Part 22 & 23

Part 22
Khanak had convinced Khandelwal's to come to her farmhouse for a holiday. They all had agreed to her, even they were excited with the trip. Khanak had thought of something to cheer Aayush and make him strong, she consulted Lata for this, Lata had agreed to it, but she had adviced her to be careful, Khanak had agreed to that, even Dhruv, Raj and Misha were involved in the plan, but she had not told Shaan.        She knew exactly, if she would tell him, he would reject it, so it would be a surprise for him too…
Aayush was excited to go to the farmhouse, as it was in Lonavala, Lonavala is the best place in monsoon, as it was monsoon, he would be enjoying it to the core. He remembers that Lonavala, is a hill station with lots of greenery, waterfalls are to die for… Even the streams, dams and most famous is the tiger point. He remembers that when he was small, his dadaji (Khanak's dad) had toured Lonavala with him….
It was decided that, they all were meeting early in the morning. Shaan too was excited, as he would be getting more time to spend with Khanak…
Next day morning, Khandelwal's had reached her home, she and her friends were busy in getting the bags ready, she was wearing half cotton pant, which was upto her knee and a T-Shirt with a collar, her hairs left free and shoes to complete her look. Shaan was amazed by looking at her; Shaan was wearing a white T-shirt with jeans and shoes. Our Aayush was also rocking with his best holiday clothes, shorts and t-shirt with a cap, all others were also looking cool…
3 cars would be taken, one for dadi, sunil and Madhvi, other one was for Dhruv, Raj and Misha and the last one was for Khanak, Aayush, Shaan, Akki and Boo.
Journey was started smoothly, as it was early, traffic was less, after an hour of journey, they stopped near a restaurant, for breakfast. All moved into the restaurant. Shaan and Khanak were the last one. Shaan moved near her…
Shaan: your looking like a 16 year old…(grinning)
Khanak: yeh compliment tha???
Shaan: haan!! Maine suna tha agar ek ladki ko aap kehdo ki voh bahut young lag rahi hai toh voh bahut khush ho jati hai… (moving closer to her)
Khanak: voh sab teek hai, (moving away) what are you doing??
Shaan: im waiting for my compliments… (moving closer, until she hits the rail at her back, she's not speaking)
Shaan: agar tumhe batane main problem ho rahi hai toh…(brings his cheek close to her mouth, he's smiling)
Khanak understands, she smiles and slowly moves forward and pecks him on his cheek. Shaan broadly smiles and looks at her, Khanak is shy, she bends her head down, she's smiling too…
Shaan: haaye!!! (keeps his right hand on his heart, playfully) Khanak uses the opportunity and runs from there, she enters into the restaurant. Shaan also slowly enters after her…
It's a huge table, all are seated around, and food is ordered.Aayush is sitting in between Shaan and Khanak. Shaan excuses himself to go the washroom. Khanak looks at Dhruv, who was sitting opposite to her, she winked at him, giving him the sign to start the plan, Dhruv nodded even Raj and Misha….
Dhruv: Raj, you remember na, pichli baar jab hum yaha aaye the toh kitna maza aaya tha…
Raj: haan haan!!! Yaad kyun nahi, achche tareke se yaad hai… (Aayush is attracted towards the talk)
Misha: starting with that race (dreamy look) yaad hai na Dhruv, Khanak ne tumhe haraya tha…
Khushboo: kaisa race?? (interested too)
Khanak: voh kya hai bhabhi, jab bhi hum log mom dad ke saath aate the na, me and Dhruv would have car race and last time I had won the race…(proud)
Akki: toh abb ek race hojaye?? (excited) Khanak and her friends smiled but they give an expression of fake upset…
Khanak: nahi bhaiyya!! Nahi ho sakta (upset, looks at Aayush sideways, Aayush is looking at her)
Akki and boo are upset…
Dhruv (taking it forward): haan haan!! Abb maan lo that your scared of me!!
Shaan comes at that time, all are alerted, and Shaan has no idea what's going on, he silently takes his seat.
Khanak: oh!! main kisise nahi darthi!!
Dhruv: toh phir hojaaye???
Khanak: nahi ho saktha yaar!!
Dhruv and Raj: Kyun???
