RANJAN'S BIRTHDAY
It was Ranjan's birthday. Although I no longer lived in Plutus Heights, I decided to host his party there. It was supposed to be a secret party, but he somehow got to know. I'm sure that if he wasn't a businessman, he would surely have been a tactful detective.
Anyway, I, being the best cook among our friends, was baking the cake. It was pineapple flavour: Ranjan's favourite. Although it was less than a month since we started dating, we knew each other inside out.
I was baking the cake at home when suddenly the doorbell rang. Nisha wasn't home, so I had to open the door. I was surprised.
It was Ranjan.
I became anxious. Ranjan shouldn't know about the cake.
"How come you dropped by?" I asked, nervousness was evident in my voice. "Can one stay away from their life?" he counter-questioned me, with a grin. "Huh? Nope, ofcourse not" I answered. Why was he doing philosophy now? "If one can't stay away from their life for long, how can I stay away from you, meri jaan ?" I was soo flustered. It was the first time he called me by another name - that too in our native language - Hindi. I blushed hard. "Will you keep on blushing and standing there, or will you let me come in meri jaan ?" he asked, very well knowing what that phrase 'meri jaan' was doing to me.
I moved aside and let him enter. I told him to take a seat on the couch and went inside the kitchen to see the status of the cake. It was baked. I smiled and started icing the cake. After I finished, I looked at it - it looked so delicious. As I was admiring the cake, I heard footsteps coming into the kitchen.
"Riya?" he said.
I quickly turned around to face him, trying my best to hide the cake from his view.
"What are you hiding from me, meri jaan ?" he said, leaning closer to me. Our faces were just centimeters away at this point. The heat at this moment was untoleratable. My heart was beating heavily. Butterflies were sprinting in my stomach. My legs felt weak. If Ranjan continued to stare at me for a second longer - I was sure I would fall to the ground.
He tucked some strands of hair that had come on my face behind my ear. His touch made me shiver. I didn't know what to do. For a second, I forgot that there was a cake that I needed to protect and conceal.
He suddenly held my hand and licked the cake icing from my fingers. "Mmmm... what are you cooking Riya?" he asked, his eyes staring deeply at mine. "Uh...." was all I could say. "Will you answer me, or should I call you meri jaan again?" he smirked.
If he called me meri jaan again in that situation, I would seriously fall down. So I decided to forget my mission of concealing the cake.
"Its... its your b'day cake" I said, trying to avoid his gaze. I moved away so he could see the cake properly. I had to take support of platform to prevent myself from falling.
"Pretty" he exclaimed.
Who calls a cake pretty? Was Ranjan crazy or something?
Ranjan must have sensed my question. His next sentence surprised me.
"Its not the cake I'm taking about"
Those butterflies returned again. He came near me and said, "I don't care about the cake, the only one I want is you, meri jaan "
Suddenly, we heard a loud thud. We turned to look at where the sound came from. Thats when I found Nisha standing there, grinning.
"Oh you love birdies, continue please. Its even better than watching movies..."
Ranjan excused himself and left. I was so grateful to Nisha for saving me. If it wasn't for her, who knows what would have happened? I would have surely been consumed by the heat of the moment.
