LIES

4. ENOUGH SOCIALIZING

Two pairs of limbs now being  untangled  who were just moments ago united like some beautiful web, both naked bodies lying atop on bed still trying to catch their breaths
Neil shifted and put the comforter on both of them
Both are under the same  blanket on the same bed  in the same position yet at different thought processes but yet again lying maintaining distance between and silence, the only sound was coming from now their labored breathes
They had been lying in silence for 10 minutes no one is speaking, then Neil Remembered he has to use the washroom  and he is not in his room he spoke
"Chipkali,  I am going to use your bathroom,  if you want to use it before then go for it," he said without looking at her
But he didn't get any response
So he looked at her only at the sleeping form of her
He almost didn't want to wake her, but as he thought almost suddenly he has this brilliant plan to annoy her as she did some moments ago
He started shaking her while putting himself sitting position on the bed and start shouting
" Aarohi wake up your bada papa just as he is outside the door, wake up he looked very angry," he said with a panic expression
" what are you saying, stop shouting, how did this happen fuck my life" she is now definitely awoken and has this full-blown panic expression on
" he just barges in and shouted, I guess we both fell asleep," he said trying to convince her in his drama
" oh right I saw him when he entered, your mother was right behind her," she said with sarcasm glister words
It didn't take him long to understand that she already can see his facade, no point to stretch this, he thought how come she sees right through his facade every Damm time
With a smile he said
" You were sleeping peacefully how can I let that happen, otherwise you would have teased me that I am going soft under you" he tried to explain himself with a smile
" I listened to you the  first time just don't want to waste my energy on you, and btw you did get soft under me moments ago," she said with a wink
" haww you shameless chipkali get up now, I have to use the washroom where I can discard all the softness," he said
Now moving out of the bed grabbed his boxers on the way to the bathroom on his left, aarohi watched him till he disappear,  he came back after a good 10 mins, he came out wearing his boxers and come near the bed and sit beside her foot where she still clad in nothing but a blanket and now in sitting position browsing her phone
"Chipkali do you have a cigarette here," he asked politely
Keeping her phone on her side she replied " are you crazy or what chamgadar,  this is my home, you are asking me if I have a cigarette or not " she said laced with sarcasm
" just say simply no way to make that trademark Chipkali face," he said getting frustrated now
" I have some hidden here somewhere but I am not giving you one," she said while looking at him directly
" it not because you suddenly start caring about me right, you did not want me to see your hiding spot isn't it," he said with a smug expression like he cracked some big mystery
" Eww care about you huh, and drop that smug out your face I can't give you because you can't smoke in here, this room has a fire alarm installed that goes off with little smoke, so no," she said with a teasing smile on her face
" All goneka's are the same, they all can smoke outside but inside no, we all are good graced family,  hypocrites," he said while gesturing for her to shift a little so he can also sit inside the comforter, they both settled with almost shoulders touching each other and taking support from the headboard
"True," said aarohi
"Wait a min did you say all the Goenka's do that, you knew about me because you shared with me, who else? " She asked directly looking at him with curiosity
He gets nervous with this direct approach but he replied " don't act like you never noticed vansh setting up smoke zone in his studio apartment "
" yeah I saw that but he said that was for his crew as he is not the only owner of that studio" she replied instantly
" and I used to think you are a very smart Chipkali, he said with sarcasm and looking at her making her eyes roll
" Why would vansh going to tell his little sisters that he also shares that smoke zone and some time with kairav and your ag" he replied not looking at her eyes
" what Ag too, that's news for me, I just bade papa not do that, it will not be good for his health," he said with concern in her voice
He stares at her for a long moment ( while she is lost in her thoughts) and observes, he always knew she has soft spot for his bade mumma and respect for bade papa, then why she always doubts their intentions, their words, and their love and care for her.
He spoke " I don't think so bade papa is smoking, you could have seen those symptoms in his routine health check-up "
"Smart chamgadar,  this is rare from you," she said sarcastically but directly looking at him
He broke this trance as he is getting awkward while she was naked and him only in boxers
" Although I can't say the same about your badi mumma and Mimi, I think they both do that while gossiping all that," he said with a smile on his face
This makes her laugh like a genuine laugh " you don't think before speaking, do you ?" She said still laughing
Her laugh is getting on his nerves he wants to just listen to that laugh but at the same that is intoxicating
" Why should I do that, that's your department,  isn't it," he said while avoiding direct eye contact
He said " I think I should dress up now otherwise I will be their next gossip topic"
" That would be fun," she said with a teasing smile on her face
" Hey Don't even joke about it, if they caught me here first, they beat me, and then my mother and brother will be at home waiting for me with a special welcome performance," he said with concern
" you have to be alive before your family can greet you,  you are that dumb chamgadar that you think you can leave this house alive after this kind of stunt," she said with a smirk dancing on her lips
" Vansh would save me and so is my bhabhi" he said
" Vansh bro will be the one who will start beating you first, and as per your bhabhi I don't know how she will react,but not gonna be happy with you being with a liking of a girl like me," she said in a serious tone
"Vansh would do that to his jigri, now you are scaring me," he said with lots of concern
" then you better get dressed up, and I am leaving for shower," she said
Now she gets up from bed and starts walking towards her closet only to find a bathrobe and tying it around her body meanwhile Neil is watching her instead of wearing the shirt he is holding now turning back she saw him looking at her, she raised her eyebrows
He finally spoke throwing his shirt back on the chair " how about me joining you for a shower , we should save some water  na " with a wink he said
" hold your horse mister twice a day is enough for you, chamgadar have only this much energy," she said while teasing him
" Hey Chipkali don't go on my energy,  did you forget the day all this started,  how many this chamgadar show you stars, remember," he said while raising his eyebrows
" showed me stars when, I remember that day I am the one who carried the whole show you were just following my orders as a puppy , like you finally getting some action," she said with a teasing smile on her face
" haw liar,  let me show you know how much power I still have, " he said while approaching her
She stopped her with her hand gesture and said " shower is my time,let me enjoy it peacefully,  you can show your power tomorrow if you like " she said with a wink and turned towards her bathroom not before turning around once more
" you should now get dressed up and leave this before they come and take your time, so you won't complain next time,you didn't let me dressed," she said in a mocking voice
" and if anyone asked about me downstairs just say I am sleeping," she said
"What about dinner and sweets? " he asked casually
" what about it I will have it after I take my nap, I have no energy to get down there and do all that socializing, I have done enough socializing for today," she said in a serious tone
He has his clothes on and was about to leave her room but not before replying to her
"I like your talk better when you were naked Chipkali," he said with a wink
"Same chamgadar,  without clothes, is the only way I can tolerate your presence," she said while closing her bathroom gate
"Have a good night ", he said to himself before exiting her room
