Part 6

Khandelwal's had reached their home, Shaan was happy, seeing him happy, Sunil and Madhvi are happy. Shaan enters his room, showers and changes into T-shirt and track pants, sits on his bed and leans his head on the headboard.

He just remembers the first day when he had met her. He had looked at a girl properly for the first time in his life, her smiling face, her eyes, he had never seen a girl, who was calm and also very beautiful. Her hair which was flowing, it was like silk flowing in the air' He could tell that he had crush on her, on their first meet'

When he had met her on the same afternoon, he had felt uncomfortable when he had saw Raj and Khanak, being so close, reason at that time was question mark!! Now its clear' He smiles at the thought' When Aayush had called her mom, he couldn't believe his ears, he was upset at that time, but he didn't show on his face, but Dr. Lata had cleared his confusion, he was sad for her, she had lost her parents when she required them most' At that time he wanted to be with her, reason at that time ????

And the next day when she had sang for the kids, he had wished, that the song for him, but couldn't express it' He was happy to see her singing and her closeness with children, it was like she was searching love in those kids, and the kids were happy around her. She had held herself strong and made Aayush also strong' He was ready to accept her forever in his life and yes, he was ready to accept Aayush, he would protect them from the world's evilness'

Today when he had seen her talking with his mom, his heart had jumped in joy. She was looking like a like a small girl, in those jeans. She had easily mingled with his parents. He was happy to see her talking in ease with his parents. She had fed Aayush sweetly, but she had eaten less, he had watched that but hadn't said anything. When she had smiled at him, his heart had skipped several beats' He was now sure about his feelings''

On the other side, Khanak and Aayush had also reached, Khanak was tired but Aayush is not. Both of them showers and changes, Aayush has gone out to play with his friends. Her apartment is stylish and comfy for her. It was 3bedroom flat. Her brother had designed especially for her, living hall is quite simple, with some hand paintings on the wall, one wall is painted in dark blue and the other walls are in white, has 3-seater couch and two 1-seater next to it, and a glass table in the middle, placed on a rug, a LCD tv is placed front. An open kitchen, with less utensils, one room is for Khanak, it has got her books, a big family photo on the wall, and lots of photos of her with Aayush on the side table. Another bedroom is full of Aayush's toys, though Aayush slept with Khanak.

She's standing in front of her family photo. She puts her hand forwards to touch the photo, it gives her an immense pleasure, she leaves out a long breath. Her hands move around the photo and it stops near Aayush' She remembers about how Aayush had become closer to Shaan. She smiles, She had liked his parents, but she is scared to accept the feelings for Shaan. She had noticed him, getting comfortable with her. He had directly asked about Raj, she answered him, his departing smile was worrying her, even she had smiled without her knowledge' But her life is not easy has it seems, when she had opened her eyes after 3 days of accident, she had already lost her family except Aayush. Aayush was in coma for a month. If Aayush would have also left her, she wouldn't have got the reason of her life'

But now she was worried for Shaan, if she was misleading him then that would lead her into trouble. She was really bad at choosing. If someone would have asked her to choose between her mom and dad, that would have been like choosing between her one of her eyes' She would have never done that, now her each and every being is devoted to Aayush, she was living happy only for Aayush's sake'

Now she had to decide between Aayush and Shaan' i.e., she had to decide between her life and feelings which are taking birth for Shaan. She had felt attracted towards him on the first day itself, but her resolution had made her strong, she had skipped the idea, but today, she couldn't help, she had shown him the signs, which was now threatening her'

At the same time Aayush returned, he had asked her for something to eat, she goes into kitchen to prepare something, in the meanwhile she decides to suppress her feelings inside, and she had to just concentrate on Aayush and on her studies, which was her parents dream.

Shaan was good, charming, a girl would wish for, but she thought that she had no rights to live a life like a normal girl.Now she was sure, that she's not right for Shaan's life. She decides to avoid getting closer to him, she would make herself busy with operations, but she wouldn't mislead him further'

She had prepared pasta for Aayush, as he wanted to eat that' Both of them sit in front of the tv, Aayush is watching cartoon, Khanak has usually, she's feeding him.

Aayush: Mom hum log kab jaa rahe hai, Shaan uncle ke ghar??

It flashes to her that she's suppose to go to his house, she had totally forgotten about that. Now what she's gonna do???

Aayush: (turns towards her) Mom, kya hua, kya soch rahe ho??

Khanak (is breaken out of her thought) : Kuch nahi Aayush, kal dekhthe hai (smiles slowly)

Aayush: please mom, chalthe hai na, bahut mazaa aayega

Khanak: dekhthe hai Aayush, abhi aap khalo' (she makes him eat)