Khanak: Aayush darr jayega…
Dhruv: Aayush nahi tum!! Manlo Khanak that your scared…(Shaan is amused)
Aayush gets perked up, how can he take his mom's insult…
Aayush: Nahi!! Meri mom kisise nahi darr thi!!
Sunil: correct!! Hamari Khanak kisise nahi darr thi!! Khanak beta tum race karlo, hum tumhare saath hai (does a tumbs up)
Shaan: Kaisa race??
Khanak: ek minute Shaan, lekin uncle….
Aayush: mom race karegi… (announces loudly) Khanak and her friends smile and wink at each other…
Race was decided, 2 ways were considered, Khanak takes a way and Dhruv another way, both ways makes them reach the farmhouse, distance was same, to avoid unusual accidents, this was decided.Sunil, Madvi and Dadi had left, Khanak had given them directions… Shaan still has no idea, they got seated, Khanak in the driving seat, Shaan next to her. Akki khushboo at the back seat, Aayush is safe in between them. Khanak had buckled his belt then…
Khanak: (buckling her belt) Shaan buckle your belt (akki and boo also had buckled their belt)
Shaan: why?? Abb hum city se bahar hai na…(adjusting the mirror, so that she could see Aayush)
Khanak: kar lo na (pleads) Shaan buckles his belt… On the count of three, both the cars left their way, Khanak slowly geared up…
Shaan: Khanak easy!! Slow chalao na… (Khanak is concentrating on the roads, since it was bright day,roads were not fogged up, actually, in monsoons, roads of lonavala get fogged up, raods are quite broad and empty)
Akki: Shaan let her concentrate, we have to win this!!
Shaan: what concentrate?? What win??
Khushboo: arrey Shaan we and Dhruv are having car race, and we have to win this…
Shaan: have you people gone mad!! (frustrated)
Khanak shakes her head, she's maintaining the speed limit, she's still at 90, but Shaan is feeling as though she had crossed 100…
Khanak hits the break all jerked up, they were standing in front of beautiful house, Khnak removes her belt and moves out to check on Aayush, at that time Dhruv's car also come, Sunil, madhvi and dadi came out too… Khushboo and Akshay gets out they are happy that they had won the race…
Khanak went and holded Aayush's hand, even Dhruv, Raj and Misha joined her…
Khanak: Aayush!! Aayush!! (worried)
Aayush looked at her, with a blank expression, Khanak's blood pressure had increased to the most, but…
Aayush: mom!! You won!! (yelled) Khanak was now relieved even others, Aayush hugged her, he moved away from hug moved out of the car, and he was jumping in joy outside, Khanak was happy for him… All were happy, all moved in, Shaan was still sitting in shock, Khanak moved and opened the door..
Khanak: Shaan ghar aagaya hai!! (Shaan is still, Khanak jerks him, he looks at her and moves out of the car, breathing heavily)
Khanak: Shaan easy easy!! (Rubs his back)
Shaan: arrey iss tarah koi ghaadi chalate hai kya…. (yells)
Khanak: Shaan chill!! I did this for Aayush's sake….
Shaan: Aayush!! Have you gone mad Khanak, agar kuch hojatha tho…
Khanak: kuch nahi ho tha Shaan!! I had taken safety measures… Shaan calms himself.
Shaan: (softly) Khanak, hum uske liye kuch aur soch lete na, I didn't have to take risk…
Khanak: Shaan (smiles) see we've reached…
Shaan: (lets out a long breathe) tum log bhi na!! kya yeh tumhara pehla time tha?? You know, racing??
Khanak: no Shaan!! Jab bhi hum yaha aate tho hum racing karte the, Dhruv ke dad mujhe support karthe the, aur mere dad Dhruv ko!! (with a smile)
Shaan: are you serious Khanak?? I mean your dad supported you??
Khanak: haan shaan, but we were in limits, hum dono race zaroor karte lekin we used to ride the car below 100…
Shaan: your impossible!! (shakes his head)
Khanak: are you reconsidering your decision?? (joking)
Shaan: have you gone mad?? (hold her hand) main aisa sapne mein bhi nahi soch saktha!! Khanak!! I Love You!! (smiles, Khanak smiles too)….

Both of them had moved in, it was a beautiful house surrounded by greenery, Shaan was impressed, Khanak had felt like as though she had come back home…
Shaan:wow!!! Its really nice Khanak!! Does anyone stay here??
