So priya became a quite surprise

Priya : What ? What are you doing leave my hand

Priya : Not yet we are just frying them

Karan : Where i wanna see the process

Priya : Will you just leave wahan apka koyi kaam nehi hain go get ready

Between their arguments karan mistakenly touched the boiling hot kadhai near to him and got his fingers burnt

Karan : Ouch...

He exclaimed in pain so priya turn arround

Priya : what happend ?

Priya rolled her eyes then went to get some ice water and took his hand and put that into the bowl

Priya : itni si choti chot ke itna chillayenge aap digusting

Karan : What do mean am i over reacting ?

Priya : kind of

Karan : Do you have a heart its paining a lot

Priya huffed

Karan : Can we have a drink together ?
