Part 14

Days had passed but Khanak's hand still tingled at the places that Shaan's lips had touched it. She'd raise her hand at awkward times of the day and stare and it dreamily when noone was around, remembering the blissful sensations she had felt in the pit of her stomach when her husband had kissed her so boldly and she just sat there like a shameless wife enjoying every bit of it.

Saathiyaa-----saathiyaa-----paglay say dil nay yay kya kiya

Chun liya-----Chun liyaa----tujh ko deewanay nay chun liyaa

At times, indeed, Khanak would feel that it was horrid to have liked what happened that day. True Shaan was her husband but she had no right to feel him in "that" way. Khanak had realized that what she 'felt' was not just another random sensation. It was love. She had begun to fall in love with the man who, till yesterday, had been her friend.

Dil toh--- uda uda re------Aasman mein badalon ke sang
Yeh toh machal machal kay -----Ga raha hai sun nayee si dhun

But how could she love him? She had thought. For that was Natasha's right and Khanak would never be so hard hearted as to steal it from her. 'Laikin yay Natasha jee bhee na-----ek alug hee kahani hain! Agar yay Shaantanu say itna hee pyaar karti hain-----toh yay unkay saath baithtee kyun nahi? Waqt kyun nahi guzaarti?' she'd say to herself again and again, her hand still raised in the air, her eyes fixed at the spots Shaan had kissed her. 'Main pagal ho chuki hoon' she would say to herself when she'd realize that her hand was stationery in the air for more than several minutes.

Badmash dil ----toh thag hai bada
Badmash dil ----yeh tujh se juda
Badmash dil -----meri sunay na zid pe ada-----

Jerking her hand and hitting it on her head she'd smile to herself and sometimes even laugh. Shaan had caught her one day giggling, staring in space, when he had surprisingly come home early and was passing by her room. Khanak had been extremely embarrassed, panicked and shut the door of her room on Shaan's face when she had seen him staring at her, his hands folded, smiling. Shaan had not protested and Khanak had heard him walk away, making her heart beat a hundred times faster. Hitting herself on her head with her hand again she had murmered a 'Bach gayay' before shaking her head vigourously, hoping that Shaan's face would disappear from it, the harder she shook. She remembered her Bai's sayings that anything not done with the heart would never get done and smiled again.

Yeh kya hua mujhay----Mera yeh dil phisal phisal gaya
Yeh kya hua mujhay----Mera jahaan badal badal gaya

"So what's your plan now?" Geeta asked a tired Shaan in the living room late at night. Khanak was already asleep and Shaan had just come home and had collapsed on the sofa and was in the middle of a lazy conversation with Geeta. Natasha was striding around the room frantically and kept looking at her watch. Geeta looked in Natasha's direction, rolled her eyes and turned to Shaan again. "Batao naa!" she probed when Shaan had said nothing.

"Geeta yaar please don't start again!" Shaan said in a drowsy voice.

"What?! Start again what? I'm just asking you what you plan to do now that you know Khanak loves you! Like last time? Ask her to say 'I love you' to you?!" she said rolling her eyes again.

"Itna aankhen roll muth karo sockets say baahir ajayay gee!" Shaan said yawning widely and shutting his eyes. Natasha's stroll from one corner to the other was starting to hurt his eyes now.

"Shaan! That is NOT the answer to my question!" Geeta said in a jiffy. "So Khanak still doesn't remember that she loved you?"

"Geeta that is not the point!" Shaan said looking straight at her, sitting up straight too. "Her memory is NOT the point! Don't you get it? I don't care if her memory comes back! I can SEE the love in her eyes! I can see it for me " Shaan's voice became all soft. " Mom was right----her love is not based on the power of memory----it's based on the power of what she feels for me----I can see her----getting drawn to me----just like last time----"

"That's still not------"Geeta started.

Shaan was not listening;" Natasha what's up? What's bothering you? Aisay chalna bund karo-----main annoy horaha hoon!" Shaan interrupted Geeta and said to Natasha. Geeeta's face stiffened at being cut out like this.

Natasha gave him a worried look. "Errr-----wohh main----Mitul ka wait kar rahee thee----" she said looking away extremely uncomfortable.

"What?! At this time?!" Shaan asked shocked.

"Errr----haan usay mujhay kuch daina hain-----" she said dismissively and hurriedly escaped to the kitchen before she had to answer any more questions.

Shaan looked at her leave with raised eyebrows, wondering what was up with her. Natasha seemed worried and there was definitely something cooking in her head but what? He turned to Geeta who was looking at him sternly.

"Fine! " he said loudly raising his hands in the air. "You're right! I have no 'PLAN'!! No PLANNN this time too! But I am as sure as hell certain about one thing----"

"Oh Yea?" Geeta said skeptically. "What's that?"

