Part 5
They all are seated in the restaurant, food is ordered. Friendly talk is going on, by this time Sunil and Madhvi had come to know about Khanak parents. Sunil and Madhvi are enjoying the company of Aayush
Sunil: we are really sorry to hear about your family(toKhanak)
Khanak: its ok uncle, formal hone ki zarrorat nahi hai (smiles)
Sunil: but I really appreciate your braveness beta, im impressed (smiles warmly)
Madhv i: I agree, warna mumbai mein akeli ladki ka rehna, its quite imposiible (shakes her head)
Khanak smiles, food has arrived, she's feeding Aayush and alternatingly eating. Shaan is just looking at her, with a smile on his face, Sunil notices him smiling, nudges Madhvi to look at Shaan. Both of them share a secret smile…
Sunil: Khanak beta this is your last year of post graduation right??
Khanak: yes uncle (smiles)
Madhvi: Kya socha hai beta, u want to work in the same hospital or you want to open a separate clinic??
Khanak: I think I'll continue working in the same hospital, not sure (smiles)
Madhvi: aur shaadi ke bare mein?? (hesitatingly)
Khanak is silent, she looks towards Aayush, Aayush is busy licking his icecream, which he ordered. Shaan senses that something is not correct…
Shaan: Mom (serious)
Sunil notices him jumping right into her rescue, hides a smile…
Sunil: Madhvi let her be (presses her hand to stop going further)
Madhvi: koi baat nahi beta, waise kyat um kal ghar aa sakthi ho beta??
Khanak: jee aunty?? Mein?? (looks towards Shaan, Shaan is looking at his mom with a questioning expression)
Madhvi: haan beta woh kya hai ki, Shaan's dadi, Akshay, mera bada beta aur Khushboo Akshay ki wife, sab London se aa rahe hai, me and Sunil had thought of giving a surprise party for them, if you don't mind can you help in organizing the party?? Shaan toh hamesha busy rehtha hai issliye??
Khanak: but aunty im not free until evening, u know hospital work (silently agreeing)
Madhvi: no beta finish of your work, we can meet in evening, hai na sunil??
Sunil: haan beta, if you want we can send a driver, what do you say Shaan??
Shaan:Dad, agar Khanak ko koi problem nahi hain, toh I don't have any problem (looking at Khanak)
Aayush: mom chalthe hai na, evenings ki achchi time spend bi hojayega, please mom (pleading)
Khanak: Ok (to Aayush) teek hain aunty I'll come to your house in the evening (smiles)
Khanak is talking freely with Sunil and Madhvi. Shaan is happy to see her mingling with his parents. They all leave the restaurant happily. Aayush is moving out with Sunil and Madhvi, Shaan and Khanak is left behind…
Shaan: so Dr. Khanak. (he's stopped by Khanak)
Khanak: its ok Dr. Shaan, u can call me Khanak (smiles, slowly walking)
Shaan: then Khanak, I think u should call me Shaan. Both of them smiles broadly
Shaan: im sorry Khanak (Khanak is confused) I don't know whether I should be asking this or not, kya tum aur Raj?? (hesitatingly)
Khanak: no no, nothing like that, he knows everything about me, because we were classmates and now colleagues, that's it, we are just good friends, he just cares for me like a friend (smiles warmly)
Shaan is relieved, reason?? Still a big question mark. Both of them smile at each other and leave the place…
They both reached where Madhvi and Sunil were standing with Aayush. Khanak and Aayush bids bye to them, and starts walking, Shaan is staring at her back, Khanak as on cue turns backwards to see, both of them look at eachother and smiles, she turns and leaves. Sunil and Madhvi notices this and are happy for his son…
Part 6
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)
