"Abhigna, Abhigna, oh sorry sorry Bhabi ma....... bhabhi ma, bhai sa aa gaye" a girl informed Abhigna with a teasing smile on her lips
Abhigna sighed and closed her book with a small smile "ayee di"
"Mein sone jaa rahi hun, toh Bhai is all yours. Get all romantic you both can be" the girl winked at Abhigna and went out of her room.
As soon as the girl went out of sight, Abhigna's smile fell. Adjusting her scarf around her neck she strolled downstairs.
Abhigna saw him entering their house with a tired look. Indeed he is tired with back to back meetings. He loosened his tie with his left hand while he was typing something with his right hand.
He raised his brown orbs only to get clashed with another set brown orb. He slowed down his steps, he is still enchanted by her like he was in their childhood.
"Khana laga dun?" Abhigna asked
"Nhi mujhe bhuk nhi hai, meine already office mein dinner kar liya hai" he said and climbed the stairs.
His steps halted just after 3-4 stairs. He turned around with furrowed brows and asked "tumne dinner kiya?"
"Nhi" Abhigna replied without looking at him
He descended the steps, coming face to face with her, he asked "why?"
She took a deep sigh and replied, "Kyu ki apko akele khana pasand nhi aur .........(she raised her eyes to look at him deep in his eyes).....aur apko jhuth bolna bhi nhi ata"
She held his coat sleeves near his wrist and tugged it softly towards the dinning table. He smiled but didn't say anything.
Removing his coat, he folded his sleeves while Abhigna served him and herself with the dishes she has made. His eyes lit up and he gave a toothy grin to Abhigna and even if she resisted she slightly fell for his smile.
He silently devoured his dinner occasionally moaning with its taste. He didn't compliment her but she from his moans could understand that he liked the taste.
Abhigna was so lost looking at him that she forgot to take the spoon near her lips, she just kept filling and unfilling her spoon.
Wiping his face with the table napkin, he hastily went inside the kitchen. Only then Abhigna filled her mouth with the food. She loved the spiciness in the food. With the fifth morsel her eyes widened in realisation. She left her dinner half way and ran towards the kitchen.
There he was leaning on the fridge and stuffing his mouth with icecream. He has zero spice tolerance, she knew it but somehow that skipped her mind. His fair complexion has turned red due to the intake of spice. He is rubbing the ice on his lips and eating ice cream, simultaneously.
He is looks hot but innocent, simultaneously.
She badly wanted to run in his arms and hug him. She wanted to cry her heart out but in his embrace. She wanted to get consoled and pampered but only by him.
But then the thought struck her mind, can she ever love him? Without her accord the tears fell from her eyes, she can never love him because he resembles him. Not in appearance or activities or personality but the way. He loves him in the same way, how he used to love her, selflessly.

"Yeh hum kahan jaa rahe hain?" Abhigna
"It's a sacred place Abhigna" Meera replied
"In what terms?" Abhishree asked
"People believe that aap yahan sache mann kuch bhi mango toh woh puri ho jati hai" Geetanjali replied
