Manmarziya

Chapter 6

VISHAKHA's POV

I entered my room and closed the door behind me. Taking a deep breath I removed my Dupatta threw it on the bed and started pulling my earrings.

keeping one on the Vanity I moved towards my other ear. I looked at myself in the mirror and the scene of him saving me flashed across my eyes.

How he jumped between that man and me and that Wooden cue hitting him instead of me--

wait

The wooden cue

It broke on his back.

He is injured but he denied it when Mami Ji asked us. he must have denied it so as not to make them worried.

But what now? how will he get his wounds treated?

I sat on the bed while biting my nails. After a few minutes, I heard a knock on my door.

I stood up and walked towards the door to open it. As I opened it Roop stood in front of me with a big smile on her face..almost questionable.

I looked down at her hand which held a glass and I immediately knew what was in it.

"No, not happening," I said walking towards my bed and plopping on it

"Yes, it is happening," she said and made her way toward me, forwarding the glass

"Mujhe nhi Pina," I said throwing her a disgusted look

( I don't wish to drink it)

" Are, Bua ji ne kitne pyar se banaya hai. Unse toh tu peene se Rahi isliye ye Zimmedari mujhe saupi gyi hai, chal ab zyada natak nahi. Nak band krke pile"

( Bua Ji has made it with so much love. She knew you wouldn't drink it so she gave me the responsibility of making you finish this. Now cut the drama and drink it)

"No" I was adamant

"Zeher nahi h, Haldi wala doodh hi hai " she replied bringing the glass closer to me

(It's not a poison, just milk with turmeric)

I hated milk as a child. Well I still do

" Wahi, dhoodh hai, woh bhi Haldi wal--" I gave my excuse and something struck me

(Exactly it's milk, that too with turmeric--)

Haldi

I knew what I had to do

I immediately stood up and looked at Roop with a grin on my face.

She eyed me and raised her eyebrows

"Thank you much," I said hugging her

" Leave me, if this is your trick to avoid the milk then nope I am not falling for it "

She said distancing me from her and looking at me with her stern eyes

"Aww, my poor baby, such a naive person you are. Come give the glass to me I'll drink it "

With that I took the glass from her and keeping a stone in my heart, I drank it.

Just for him

I finished it and immediately made an unpleasant face and gave her the empty glass.

"Shabash. Come now comes the good part " she said and I looked at her with confusion

" I am cooking kheer for everyone, come with me. Be my assistant" she said and I smiled and replied "Sure"

Just then Biji entered the room and noticed the empty glass on Roop's hand

She surprisingly questioned Roop if I had finished it to which she replied positively

"Bua ji, I am taking Vishu with me. I am cooking Kheer" she informed her and we went to the kitchen to keep the glass

I tried sneaking some Haldi but couldn't because Biji entered too.

Just when we were about to enter Roop's house I clutched my stomach and whined

" What happened?" Roop asked

" I don't know. Suddenly my stomach's aching. " I replied whining even more

" But why it was fine a while earlier" she asked with concerned eyes

"Roop you go inside, I'll come afterward," I told her

She nodded and said "If you don't feel better then no need to come. I will come after cooking, with a bowl of Kheer"

I smiled softly and agreed

Then she held my hand and turned towards my home. As our houses are just in front of each other.

I panicked

"DON'T" I cleared my throat " I mean Don't worry I will go by myself, you go inside"

" Are you sure? " She asked and I assured her

She went inside her house and I pretended to cross the distance and go to my home.

I peeped behind my shoulders to check if she was inside and when I was confirmed that she was, I entered my house sneakily

I tiptoed towards the kitchen hoping in my life that Biji would not be there and to my relief, she was not.

I hurriedly made turmeric paste and rushed outside.

I immediately went to Yuvraj Veer ji's house but not inside instead towards his terrace. I thought of going to my terrace but the risk of getting caught was  more because the way of the terrace is from inside in my home.

But in Veer ji's house, it's from the porch,
(Angan/baramda)

I jumped from his house terrace to others and continued till I was on the Terrace of Vansh's house.

There he stood standing and staring at the starry night. Behind him was a cot with a thin blanket kept on it.

I thought of Scaring him but dropped the idea as he would definitely scream or at least make some noise which would attract attention and it's not good for me.

Well neither of us but especially for me cause I am the one who dared to sneak to his terrace at night.

Genius

I dusted off non-existent dirt from my shoulders

"I am brave to do this I should at least get awarded for my courage. Okay, stop. Just approach him" I thought to myself

But before I could do anything he turned back to move towards the cot and his eyes met mine. Within fractions of a second, those eyes widened in Shock

"What the, What are you doing here" he asked almost immediately and came towards me.

I smiled at him innocently and replied

"Nothing just came to say hi"

He made a questionable face and looked around to see if someone was on their terrace and had a chance to see us,

His Body was stiff, his face held the worry and fear but most importantly his eyes had surprise and amazement.

If I was not wrong. It had always been difficult to read his emotions.

He was a master to hide his feelings from his father and soon it became a part of him. But with time I at least manage to read some emotions.

Well, he should be amazed, it's not every day that you get the sight of Vishakha Arora sneaking on your terrace at night.
