My Heart Snatcher 💖

Chapter-37

"What's the matter Vicky? You slept for too long today...." Dadi asked as he came down for breakfast and he couldn't help but to smile at her question.

I can't tell you the real reason Dadi.... He thought and quickly glanced at Avni who was coming there with tea.

After she left him alone in the room he was not able to get out of the bed. He got stuck in  the moment in which he felt the touch of her soft  lips on his neck. His poor heart wanted to relive that moment again and again. He knew she was in sleep and it was nothing deliberately but now seeing her once again he was craving for her touch.

Seeing his stare on herself , she immediately averted her gaze from him and sat down silently on the chair. She was getting uncomfortable in his presence. After whatever happened in morning, she was not able to look into his eyes. Her breath started getting heavier just remembering in which position she woke up today. Her throat went dry and she felt all heated up. Her body started reacting in a completely strange way.

She was already on the edge of nervousness when Vikrant sat down beside. Her heart started pounding faster in his closeness. She immediately confined herself in her chair. She licked her lips in nervousness which were getting dry. The heat she was feeling was getting unbearable,in order to sooth herself she took a glass full of water and started gulping it when suddenly Vikrant held her  hand under the table and she choked.
She started coughing to get her breath back.

"Avni what happened?....." Dadi and her mother asked while getting worried for her.

"Vicky hurry up, rub her back..." Dadi said worriedly and he immediately left her hand and was about to touch her back when she responded.

"No... No dadi ,Ma... It's ok...." Avni replied hurriedly to stop his extended hand.

"I just choked on water... I am fine now...." She answered while catching her breath and took a quick glance at him who was already looking at her with concerns.

"All right.... But please be careful..." Dadi said and she nodded.

"Are you all right?....." He asked slowly.

Humm..." She answered shortly and was finally about to relax when her breath hitched when once again he held her hand. She immediately looked at him confusingly but he avoided any eye contact with her and started talking to Bulbul and others.

Avni was shocked at his action. She was wiggling her hand in his grip but she couldn't free herself as he tightened his grip.

"Leave my hand...." She whispered  meekly while grinding her teeth and thinning her brows but he did completely opposite of what she said. He interlocked his fingers with hers and started caressing the back of her palm with his thumb making her flinch at her place.

"Look Di... Today, what did Ma has made for you...." Bulbul exclaimed and she tried to compose herself.

"Huhh... Oh.... What have you made Ma?....." Avni asked hiding her struggle.

"What else...Your favorite... Chhole Bhature....." Bulbul announced in sarcasm and started laughing.

Listening to this she forgot her situation and a  big smile erupted in her face.

"Really.... Thanks Ma...." Avni said getting astonished with sparkling eyes and her mother smiled at her gesture.

"You know Jiju..... This is Di's weakness... She has to have Chhole bhature atleast twice a week. She loves this so much that  she can do any work for you if she gets Chhole bhature in return. . ." She said while laughing and gaining a furious look from Avni.
