S:When are you going to start saying my name again?
Suddenly brings her back to the earth, her problems their separation, his lack of concern for anything other than his own career...
She goes limp...
He senses that and nuzzles for a minute
S:Khanak?
K:Hmm?
S: Kya hua?
She opens her eyes and traces his crease, smiles fondly... "Your name and your face are absolutely unique"
"Aapke naam ko main kaise bhool sakti hoon?"
He notices one big fat tear roll down from one of her eye.
She quickly sits up and fixes her clothing, pulls her blouse down... looks every where for her scarf...
Its obviously tucked in his pocket...
He is looking at her stunned...
S:Bhool nahi sakti to kaho...
She looks at her hands... they are close to his... his are strong... big and well groomed... hers pretty and soft...
Her foot is resting on his like old times...
He waits for it to be gone...
He gently places his other foot on it and imprisons it...
Her skirt is well over her thigh...
Their skin tones contrast on the couch...
He watches her face take on the warm glow as his her foot becomes a prisoner...
"I dont care for the Hindi movie, I can wait all nite long... if you want ur foot back, say my name"
She leans on the arm rest, near his elbow...His face is close but not touching...
"I might just have to chop it off"
Saying so she smiles...
"Fine! If thats the way you want it"
Dad is anxious to come over again" he says looking at her
"yaha kaha rukenge?" panics
"I will have to move to ur room ofcourse"
Bends down and speaks in her ear, as if its a secret
Her heart pounds painfully against her ribs
This was her last defence, her last wall of protection.
Acceding would be the most delicious delightful thing
Her heart ached to give in, her body hungered for him
They would go back to having s--- 5 times a day like they used to...
He would "assume" she would go return to Mumbai
"He would assume all else"
The front door bell rings
He looks at the door and retruns to rest on her face
"Apple care!" she jumps up in panic
He pulls her skirt
"Chhodiye"
"Mere liye kabhi itni enthisiastic hui?"
"Nahi" she says quite bluntly
Ouch! he nurses his wounds
Jamuna peeks from the passage way, her husband is laying down completely, eyes shut, arms folded across his chest...
K: Main dekhti hoon (to Jamuna)
J disappears
She opens the door, its the repair guy, well dressed personable, smiling
She lets him in
The guy pauses waiting for Shaan to open his eyes, he wont
She nudges his shoulder "Uthiye"
"Your PC needs to be fixed, not ME!"
She turns red, as the guy smiles
Her husband opens his eyes, sits up, shakes hands
"Where is your PC Maam?"
"In my room"
"I mean in this room" points to her room
He wonders if he should go
She looks at her hubby
"He can spread out in the study " firmly
"I want chai" she complains loudly and goes into her room to grab the PC
She gives it to the guy
The guy sets up in the study
She picks up stuff lying around the study as she notices the Apple guy's horrified expression, there are pictures and maps strewn every where...
Camera, camera equipment...
she goes to the door of the stufy and places her hands on her hips and says "Youve made a mess here"
He chuckles and says "Thanks"
"I am not cleaning it again"
"Hmmm"
Busy texting...
Jamuna brings her chai
"Apko kaise maloom?" she smiles gladly accepting it
Jamuna points to her husband, not knowing how they are related she says "Sir ne bola"
She smiles secretly...
She offers the guy a cup
Her husband is having his second drink or the first she is not sure...
She sets hers on the end table by the couch, he goes to pour some into her cup "You are too jumpy you need to relax"
"DONT you dare..." she hisses
He tilts it more...
Please" she squeals
the repair guy peeks from the study...
"Sit by me"
"You are crazy"
"I dont think so" (looks at her)
She picks up her cup hastily... and retreats to her room, showers, changes into jeans and a white tee...
Her husband is on the swing, working on his laptop, and on the phone... the repair guy seems lost... he brings CD's and USB's in and out and in...
"Meri movie?" she stands by the French windows and demands
"Did I promise one?"
"Ughhh forget it"
"Ask me nicely" he says as she is turning around
"Nahi"
"then we stay home and watch sci-fi..." smug
"then I go to Ritu's and stay out the nite"
"Do that, it will give me time to go thru your PC and copy all your files" grins devilishly😉😆😃
She flings the curtain towards his drink, it sways but retracts just before it hits the liquid gold...😭😭😭
