@ Chris: you are right, it is not a tiff tiff..they have not come there yet..they are still figuring each other out..for khanak, the fact that he is willing to take her home is a big deal..she is eventually a small town girl..in her head she always thought this is just an arrangement out of circumstances..

PART 15

Wednesday..5pm..Hostel 7 Mess

Karthik: (sipping his tea): ..Arrey yaar..I think diagnolly, the detector is going to be more efficient..

Shaan:  (eating his bhajiya):But I think there is a change in the equilibrium with diagnol placement..??!

Harshad enters..

Harshad: Hi guys..Murli kidhar hai?

Karthik: Woh Poona ke liye tickets book karne gaya hai..

Harshad: Oh Shit! He is going to be off 'this' weekend..yaar I had some work in Poona too..

Karthik: Kyun be..tujhe kyun jana hai Poona?

Harshad: Dad ka ek property matter handle karna tha mujhe..arrey Shaan, you were going to give me that lawyer contact right?

Shaan: Oh yes! Let me call Bhaiya right now..(calls Akki)

Karthik: (his phone rings): Murli hai line pe..bolu kya tere liye bhi ticket book karne ke liye..

Harshad: (his hand forward)..de mereko..Hey Subramanium Seth..(gets up to talk else where)

Karthik is downing the bhajiyas while looking around in the canteen..can hear Shaan's side of the conversation.even without eavesdropping..

Shaan: that's okay..text it..what do you mean?..when?..this morning?..what did she say?..really..no no..of course..baiya..two weeks..haan haan..kal..how about 5pm?..yes..I will tell her..no she's not here..Bhaiya..I will..

Shaan ends the conversation and looks at the plate to eat some bhajiyas..

Shaan: Abey..sab kha liya kya..

Karthik: (matter of factly): Haan..

Shaan: De mera bhajiya de..Harami..

Karthik: (chomping the last piece): Kal sabere aake lele..

Shaan: (grins): tera toilet humor kabhi band hota hai kya..?

Karthik: Hota hai na..bedroom mei ..!!

Shaan:  (grins and hits him): Khanak theek kehtee hai..tu pagal hai..

Karthik: Ay haye..thinking of biwi..Bhabhee hai kidhar btw??

Shaan: (non caring): I don't know..

Karthik: (looks at him crouching his eyebrows): whatchamean??

Shaan: (irritated and non caring): I don't know..

Harshad is back..hands over the phone back to Karthik..

Harshad: ek problem hai..Murli could not get tickets..

Karthik: Kya..does not make sense..no tickets available to go to Poona..poora Bombay jaa raha hai kya?

Harshad: Abey..he needs to get there by a particular time..main soch raha hoon..bike leke chalte hain..Friday raat ko nikalte hai..

Karthik: Haan wohee kar le..Murli tere peeche..aur tu uske aage..aish karo dono LOVERS..

Shaan hits him on his head..

Harshad: OH SHIT! Main tho bhool hi gaya..Saturday ko Mohita ka birthday hai..

Shaan: Tho usse bhi leke jaa.. birthday poona mei mana..

Harshad: Arrey I can take her..thats not a problem..lekin Murli ka kya karoon?

Karthik: Chal main bhi chalta hoon..teri help kar deta hoon..

Harshad: thanks yaar..Tu Murli ko bol degaa..

Karthik: Murli jaanke kya karne walla hai ki..main Mohita ko apne peeche bithane walla hoon..

Shaan and Karthik high five each other..and laugh..

Harshad: Main teri khaal kheech na loon..

Karthik: Meri khaal tu kheech..yeh bata..Mohita ka happy birthday ke liye..tu birthday suit pehenke jaa raha hai ki nahin..

Shaan: Haan bol..uske happy birthday pe tu happy banega ki nahin..

Shaan and Karthik laugh and high five each other again..Shaan's phone rings..Shaan notices the caller and ignores it..

Karthik: Haye haye bhabhee hai kya??..giving the thanda kandha!!..

Harshad: Kyun bhai..?

Karthik: She's disappeared somewhere and he does not know..if I ask him..he gives me a want to kill you look..

Harshad: She and Mohita went shopping and one of those nail things..

Shaan: (suddenly extremely irritated): How do you know?

Harshad: Mohita told me..

