Shenanigans Of An Imp

chapter twelve

Kim had never thought of her family as "normal". She was a baptised Catholic. Her paternal grandparents were Catholic, her maternal, Hindus and then came her foster grandparents who were again Catholic. Confusing? Don't worry she too got overwhelmed at times. So first to sort through the relations, cultures and traditions were important, then to make sure you never offended any of them, an other part that she had to balance. To not get offended anytime they became too obsessive also was very important.

Basically she had a large, extended and over protective family who thought she needed to be wrapped in bubble wrap, hence the need for her to run away to a cold and foreign land.

She loved her family to death but sometimes she wondered if they themselves would be the reason of her death!

Now would be most definitely one of those times.

Her aunts and mother had a brilliant idea of introducing her to all the eligible bachelor's who would be attending the wedding. The problem you ask?

It was an Indian wedding were the world and their family were invited.

After being introduced to douche #101, she made an excuse of needing to make immediate use of the facilities. Running into an empty stall she bolted the door and taking a long breath she slipped her shoes off.

She was about to call one of her friends in when she heard women entering. She quickly put her phone on silent and heard their conversation.

"You saw their youngest granddaughter? She looked good but I wonder why she never wore jewelry? Her uncle owns the biggest store here and yet she was so simple. It's a shame, she does have the Nair looks. She can snag any boy she wants here but instead of settling down she works in London. I heard she may be, what's that called? You know being "interested" in a person from the same gender? She likes one of those girls she has come with. A shame I tell you. Give freedom to children and this is how they repay you. Anyway let's go I want my daughter to meet Rajat's nephew. He is in the Air Force you know? He will make a very good match for my daughter. She is not so choosy like that Nair girl. Thank God for small mercies."

Kim silently snickered at how the aunties assumed that she was a lesbian. She couldn't wait to tell the others about these rumors.

After a few minutes she felt better and left the washroom. Her Saree got stuck on her shoe and she lost balance. She could feel herself flailing in the air when a pair of strong arms caught her mid fall.

When she looked up she was pretty sure she saw Krishna's human form standing in front of her. He had gorgeous deep set brown eyes, twin dimples that were smiling down at her and he smelt so damm good!

And his body! Oh good God his body was a piece of art alright.

Broad shoulders, trim waist, abs that could be felt through the linen shirt and long legs that were covered in dark pants.

She was sure that he caught her leeching at him and she wasn't even sorry!  I mean if God kept on making specimens like him she would definitely want to fall in love. She now realized that hottie, yes she wasn't original with names, was saying something. Oh well she better hear him than look like a fool.

"-Ok? Do you want me to call someone? Hello? Are you ok?"

"Oh, uhm umm y'ya fine thanks" she stuttered. Looking at her feet she said " umm you-eh need to-eh let go" pointing to her hand that was still in his grasp.

"Uh yeah sorry" he said letting go of her hand. He slipped his hand in his pocket. Was it because her hands were to rough? Her mother warned her of this! She should pay more attention to her mother! He was saying something. Dammit she needed to stop spacing out!

"So I guess I'll be seeing you around. And again you have beautiful eyes. Take care" she could only nod her head at that.

" Oh-okay I cannot believe this! You Kimberly Lima are checking a guy out and that too someone so hot! Are you ok darling? Feeling sick? Weird? I get it! An alien has invaded your body right? Right?" Asked Samaira her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"I need to find my mom! I found her son-in law!" Kim said coyly.

Samaira just gaped at her, Diya came over to them and said "what happened? Is everything alright?" Concern evident in her voice.

"Uh no she" Sonia pointing at Kim said  "was checking a guy out and said she wants to marry him!!"  She exclaimed.

Diya sighed and said "well it was about time! You weren't getting any younger! Who is he? We need to know who this mystery man is."

Kim had spaced out again and was dreaming about hottie and her dancing around tree's like in the old Hindi films. Samaira and Diya continued their plotting oblivious to Kim's inattention.

Who do think this man is? Will Kim actually meet him and have a proper conversation?

Stay tuned!
