Part 11
In last two days, nothing much had happened, Khanak had approached him for the help, she was behaving normal, as she used to behave with others. Shaan had talken with dadi about her behavior; dadi had promised him that everything would be fine and also promised that she would talk to her slowly. Shaan had left it to dadi for solve, as he trusted her than himself.
A beautiful Friday morning, dadi had called Khanak on Thursday night, to remind her visit to Khandelwal's, Khanak had promised that she'll be there with Aayush. Dadi had also made her agree to stay the night. Khanak had accepted that solely for Aayush's sake, his eyes would lit up whenever he would meet them, seeing him happy, she would have felt contented for his happiness.
She knew he was missing the attention he would get when her family was alive, now he was getting attention from Khandelwal's, he loved it, and she didn't have any problem. Problem was her feelings, which was getting stronger day by day, whenever she used to see Shaan, she had felt some joy in her, like we would say butterflies in stomach. She was now clear that even Shaan had similar feelings, he had shown her the signs. But she feared, what had happened 2 years back, she didn't wanted that to happen in her life once again. May be if she could tell that to Shaan, he would back up from her. She decides to tell him that, which even her closest friends would have not known…
Shaan knew that today, that's Friday, Khanak and Aayush will be staying the night in his house for first time. He had felt like as though his spirits were pouring… He was excited from the core. He knew that today he's gona ride her for the first time, she had agreed to that reluctantly. He was glad atleast she had accepted that. He was waiting near the car. There she comes with a small bag, which carried hers and Aayush night clothes, but Aayush is not there, she comes to him, he has a broad smile on his face. They both smile at each other, he opens the door for her, she has kept her bag at the back. She smiles a thank you and takes her seat.
Khanak: if you don't mind can we pick Aayush from school (politely)
Shaan: ofcourse Khanak (smiles)
Ride to the school was cool, as his school was nearby to hospital, both of them are waiting for Aayush, standing about 3feet away and leaning on the car.
Shaan: so how was your day?? (casually)
Khanak: as usual stressing, seeing so much pain who'll feel good, if I would have healed their pain then I would have told it was a great day (actually a small kid had passed away due to an accident, she's feeling bad because she couldn't save that kid)
Shaan: well you can heal my pain (softly but confident) (easing her)
Khanak: sorry??? (no idea)
Shaan: nothing!! (calm) if would've healed everyone's pain, then people would have called us god but not next to god… (thoughtful)
Khanak (turns toward him, he's looking at her) smiles a glorious smile : right!!!
Aayush comes, he's happy to see his Shaan uncle, gives his bag to Khanak, coolly goes and sits in front. Aayush talks to Shaan and Khanak whole way. He is very excited.
All three of them enter Khandelwal house, Aayush is in Shaan's arms and Khanak next to Shaan holding the bag. Dadi sees them enters, she's happy to see them like that, they would make a great couple, the thought brings smile to her face, Madhvi, Sunil, Khushboo and Akshay also joins. Greetings and hugs all are done. Khushboo and Khanak are behaving like as though two old friends have met after a long time. Khanak is all smiling, seeing her happy, Shaan is very much happy. Aayush has already changed in Shaan's room. Khandelwal house is filled with joy.
Khushboo: Khanak humne suna hai ki tum achche khaana banaati ho?? (Khanak is sitting next to Khushboo, Shaan is opposite to her, as she hears that, she glares at Shaan, Shaan easily shrugs that)
Khushboo: Khanak, aur humne yeh bhi suna hai ki tum kheer bahut achchi banati ho??
Aayush: haan aur parantha bhi, aur rajma bhi, actually mom sab kuch achchi banati hai aur haan mom bahut achcha gaati bhi hai. (proud)
Dadi: achcha yeh toh hame pata hi nahi tha, chalo bhai, aaj kHnak hamari gaana gayegi..
Akshay: dadi not to forget Kheer, my mouth is watering already (smiles)
There's laughter around, Khanak promises that she'll make one at the time of dinner. Khushboo gushes on singing, Khanak agrees to it reluctantly.
Akshay: ek minute Khanak, Shaan jaa na, guitar leke aana…
Khushboo: yes Shaan, come on… (Shaan smiles and goes to bring his guitar)
Khanak is surprised hearing that, she had never thought. Khushboo requests her to sing tu bin bataye from Rang de Basanti.Shaan brings the guitar, he's ready to play it.
Aayush: aap yeh gaana kiske liye gaa rahe ho?? (smiles)
Khanak: kiske liye?? (no idea) ok, I dedicate this song to all of you(including Shaan), because jab se aap log meri zindagi mein aaye ho, meri life baahut meeti ho gayi hai (glorious smile)
She sings and Shaan plays the guitar according to the tune.
tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kahin
jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin
meethi lagi, chakh ke dekhi abhi
mishri ki dali, zindagi ho chali
jahan hain teri baahein mera sahil wahin
tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kaheen
jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin.
Khanak stops here, its once again her turn to get surprised, as Shaan starts to sing the next part.
mann ki gali tu phuharoon si aa
bheeg jaye mere khwabon ka kafila
jise tu gungunaye meri dhun hai wahin
tu bin bataye mujhe le chal kaheen
jahan tu muskuraye meri manzil wahin
Shaan ends the song thinking that: this was just for you Khanak (in his mind)
Coming up: still more to come, we'll know Khanak and Shaan more better.
English translation of the song-
Khanak's part-
you, without telling, take me somewhere,
where you smile, that only is my destination..
I felt sweet, I just tasted it now,
life has become a lump of sugar
where your arms are there, my shore is there only..
you, without telling, take me somewhere,
where you smile, that only is my destination..
Shaan's part-
to the street of my heart, come like showers
let the caravan of my dreams be drenched,
what you hum, only, is my tune..
you, without telling, take me somewhere,
where you smile, that only is my destination..