"---That is--- that this time I will NOT ask her to say I Love You to me---- She will say I Love You to me HERSELF." and saying this he got up and dragged himself to the comfort of his bed while Geeta's hands itched to take out her note pad and pencil again.

"I'm going home!" she finally announced loudly, making both Shaan on the stairs and Natasha in the kitchen sigh with relief.

16^th January 2011, 02 AM

Khanak's eyes opened, her mind registering that it was night. She felt thirsty. Hitting her hand on the clock at her side table she saw the time. It was exactly 2:00 AM. She got up drowsily and rubbed her eyes. The effect of the medicines was quite bizarre and it used to annoy her. Sometimes she'd wake up in the middle of the night and stay awake for hours, then fall asleep at dawn resulting her to wake up late in the mornings after Shaan had left for work. She wanted to see him, to stand close to him, have breakfast with him, maybe even brush her hand with his whilst giving him lunch for work but she never got the chance. It made her frustrated and sad. Such was her desperation that she considered skipping her dose of medicines to avoid falling asleep at odd times, the 'odd times' defining when Shaan was home. But Madhvi kept a strict check on her dosage of medicines and Dr.Geeta too would double check every day.

'Chalo main neechay paani lenay chalee jaati hoon----yahan toh khatum hogaya-----waisay bhee ub mujhay kaafi dair tuk neend nahi ayay gee----" she said sadly, her mind registering that another day when she would not see Shaan was coming up. 'Main un kay uthnay tuk jaagi rahoo gee!" she said to herself confidently. 'Buss dekh laina Khanakri!' and making this vow to herself she climbed down the stairs. But her heart stopped beating for a split second when she felt movement in the living room in the semi darkness. Fearing the worst, her mind concocting scary stories of ghosts in the house she hunched herself on the stair case and looked from between the railings.

What she saw made her eyes pop out and gasp loudly, quickly covering her face with her hand as she did. Natasha stood at the door way of the house hugging Mitul, her hands rubbing his back lightly and her head on his chestcompletely. Mitul's hands were around Natasha's waist. Khanak clapped her hands to her eyes shutting the view. She was horrified. She looked again to see if what she saw was true after rigorously rubbing her eyes.She saw that it indeed was. She could not miss the tall frame of Mitul at all.

'Natasha jee aur Mitul jee----- Natasha jee aur mitul jee----- Natasha jee aur mitul jee' her mind repeatedly said as she tried to get up but tripped and hit her foot at the stair case. She saw Natasha turn but before she could see, Khanak had quickly got up and climed up the stairs, all thoughts of her being thirsty forgotten.

'Mujhay pata tha!' she said to herself. 'Yay Natasha jee Shaantanu ko dhoka day rahi hain!' she kept repeating vehemently. 'Aur Shaantanu?!! Itna bharosa kartay hain in par!----usss din bhee mainay jub Shaantanu ko bataya tha-----kay Natasha jee nay Mitul jee ka HAATH pakra hua tha------tub bhee Shaantanu nay kaha 'Khanak tumhay galat fahmi hui hain'! Abhee ja kar unko yay batati hoon!" she decided suddenly. "Unn ko bhee toh pata chalay!" and saying this she strode towards Shaan's room. Shaan was fast asleep and snoring lightly when Khanak switched on the lights and closed the door behind her.

"Shaantanu!!!" Khanak said loudly standing really close to Shaan.he did not budge. "Shaantanuuu!! Uthay!!! Shaantanu! Shaantanu!" Shaan remained as unconscious in sleep as though he had not slept for a hundred years. Khanak screwed up her face angrily and shook him vigourously "Shaantanu!! Uthay! Uthay aur dekhay aapkee Na-Tasha kya kay kar rahi hain!!"

"Hmmm----huhhh' Shaan grunted in his sleep, his eyes still shut.

"Shaantanu UTHAY!! Natasha jee Mitul Jee ko galay laga rahi thee!" she said loudly, now bending over him. Shaan's eyes half opened as he registerd Khanak standing in front of him, his eyes shooting to her deep and prominent cleavage which he noticed even though nothing that she said made sense to him.

"Khanak-----" Shaan drawled, removing his eyes from Khanak's heaving chest. He did not need this at the moment. His desires rising to an optimal level. He really did not need it. "----ja kay so jaooo-----mujhay buhat neend arahee hain-----subah baat kartay hain-----" he said closing his eyes again.

"Shaantanu! Main aap say kah rahi hoom kay Natasha ji kisi aur ko galay laga rahee thee aur apko neend ki paree hain" she shook him again but Shaan did not open his eyes.