And just then, the two ladies in question enter..Harshad who is seated next to Karthik sees them come in..Harshad grins and waves..Karthik whistles..Shaan who is quite irritated and has resolved not to be affected does not turn..until she is very close..he looks up at her..she smiles..and his resolve almost breaks..he is angry yet not angry enough not to notice she looks radiant, beautiful..standing there in a white churidhar with a sea green duppatta..chunky earrings and bangles and his most favorite part..her hair is open..she sits next to him..and Mohita pushes her futher by sitting next to her..

Shaan is now stuck to the wall..and so that his wife can get more comfortable..he moves himself some more..Khanak takes her hair all onto one side..and some of it sticks to his shoulder due to static..and as though God intended it that way and he cannot but help it..he feels the edge of those tendrils in between the tips of his fingers..the pleasure this gives him breaks his resolve completely..Mohita, Karthik and Harshad are discussing something..while Khanak stuck in between..is adjusting her duppatta so that it does not touch Shaan..completely oblivious of part of her hair stuck on him..he turns to her..

Shaan: (bends towards her ear): Hi..

Khanak: (without turning towards him..plays with her duppatta): Hi..

Shaan: Kahan thi tum?

Khanak: (turns towards him trying to figure out his expression, realizes it was a harmless question): Mohita ke saath thodi shopping..

Shaan: (whispers into her ear): Maine socha ki dhobi ke saath bhagayee..

Khanak: (looks at him..smiles): You wish!!

Shaan: (smiles back): waise maine almost akhbaar mei ishtahaar bhi de diya tha..

Khanak: (looks at him): Missing persons?

Shaan: Nahin matrimonials mein..mere liye nayee wife..

Khanak looks at him..and suddenly they both start laughing..the kind that newly married couples share..soft and secretive..Khanak notices her hair resting just below his shoulder between his fingers and his shirt sleeve..she tugs it..he feels it until he cannot anymore ..

Khanak: Sorry!

Shaan: No problem..

Khanak: (tucks her hair behind her ear)

Shaan: Waise..you are looking nice..

Khanak: (gives him a questioning look): maska lagaa rahe ho..??..Maine abhi tak reply nahin kiya..

Shaan: (puzzled face): to what?

Khanak: To your matrimonial ad..

Shaan bursts out laughing..and before he can say anything..Mohita's words shift her attention..

Mohita: Arrey Khanak..tum bhi chalo na..

Khanak: (turns): Kaha?

Mohita: Arrey hum chaar Poona jaa rahe hai..tum dono bhi chalo..and then while coming back we can go to Lonavla and Matheran. Plan banate hai..

Khanak: (glances at Shaan who is buried in his phone): Actually iss weekend, mujhe apni friend Pooja ke yahan jana hai..

Karthik: LO..Murli bhi aa gaya..

Murli: Hi guys..(looks at Harshad)..Dekate..what did you decide..??

Harshad: Change of plans..!!

Shaan: Okay guys, I need to take a swim..

Mohita: Main bhi chaltee hoon..Khanak..yaad hai na..H-11 ajaa 8 baje..

Karthik: Arrey wah..hum kyun nahin..??

Mohita: Kyunki H-11 mein non intellects not allowed..!!

Khanak and Mohita laugh..and high five..and Mohita waves and leaves..Harshad follows her outside..

Murli: Tu swim ke baad session pe aaja..poori raat karenge jagran..

Shaan: Alright..

(Khanak is picking her bags up from beside the table..Shaan picks one and hands it to her..She begins to leave..Harshad is back..Khanak waves to everyone..and is about to leave..)

 Shaan: Ek minute, I am coming..

Murli: So all set..Dekate..in two hours..session..

Karthik: Aaj raat..hum tum aur Maggie..

Shaan and Khanak leave together..Shaan takes a bag from her..they walk up the stairs..

Wednesday 6:30 pm..Hostel 7, Room 201

He keeps the bags on top of the bed..goes inside the bathroom..collects his swimming shorts and his swim goggles..and notices one of the bags is on his bed..

Shaan: (peeps into the bag): Yeh kya hai?

Khanak: Aap ke liye..kurta hai..

Shaan opens the bag and removes a pure white kurta with self embroidery on it..slightly embossed..he looks at it..he stares at her..

Khanak: Kya hua?

Shaan: I don't know what to say..

Khanak: umm..how about thank you?

