Part 22

22^nd January 2011 08:15 PM

Shaan looked at Khanak as though she was mad. Did she realize what she was saying? And then suddenly, out of the blue, a major thought hit him. Did Khanak remember that they had a husband wife relationship? The question instantly bothered him as he made a mental note to call up Mitul in a while.

"Hi guys!" Mitul entered the house as Hari Lal moved back to the kitchen after opening the door for him. Natasha turned to look at him and hoped her blush was not too prominent. Mitul came and made himself comfortable on the sofa beside Natasha, his face calm and expressionless as though nothing of much significance had happened that day. He smiled at the family and pressed Natasha's palm lovingly after glancing at her. Shaan shook his head in a Mitul-ka-kuch-nahi-hosakta way. "Tayyar hogaee?" he asked looking in Natasha's direction properly finally. Natasha and the whole family looked confused. "We're going for a long drive—" Mitul explained to the family. "Mainay socha---ermmm---Tasha ko ermm---ghumanay lay jaoo----ermmm----" he said embarrassed.

"God Mitul she is your wife! You can do anything with her! You don't need to TELL all of us---and then be embarrassed about it ----" Shaan said disgruntedly rolling his eyes and immediately giving his mother a significant angry look.

Mitul seemed to notice Shaan's frustration but said nothing and instead raised his eyebrows in Natasha's direction who gave him a I'll-tell-you-later look. "Okay ermm chalo phir----" he said getting up.

"Mitul jee----" Khanak started.

"Bha----"Mitul said immediately looking at her. "Err Bhabhi aap mujhay 'Bha' kah sakti hain---" he said. He smiled uncertainly, waiting apprehensively for Khanak to react.

Khanak seemed to be taken aback a bit. She looked at Shaan who smiled at her heartily. She then looked at Mitul and smiled as though the smile had been transferred from Shaan onto her lips. "Mitul BHA---' she stressed on the word 'bha' " Aapp dono khanay kay liyay nahi rukay gay?" she asked looking at both Shaan and Natasha.

"Khanak! Jaanay dohh unko! Wohh humari tarah thoree na hain! Kahh shadi kay baad bhee----alag rehna paray----" Shaan said looking at Khanak mildly annoyed. Khanak pouted.Mitul smiled at her, feeling a lump in his throat.

"Okay byeee guys see you----" Shaan waived. Both Natasha and Mitul left hand in hand as Madhvi got up to order Hari Lal to set the dinner tabl. ("Khanak you stay where you are!" she said.)

____________________________________________________________________________________

Shaan was told that he was to stay in the third guest room that night and when he had protested that it was being renovated and hence he had no option BUT to spend the night in his own room, Sunil told him that it would be good if Shaan would have had a look around the house he lived in. The room was NOT being renovated at all and it was just a clever ruse of Natasha's who had tried her utmost for Khanak to move into Shaan's room. Shaan had looked at his father in horror, not sure whether he felt shocked or warm at his friend's loyalty.

Khanak had shyly entered her room hich looked like a whole new world to her. She felt excited when she saw the bed and blushed deeply at how, just after a few more days she would be sharing the bed with Shaan in the true sense. Her disappointement at having to wait to make her marriage a real one in the true sense had subsided a bit when she realized that the staying apart was a significant part of finally coming together.

22^nd January 2011 11:00 PM

"If only she KNEW that we have stayed apart for MONTHS now!" Shaan said to himself in the living room that night as though reading Khanak's thoughts. "IF ONLY!" he said as he flicked the channels of the television, thouroughly annoyed. He looked above his shoulder. Madhvi was still strolling around the corridor talking merrily to her friend Sonali on the phone. Urghh! Shaan thought. Why can't she talk tomorrow morning?! 'She's keeping an eye on you, my friend!' his conscience told him. 'Haven't I told you enough of times to SHUT UP!' he shot back at his conscience. "I mean she LOVES me! I love her! What should be stopping us?!" he asked himself again. His mind drifted to the realization he had had a while back about Khanak not remembering about their relationship. Ofcourse she didn't remember! Why else would she want to get married again?! Shaan sighed. " Trust me beta a day will come when you will realize that Khanak's memory coming back was never the core issue!" his mom had told him. And as he thought again of the depth of his mother's words he realized that he was bothering for nothing. Nothing at all. Khanak had FALLEN in love with him much before she had remembered that she loved him and he knew that. HE HIMSELF had fallen in love with her all over again and he knew that too. Then WHAT was stopping him? Nothing! He said to himself again. Nothing, he smiled naughtily.'I want to start afresh with Khanak—I had WANTED to start afresh since the time I found out about her memory---And NOW is the time to finally take the step---- Ahh now Is the time to break some rasams Shaantanu Khandelwal' he said getting up and walking to the third guest room yawning widely and making it a point that his mother saw him.