"Koi baat nahi---- Khanak----ub so jao-----" he drawled again. Khanak stood straight, extremely angry, staring at the indifferent Shaan. How could he take this so lightly? She wondered angrily. He was always SO possessive about Natasha! 'Iss ghar main sub ko HO kya gaya hain' she thought wildly, holding her waist. She turned around and marched to the other side of the room, to the other side of the bed and jumped into it beside Shaan, pulling the covers over her.

Shaan sleepily noticed in shock that Khanak was lying down beside him. He immediately got up and sat on the bed, his eyes wide open staring at Khanak's face above the covers.

"Khanak!!" he exclaimed "Yay----Yay tum kya kar rahi ho!?" he asked shocked to the core.

"Kyun?" Khanak said calmly "Agar Natasha ji kisi GAIR admi ko galay laga sakti hain aur woh 'KOI BAAT NAHI' to main toh apkee patni hoon! Mujhay yahan apkay bistar par sonay ka poora HAQ hain!" she said forcefully.

Shaan half laughed and half made a face. "Khanak----Natasha aur Mitul 'dost' hain-----" he said.

"Haan toh?! HUM bhee dost hain!" Khanak challenged. "Main yaheen so-oon gee----" she said defiantly, turning her face away.

Shaan looked at her and made a fist under the covers. Why was she doing this to him, he whined in his head. Did she not know how difficult it was to be in the same ROOM with her without wanting to hug her and now on the same BED! He'd go crazy, he really would.

Khanak's anger began to subside as she felt the comfort and familiarity of the bed. It was the first time that she felt comfortable in a bed, felt like home-----was the feeling what she thought it was? 'Nahi nahi!' she answered herself. "Yay bistar zyada narum hain----iss liyay----mujhay acha lug raha hain----aur koi wajah nahi hain----' But she even felt butterflies in her stomach. She was close to Shaan again, inches close, on the same bed. Anything could happen and the thought made her heart jump into her mouth. She was glad that she was facing away from Shaan. He would not be able to see the blush she felt creeping up on her face.

"Theek hain!" Shaan answered loudly, totally stunning Khanak and making her heart beat faster "Tumko yahan sona hain na?! Toh so jao!" he said.

"Kya?!" Khanak said sitting up in bed too.

"Haan so jao" Shaan pointed both his hands towards her side of the bed as though presenting an award to her. "Tum yahan so jao' he said simply.

Khanak's anger rose to the surface again. The burthal STILL did not accept his mistake! He was still OKAY with the fact that his fianc hugged a stranger?! "Iss ka mutlub, aap Natasha jee say baat nahi karay gay?!" she asked through gritted teeth. "Unko apni galti ka ehsaas nahi dilayay gay?!"

"Nahi" Shaan said simply shrugging his shoulders, fighting the urge to laugh as he saw Khanak getting stuck in her own plan. "Acha ub mujhay buhat neend arahee hain----toh tum bhee so jao-----main bhee so raha hoonn---" he said pointedly yawning and stretching himself. "Good neend Khanak-----aur suno light bund kardo please----" and saying that he turned his back towards Khanak. He noticed his hands were still balled, fighting the desperation to grab her and make love to her even in his half sleepy tired state. But he knew he need not worry about what would happen for he was as certain of Khanak's next move as he was of the sun rising in the next 4 hours. And sure enough.

Khanak got out of bed and threw the covers over Shaan which covered his face. "Main ja rahee hoon!"

"Light bund karna muth bhoolna" Shaan said removing the covers from his face and waving at Khanak. Khanak stamped her foot and turned to leave. "Suno Khanak----can you do me a favour-----cupboard say mujhay white wali chadar day doh-----please----mujhay thund lug rahee hain-----" he grinned.

Khanak gave him a dirty look as Shaan chuckled and turned on the bed again, closing his eyes. Khanak went over to the cupboard and found the chadar. As she was taking it out her hand lightly hit a small lidless box and automatically reached for the piece of jewel that was in it. She picked it up and looked at hard at it. A mangal sutr. Her mangal sutr.

"Kya hua chadar nahi mil rahi kya?" Shaan's voice came from a distance jerking Khanak and she removed her eyes from the mangal sutr and grabbed the chadar with her free hand again throwing it across Shaan's face. Pressing the mangal sutr in her palm, she slowly left the room, switching the light off behind her and softly closing the door.

Shaan turned and looked back at the closed door. "What's up with her?" he wondered. "I thought she'd have slammed the door in my face too! Women!" he sighed and made himself comfortable on his bed again, hoping the next time his eyes would open he'd see the light of day, not a sexy cleavage that would drive his harmones up to the highest level ever!
