The sun was slowly rising in the sky, the birds were singing beautifully on the trees.. The sunlight filtered through the satin curtains and fell on khanak's face. She got up instantly. There was a wide smile on her face. She was very happy today as today was the day when she was going back to her home- the khandelwal house with her beloved husband shaan' she got out of the bed to take a bath while khushi and simran were still fast asleep.. she took a good half an hour bath and then dressed up in her favourite white churidaar and paired it with a red dupatta white was shaan's favourite color.. she pinned her hair in a side parting and let the bangs rest on her forehead. She then moved towards the small mandir situated on the entrance of gangubai's place.. she joined her palms in front of bhagwan n prayed
Khanak: bhagwan aj shantanu aur mein apni zindagi naye siry se shuru kerne ja rahy hain..aap please humein himmat dena ke hum hamesha sahi kaam Karen..shantanu ko kabhi bhe koi gham mat dena bhagwan..aj se sirf khushiyan he khushyian milen shantanu ko..
When she was done praying she found shaan standing right next to her. His hands were folded n was grinning at her
Khanak :aap aise kia dekh rahay hain?
Shaan: tumhare chehre pe 100watts ki smile dekh raha hun khanak. Aj tumhare chehre pe ek alag he khushi hai..n I know k uski reason kia hai (smiles) acha ab ye batao ke tum bhagwan se kia mang rahi thi?
Khanak: wo mein apko kiyun baatun?
Shaan: oh aisa kia?
Khanak: {smiles} jee haan.. shanatanu apko pata hai aj mein waqai mein bohat khush hun. Aj hum kitne din baad apne ghar wapis ja rahy hain.. mujhe sbase milne ka kitna dil chah raha hai..Aada, mummy ji, khushboo bhabi,akshay bh..
Shaan: {interrupting her}bus bus khanak ab apne bhaa aur aada k chakkar mein apne is bechare pati ko mat bhool jana
Khanak: {teasingly} sochungi {turning away from him}
Shaan: really now {stopped her holding her wrist and pulling her closer}
Khanak: shanatanu choriye mujhe {blushing}
Ye kia horaha hai yahan? gangubai entered followed by paapi.
shaNak stood straight seeing her.
Khanak: gangubai aj hum wapis apne ghar ja rahe hain and hum apko bohat miss karenge
Shaan: bilkul theek kha khanak ne aur ganagubai apka bohat shukriya ke apne humein apne ghar mein us waqt jaga di jab humein koi jaga nahi mil rahi ti rehne ko.
Gangubai: ye ziada bolne ki zarurat nahi werna gangunbai ko jaante ho tum dono..bus ab dopahar ka khana tum log ganagubai ke hath ka khaoge
shaNak smiled and agreed.
They all had lunch together and then said good byes to each other and shaNak left gangubai's home.
Shaan: I think humein cab kerni chahye.. but yahan se thora sa agay chalna parega
Khanak nodded.
Shaan held khanak's hand tight in his hand..he couldn't understand why but he had this feeling that if he let go of her hand he would nt b able to get her back. While they were still walking khanak separated her hand from shaan's and asked him to get the cab while she bought some mithai for ada
Khanak: shanatanu please aada ko acha lagega n itne din baad hum ghar wapis ja rahy hain khushi ki baat hai to kuch meeetha zarrur hona chahye
Shaan: acha meri jhansi ki rani. Tum aisa karo mithai le k store k bahar he mera wait kerna mein cab le k aata hun.
Khanak nodded.. shaan went to take the cab khanak looked at him for a while and then turned around to go to the mitahi store situated right in front of her on the other side of the road. But just then her way was blocked by a young wannabe kind of a man standing in front of her. She noticed there were 3 men including d one standing in front of her and the other two were sitting on a jeep right behind dem.
She ignored them and tried to move away but the man blocked her way again.
Khanak: hatiye samne se
The guy: mein yahan se hatne k liye thori khara hun and held her wrist.
Just then shaan came and punched dat man in his abdomen
Shaan: {angrily} stay away from my wife
He held khanak's hand and turned away. Just when they had walked a few steps shaan was hit hard on his head. Shaan turned around n hit that man back. Khanak was very worried about shaan.
Khanak: shantanu chorye in ko aur chalye yahan se. shanatanu please
But shaan wasn't listening to her. Just when shaan n dat man were fighting one of the guys got off the jeep with a hockey stick in his hands and was aiming at shaan. Khanak who was seeing all this cried out shaan's name loud
Shanatanu hatiye wahan se shanatanu.
But shaan wasn't listening. Khanak ran towards shaan and pushed him away. The guy with the hockey stick had already aimed and hit khanak instead.. khanak held her head with both her hands the mitahi box fell down. Blood was oozing out of her head, the world around her started spinning. All of the happy moments of hers with shantanu starting coming to her mind their marriage, SR, honeymoon every sweet moment. When those men saw khanak wounded they got back to their jeep and drove away. Shaan who had fallen on the street as a result of khanak pushing him called out khanak's name loud and ran towards her. Khanak collapsed into his arms. Shaan was out of his senses he could nt figure out what to do. He shook khanak's face to wake her up but she was already unconscious after d blow. Shaan then lifted her in his arms and stopped a car crossing from there {as he cudnt find the cab he had went looking out for}
They reached the hospital and khanak was taken to the operation theatre. Meanwhile shaan kept praying for khanak's life. After a while the doctors came out of the operation room. Shaan rushed towards them
Shaan: kesi hai meri khanak?
Doctor: ab wo khatre se bahar hain
Shaan : {relieved} can I see her
Doctor: sure but she is still unconscious
Shaan: I wont disturb her doc.. he shook hands with the doc n thanked him
Shaan went into the room. Khanak was still unconscious. Shaan sat on a stool next to her bed. He held her hand in his and kissed it gently, tears started rolling down his eyes. He wanted to hug her, talk to her, complain to her but he couldn't. While he was still looking at her, his phone rang. It was dad. In all the chaos he had forgotten to inform him of the accident. He rested khanak's hand back on the bed and moved towards the other side of the room to answer the phone
Shaan: yes dad actually wo yahan kuch problem hogyi hai
Surrraaaj'.
Shaan turned around and saw khaank sitting up on the bed her hand held out and tears rolling down her eyes. Shaan moved towards her calling out her name. khanak who had no idea that shaan was also in the room looked at him. And when their eyes met shaan stopped right where he was because the only thing that he could see for himself in her eyes was revenge, anger , n above all HATRED..
