smiled fondly at Shaan and Khanak who were looking at each other lost in their own world. Look they didn't even hear a word you said, this is what I call romance! Learn from your brother Akki, learn!
Shaan reached for Khanak's hand and gently stroked it while staring intently into her eyes, which made she felt her knees quiver as she tried her best to appear composed in front of Megha who was watching her curiously.
Aunty your cheeks are turning red, do you have a fever?
Yes my dear, a fever of a different kind! Shaan chuckled as Khanak glared at him and pulled away her hand.
Eeeks, faster, faster!!! Megha screamed as the tea cups started to spin round and round colliding with their neighbors making everybody burst out into spontaneous laughter.
What yaar, the best part of the day and we are banished? Akki made a wry face at Shaan as they sailed the canal through story book land waiting for their wives to show up.
Shaan laughed; Watch it Bro, you are a married man! As for me, my wife is my queen and every other woman pales in front of her beauty.
Daat deni padegi chote! You are smitten with her and I am so happy for you!
Thanks bro. Yes, I am indeed very lucky! Hey isn't that Pinochio, the wooden boy who wished to become human?
Yes and his nose grew longer every time he lied. I wish I was a child again with no worries, no responsibilities.
Yes with no responsibilities! Shaan said thoughtfully.
Talking of responsibilities, when are you planning to come back bro? This honeymoon can't last forever!
Yes I know it can't, even if I wished it would.
Chote! I will always love you as my little bro but now you have a wife. Besides you have taken the decision to branch out on your own without seeking my advice. So you can't keep taking it easy for much longer, you need to get started soon.
I get what you are saying Akki, that I don't have much time. Don't worry we will head back.
Won't you reconsider your decision and join the Khandelwal group back again? Dad wants you to though he may not say it out aloud. And I would like the same as well. Akki said putting his hand on Shaan's shoulder.
Thanks but no thanks Akki! The more I think about it, the surer I get. I cannot come back, at least not now. My philosophy is completely different from Dad's and I won't be happy working for him and that won't do. I may be able to pick up some contracts but my main task is to complete Khanak's charity hospital and it has become my dream project.
Don't be silly Shaan, dreams are for children, not adults. That's all very nice to talk about, but it may bankrupt you. You can always work on it while you are with us.
Bro, dreams can turn into reality if you believe hard enough in them! And I will make ours true. I have given it a lot of thought and I think I can do it. I am going to take up other projects on the side; Rahul has told me that some folks have already expressed interest in my field of expertise. And as you know I have never been afraid of hard work. Shaan smiled looking firm and determined.
You haven't changed, stubborn as ever. I almost envy you but in a good way. I will always be your staunchest well wisher and supporter. But if you give my little sis any trouble I can also become your worst enemy!
I will never let that happen. She is my inspiration, my life source. You are welcome to kill me if I do so.
Hey, hey hey! Cool it bro! Wow! You are sounding like an ancient love story! Akki laughed as they walked back to where Khanak, Boo and Megha were waiting.
No, not ancient, but a modern love story of Khanak and Shaan! Am I right Megha? Shaan grinned as he picked Megha up and bent to kiss his wife on the cheek.
Yes, Chaachu you are always right! But I am hungry now!!!!😆
