The Smiling stars

when she came back she saw that he had managed to untie himself
"Oh it came out that easily? is it because anjali di did not do a good job of it. I would have secured it nicely!"
he again stared at her.
"dont look at me like that, you could have pulled out the dupatta long back and you made me feed you!"
"Kush..."
"now dont start shouting at me, you can save that for later, now do your work!" she told running away from there carrying the soiled plate.

Minutes later when she walked into their room she saw the laptop and mobile abandoned at his desk where he was sitting earlier and he was standing near the window staring at the stars
she silently went and stood near him
"you are thinking of your mom?"
He looked at her and then looked back up
"see I am sor..."
"My Mom used to do the same thing, when I was a kid, she used to tie me up and then feed me"
the sudden change of tone in his voice told her that he was no longer angry and was missing his mom.
"Anjali di told me when I went down" she told him "You are missing her?"
"hmm...when I miss her a lot, I used to go to Di and we would have a talk about her memories"
"What do you mean used to? You can still do that"
"Not needed, I am seeing her a lot in you" smiled at her sadly slipping his hands on her waist.
Kushi wanted to change his sober mood.
"you know, I remind you of her because of one thing may be..."
"what is that?"
"Because we both got to handle the same Specimen...
he smiled at her.
"manufacturing defect may be..."
"yeah could be... I mean if you are so kiddish and fussy, what else would we do?"
"Kiddish?" he asked his mood back to normal
"haan... we all started a fun game and you could not even digest yourself being teased...you act so fussy at times that I am left wondering if you are even grownup..."
"I can show you what a grown up Arnav can do"
"Yeah, I know, dont bother to tell me"
"you do? then tell me..."
"he would be angry with me, then shout at me and then kiss me senseless and then..." she paused blushing slightly
"then what" he prompted
"then would have his evil ways with me" she finished
"and today, he is even going to take revenge on you for what you did to him today"
"oh! you are going to tease me a bit" she asked "Big deal, You do that everyday!"
"Oh thats only a tip of the iceberg sweetheart!"
"then what else?"she looked at him, then pushed him holding him at arm length "tie me up ?" she gasped "no you cant do that"
"You cant tell me what to do and what not to do kushi, your turn is over, Its my turn now" he smirked before closing in on her lips.
The stars were shining bright  seemingly smiling down at the two...

The end.
