Part 93
Shaan enters into a dark room, he knew that Khanak wouldn't sleep until he returned..He was late tonight, after his talk in the morning, he had gone out with Aayush for Aayush's entertainment, after that he had to rush to hospital for some urgency..Now he's late..And to top that she was upset, he didn't have any idea as to how he should talk to her about the topic..
He cursed in his mind, did this had to happen now itself?? When we are deciding about our future?? Kash main Khanak se keh pata ki, to just let go off the issue..For now he's wondering where is she?? He had got the good news from his brother itself! Shaan was happy for his brother! Now is the time where Shaan could learn how to take care of pregnant Khanak! She usually throw tantrums on each and every day, when she conceives may be the list might get longer..This thought brings a huge smile on his face..
Shaan: Khanak! Are you in there?? (calls out for her)
At the next moment, a small hand clamps his mouth, well..he very well knows the hand..Khanak had to cpmpletely lean on his back, stood on her toes to reach his mouth from back..
Khanak: sshhh!!
Shaan tries to open his mouth to talk, but Khanak is not ready to leave his mouth, he pulls her hand making her to face him, Khanak is not surprised, but before he could open his mouth she places her index finger of right hand on his lips, pulls him by her left hand, so now they are completely into the room, door is open, but Shaan and Khanak are not visible from the door way..
Shaan: Khanak! Ho kya raha hain?? (whispers)
Khanak: actually who..tum itne late kyun aaye??
Shaan: main..
Khanak: forget it! Yeh sab na Aayush ke liye..waise bhi yeh sab tumhari wajah se! (hisses)
Shaan: meri wajah se! (bit louder)
Khanak: sshhh! Chillao mat! And yes its all because of you! Kissne kaha tha late aane ko?? Aayush was not ready to sleep until you say good night to him! Pata nahi kya zaddoo karke rakha hain? I had never seen him behave like this for me..
Shaan: (chuckles slightly) jealous ha?!
Khanak: haan kuch aisa hi hain! (suddenly the light goes on)
Aayush: Mom! Maine pakad liya! (jumps and claps, Shaan smiles at his son's gesture) Papa aap aagaye!
Runs and hugs him..Shaan hugs him back.
Aayush: Aur mom aap phirse haar gayi! (shows his tongue)
Khanak turns away from them, acting like as though she's upset..Shaan and Aayush looks at each other twitches their lips in the next moment..Aayush is in front of Khanak!
Aayush: sorry mom! Main toh sirf mazaak kar raha tha! (holds his ears)
This brings a smile on her face, she bends down and hug, he smiles and winks at his papa..
Shaan: guys mere liye jagah kaha hain?! How can you forget about me?! (mock sad)
Khanak: Shaan! (Khanak and Aayush rush to him and hugs him, Khanak on the left side of his chest and Aayush on the right side of his waiste, Shaan hugs them back)
Shaan: achcha aap logon ne khaana kha liya??
Aayush: maine kha liya, mom ne abhi tak kiya nahi hain..
Shaan: why?? (looks at Khanak)
Aayush: simple, mom was waiting for you..
Khanak knows he'll be super angry, that she was just waiting for him..
Khanak: (before Shaan could scold her) haan toh abhi karthe hain na..(fumbles and then runs out of the room)
Shaan shakes his head..
Aayush: chalo papa aap khaana khaalo, main chaltha hun, mujhe neend aa rahi hain..(rubs his eyes)
Shaan: (bends down, gives a peck on his forehead and mouthes) Good night!
Aayush gets back to his room, Shaan freshens up..Khanak enters back with food, places it on the table, and starts to arrange it on the table..Meanwhile Shaan shuts the door and hugs her from back..
Khanak: kya baat hain, aaj khana nahi khaana hain..(placing her hands on his hands on her tummy)
Shaan: hmm..i thought u were upset..(his eyes closed, his chin resting on her shoulder)
Khanak: kyun? (clueless)
Shaan: arrey bhool gayi?! The whole Dhruv thing..?!(opens his eyes)
Khanak: Shaan mujhe bhook lag rahi hain, chalo khaana khaate hain..(releases herself from his grip, serves the food for him)
Shaan: Khanak what's wrong?? (he makes her keep the plate back and makes her sit on the couch, she faces him)
Shaan: you don't want to talk about it??
Khanak: aisa nahi hain Shaan! I mean its his life! Agar Nitya is jealous of me, I seriously can't do a thing about it but to just stay away from Dhruv..I know I've caused enough grief in his life and now I don't think so mere interference usse achcha nahi lagega..i mean..he would never want that, so its done, decided that im not a part of his life anymore aur mujhe pata hain ki meri friend bahut samajhdhaar hain and he can get easily away with this issue..(she smiles at the last)
Shaan: agar tumhe tumhari sawaloon ka jawab mil gaya tha, then why did you tell me about these things? Bekaar main pareshaan ho gaya tha..(twitches his lips and bends his head)
Khanak: dhruv ke liye?! (jokes)(giggles)
Shaan: (hits her on her forehead) tumhare liye!
Khanak: ouch! (rubs her head)
Shaan: nautanki! (grins) (She smiles back too and both of them share a side hug)
Khanak: bhook!
Shaan chuckles and both eat their dinner together.
Few weeks had passed, Khanak is found mostly with Khushboo for her needs, she had to rearrange her schedule, and had to work as a duty doctor, which Shaan didn't like! Shaan would have loved to see her handling her own clinic..But Khanak was adamant, she loved to do what she had in mind, and the thing in her mind won't be influenced by anyone..That, Shaan knew, but also insisted that she should start taking her career seriously..
