Haseena

I got wheeled into his house by him. The smell of him immediately reached by nostrils as I entered. But the house didn't feel as his home rather it felt....felt nothing.
His warmth which had always flattered me back then when I enter his home in Lucknow, was missing.

However, let's talk about him. All this while he handled me as if I am a glass doll.

"Chai ya coffee?" He asked drawing my attention to him.

"Umm, chai!" I replied. He showed me two fingers lipsing "two minutes" and moved into the kitchen. I sat there running a gaze on the house. To be honest this house is very different from that home. It wasn't decorated but was just set up. A set of sofas, a centre table, a television and two large selves of books couldn't manage to complete the huge hall. Basically His house was devoid of any emotions which could make it a home.

I don't know why but a sudden urge to make his house turn into a home filled my heart. I saw him coming with two cups. He handed me one of them with a smile. I took a sip and ohh! My lord, how I missed this tea. The way the ginger and cardamom hit my throat healing it was a eternal peace for me. I am a huge fan of chai and especially when it's like this.

"Shakkar toh thik hai na?" He asked me. Before I could say he continued.

"Adha chammach dala tha!" He said. It fluttered me that he still remembers the amount of sugar I like in my tea. I couldn't help the blush slowly coating my cheeks. I slowly nodded but maybe he noticed me blushing as a charming smile appeared on his face while he focused on his tea. We completed our tea in silence. After that he took me to a room which is my room maybe.

The room wasn't decorated but looked organised as if he had taken some effort to organise it as it looked better than the drawing room.

"Aap rest kijiye, hum lunch ke liye bulane aayenge!" He said and picked me in his arms to put me on the bed. I didn't startle this time cause he has been doing this frequently asked if it is easy to pick me up than to wheel.

He put me down on the bed. I tried a lot but I couldn't control myself from being lost in his hazel eyes. He took was looking into my eyes which is making me feel something unreal. He was standing straight after bending and putting me on the bed when I left a tug at my neck. I looked down breaking the eye contact and I saw that his silver locket was stuck with mine. My hands went there to untangle it. While I was doing it I could feel his gaze on me which made me gulp and I didn't even dare to back into those eyes because of I do then this might end into something I would regret later.

However I successfully but unfortunately untangled it. By that time my fingers that started shivering a bit as his gaze making me feel ummmmm!

Anubhav

Hmm, I like my effect on her damn! Infact I love it. Her eyes looked pleasured. Oh how badly I want to witness this pleasure in her eyes. She averted her gaze from my eyes as she completed untangling them.

I left a breath controlling my emotions and got up from her.

"Hum chalte hain, kuch chahiye hoga toh awaz dena agar na sune toh call kar lena!" I said and she nodded. Although my heart is refusing to go away from her, I know that there's still ice in between us and it needs time to break. I don't want to rush and make things uncomfortable for her.

I hurriedly to the kitchen to make a healthy lunch for her. My cook is on leave so I had to do it myself. I opened my phone to find some nutritious lunch ideas so that she gets enough nutrients.

After an hour of searching I got an idea of what to serve her so I started my work.

Haseena was as usual reading her book when she heard a knock on the door. She asked to come in and Anubhav entered with a tray in his hand.

"Arey sir aapne kyun takleef ki aap hume bula lete!" She said.

"Hume koi takleef nahi hui!" He said and put the tray in front of her. He unfolded her foldable bed table and put the tray upon it to make it easy for her to eat.

"Sir aap nahi khaenge?" She asked hesitatly as she only one plate of food.

"Umm, hum-hum kha lenge aap khaiye na!" He said nervously.

"Aap bhi apna khana le aiye na sir, hume acha lagega!" She sweetly requested. And ofcourse he couldn't deny that. So he went to get his food which made her smile in victory.

After some time he came back. She looked at the plate to find it quite healthy. Some amount of rice, dal, two chapattis, paneer burji, salad yogurt and some fruits. She took a bite and immediately closed her eyes in bliss. His handmade food was something she could enjoy her whole life. He smiled seeing that blissful expression on her face but still to confirm he asked.

"Khana thik hai?" He asked.

"Bohot acha hai sir, bohot jyada!" She said making his heart flutter. He felt like blushing but somehow controlled himself.

After sometime Haseena noticed that he was having problem to eat with his hand.

"Sir kya hua? Aap thik se kha nahi paa rahe?" She asked being concerned.

"Nahi nahi kuch nahi!"

"Bataiye na, please!" She said.

"Wo khana banate waqt jal gaya haath thoda but it's fine, aap khaiye please!" He said. But haseena being haseena.

"Hum khila dein aapko?" She asked hesitatly not looking at him.

"Haan! Ah-b are you sure?" He thought to deny but how could he when the offer was from her and why would he miss a chance to eat from her hands.

"Unm-ji sir!"

"Th-thik hai!" He replied fumbling. Haseena tore a piece of chapati and showed it to him. He opened his mouth and engulfed the food in his mouth maintaining an intense gaze on her while she avoided to look at him.
Unknowingly his cold lips slightly touched her fingers making her inside shiver. He smirked seeing his effect on her

"Hume acha laga apna pravav dekh kar aap par!" He flirted after ages. She looked at him being stunned.

"Majak, Majak kar rahe the!" He said managing the situation. She nodded.

After some time they completed eating smiling and talking.

"Shukriya!" She said smiling.

"Kisliye?"

"Humare liye itna sab karne ke liye!"she replied. He was about to reply when her phone rang.
