Lockdown

BHUKAD!

SOHIT POV

" SERIOUSLY!?" she threw a pillow at me the moment I opened the door and I guess my entry wasn't particularly appreciated, especially in that... Small little messy room. But I was genuinely hungry! I hadn't eaten anything since I left the quarantine center which was about 8 hours ago. My head was hurting and I could not hear her talk to her mother like that for any longer. Rude brat. If Suha were to ever talk like that to amma na... I would kill her!
" I haven't eaten in 8 hours!" but I was still living in her house and I still had to show my courtesy. I wanted to and I could have educated her on how to talk to her parents but, hunger had really taken over my entire mind at that point. When I came there, I had hoped that I could ask Suha to make Rasam like amma makes because it had been years since I ate that. Instead, there I was, ready to eat anything she could cook. Like, literally, anything at all.
" Bhukad," she threw another pillow at me but I guess my "Please" expression did the trick because I saw her get up from her place and walk past me.
" I'm no servant here. Get that?!" angrily, she threw something on the kitchen island which surprisingly was pretty... Clean. No seriously. Where is her cleanliness considering the other parts of the house?!
" Do not consider me your fucking food machine here," she was ranting but also cutting the vegetables on the cutting board and I just sighed. I mean, what else could I even do in that situation? My head was spinning because of the hunger, I was tired from all the traveling and I was sleepy. So whether she ranted, cut the vegetables a little too loudly or occasionally shouted back at me, I just kept my head down on the small dining table that she had and hmmned at all her insults. I didn't even know what she was making and I was just about to fall asleep on the table when my phone rang.

" Anna! Did you eat yet?"
" No," why did she have to sound so cheerful!? Oh, yeah! She gets to eat Amma's rasam, doesn't she?! Little bitch. She's the reason I'm stuck in this situation with that Rowdy woman!
" It's late bhai. Ask Pari to make something na... She can cook really well," Hmm... I already did that. What did I get? I got an angry girl who was cutting vegetables with the intention of cutting my throat.
" I asked her. She's making something,"

" SUHANI! TELL YOUR BROTHER THAT FOOD IS GOING TO BE COSTLY IN THIS HOUSE!" and just when I thought that things had gotten quieter, she just slammed a plate in front of me in anger and screamed into my ears.
" Whst do you mean costly?" But that was the one thing I was much more interested in knowing about. Already staying in that cheap, small, weird, and messy place was costing me 3 lakhs. I mean... What could be costlier than that?! Seriously.
" I mean. That you have to pay extra for every single time you have my food. Labor charges and initial product charges!"
" You are a Marwardi, aren't you?"
" A proud Tripathi," I groaned in displeasure when I saw her pull the plate full of pulao or maybe some kind of rice in it. I don't know... But I was fucking darn hungry at that moment.
" Fine. I'll pay you-"
" 1000 rps per plate. If you take extra, I'm charging you extra," I mean, seriously?!

" Is this the kind of friends you have, Suha?!" She was giggling. How dare she?! Over here, I was starving and tired and exhausted and there, she was laughing at my pitiful situation!?
" Oh c'mon Anna... You can afford that much,"
" FINE! But I'm not paying you one paisa more than that!" I pulled the plate away from her and she smirked. That evil brat!!!!! The only thing that went... I don't know, ok about the entire situation was that she could cook well. That is the only thing that she did well. That and those...

" Don't you dare fucking stare at my babies!" Yeah. She still fucking gets it every single time my eyes stop at that part
" I wasn't staring," I looked away guiltily and she pouted. Cutely. Ok. No. I'm saying cutely so, it means cutely! Like seriously cutely. If she just used some makeup... I think people might even consider her pretty with her big eyes that only know how to glare at someone and that long, luscious hair that she doesn't know how to maintain well enough.
