Heart On The Edge

Chapter 24

ADARSH'S POV

Swami didn't utter a word while he put bandage on my cuts. Kashvi didn't look at me, her back towards me, sitting on diagonal sofa but twisting her neck to see what's up with my hand. After Swami was done, he went in his room to freshen up for work.
Kashvi and I sat in silence for 30 seconds before she got up to leave, I held her hand but I forgot I cut my hand so I won't do that and shit it worked because my hand hurt the moment I touched her

"Isss! Aa!"

I withdrew my hand from her and she turned at my voice and immediately sat beside me and took my hand in hers

"Dhyan se Darsh!"

She inspected my hand for a bit then looked at me

"Tum decide karlo, Adarsh ya Darsh? Kyunki jab Darsh se wapas Adarsh bolti ho na tab bada dil dukhta hai."

I confessed

"Harkate hi aisi hai tumhari. Tumhari harkatto se dusro ka dil dukta hai uska kya?"

"I just wanted to make you stay. Let my intrusive thoughts win"

"You intrusive thoughts are the reason we are here...fucking blackmailer."

"So what is it? Adarsh or Darsh?"

Let it be Darsh
Maa Durga let it be Darsh!

She dug in her pocket and took out the root cause of all problems. No not me! I won't fit in her pocket. He took out the drug packet. She tucked them in my jeans pocket

"Found your heroin lying on the floor. Thought you might need it Adarsh"

She emphasized on Adarsh.
Wow Maa Durga..I know I am not your favorite but come on. What does a man need to do to get a nickname around here.

She got up and started walking away.

"You know what, I do need my heroin."

I called her and she stopped but didn't turn

"But it turns out that I need my heroine with a 'e' more"

She turned back at my words.

"And if this concerns her so much. Then I don't need it"

"I am not your heroine."

"Sure"

I said with a smirk.
Swami came down and scanned the room to know the mood

"Main soch raha tha if Kashvi could join us in cafe today. Since you cut yourself. "

"Yeah, I'll join you."

Kashvi said. I just wore something presentable and we walked to the cafe. The whole time Kashvi didn't talk to me. But her eyes kept checking if I was okay. I taught her a few things that ppl ordered, she just did as I said but didn't talk to me at all.
Deki had no clue what was going on, she just knew something was off between me and Kashvi and because of that we couldn't have sex.

Mid day Kashvi declared she will make tonight's dinner. She wanted to go home early but didn't know the route properly. Swami was working and she wasn't talking to me.
When we got home, she asked Swami to order prawns and chicken so that she can cook that. Now the thing is...I have prawns allergy. I instructed everyone to keep their mouths shut and do whatever she says.
She asked Deki for help in the kitchen. Because she feared Swami may start talking abt things that happened lately.
She also instructed us to stay in our rooms until she called us.

After 2 hours, she called us.
The dinning table was set. The crockery we use never seemed pretty to us but now it did. 2 scented candles, neetly placed food. The prawns never looked sooooo tempting. The chicken! No words.
Because of Kashvi, this feels like a family dinner now. Sure there are days when me, Deki, Dad, Swami had family dinners, but they never felt so warm before.
Kashvi was being a good hostess. Asking everyone if they need anything etc.
