Part 60
May 26th 7:18 PM
Niyojan Nagar- Mistry Residence.
Ahmedabad
Her Bai's sisters and their kids were here, one husband was missing and was expected to get here on 29th. Khanak had asked her Aada to appoint a cook and a maid to take care of all the housework. The kids slept in the chhath at nite. Bai slept with Khanak on the bed. Her Bua was arriving tomorrow, she lived barely 10 kms away at Vastrapur.
The Sangeet was at a hall nearby, the mehandi was at home and the wedding was at the Mandap Hall at Sarovar Portico at Bhavan's College Rd. She had asked Aada if he knew how much the hotel suites costed. He had avoided looking at her when he said "I forgot to ask"
Khanak could clearly tell, he did not want her to pick up the tab.
But she would!
Even if she has to write a check to Shaan after the wedding!
Khanak lay in bed. She was too tired chatting with family all day. Though she did not talk, being around 20 people was enough to tire her. The weather was boiling hot. The swamp cooler on one of the windows was doing its best, but it was not helping. She had bought an AC for her parents room downstairs. She had planned to get one for this room before her 3 week vacation this summer.
Providence and a certain bratty 27 year old had a different plan for her.π³π³π³
"You've spent enough time in Chembur already!"
At this time, it didn't seem like a bad idea at all. She had met him last at 6:18 AM on May 24th. Two days and 12 hours had gone by, there were no phone calls.
She wondered what he did in the evenings. Feversihly meeting friends every nite?
What did he do when he first went home? She shut her eyes and brought his image to her mind's eyes. " You go to Boston with me or we stay her and..." his eyes were stormy, his voice was unsteady. "He spoke fluently, confidently"
"Laughed a lot, smirked when he disagreed" Was opinionated and strong willed. He had to have his way. "Lose him Khanak, I will see you in the lobby at 8:30" he said when she had gone to meet Nirav. He came and sat by her, did not rub or brush against her. Did not grab or hold her hand, did not smother her with kisses
Did not push or shove her'''..he was extremely knowledgable, spoke on varied topics. He was definitely smug about his accomplishments and the meteoric rise to become a Director at 27! He could be rowdy, playful, loud, and boisterous around his friends. The minute he received a call from work, he excused himself and walked out and answered it always. He was aggressive and ambitious
He was impatient and hungry!
The phone rings.
Ritu: hey mystery dulhan kais hai?
Khanak: Ha! Great! Its too hot rey!
Ritu: who AC khareed daal!
Khanak: I wanted to go with Aada to get it, but he refused to let me step out of the house.
Ritu: Abhi to madam aap sirf ek bande ke saath jaa sakti hai, aur who hai Mr Gujral .
Khanak: Funny! Agara main na chahoon to nahi jaaongi
Ritu: But you will go swthrt
Khanak: Stop acting filmy (flustered)
Ritu: Bai aur Aada mujhe pooch rahe hain ya nahi?
Khanak: 50 baar
Ritu: Good!... I am happy (smug)
Khanak: Ab aayegi bhi?
Ritu: Kal mujhe lene aayegi airport?
Khanak: Ritu Aada (whines)
Ritu: Arey wah pehle to shaadi nahi karna chahti thi, abhi apne friend ko lene bhi nahi aa sakti (teases)
Khanak: Stop it yaar!
Ritu: So what is Mr gorgeous saying?
Khanak: Umm'. Nothing!
Ritu: Why? Did you guys have a fight?
Khanak: No! I am not, don't know abt him (taking the high road)
Ritu: People that are getting married in 3 days usually end up using 1000 talk minutes a day. Remember, I told you about the gal at my work?
KhanaK: That's insane!
Ritu: For you! You don't talk 1000 minutes a year! Face to face' (mocking)
Khanak: I do! Don't be silly
Ritu: You guys haven't talked in three days? Really? Do your parents know?
Khanak: I told them we spoke" (giggles)
Ritu: Jhooti. Ruk abhi batati hoon Uncle ko.
Khanak: Ritu please.
Ritu: I just don't get you guys!
Khanak: You are not alone. So how is your hottie?
Ritu: Cute, handsome, charming, flirty, wild, insane... Sigh! I love Kritikπ³π³π³π³
Khanak: Hugggs
Ritu: He told me a risqu joke, sunegi? You can pass it on to Shaan as if its yours on wedding nite! (giggles)
Khanak: Nahi! Bilkul nahi. (she can feel her hand singe on her cheek where its holding the phone)
Ritu: Are we suddenly coy?
Khanak: ofcourse not! You know me!
Ritu: That's why I don't get it girl! I mean you are nervous, jumpy, on the edge with him all the time. Does he affect you THAT bad?
Khanak: He makes my mouth go dry! (suddenly out of the blue an admittance pops out)
They both are quiet for a minute
Khanak: Did he call you?
Ritu: Nahi?! Kyon?
Khanak: Wonder why he hasn't called me! I am not going to call him! (fierce)
Ritu: Ek request hai, I wont I wont karke, shaadi se absent mat rehna dono, duffer!
Khanak laughs out loud.
Ritu: Tera bharosa nahi, but I know he will abduct you, if you play hookey.
Khanak's heart does a somersault
Khanak: Achha sun don't you dare
Ritu: Ek second ruk, ek call aa raha hai!
She hangs up
Khanak, drags the pillow on her side and covers her face, and exhales... she can hear all her pulse points amplified...
The phone rings again. Eyes shut, face covered with her pillow, breathing the steamy air, and on the verge of suffocating herself...
Khanak: Ritu, If you ever say a word to him about how I was checking on him or wondering why he didn't call I will kill you ! (ominous)
Shaan: I wont! (softly)π³
