A Blind Date

Banter

He smiled which confused her. She scrunched her brows

"What?"

His smile turned into a soft chuckle

"I just said that I hate you"

"You look very cute when you are pissed" He said.

She exhaled some breath "Go away!"

He took a step ahead and leaned a bit towards her "It's your fault that you're being so cute which inturn is making me fall for you" and winked.

She looked around to find no one looking at them... and gave a small smile to him... which came as a surprise for him and he scrunched his eyes.

The very next second, his feet was stamped hard by her pointed heel... and he yelped in pain and stumbled back.

"You bitch!" He cried out.

She smirked "Iss baar sirf neeche maara hai... agli baar padegi toh baccha paida nahi kar paoge" and left from there.

Though in pain, her words made him chuckle.

Damn... this woman is something! Priya Sharma... ab toh yeh Ram Kapoor itni aasani se haar bilkul nahi maanega.

He sat on a nearby bench and took off his shoe and sock to find the portion just above his toe, swelled up.

Angootha bach gaya aaj!

He looked up and saw priya and riya walking out of the gaming section.

Both looked at him and riya ran towards him leaving priya's hand.

"Uncle kya hua aapko?"

Riya looked down at his swell and priya too joined behind her.

"Uncle yeh kaise lagi aapko?"

Ram looked up at priya and then at the little one and smiled

"Mujhe na ek bohot bade bug ne kaata hai"

Priya glared at him while riya had a 'haw' expression

"Uncle bohot dard ho raha hoga na aapko"

"Yes darling"

He looked at priya who didn't have any guilt on her face.

"Doctor ke chalein?" Riya looked worried.

Ram smiled seeing her concern "Darling aap bohot sweet ho! Dawaai lagaunga na toh theek hojayegaa"

"Princess lets go shopping come on"

"Par maasi uncle kaise..."

Priya intervened without even looking at him once "Baby uncle bade hain woh apne aap manage karlenge"

Ram felt sad on being ignored by her.

"Maasi aapne hi toh sikhaaya hai ki hame sabki madad karni chahiye"

Priya sighed and glanced at him who now suppressed his smile.

"Lets go, i'll drive" she said.

"Its okay aap dono enjoy karo as you both planned, I'll be fine" He said.

Priya moved near him and whispered which was audible to him

"Ab bhaav khaane ki zarurat nahi hai chupchaap utho aur chalo"

He gaped at her and chuckled

"I was genuinely saying madam"

"Whatever! Lets go" saying so she held riya's hand.
