Part 43
Tending flustered and agitated at the circumstances Chandni felt her heart would sink any moment...It was not less than climbing mt everest for her...
After ten minutes of strenuous efforts finally she opened one of the cookery books she saw lying under the pile of old books...
Chandni quickly flipped the pages looking at the dishes... "no...not this one...it seems too difficult" she kept murmuring "it looks horrible..." something was killing her inside...if she didn't meet his demand, he would surely not follow her demands... at once she looked around for a suitable bowl...then reached the table to cut some vegetables...
Meenakshi woke up for a cup of coffee when she saw Chandni in the kitchen... "is that really you, or am I still dreaming..."
Highly strung at her mother behind her she tried to control herself...relaxingly she gave a fake smile "mom...you got up so early..."
Meenakshi walked towards her... "its 7:00am '..i normally wake up by this time...but what has happened to you?"
Chandni didn't look into her eyes... "well...nothing really...i thought of cutting some vegetables..." she smiled once and looked down...
Meenakshi couldn't understand Chandni's reason of standing in the kitchen and cutting vegetables...and that too so early... in the meantime Kamla came inside the kitchen and looked at the mother and daughter... "as far as I know Chandni...this time you normally go for jogging or you are still in your bed..."
Chandni
felt uneasy, as if she had a jittery ride over rough terrain...it
was not that her mother had seen her in the kitchen...it was more
because she lied to her... how can she explain to anyone that
she's tricked by the devil who must be enjoying his morning on her
expense... she felt like pulling her hair out...
Chandni
didn't have any good reason of explaining to her mother the reason of
cooking right in the morning... "well mom...you know I go to
college three days a week...and I hate eating outside...so its
more healthier to cook at home and take away my own food..."
Meenakshi
looked more curiously at her daughter who wasn't facing her...
"really???"
Chandni didn't look at her even once... "of course mom" she said pretending to be confident about her statement...
Impracticable
at her daughter's words "either you have gone insane or something's
seriously wrong with you" Meenakshi walked away...
Chandni took a deep breath '... and asked Kamla to help her... Chandni was still thinking how she would face her family's reaction everyday when they will see her cooking...she has to find some solution to this problem... she cannot cook everyday for him...she would seriously go mad... its easy to work on a project rather than standing in the kitchen... and she never liked cooking at all...
******************
Veer smiled white putting on his shirt...he started buttoning his shirt while looking in the mirror amusingly...
"may I ask the reason for this broad smile...?" Manohar looked at his friend astonishingly who got up so early from bed...this was not less than a miracle...
"Why not Manohar...i don't want you to deprive yourself from any information..." Veer's strange response perplexed Manohar...
Manohar almost stumbled, how could Veer say that so easily when he never tells anything to anybody...Manohar dared to ask another question to the handsome man who was wearing his jacket and looked extremely good looking... "where are you going Veer?"
Veer brushed his hair and smiled at Manohar... "in a witch's den" and patted lightly on his cheek...watching Manohar's bemused expression...
Veer
walked downstairs... when Pratima called out "Saab...your
breakfast"
"leave it lady...the witch is waiting to feed me" he sauntered outside the main door...making Pratima jolted for a moment...she had never seen Veer smiling so much and the way he said those words that made no sense to her... she folded her hands and prayed to the Gods "please save my Saab from any witch..."
*****************************
Finally
Chandni was happy to see the breakfast all ready...she quickly
packed and quietly sneaked outside the house...she knew it will
take her ten minutes to reach...
she took fast steps but just after few seconds she realized she wasn't wearing her jacket when the cold winds entered her body... "oh no..." she immediately thought of going back into the house and changing or she will surely fall sick... she quietly opened the door and found her grandmother sitting in the temple and reciting her prayers...
She
kept the box at the main door and walked upstairs to change...
After
few minutes...she came wearing her casual jogging clothes... and
an extra jacket over... soon she was outside the house walking
towards the valley...
****************************
Manohar
was still thinking why would Veer dress up so formally as if he was
going on a date... well he had never seen Veer smiling so much
even when he went for a date...there was something that was making
him curious to know... his thoughts were disturbed by the old
man's talks with someone over the phone...
"yes
Acharya Ji...i was waiting for you to come '..so when will be the
auspicious day?"
