Destructive Desires

Chapter 22

In no time Sameer came with 15 men all of then burly , wearing suits they all were standing in the living room with Sandhya and Satvik sitting on the sofa
With a notepad and a pen in her had she stated
‘’there are 12 of you so you will work in team of 3 , most of the house has been cleaned so one team will clean the living area , dining area and the guests room , one team will tend the lawn , other will go and bring the ingredients from the market , fourth team will arrange the table in the garden , now everyone understand ‘’
‘’yes madam’’ all the men replied in unison , Satvik and Sameer were shocked to see how pumped up their man were
Soon the peaceful house burst into chaos with Sandhya instructing everyone
‘’careful with the crockery that’s expensive ‘’
‘’take out the candles that  from the cabinet in the storage room’’
‘’the bedsheets of the guest room have to be white so don’t bring out the dark ones’’
‘’god finally the grocery came’’ there was no time for Sandhya to breathe , and Satvik was roaming around her like a dog wagging it’s tail ‘’can I help’’
‘’please let me help you’’ seeing his boss like this Sameer really believed that the madam is some kind of witch
‘’okay you can help me , Sameer and you can cut the vegetables into thin slices , till I get the rest of the things’’ nodding their heads they started cutting the vegetables but Satvik was so bad at it , all the pieces were of different shapes on the other hand Sameer was prefect in it with even thin pieces
‘’give me that’’ Satvik took Sameer’s plate and slid his plate towards him , Sandhya came back and saw finely cut vegetables ‘’wow Satvik I didn’t knew you were so good at it well done’’ Satvik was beaming with happiness but in Sameer’s eye he looked like a dog , wagging it’s tail happily after getting a compliment from his master , also he felt unfair that his boss took all the credit for his work.
After a long time everything was done and just in time The client’s family was also here both husband and wife went towards the gate to greet them and on their way Sandhya saw an elderly couple the woman was beautiful with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes where as the man had brown hair and brown eyes , and with them stood probably their son with brown hair and blue eyes suddenly a punch landed on Satvik’s face it was so sudden and fast that no one could react to it , loosing his balance for a second Satvik composed himself ‘’oh my god , are you alright’’ Sandhya rushed towards Satvik inspecting his face his lips were slightly torn ‘’one minute darling’’ saying this Satvik landed an another punch on that brown hair blue eyed person who just punched him
Gasp Sandhya was shocked and thought it would turn into a fight so she stood between them ‘’stop it what are you doing’’ turning towards Satvik she placed her hands on his chest and made him stood far away
‘’oh dear it looks like you are new to this they both greet this way only , don’t worry about it’’ the woman said smiling at her.
‘’I am sorry for their interaction like this , allow me to introduce myself I am Joseph Romani , this is my wife Bella and my son Alex’’ the man introduced his family
‘’sorry for being rude who you might be dear’’ Bella asked Sandhya , before she can answer , Satvik spoke she is my wife , everyone’s jaw dropped listening to this
‘’when did it happen’’ asked Alex , ‘’well it was sudden , for now come inside’’ Stavik said leading them inside

‘’oh dear no need to be bothered , come sit with us now’’ Bella urged Sandhya as she brought drinks for them , making her sit beside her ‘’my gosh you are so beautiful ‘’ feeling shy Sandhya murmured a quick thankyou , their talk continued until lunch time now they all were seated in the garden for their lunch there was variety of food and it all looked so appetizing
‘’oh my god Sandhya it is so tasty’’ Alex said devouring the food , ‘’yes it’s very delicious’’ Joseph also had the same reaction like Alex
‘’yes it’s true honey , it’s delicious , I think you should be a chef’’ Bella said smiling towards her
‘’actually I may not be a chef but I own a small restaurant’’
‘’really’’ all three of them said in unison ‘’I think it’s my favourite restaurant’’ Alex exclaimed ‘’you haven’t been there yet’’ Sandhya said smiling
‘’Okay everything aside tell me about how you two met’’ Bella asked in excitement , where as Sandhya and Satvik were at loss of words they surely can’t say the real reason ‘’it was a warm spring morning , I went to the book fest which I have been looking forward there was a rush of people , but at the section where I was standing it was empty because people didn’t showed interest in that genre , I was to engrossed to notice that someone came up behind me to take the same book as the one I was holding , the rustling of pages made me snap my heads towards the noice and I saw , Satvik standing there’’ she turned towards Satvik and continued ‘’ my previous attention was all gone when I looked in his eyes , my dark brown ones were reflecting in his black one’s , I was not able to look away from him , I was curious why he choose that book because it was not very well known one but before I can ask him about that he disappeared in an instant only to reappear in my restaurant after some days with same book in hand and a bunch of flowers ‘’
All this while she was looking in his eyes for Satvik this moment felt surreal her hair dancing with the wind , her eyes shining in the sunlight , what she said felt so real that for a moment Satvik believed it that this was their first meeting the start of their story
‘’I first saw her from the outside of her restaurant , it was nothing special but my heart said otherwise , the image of her laughing was imprinted in my mind and from that day I frequently visited her restaurant but she didn’t noticed me , then I hear her talking about the book fest so I decided to join it , I came prepared I read her favourite book , read about the author so I can start a conversation with her but when for the first time she looked at me all my courage disappeared just like me , after that I cursed myself for being a coward and went to directly tell her about my feelings that it was not the book that I liked but it was her who I liked’’ Satvik said with much tenderness as if given a chance once again he will definitely want their first meeting to be like this
‘’oh my god it’s so romantic , I can’t believe it , I am so happy for you two’’ Bella said with happiness in her voice.