Shaan: (smiles): thank you!

He stares back at it..puts it back..and realizes the last time he wore a kurta was for Bhaiya's wedding, he did plan to wear the same one for Suraj's..but landed at the mandap and the hospital and then the mandap again in the same clothes..a chocolate brown shirt and jeans..completely in contrast to her in her red bridal wear..He smiles at her and steps out for his swim..He shuts the door..She opens the door behind him..

Khanak: Listen..

Shaan: Bolo..

Khanak: (grins): Good night..

Thursday, 2am..Room 201

Shaan is on his stomach..right hand dangling out of the bed..rubbing the edge of the bag placed on the floor near his bed..peeping inside..grinning outwardly..Khanak turns..he automatically removes his hand..and puts it under his head..

Shaan: H-11 mei dinner kaisa tha..?

Khanak: Hum log ne Maggie ko bahut miss kiya..

SHaan: (grins): Next time we will join you with Maggie..

Khanak: Aapke bhaiya ne phone kiya tha sabere..

Shaan: (turns away from her and stares at the ceiling): Pata hai..

Khanak: (thinks he is angry): I am sorry..I had picked it up without realizing..

Shaan: Its okay, Khanak..

Khanak: (turns and stares at the ceiling)

Shaan: Thanks for the kurta..

Khanak: its okay..

Shaan: Mera naam Shaan hai..

Khanak: Jee..

Shaan: It bothers me you never call me by my name..

Khanak: I do..I mean..

Shaan: You don't..

Khanak: I will..

Shaan:  Okay..

Khanak: Lets go back to thanking me for the kurta..

Shaan: (laughs): Good night, Khanak..

Khanak: Jee..Good morning..

Shaan: Hmm..

tho shaan called akki bhaiya n came to know he called him in the morning..looks like shaan made an appointment for thursday 5pm..will u say wat they talked abt r will u say i didnt hear akki talking n shaan didnt say abt that?
the poona plan sounds gr8..i too thought y not shaan n khanak go with them..
shaan is irritated as he didnt know where his wifey is?really u shud make khanak inform abt her whereabts..sometimes this will be more embarrassing for him na?he always informs her where he is going..it doesnt matter really he is there r not..but he informs..likewise she could text him if she is going out na..i really felt bad when harshad said shaan abt his wifey's whereabt even though he know it thru mohita..so better u make her inform abt where she'll be..
shaan must have really felt bad as harshad knows n he didnt..
wow..the person responsible for his irritation is on the way..n he couldnt keep the same emotion after seeing her..loved it..n now i love mohita for making them sit too close..ahhh..n shaan got to touch her hair..he is clean bold..all his irritation washed away seeing her smile..
*died* this is the 1st time they have talked like this..i was blushing reading it..it was so cute saaz...
they casually talked..he teased her abt running away with dhobi n saying he gave an ad..n her asking for missing persons n his reply for need of a wife..oh god..
really they r starting to talk..i love it..superliked...
so shaan-khanak r not going to poona?
khanak is going to H11 for dinner..
i loved when shaan accompanied her..that was so lovely..now i feel shaan is very much attracted towards her..wow!!!she bought him a kurta..is it for him to wear for sleep?😆😆😆but the way u described it doesnt look like that..may be he'll treasure it..
he didnt know wat to say..aww..cute..n she suggested him to say thanks..
again 2 am..daily it seems a routine for them to converse at 2 am..
really he loved the kurta na?he couldnt stop feeling elated seeing it..
wow!!!next time guys are also going to join for maggi..
loved it when he said she never calls him by his name..he must have thought about it..haan..there again u go..shaan saying good night n she replying good morning..

"But there were women in the world, and from them each of our heroes had taken to himself a wife. The good ladies were no strangers to the prowess of their husbands. and, strange as it may seem, they presumed a little upon it."

Shaan: (whispers into her ear): Maine socha ki dhobi ke saath bhagayee..

Khanak: (looks at him..smiles): You wish!!

Shaan: (smiles back): waise maine almost akhbaar mei ishtahaar bhi de diya tha..

Khanak: (looks at him): Missing persons?

Shaan: Nahin matrimonials mein..mere liye nayee wife..

Saaz,

The above lines ... Brilliant!

I am loving your style Saazy ( Can I say that?)

Loved it.