Manohar could hear Kaka inviting someone over...but then he was least bothered in his activities... he looked at Kaka who seemed happy after putting the phone down '... with a small piece of paper Kaka was about to move when Manohar smiled at him "so where are you landing next to meet your ghost friends??"
Kaka
looked annoyingly at Manohar "its none of your business...let me
do my work..."
Manohar
didn't wanted to leave a single chance of annoying the old man...
"am I invited to this ghost party...??"
Kaka turned around "It would be my great honor to invite the world's most annoying ghost"
******************
The moment her eyes fell on him standing near the bench her heart skipped a beat...she could die a thousand times to have that glimpse of him... as she started moving towards him she murmured "my heart is yours...it seems you have become like my God... and I have said yes to be with you through out my life"
Veer
looked at the road and saw her coming towards him...a naughty smile
escaped his lips...he wanted to laugh seeing Chandni carrying a
three tier tiffin box... and murmuring something...he thought
she must be cursing him under her breath...
but
soon he saw something that made his smile turned into a serious
gaze... "you are just like a divine light that has entered my
life completely capturing my soul...you are only girl whose magic
worked on me..." he said to himself...
but
as she came closer...Chandni glared at him as if she would eat him
"you know its so difficult"
he
gave a serious look "stop complaining...and open the box..."
Chandni
furiously thought about him...he was the most ruthless man she has
come across and still she loves him...why on earth did God made her
heart fall for the world's heartless man... she opened the first
box...
"what
the hell??" he said looking pathetically at the green
salad...that wasn't even cut properly...
Chandni
looked at him "well...its healthy...and the only thing is I don't
know how to cut properly...so"
"even
a animal won't eat this green leafy thing and you are expecting me to
eat this" Veer shouted at her...
Chandni
looked angrily at him... "fine then don't eat..."
she
opened the second box...to which Veer made a drastically bad look
"i can't believe this...one apple!!!!"
Chandni
didn't had a single clue what he was actually expecting her to
make...
"Chandni...i
can't believe...the way you carried such a huge box, I thought it
must be some lavish breakfast today...but you disappointed me..."
pretended to be angry at her... though he wanted to laugh aloud at
her innocence...
"alright, now open the last box...lets see what have you got in that..." Veer said hopelessly looking at Chandni...
the moment she opened the third box...he wasn't surprised to see a dry toast... he wanted to laugh but he showed his anger "do you think I am ill??? what kind of food is this???" he again shouted at her...
Chandni silently listened for few seconds until he clearly said that he will not to follow her demands for the day.. "why not? I have made the breakfast today..." she put forth her statement before he came closer...
"this is what you call breakfast???" he angrily yelled at her "go learn something from Pratima..." he said and turned away from her to avoid laughing in front of her...
Chandni was never so furious in her life as she felt after preparing breakfast for him "you are expecting me to become a maid..."
Veer somehow controlled his laughter and turned around to look at her "well, whatever you think...but I won't eat this food..."
without saying anything else he came closer '... grasped her tightly from her waist and placed a kiss on her pink lips making her completely mad...
until she realized what he was doing he pulled back and smiled at the astonished face that turned red...
she clutched the collars of his shirt "what was that???" her eyes looked big and beautiful...Veer couldn't escape himself from the dagger eyes that were killing him...
sliding his hands around her waist... Veer started laughing making her totally confused... Chandni was looking angrily and hopelessly at him...when will he stop teasing her, how could he just do what he wants every time and without giving her any time to even think...
"you don't know...do you want me to repeat and let you know..." he answered back...
"no... no" she replied instantly...
her eyes were attracting him to embrace her tightly in his arms... he touched her eyelashes with his thumb...
"what are you doing Veer??" she blinked her eyes rapidly...
"checking if you have fake eyelashes..." he said seriously...making her more angrier...
Chandni eventually pulled away from his arms and started walking away while he smiled at her and said to himself... "everything seems dwindled in front of those skewing arrow like eyes that give me tremendous pain..."
************************
"what are you throwing in the bin??" Kamini asked her dear grand daughter who was emptying the box outside the house...
Chandni
turned around to see Kamini with a jug of water... she must be
watering her plants... "nothing grandma..."
"where
did you go??"
"went to feed the cows on the hill" Chandni replied with extreme anger that was hitting inside her...
Kamini smiled "really??? so did they eat"
"even the cows didn't liked my food..." Chandni replied frustratingly...
