The house was silent after ishan left. Shubman was scrolling through his phone sitting on the bed of ishan's room which is temporarily his room now.
Suddenly, he realised that he is hungry as he didn't take his lunch. He often does that. A knock on his door made him flinch a bit..but soon he realised who the person might be.
He stood up and opened the door just to find someone whom he doesn't want to be with.
"Sorry for disturbing you but I've made some pancakes as I didn't have my lunch today. I made some for you too, you may join me downstairs"
Shubman's POV:
And she left....I felt butterflies in my stomach. That's just a soulmate thing. Ugh I don't want to be a soulmate of this nagging kid.
I was hungry, so I had to go down to eat.
The food smelled and looked tasty. Wasn't she wanting me not to be here? Then why is she caring for me? I asked,
"Why did you cook for me?"
She was busy arranging dishes and serving food. Still, she managed to stop everything, look at me and speak,
"Although I don't want you to be here but I can't push you out because that's not what I've been taught. Neither you care for me, nor I do, but this is my duty, so... please sit down"
That was impressive. I sat down. I didn't care about anyone when I got MY food because I was hungryyyy.
She also avoided looking at me and ate her food sitting a seat away from me. Although aggressive and nagging, yet a warm hearted girl like his brother.
"I'm done eating, should I help you washing the dishes?"
"Well-
ohh ishan is calling"
As soon as she got the call, she turned it to speaker mode and came running towards me with a smile. Aw, why would she even do that? That's so sweet.
OTP(call)
Ishan : I just landed, safely. What's the condition there? Not at all fighting right?
Needhi : Bhaiya, be safe in the rest of your journey, call me as soon as you reach home.
Ishan : fine but what about shubman? Don't tell me he left already...?!
Shubman : nahh, I'm there.
Ishan : Are you guys quarrelling?
Needhi : Nope, we're expecting not to...now it all depends upon the circumstances.
Ishan : You better not.
Shubman : Fine papa
Ishan : c'mon stop it. Okay, I'll decline the call because I have much to do now.
Needhi : Take care ishannn. Will miss you, byeeee
Shubman : Byee ishan.
Ishan : Byee babies.
DECLINE
"Ahh...thank god he landed safely"
Needhi said and kept her phone on the table and went to do the dishes. I followed her.
"I'll help you to do the dishes.."
She started to wash the dishes,
"You don't have to. Go and take rest. I'll call you downstairs as soon as the dinner is ready"
I kept looking at her.
"Who's going to make the dinner? Maid?"
She kept avoiding eye contact...smoothly washing the dishes.
"Nope...me"
I got stunned.
"You?"
She looked at me.
"Yeah..?"
"You can cook? I will not die right?"
She crossed her arms, saying,
"Well, you can cook yourself something if it feels like poison"
I held my ears, smiling.
"I'm sorry. I'll help you cook"
She went back to do the dishes.
"Go and rest now... uncle!"
My eyes widened.
"UNCLE? WHY DID YOU SAY THIS?"
"I just wanted to...now go!"
I had to leave.
"Urghhhh"
But she is so sweet. Not at all as I was thinking.
