Ms. Haughty Vs Mr. Thrifty ✅

Chapter 17

It was mid night, Shehnaaz twisted and turned in the bed as her stomach growled. She looked to her left where Sidharth was sleeping with his back facing towards her.

Idiot! Look how nicely he is sleeping! Here I am starving. I never ever experienced this hunger in my life. Today, for the first time in my life I have to sleep hungry. All thanks to him. God! This is unbearable!

Sidharth wasn't sleeping as well since the bed shook everytime when she twisted and he could hear her stomach growl. He smirked.

Madam today you will know what hunger means and how a poor person suffers to satisfy this hunger by working his ass off day in and day out. First step to break your Haughtiness. This ain't your dad's house that you will have 100's of chef to cook food on your demand. You made my job easy by rejecting Suchi's offer in anger.

He closed his eyes when he heard her move. She sat up and slowly went close to his face to check whether he was sleeping or not. Her warm breath touched his face.

What is she upto? Those warm breath is giving me shivers. She can't be so desperate to kiss me while I am sleeping.

When she confirmed that he was sleeping, she slowly slid down from the bed. His heartbeats were back to normal when she moved away. She tip toed out of the room and moved towards the kitchen. The lights were off. Only their room was dim lit with night lamp. She banged on to something in dark which made a loud noise. She shut her eyes in embarrassment.

Sidharth smiled and all the lights went on and within a few seconds everyone from the house were standing infront of her.

Rachana: Huh? Shehnaaz what happened dear? Do you need something?

Shehnaaz: Aaa.. I came here to drink water.

Sidharth: Why did you have to come here when we have water in our room itself?

Shehnaaz: Aa.. Oh!! I forgot! I am sorry to wake you all.

Suchi: No worries bhabhi. Good night.

Suchi and Rachana disburse to their room. Sidharth looks at Shehnaaz who had a disgusted facial expressions. She stomped into the room and gulped the entire bottle of water and lied on the bed. Sidharth smirked and lied on his back.

Shehnaaz twisted and turned again after 10 minutes.

Sidharth: Hello Madam, can't you sleep straight? Allow me to sleep peacefully else go and lie down on the floor. The mat is there in the corner.

Shehnaaz frowned and got down from the bed, spread the mat on the floor besides the bed which was close to where Sidharth was sleeping and lied on it.

Sidharth: Much better!! Now I can sleep peacefully again by spreading my body on the entire bed as I did two days back. Good night.

Shehnaaz frowned. She curled up pressing her knees to her stomach and went to sleep after sometime.

It was 5:15 a.m. when Shehnaaz wakes up upon hearing a sound coming from the kitchen. Her neck and back was hurting yet she got up to check. Rachana had started preparing breakfast and lunch after having bath.

Shehnaaz grabbed a fresh pair of clothes and ran to the bathroom. She quickly brushed and took bath in 15 minutes and ran to the kitchen.

Rachana: Shehnaaz! You woke up so early today?

Shehnaaz: Yes mom, I bathed as well.

Rachana: Wow! That's really great!

Shehnaaz: Hmm.. mom what are you cooking?

Rachana: I was preparing for lunch box first so that by the time everyone is up, I can serve them hot breakfast.

Shehnaaz face became dull.
Oh God! Still how long until I get to eat breakfast. I think I will offer her some help so that the work is done faster. But, I don't know anything about cooking. Hmmm.. I can still try asking.
