Nov 5th 2012
5ish PM
K:I wanted to speak with my husband (looking at the man pointedly)
T is almost in shock, words dont form in her brain for a few minutes
S turns around slowly, then turns back again to hit a key
S:Hmmm?
K:Dadi wanted to talk with you
S: I saw she had called a few times (taps his phone)
K:Looks like you were busy (smiles)
S (shrugs) not really ( his eyes dance merrily...)
T:You are married? You guys are married?
K:Hmmm
S: Yep! (looking at his wife)
T:How come I didnt know (trying to force a smile)
K's turn to shrug "I am not sure" (indifferent) "i dont know many things"
S: I agree! (softly)
T:Gujral you have been keeping secrets (accusing)
S: Nah! (casually quickly cloaking that brief moment of undercurrent exchange with wife)
K: Aap karenge phone?
S:Ghar jaakar
T:How long have you guys been married?
K: Over a year?
S:Almost TWO
T walks up and down S's cube almost like she was interrogating them
S:Are you headed home?
K:Ummm..mmm
S:Kahan ja rahi ho?
K:With Ritu... Blind Relief Diwali Mela, uske car mein then later to Appna at Meharchand Mkt near Jor Bagh?
S:WHERE is the diwali thing? (annoyed),
K:I dont know... (guilty)
T has to break this pvt convo, "Congrats Khanak"
K:Kyon? (serious)
T:For patching up.
K:Oh!
T:You can say thanks (extremely jealous)
K:Hmmm (vague)
T tries to figure out, tries to fathom, HOW in the world an unglamorous, dork like her could land a hottie like Gujral. It defies all logic acc to her
S:Is Krit going?
K:Nahi
S:Does she know where this mela is?
K:I am hoping (giggles)
S: Wonderful! (rolls his eyes)
Pause
S:rishi Batra is in town, I am going out for a drink
K:Oh! Tell him I said hi! Its been so long... (sighs)
S:Tell him urself, he wants to meet for dinner tomm (firm)
K:Aap Dadi ko phone karenge?
S:Only if you promise to take ur car, and call me when you start headin home
K:I wont be late (sulks)
T:guys! I shud just let you two chat
FINALLY!
K:No! I am leaving (turns around to leave)
S: Bhayya wanted some hand crafted something, did he tell you
K:Hmmm
T:Your mehandi looks great Khanak.
K:thanks, I got it for karwa chauth
T:Your first?
K:Second...
S: I will call you later?
K:Jee
T lingers hoping for God knows what...
S: Did you meet with Sabina?
K:Hmmm
S looks at T, she wont budge
K: Ritu must be waiting
S: Ujju wants something, shes written to you she claims
K:Maine apna email check nahi kiya aaj
S:Really?! (theatrically)(shakes his head)
K:Hmmm😳
Walks away, turns around to look at him, he is looking at her, she meets his eyes briefly and is gone
T looks like she was just told some one stole her winning lottery ticket

vasant Vihar
5th November
She tiptoes into her room, the house is unlit, quiet.
She wonders if he is asleep
she sets her bags on her bed, takes a quick shower, wears her knee length sleeveless shirt of a dress with images of a penguin sipping eggnog in the middle of the arctic...
Ties her hair up high, removes her bags from bed, lays down
Tosses and turns... "I calle dhim at 10:30, he was up then" "How can he sleep so early" "Did Trish's sobbing drain him of all energy?" she giggles childishly...
Ritu had hugged her and squealed whn she had told her about the scene in Shantanu's cube
Is too tired to stay awake, yet not tired enough to sleep
Gets up tip toes back to husband's room, walks over to the bed...checks the clock, its almost midnite...
Walks up to the bed...he is asleep, on his side...
Runs her hands over his back, creeps to the front " And this is how it feels"
He is warm, yet firm... no sign of stubble... "smells like aftershave"
Rubs her nose on his chin cleft
bends... blows in his ear "THIS is how it feels"
Slowly kisses his sideburns "THIS is how it feels"😳😳
He swiftly, grabs her and pins her on to the bed "I can show you how everything else feels" slides over her😳