Part 12
All of them are clapping happily, Khanak is clapping for Shaan and smiling and Shaan is clapping for Khanak. Shaan comes near to Khanak. All are busy.
Shaan: iss barr bhi tumne baazi mar li (in her ear with a smile)
Khanak: I don't think so, (looks at him) not bad, Im really surprised!!
Shaan: that I could play guitar??
Khanak: and you could sing, you never told me (mock upset)
Shaan: tum baat kaha karthi ho, what's wrong Khanak?? (worried)
Khanak: actually mujhe ussi ke bare mein baat karni thi (serious)
Aayush comes running to them, first he hugs Shaan, Khanak is surprised
Aayush: uncle aap bhi bahut achche gaate ho (sweetly)
Shaan: achcha, thank you (picks him up) lekin aapki mom ne bhi toh gaana gaaya hai.
Aayush: mom toh har din gaathi hai, she's the best, lekin aapne pehli baar gaya hai toh (he pecks him on his cheek) yeh aap ke liye. Shaan smiles at him.
Khanak is happy to see the bonding between them. All of them join, there is loads of laughter and more talking, all are enjoying it to the core, Khanak's bonding with Khandelwal's grown more strong. As promised she's preparing kheer. Khushboo is accompanying her in the kitchen. They have become great friends. Khanak is reminded the relation she shared with her bhabhi, it was the same, but now she thinks, this relation is better but something different, both of them enjoy each other's company…
Kheer is served to everyone. She is eagerly waiting, she's nervous. She looks at Shaan, Shaan takes a spoonful, he's impressed, actually he loved it, he just eats it. All others praise her, but the person she's expecting is not telling anything. Dadi watches her starring at Shaan. Shaan easily gets up and goes near her.
Shaan: can I get a second serving?? (with a smile, all others are busy with Aayush but dadi is watching them, with a smile) Khanak smiles and nods. She moves to the dinning table, where she had kept the bowl, Shaan follows her.
Shaan: so you love cooking??
Khanak: I think so!!! (serves for him, he takes it politely)
Shaan: im waiting for the day, u cook something for me (smiles)
Khanak is upset, how is she suppose to tell him, his expectations are growing. She just moves out, without giving him a second look, as her eyes were filled with tears. Dadi notices that,but she doesn't ask any question in front of everyone. Our Shaan once again confused,looks at dadi, she assures him and goes behind Khanak.
Khanak enters into the guest room, which was given to her and Aayush. She stands near the window, wipes her tears, she wouldn't break down easily, she's not that weak… Dadi comes and keeps her hand on her shoulder, Khanak slowly turns towards her, she tries to be normal.
Khanak: Dadi!! (smiles) aap??
Dadi: kyun tumhe laga Shaan hai?? (naughty smile)
Khanak: jee?? (shocked)
Dadi: Shaan ne mujhe sab bataaya hain, aur usne yeh bhi bataaya hai ki aaj kal tum bahut sad rehthi ho?? (silently seeking for answer)
Khanak: (moves around, so that she won't be able to meet her eyes) Dadi I don't know, aap kya baat kar rahi hai, meri aur Shaan ke beech mein aisa kuch nahi hain…
Dadi: agar aisa hai, toh meri aankhon mein dekhkar kaho.
Khanak turns around to see her, she takes a long breathe in. Dadi makes her sit on the bed, she sits opposite to her…
After half an hour or so, Khanak and Dadi comes out, Shaan notices that. Khanak and dadi both are smiling. Shaan is happy to see her smiling.
Sunil: arrey maa, Khanak kaha reh gaye the, maa aapko yaad hai, hum log Kashmir gaye the. (smiling)
Dadi: (both of them take their seats) yaad kyun nahi, wahi tour hai na jisme Shaan darr gaya tha (giggling)
Shaan: dadi!! Dad bus hogaya ha (irritated)
Khanak: kyun?? Aisa kya hua tha??? (excited)
Shaan: kuch nahi hua tha, Dad please…
Khushboo: arrey aisa kaise Shaan, pata hai Khanak, hum sab log Kashmir gaye the, u know waha pe Horse riding, trekking, rafting famous hai na, Shaan aise thaise karke, Horse riding kar li who dhi usne chup chap nahi kiya, sab logon ko suna raha tha, especially uss ghode ko (all of them burst out laughing, even Khanak joins them, Shaan is embarrassed.)
Shaan: bhabhi, aap ka kya tha, Bhaiyya aapke saath the, aur mom aur dad ek ghode par, aur mujhe bita diya akele, pata hai who ghoda teek se chal bhi nahi raha tha, mujhe toh aisa lagtha tha ki mein pakka ghirne wala tha, thank god aisa kuch nahi hua…
Everyone starts laughing once again
Akshay: Khanak tumhe uss ka chehra dekna chaiyiye tha, it was so funny…(laughs)
Khushboo: baad mein humne, matlab mein dad, Akshay aur Shaan, trekking ke liye gaye the, pata hai usne kya kiya… (laughs)
Akshay: oh my god, usse yaad karke aur bhi hassi aati hai…
Aayush: Kya hua tha??
Khushboo: (cotrolling her laughter) woh, he got ready, he climbed half the way, then (laughing) we don't know what happened, he started to yell there, to make him get down…
Khanak: are you serious!! (laughing)
Shaan: stop it aah bahut ho gaya (gets up and leaves the place) All stops laughing when he gets up, and once again starts laughing after he leaves…
Shaan is irritated from his family, he's in his room's balcony, looking outside, Kya zaroorat thi, khanak ko yeh sab batani ki, abb kya sochegi woh meri bare mein… hits his hand on the balcony rail.
Khanak enters the room slowly, with kheer in her hand…