Khanak: haan toh main kaha mazaak kar rahi ho? (shrugs) see now I get to involved in all the surgeries, lectures that's going to take place..don't you think im lucky?! (she would smile gloriously and run away from him)
Shaan didn't like that..He knew, that she was waiting for the news! But she didn't go high on checking every week with tests..She waited. This worried Shaan
One morning, Shaan wokes up as the morning rays hits his face, he peers through his eyes slowly, but is surprised to see the other side of bed is empty, he sits on the bed, he can't hear shower, he wonders where she is? There's a letter on the bed side table, takes it and slowly reads..
Its from Khanak, informing that she's running to the hospital as there was a whipple sugery going on a child, and she had managed to scrub in, Shaan shakes his head in disbelief..But now gets up, freshens up, looks for Aayush, wakes him up and gets him ready, both of them head to breakfast..
Shaan: Good morning dadi, mom!
Aayush simply goes and hug both of the women..
Dadi: good morning!
Madhvi: Shaan, Khanak kaha hain??
Shaan: Mom, she's left early for a surgery..
Dadi: itni subah..?
Shaan nods and takes his seat next to Aayush's..
Madhvi: I think she didn't have her breakfast too..aise kaise chalega?? (worried)
Shaan: Mom, don't worry she must be having something from caf..
Dadi: not done Shaan..She didn't have her dinner properly too..
Shaan: why? (startled)
Dadi: pata nahi, she told she'll be having with Khushboo, but her plate was untouched..
Madhvi: pata nahi iss ladki ka kya karein..
Aayush: mom can go heights to get feed me up, but she won't look at herself..
Shaan is more furious now, but he's just being calm in front of the family..
Shaan: Mom, I'll drop Aayush and then talk with Khanak..(finishing up and getting up)
Aayush and Shaan both bid bye to the ladies and left the house..
Khanak is walking along the corridors, she's not that good, she was feeling sweaty all throught out the operation, it was a 6 hour operation, it didn't matter her, she was used to satnding for many hours, but today was different..And now there was a strange pain at her abdomen region, she concludes it as a hunger pang..She takes a seat by the wall, not able to walk any more she bnds her head down, holds her head wit both of her hands..She can see a water bottle at her sight, she lifts her head slowly, as it has started to spinning now..Its Raj! She's unable to smile at him, he takes the seat next to her..
Raj: paani pee le nahi toh..(not allowing him to utter, she grabs the bottle and drinks up)
She slumps back and leans her head on the wall, shuts her eyes..Raj gives her the time to settle back..
After about 10 mins, she opens her eyes and turns to Raj, he's busy looking into his phone, she smiles slowly..
Khanak: kya keh rahi hain??
Raj looks startled at her..Raj: nahi kuch nahi..(shakes his head vehemently)
Khanak: achcha?? (her eyes are not twinkling)
Raj: god! You look sick! Ghar ja. (orders)
Khanak:hmm..(no strength to argue or for the actual teasing)
Khanak: don't mind..Ghar chodega kya??
Raj: pagal ho gayi hain! Utt..(literally lifts her up, she drinks water after every few seconds but she walks herself to the locker room, gets her things out and Raj drops her to the home)
Madhvi, dadi and Khushboo are in full attendance, Raj explains the whole thing, they are furious at her, Khanak wants to sleep..
Madhvi: not before you eat anything!
Dadi: haan beta pehle khalo baad main so jana..
They make her eat up all the food and she's transferred to her room, Raj has left, Khanak is tucked into her quilt and is lost in her dreamland..
Shaan enters back at his usual time, evening hour, when he enters his room, is surprised to see Khanak. He had tried to call her, but he was not able to get her. But looking at her sleeping form surprises him, he shakes his head, he smiles and shakes his head, enters in, sits on the bed, since she's turning towards him, he lounges in the bed and leans his head on the headboard..
Shaan: kya baat hain Mrs. Khandelwal aaj itni jaldi aa gaye aap..aur who bhi bed main, not bad ha..im liking it..(he leans more forward to her, but he's disturbed by Aayush)
Aayush: papa aap aagaye..kya aapko pata tha ki mom ki tabiyaat kharaab hain..mujhe toh abhi abhi pata chala..(sad, which makes Shaan stunned)
Shaan: kya? (looks at Aayush and then to Khanak)
Shaan checks her forehead, she doesn't have any fever, he leaves a long sigh..Shaan holds Aayush by his arms..
Shaan: aapko kissne kaha ki mom ki tabiyaat kharaab hain?
Aayush: dadi ne..(looks at his mom, she's sleeping soundlessly)
Shaan wonders has to what is wrong with her..
Madhvi enters with harilal with some food..
Madhvi: arrey Shaan beta tum aa gaye?? (smiles)
Shaan: ya mom! But what's wrong with Khanak (stands up, while Aayush sits next to his mom, Aayush is worried)
Madhvi: kuch nahi beta, she had not eaten right, she was feeling dizzy, don't worry she must be fine now, dekho kitni achchi tareeke se so rahi hain..(looks at her bahu)
Shaan: who toh hain..i guess I have to line her up for tests..(looks at his wife too)
Aayush is now sleeping next to her and his one hand his around her, Shaan moves to Aayush..
Shaan just ruffles his hair fondly, Madhvi tells harilal to keep the food and both of them leave the room..
The next morning, Shaan is walking next to Khanak..Khanak is tried convincing him that she was fine and all, but Shaan was adamant for her to get the tests done..