22^nd January 2011 11:30 PM

Khanak lay on the bed trying to read her advanced English book in the light of the lamp but smiling randomly looking at the pages. Suddenly she felt really stupid for agreeing to Madhvi's 'parampara' of staying separately till the wedding. "Balkay yay puri dobara say shadi karna hee ek stupid baat thee! " she said to herself and pouted. "Theek hee toh kah rahay thay Shaantanu! Humaree shadi toh HO chuki hain! Hum patni patni hain----" she said logically to herself then blushed. "Wohh aur baat hain kay humnay----humnay-----" and she stopped speaking as she smiled to herself again and looked down shyly as though Shaan was there with her. "Kaash abhee who meray samnay hotay----" she closed her book, closed her eyes and smiled.

"Aur kuch maang leti toh shayad who bhee mil jaata----" a bold husky voice came from a distance and Khanak's eyes opened in a flash as her smile widened. Shaan was standing at the doorway, hands folded and looking at her with a naughty expression in his eyes. Khanak got out of her bed and took two steps towards him, then stopped abruptly, looking down smiling again. A bizarre sensation arose in her stomach which she knew had nothing to do with her fall on the steps that morning. Her feet got glued to the floor and she started fidgeting with her hands as Shaan just stood there, looking at her smiling calmly, hands still folded. Finally he took a step inside the room making it a cue for Khanak's heart beat to rise tenfold as though Shaan's step was a button to be clicked making her heart react that way. " Khanak----mainay kaha na----aur kuch hee mang laitee----" he said again as he turned to close the door. Khanak saw his hand travel to the door lock at the top left of the door and that's when she began to feel weak in the knees. 'What did Shaantanu have on his mind?' she thought her mind beginning to go a bit numb now but she managed a shy smile inspite of what she saw Shaan doing.

"Shayad main aur kuch maangna hee nahi chahti thee---" she said feeling her cheeks getting heated. Shaan was not prepared for such a come back from Khanak. He laughed. That is what he had grown to fall in love with about her. The fact that she was so unpredictable when it came to romance. Not knowing how to answer this statement of hers he strode towards her and before Khanak could register what exactly Shaan was about to do, he had come over her and kissed her hard on the lips, Khanak automatically opening her mouth in shock and making it easier for Shaan to do his job as he kissed her ferociously and deeply. He withdrew very quickly and smacked his lips looking down at Khanak who looked like she was about to fall.

"This is what I shall do when you render me toungue tied with your wit---" Shaan said in a whisper close to Khanak's ear and grabbing her waist.

Khanak pushed him back after she came back to her senses but Shaan did not let go of her waist. "Shaantanu—kya kar rahay hain----Mummy jee----nay humay alag rehnay ko kaha hain----" she said struggling half heartedly to free herself from Shaan's grip. She had enjoyed the kiss , albeit only 5 seconds, but she had enjoyed it. If the first kiss that she had shared with Shaantanu was a bomb then this one was pure dynamite! She thought.

"Mummy jee so rahee hain----aur HUM shadi shuda hain!" Shaan said bringing his face forward to kiss Khanak again who made use of Shaan's lose hold on her arms and finally wriggled free grinning and taking three steps away from him. Predictably Shaan got hold of Khanak's sari's pallu. "Tum chahtee ho na----kay main pura filmy hojaoo----sari kay pallu kahinchoo----tumhay peechay khainchoo----" he said as he pulled Khanak's pallu and she came slowly back into his arms, though this time her long hair was towards Shaan's face as he grabbed her waist again, his hands travelling on her bare stomach which Khanak slapped away, making him withdraw them but slowly enveloping her waist again so that she had no escape. "Kya zaroorat thee----PHIRSAY shaadi karnay ki rut laganay ki---" he said in her ear. "Khud bhee phansee aur mujhay bhee----" his voice turned breathless again "mujhay bhee phansa diya----"

Khanak turned in his arms to face him. Shaan took the opportunity to pull her closer. "Aray mujhay kya pata tha---inn sub rasamo ka! App tohh aisay bole rahay hain jiasay MERA kasoor tha---" she said mildly annoyed.

"Pata HONA chahiyay tha!Ub dekho---hum dono mil bhee nahi payay gay----pata nahi pandit konsi date daita hain shaadi ki----" he said.

"Acha! Toh uss main bhee mera hee kasoor hoga! Agar dobara shaadi nahi karni thee toh mummy jee say kaha kyun?" she asked widening her huge eyes vehemently and taking herself out of Shaan's grasp again.

"Galti hogaee meri maa!" Shaan said loudly, pressing both his hands together in forgiveness. "Tumko abhee bhee larai sooj rahee hain! Ek to main tumsay milnay aya hoon-----aur tum----tum---" Shaan said disappointed. Khanak folded her hands and turned. Then she glanced at Shaan and smiled at his pouting face.

"Sorry---" she said pounting too.