Khanak: thanks!! Yes!! Ramu kaka stays here, he takes care, come, u still have much more to see it.
Both of them have moved in thehouse, its quite huge, all are settled and moving around, Shaan is just beside Khanak…Aayush comes in front of them…
Aayush: Mom can we go for boating???
Khanak: (bends down) yes!! But tomorrow, I've to call for the guides… Aayush is upset, but suddenly gets cheered, goes to Shaan…
Aayush: uncle aapne swimming pool nahi dekha na, chalo mein dikhata hun (pulls him with his strength)
Shaan moves out with him, while Khanak allots room for everyone ad has got plans, meanwhile outside..
Aayush: pick me up (to Shaan, straining his head to see him)
Shaan smiles and picks him up, they are near the pool…
Aayush: uncle, main aapse kuch pooch saktha hun??
Shaan: yes!!
Aayush: aap Mom ko pasand karthe ho na??

Aayush: nahi! Lekin mujhe pata hai!! Aap mere mom ko kush rakhenge na??
Shaan: haan!! Aur aapko bhi!!
Aayush: toh aap mom se shaadi kar rahe ho?? (excited)
Shaan: yes!! kyun tum nahi chahthe??
Aayush: offcourse chahtha hun (hugs him tightly, Shaan hugs him too)
Shaan: Aayush your happy na??? (Aayush moves out of the hug)
Aayush: bahut zyaada!!! (both of them are grinning) Both of them move in…
Aayush: mom aap Shaan uncle se kab shaadi kar rahe ho??? (in front of everyone, as soon as he asks that question, everyone control their giggle, Khanak is shocked hearing the question, she closes her eyes in horror, Shaan is grinning)
 Dadi: jaldi ho jayegi!!
Shaan: haan agar tumhari mom manjaaye na, to aaj hi hojayegi, kyun khanak???
Khanak eyes flee towards him, she glares at him, he's broadly smiling, Khanak runs out from there and enters the kitchen, Shaan has followed her…
Khanak is just standing and smiling, dreaming about her marriage with Shaan, thinking of that makes her body shiver, Shaan is just behind her, she opens her eye as she could feel his breathe on her neck….
Shaan slowly hugs her from back, Khanak responds and leans back on him, Shaan makes her turn towards him she has closed her eyes. Shaan brings his fingers and feels her every features on her face, her lashes, her nose, her full lips… His touch on her lips makes her to open her eyes, he could see that she was trembling, she has completely leaned on him, her hends were holding his shirt at his waiste, both are lost in eachother eyes…
Dhruv (from outside): bhai hum bhooke mar rahe hai yaha pe… (controlling his giggle)
Hearing this Khanak moves away from him slowly, she's smiling, Shaan is frustrated…. He pulls her back, Khanak is shocked, she tries to push him, but he's too strong for her…
Khanak: Shantanu!! Shaan is surprised hearing that, but still won't move a bit…
Shaan: haan Khanak!! (broadly smiling)
Khanak: shayad aapne suna nahi!! Voh…. she's stopped by him, as he had kept his index finger on her lips, he lingers on her lower lip, his eyes focused on her lips, her toes curl at his touch, both are very close to each other…
Aayush (from outside): Mom!!! (screams) Khanak and Shaan are horrified!! They quickly get off each other and runs outside in unison….
Outside Aayush is jumping in joy, all are happy, Shaan and Khanak are puzzled, Aayush sees them, comes near Khanak, pulls her down and hugs her tightly….
Khanak: Aayush kya hua?? Sab teek hai na?? (pulls him out of the hug)
Aayush: Mom aapki aur Shaan uncle ki engagement date fix hogayi!! (excited)
Shaan is happy even Khanak too, Dadi comes near her, she stands up…
Dadi: beta humne paanch din ke baad date fix kiya hai, teek hai na?? (with a smile)
Khanak is shy, she bends her head down and nods lightly, Dadi hugs her, all are happy, even her friends too…
Sunil: chalo bhai kuch kaa lete hai, bahut bhook lagi hai!! All move towards the dining, everything is gujju…Ramu kaka is standing next to the table and smiling…
Khanak: how sweet kaka aapko yaad tha!! (gushes)
Everyone take their seats, Shaan and Khanak find each one of them next to each other, Aayush is next to Khanak….
