"NIMRAT"

Nimrat flinched a little hearing the loud voice of Neeta aunty who stood beside her  with a concern laced on her face.

"Ji- ji Neeta Aunty. Aapko kuch chahiye" Nimrat asked , her voice merely above a whisper as she now stirred the Burnt poha.

(Yes Neeta Aunty. Do you need something)

"Tum mujhe batao. Dhyan kaha hai tumhara , kabse aawaz laga rahi hun. Your were about to burn yourself Nimrat beta. Whats wrong?"

(You tell me. Where are you lost)

Nimrat looked down , her hand being just an inch away from the burning hot kadhai while the poha was completely burned.

For how much long was she lost?

A subtle sigh left her lips before she looked at Neeta aunty with a small sheepish smile on her face. Shaking her head at the carelessness of Nimrat , the old lady clutched her arms softly , guiding her to the small chair of kitchen , making her sit before sitting infront of her.

"Stop pretending. Did something happen between you and Yuvaan yesterday? Are you thinking about that?" Just at the mention of his name , Nimdat stiffed.  Her heart skipping a couple of beats making her frown in displeasure. Not again.

The same thing which was happening from the moment he left after wishing her a 'good night' more precisely ruining her night with his thoughts because after the stunt he pulled yesterday,  there was no way of her getting a single ounce of sleep. Resulting her to be cranky , annoyed and completely lost in his thoughts and strange behavior since morning.

"Nimrat"

"Huh?"

"You are again thinking something , what is it? And why are you so red? Are you okay beta? You are not having fever,  right?" Neeta aunty placed her hand on Nimrat's forehead in worry , seeing her behaving strange from morning.

"Nahi , kuch bhi toh nahi aunty. Wo kal raat.....garmi , ha garmi zyada thi na isliye neend nhi aai mujhe , bss aur kuch nhi. Wow , kitna accha mausam ho raha haina? Chaliye mai jati hun garden mai aur office bhi toh jana hai , haa office. Okay byy"

(No , nothing at all Aunty. Yesterday night it was really......hot , yeah hot so I couldn't sleep , that's all. Wow , what a nice weather , right? I will go to the garden then and office , I have to go to the office too. Okay byy)

Nimrat turned around and closed her eyes in embarrassment,  not knowing of what nonsense she blabbered in front of the now confused Neeta aunty. She ran out of kitchen. Her steps fast as she practically ran out there due to the embarrassment she caused herself. It was till Nimrat stumbled in her steps , getting collid with a very chirpy Aryan . Her brows frowning more if possible.

"Aree aree metro train , dhyan se. Itni jaldi kaha ki hai aur ye subah subah muhh kyun bana rakha hai aapne" Aryan asked , his eyes curious.
