Bewitched

Chapter 60

Mohit's POV

" Listen beautiful... "

" Please Mr Paul, there is no one around, you don't need to pretend. So save all those endearment s for someone else. Please tell me what do you want to eat. "

Ufff !! Temper ?? She is hot !!! I like it...

Concentrate... you idiot!!

" Will you listen to me??" I said to her.

" Yeah... but first let me get started with making dinner. I am already tired. " She had already started kneading the floor.

" Listen, you don't need to do this job... we can order food if you are tired. "

" No, I enjoyed my first day on that job. I can cook, I would not neglect my one job for another. Tell me what you want... " She took out pans and picked up onions to peel and chop them.

I was desperate to talk to her and she was working on our dinner.

Oh, God !! She was as stubborn as any other member of my family.

" I don't want anything, for God's sake, just listen... "

" No, tell me what you want, you did not even eat your breakfast. I want to do my job perfectly. My job is to provide you with nice, healthy and hot food. I don't like it when you don't eat. The food gets wasted and I feel bad that I didn't do justice to my job. "

What happened to her??

" Why are you behaving like that?? "

" Like what?? "

" Like this... So formal?? We are... "

" Friends?? No, you just call me your friend politely when we are alone, but in front of your friends, you can't even call me that. Sometimes, I am just a girl your parents wants you to meet, another time, I am your fellow designer, and yesterday your employee... Which is absolutely true. So let's keep it that way only. There should be no confusion. So next time if anyone asks, we won't have to think."

God !!! She was thoroughly irritated with me. But what did she expect me to tell them?? I could not tell them.

You could have said that she was your friend. My soul said.

But she seemed to be hurt... Why was she hurt?

She thinks that you call her a friend, just to be polite?

But I do think of her as my friend. Don't I ??

No... Not as a friend... You don't feel for Manu what you feel for Srusti.

I don't know... But she is as important to me as Manu is... I want her in my life. I want to take care of her for the rest of my life. I didn't want her to go away, I wanted her to be with me all the time.

Then tell her whatever you think or feel for her.

Oh, I wish I could tell her but there was no point in talking while she is in this mood.

" Excuse me... I am making dinner, go and sit there. " She said to me as I was standing there, while she was cooking. She was having problems in working.

" I am sorry for that but I could not introduce you to them. " I explained, I could think of.

" Yeah... as I am not good enough to be your... friend. After all, I am your cook... " She was still angry with me.

" No, you are very important to me."

" Yeah... Because your family think that we are married. "

" No... You are getting me wrong... Can't you understand that I was worried about you? " I said all of a sudden.
