Part 21

Shaan was also tensed equally, but for some reason he found Khanak silent, she has not said a word after that, suddenly her cell rang, she received, its Dr. Lata, Lata had called her to ask where she was, she had told her she would reaching as possible as she can.

Shaan (is driving): Khanak, does Aayush is suffering… (slowly)

Khanak: he gets scared when he sees an accident or even if he hear a screech of any car…

Shaan: you should have told it na Khanak, we would have been careful with that…

Khanak: I thought he had got over it, but…

After that Shaan becomes silent as he senses that she wanted to remain silent…. They had reached hospital, Akshay and Khushboo were standing outside, they were tensed too, Khanak and Shaan went near them…

Khushboo: we are so sorry Khanak, pata nahi kya hua, she suddenly started to shiver, we didn't know what to do… (worried)

Khanak: its ok bhabhi, you don't have to ask sorry (holds her hand and assures her) is Dr. Lata inside?

Akshay: haan Khanak jab se andhar gayi, she's not yet come out… (worried too)

At that time nurse enterd and told they can see him, all of them entered, Aayush was on the bed, he was not pierced for IV fluids thankful to that, but he was kept warm.Khanak went and sat near him, holded his hand, which was now warm… Aayush opened his eyes he was happy to see his mom beside him…

Aayush: Mom!! Aap aagaye!! (his eyes lit up) Khanak keeps her palm on his cheek..

Khanak: I think I never left you!! (smiles)

Aayush: mom can I get a hug!! Khanak smiles at him, he slowly gets up, she hugs him, she caresses his head…. Shaan, Akki, boo witness this and are relieved that he's normal now… Khanak moves out of the hug, cups his face…

Khanak: kya hua Aayush?? Did you hear a car screech?? Aayush nods sweetly…

Khanak: You saw them getting scared?? Aayush nods in affirmation…

Khanak: Mom Dad ki yaad aayi?? (her Bhaiyya and Bhabhi)

Aayush: nahi!! Aapki yaad aayi!! (Khanak hugs him tightly, her tears come out, which she had controlled for a long time, she wipes it furiously, as she didn't wanted him to know that even she was scared by his action…

Aayush looks at Akki and boo, they are smiling at him, he releases himself…

Aayush: Sorry uncle, aunty, mere wajah se…

Khushboo: arrey nahi, if your doing well that's enough for us (smiles)

Aayush: Mom mujhe bhook lagi hai… Khanak checks the intercom, it was not working properly. She moves out with Dr. Lata, Shaan follows them. Shaan is beside Khanak…

Lata: Khanak u know what he's going through…

Khanak: yes!! But you had assured that he was fine…

Lata: (stops for a minute, even Khanak and Shaan stops) Khanak I found him fine because you were with him for all 24 hours, now I don't think so he's getting so much time from you… Khanak look, im not telling you to spend all 24 hrs with him, but he needs you at some time, so please take care… (she leaves)

Khanak was shattered, she sits down on the chair shattered, a lone tear escaped from her eye… Shaan being caring, seats himself next to her, keeps a hand on her shoulder…

Shaan: Khanak sab kuch teek ho jayega…

Khanak: I was so wrong Shaan!! I thought he needed some space, but he just waned me, and he didn't even tell me (chokes up, tears flow freely) pata hai Shaan, when this used happen when im around, he used to close his eyes tightly, but his confident lied in me, and I didn't even get that, im such a horrible mother, main Aayush ki zaroorat nahi samjhpayi, you had told that we can join them, but i… (tears flowing easily, which she had holded upon) How ridiculous is that… (covers her face with her hands)

Shaan: Khanak!! Calm down… look at me (makes her look at him, her eyes have become red) you're a good mother, issliye Aayush believes in you, iss baar galathi hogayi, but next time we shouldn't make it happen, we'll take care…(holds her hand and assures her) Khanak looks up at him, he's smiling, she smiles in between her tears and nods…

Khanak: lekin Shaan, this is not proper, I can't allow him to get scared, each time he gets on the road (worried)

Shaan: that's right!! Don't worry we'll think about something… Khanak nods, but she's in deep thought.

Shaan: toh Aayush ke liye kuch khaane ko le chalein???

Khanak smiles and tells the nurse to bring him soup. They both returns to the ward.Sunil, Madhvi and Dadi had come over to the hospital, to see Aayush, Aayush is smiling and laughing with them…

Khanak thanks them for coming, Aayush's soup also comes, Aayush refuses to eat… All the Khandelwal's decide to give them privacy but not Shaan… They leave but Shaan decides to stay the night with them, he seats himself on the chair, in the room…

Khanak convinces Aayush to eat, while eating he starts to talk animatedly, making Khanak and Shaan laugh. She gave him the medicine, which was prescribed by Lata, he takes it, and sleeps holding her hand, Khanak sits near his pillow, she's caressing his head, pecks him on his forehead…

Suddenly, Shaan places a plate in front of her, which had sandwiches in it. Khanak looks at him with a confused expression, Shaan is smiling. Khanak slowly places Aayush's hand down, oves away from him with Shaan, to not disturb him…

Shaan: Khanak kuch khalo, tumne afternoon se teek se kuch kaya nahi hai…

Khanak makes a face for eating the sandwich, she's about to tell him that she's not hungry, but…

Shaan (cuts in): nahi koi bahana nahi chalega… Makes her eat forcefully, Khanak gives him another sandwich, both of them eat silently…

Shaan: toh mera dinner date kaisa laga?? (whispers)

Khanak: bahut bura tha!! (she goes towards Aayush and seats herself next to him and dozes off to sleep)

Shaan smiles at her, looks at her and Aayush, till now they were not guarded but from now on I(Shaan) promise to be with them in all joys and sorrows (promises silently)

Morning, Aayush was discharged, Khanak and Shaan took him home, there he was welcomed by Khanak's friends…

Dhruv (takes Aayush from Khanak's arms): arrey Aayush kya hogaya aapko?? Shaayad aapki mom paranta nahi bana rahi hai, issliye aap shaayad kamzor hogaya ho… Even Misha and Raj agrees with him, Shaan is standing at look at them, Khanak shakes her head at her friends, but she's happy that Aayush was back to normal…. She's about to go in, but Aayush calls her…

Aayush: mom aapne promise kiya tha, that you'll take me out...(Aayush comes down from Dhruv's arms, he takes Khanak's hand and seats himself on the couch, makes Khanak also sits, all are looking at the duo)

Khanak: ok!! (slowly) where do you want to go… Aayush smiles naughtily amd looks at all of them with the same smile. All of them are confused…

Aayush: farmhouse!!! Khanak's friends all break into broad smile…

Misha: wohi farmhouse na which is 2hrs from Mumbai, and its filled with greenery (excited)

Raj: arrey haan!! How can we forget that place, Khanak's parents used to arrange diwali parties na!! it was so much fun!!

Dhruv: I tho love the roads, ek traffic bhi nahi, aur zyaada vehicles bhi nahi honge, haan Khanak!! Lets go na, if its not diwali then no problem but still we can have a get together party!! (all perked up)

Khanak smiles slowly, as something struck her, Shaan is just looking at everyone's expressions, She agrees to it, Shaan can see that she's broadly smiling, he gets the message that, something was cooking in her mind, and he doesn't have any idea….

Its Khanak's time to smile mischievously….