Shaan: yeh sab?? (looking at the food)
Khanak: this is tepla, dhokla, khandavi…. Pata hai tepla with aachar is the best…(dreamy)
Shaan: wow!! Maine kabhi try nahi kiya!!
Khanak: abb try karlo!! (she serves him slowly, everyone enjoys the food)
Evening also went smoothly with corn pakoda, as it was cold, all enjoyed and Khanak had took everyone around the farmhouse, as they had grape vegetation behind, they  had a good walk, since ramu kaka was talking about everything, Shaan and Khanak were left behind, Aayush was enjoying his time with Akshay… Shaan and Khanak had held hands all the way, the group had decided to give them privacy…
After everyone returned all had been tired, but Shaan was not, they all had dinner, it was decided that tomorrow they'll be exploring it, everyone went to bed early…
Khanak, Aayush and Misha in one room. Shaan was not able to sleep, he slowly stepped into Khanak's room, saw her sleeping with Aayush, had a sudden wish of getting into the bed next to her, but stopped himself, moved towards her side, slowly near her…
Shaan: Khanak!! (wispers) Khanak stirred in sleep…
Shaan: Khanak!! (sweetly and lightly shakes her) Khanak opened her eyes slowly, she's shocked, she gasps and sits on the bed…
Khanak: Shaan!!! (horrified)
Shaan: aaram se bolona, chalo na bahar chalthe hai!! (casually standing)
Khanak: Shaan!! You've gone mad (stands in front of him)
Shaan: voh toh tabhi hogaya tha, jab maine tumhe pehli baar dekha tha!!! Abb chalo… (brings her out, not allowing her to talk)
Outside the room,
Khanak: ek minute Shaan!! Main kuch lati hun, bahar bahut tand hai!! (turns to go in, Shaan stops her)
Shaan: main hoon na!!! (Khanak is confused, Shaan holds her hand and brings her near the pool, it was so cold she moves closer to him, rubbing her arms and yawning) Shaan smiles at her. He coolly sits down, and inserts his legs inside the water in the pool, as though he's used to this weather, offcourse he was staying in London, waha par tho isse zyaada tand hogi na, Khanak smacks her head, but she's not used to, she feeling very cold…
Shaan: sit down Khanak!! Makes space between his legs….
Khanak: you must be joking!! Mein yahi bet jaati hun (makes an attempt of sitting next to him, but Shaan pulls her hardly that she lands in between his legs and her legs inside the water, Khanak shrieks because of the cold water, hugs her legs to her upper body)
Shaan: Khanak kuch nahi hoga, leave your legs!!
Khanak: pagal hogaye ho!!! Kitna thand hai!! Aisa tho mere legs ka saare vessels(arteries and veins) clot hojayenge (pouts sweetly)
 Shaan: dumbo ki tarah baat mat karo!! Tumhari body ke liye jo heat chaiyiye voh main dedoonga… (Khanak is confused, Shaan slowly releases her legs and they get inserted into the water)
Before Khanak could ask further any questions, Shaan had hugged her closely, his chin resting on her shoulder, Khanak could sense that he was nuzzling her neck, her hair sticking to his face, she has closed her eyes, Shaan getting himself familiar to her fragrance….
Khanak: Shaan!! Why I am sensing some trouble?? Shaan laughs throatly, and hugs her tightly…
Shaan: Khanak I was scared!!! (lloking at her from side)
Khanak: during car race!! (Suppresses her giggle)
Shaan: nahi jab Aayush told that you were not spending enough time with him!! Khanak is silently hearing…
Shaan interlinks his fingers with her…
Shaan continues, I was scared that you would regret the decision of getting along with me, his hold tightens…
Shaan makes her turn towards him, sideways…
Shaan: Khanak I can't think of a life without you!! Khanak couldn't answer that, she gently cupped his face raised herself and pecked him on his forehead, slowly comes down, Shaan makes her sit on his lap, her legs crossed sideways, both are looking into each oter eyes, intensely, Shaan's hand is now on her waiste, pulls her towards him, Khanak shivers at his touch, Shaan slowly moves his face towards her, seeking her permission, she closes her eyes, raises her head and parts her lips, giving him permission, Shaan gets it, closes the distance between him and her, by slowly kisses her on her lips, he covers his lips on her lower lips, she arched her back, Shaan holds her tightly, Khanak's hand is holding his shoulders tightly….
