The Pursuit Of Love

10

Avyaan got up late , as he slept even 30 minutes after the small act that happened last night , which ended up with him being called 'mean'

The snatching of the phone from his hands when all he was doing was clearing up his mails got him really angry and that was quite natural but he was somehow sweet to her and a jerk as well.

After taking a long warm bath ,he got ready in his casuals, he was at home today and tomorrow as well , considering it was his brother's birthday the following day.

Walking out of the room , he descended down the stairs to see nobody in the hall , assuming the possibilities of the presence of everyone at different places in their huge ass mansion , he walked straight to the kitchen , feeling hungry.

As he entered the kitchen , his steps halted as he looked at Varahi who was wearing a light green saree with red embroidery .Once in a while since the winters started Pretty and matching bangles which made a soft clicking sound every time she moved her hand to chop the veggies.

"Good Morning Sir" Ritika said as she entered the kitchen with a tray in her hands .

"Good Morning, Ritika" Avyaan replied back looking at her , knowing that now his wife was looking at them. At Him.

"Good Morning" Varahi wished him as he moved closer, looking for what was being cooked and what was already cooked , while she got back to chopping her veggies.

"Morning" Avyaan replied , making Varahi look at him . Meanie .

" Fried Aloo and prantha or noodles?" Varahi asked, looking at Avyaan who got settled on the stool resting his hands on the counter.

"How much time would these noodles take?"

"15-20 minutes more," Varahi said, chopping the capsicum while Ritika was doing the dishes.

"I don't want to eat paratha, but I am hungry, '' Avyaan said while Varahi asked Ritika to take the sweet out.

Washing her hands , Ritika went to the fridge and took out a box containing Rasmalai.

"Sir , here" Ritika said, handing the bowl to Avyaan and kept the box containing one more Rasmalai on the counter.

Avyaan took the bowl and started eating,
"Whose is this?" Avyaan asked, pointing towards the other one in the box.

"Mam's '' Ritika said as she was rinsing the noodles , he nodded and kept the bowl aside.

"Eat mine too" Varahi said , she was done with her chopping, moving towards the counter.

"Won't you eat?" Avyaan asked, looking at the sweet and then his wife. Serving the other one in his bowl too , she forwarded the bowl to him

"Kya pata yeh kha kar aap mujhse mitha-mitha bolne lag jaye" Varahi said , teasing him while Avyaan's hands halted in the air, he looked at her and kept the spoon back into the bowl.

"Kha lo tum-"

"Acha , nahi nahi , I was kidding" Varahi said immediately, while both the couple heard a chuckle from the third person present in the kitchen.

The couple looked at her , who was looking at them in aww.

"Cute" Ritika chuckled before walking out of the kitchen.

"What cu-" Avyaan's words were cutted off in between as the speaker left the kitchen.

"Eat it" ... "You eat too" Avyaan said forwarding the bowl towards her ,

"Feed me" Varahi said softly to only get a done look from her husband.

"You have hands , by god's grace , they are even working, time to thank god , now , please do the honours and have it" Avyaan completed sarcastically, crossing his arms above his chest.
