Diamonds and dreams

5. mithai and memories

A/n pov-

The next day Nila woke up early because of Dhara, who was heading out as she had to go to office, Aru and Isha were still sleeping peacefully. It was 5 am, Dhara in a hushed tone said, " I gotta go, btw your phone was ringing last night. I tried to wake you up but you know how beautifully you ask a person to shut up with your immaculate vocabulary." Dhara left and Nila was fully awake, she checked her phone while brushing, oh jesus!! It was Dave, she forgot to send him the updated code. She quickly washed her face and sprinted downstairs for her laptop.

Nila's pov-

I ran to Aru's room, l left my mac in her cupboard with her laptop. God!! Why do I have to face that jerk this early in the morning. I entered Aru's room, the light was already on, there resided his majesty on the bed without a shirt on and the ac switched off. He was working on his pc and I was working on remembering his abs. Geez yaar subconscious get a room. He was now looking at me, I was broken out of my trance and opened the cupboard, wait where is my mac. No No No I did bring it, I remember putting a post it on it 'Nila's mac'. I was on my way to wake up amma and ask her when his majesty said," I heard they put out some lookout emails for Nila's mac, did you get it?" Istg jesus, istg if he wasnt looking as good as he was with that smirk on his face i would have loved to make him kick his kwn butt. I said,"Oh was this before or after the lookout email for Akshith's tshirt?"

He took out my laptop from a drawer beside him and held it up as he stood and said," If u want this, i need a neat apology ending with im sorry for being such a bad guest." I replied with seething sweetness in my voice,"Aww u arent that bad of a guest just the worst one we ever had. Keep the mac, im just gonna wake up deepti amma and u can give her ur neat apologies." He stepped forward to face me, i stepped back as he did so, in less than a minute i was pinned to the back of the door as he just bolted it standing a foot far from he, Jesus why are you doing this to me!!!.

Nila we must focus, focus on getting the laptop not his beautifully curved smirk.
I stepped forward and he still didnt move back, i stood on my tiptoes and held his arm the one with my laptop, he was shocked would be an understatement, i pinched it sooo fucking hard. That must have hurt af,yet, he had no reaction. He said," What are you now a toddler as well as a robber?". I am now dangerously close to him, Nila mission abort mission ABORT, but instead i said," I am gonna scream so hard in 5 secs that everyone is gonna come running here." I started counting 5, 4, 3, 2 anddddddd my mac has safely reached its owner.

Nila's pov -
I went back to the terrace room with my mac, sent dave the updated version of the code, wrote an apology email, freshened up and put on a simple black kurta with jeans stolen from Aru's wardrobe. It is now 8 am, Aru is on leave for today and Isha said that she was on the night shift and last night said," If any ONE of you wakes me up before 9 am i will come for the blood of not just you but your next 7 generations, also love u guys, good night!!"

I went downstairs to the living room where nana was watching the news and amma was plucking the flowers of her hibiscus plant just outside the door. I started working and amma got me some coffee, i didnt even ask her for it!! God i love her! Around 9 am, the princess of the household Aru entered after freshening up, Isha was still asleep.

Nani and aunty came downstairs with a plate full of barfis they made. Nani smacked Aru's hand as she was about to take one and said," First puja and then sweets." Aru was supposed to do a Gauri puja and then the wedding works can officially begin. She started her puja with nani and amma sitting on either side of her and telling her what to do. I put down my mac and was in the middle of braiding my hair when aunty said," Ayo, what happened to your hair the ends became red. Did u forget to apply oil for a very long time?"( Ayo is telugu slang for oh no!)
I said ,"No aunty, i just colored it temporaraily, it will be gone in maybe another 4 washes." Aunty continued in a mocking tone," Tch tch tch this generation is completely crazy." I simpy smiled and got back to work.

After 45 mins and a completed puja during which Isha entered to see Aru performing such rituals with a kick in the crotch level hangover. It was now time for barfi, his majesty arrived at the last 5 mins and sat beside nana to watch news. We were all taking having the barfis when i said," Nani these are the best kaju barfis i have ever had, what did u add to them." His majesty replied barely audible to even himself ," A bottle of anti-headaches caused by nila." I heard it amd im pretty sure Aru did as well. Nani said," Now now u are just buttering me up for more mithai, and it has worked im gonna make more for u."

Isha left after breakfast and i was talking to Aru when nana called everyone to the living room.