Shaan grinned and came closer to her. He looked at her face, her large eyes and her long hair. Khanak looked at him too, his adorableness, his determination, his face which had suddenly turned serious. Shaan held Khanak's arms and kissed her forhead making Khanak's eyes close. He kissed her left temple and moved down to her cheek slowly. Slowly kissing her was what she had liked best, he recalled. Khanak smiled, her eyes still closed as Shaaan's lips palyed havoc on her cheek then moved to her lips, this time slowly, kissing her lower lip first, then her upper lip and then wholly as his mouth met hers. That is when Khanak shivered at the touch of his lips onto hers and then just as slowly responded to their desires. It was not a kiss of hunger that was when Shaan had grabbed Khanak on the terrace in the rain.It was a slow passionate kiss of love, a kiss of understanding, a kiss of the patience Shaan had shown and the agony he had gone through for months. And as all these thoughts came rushing back to them, they realized that they needed this at this stage. No rasam, no other tradition would come in the way of their love tonight. Shaan's mouth moved slowly towards Khanak's neck as he trailed kisses there as Khanak tilted her head moaning softly and made space. Shaan took her mangal sutr between his teeth as he continued to kiss Khanak moving towards her collar bone. Khanak shivered in shock at the experience Shaan seemed to have, how he seemed to know exactly what she liked. When Shaan felt Khanak's knees going weak he lifted her in a jiffy making Khanak gasp. He took her to the bed and made her lie down, closing the light of the lamp as he did. Khanak closed her eyes knowing what was to follow next. Shaan removed her pallu and touched her stomach and caressed it slowly.

"Ahhh!" Khanak cried in agony. Shaan withdrew immediately.

"Kya hua?" he asked worried in the darkness of the room.

"Kuch nahi----wohh mujhay---mujhy pait main halka sa dard hain----" she said.

Shaan sat on the bed and switched on the lamp. Khanak hastily put her pallu back in place, feeling shy.

"Kaha dard hain?" he asked worried, all thought of intimacy rushing away from his mind as he attempted to touch Khanak's stomach. "Kub say hain?!" he asked worried, his mind working at top speed reaching a conclusion.

"Kuch dino say hain----char paanch din----yaha" she pointed to the lower part of her stomach and saw Shaantanu look at the place in shock. "Aisee koi baat nahi hain----Kuch nahi hain Shaantanu---who main mandir ki seeryon par gir gayee thee---iss liyay---aur zyada----"

"KYA! Tumko char paanch dino say dard hain toh tumnay MUJHAY kyun nahi bataya!" Shaan asked furiously. She'd always come to him whenever her stomach felt weird when she was pregnant. "Mera mutlub hain----tumnay MOM ko kyun nahi bataya-----ya dadi ko-----aur tum mandir ki seeryon say KUB giri thee!!"

"Ajj---" Khanak said in a soft voice, feeling bad for the trouble she was causing because of a stupid pain.

Shaan pushed his hair back worried. A thousand thoughts ran in his head. Why was the lower portion of Khanak's stomach hurting. Geeta had told him that there was nothing to worry about as far as Khanak's gynaechology was concerned. But then what was this? Shaan got up from the bed and looked at a confused Khanak.

"Kya hua Shaantanu? " she asked uncertainly. Shaan gulped. How was he to tell her what was going on in her body without revealing the news of the baby to her? He just looked at her completely at a loss for words.

"Khanak ----mujhay ---mujhay lagta hain Mom uth gaee---- "Mujhay awaaz arahee hain-----mujhay guest room main jana chahiyay----warna phans jayay gay----" he said without meeting her eyes.

Khanak looked down and nodded disappointedly. It was clear that she had freaked Shaan out with her sudden stab of pain. It wasn't even hurting anymore! She thought miserably. Shaan gave her one last look, a small smile, opened the latch and left the room closing the door behind him.

23rd January 2011 12:30 AM

Mitul removed an arm from around a sleeping Natasha's waist and groped sleepily in the dark for his phone that had begun to ring really loudly. Finally his hand touched it and he received it without looking at the ID of the call.

"Yes---" he drawled sleepily.

"Mitul---" Shaan said at the other end.

"Shaan?!" Mitul said urgently sitting up straight in bed. "Kya hua?"

"Ermm I'm sorry Mitul ---wohh itni raat ko----ermmm" Shaan started.

"Shaan WHAT happened?" Mitul said loudly, making it clear that Shaan was not supposed to beat about the bush. Natasha shoved in her sleep.

Shaan took a deep breath. "Wohh buss---mujhay poochna tha----jub Khanak hospital main thee----did you get her ultrasounds done?"

"Yeaa----the reports will come tomorrow----along with the other tests---Geeta will know----" he said swiftly. "Kya hua? That's it?"

"Yea----pretty much----"Shaan tried to evade the question.

Mitul frowned. "Shaan?" he said.

"Yea?----" Shaan replied.

"I hope--- for your sake and bhabhi's sake-----" Mitul paused the continued. "You're sleeping in the guest room?---"

Shaan twisted his mouth. It was amazing how doctors freaking well knew EVERYTHING about your life, he thought! "Yea---" he said.
