Imposter for hire

Part 37.

Something is burning....but it's not food that's for sure.....you'll have to find out....but here is a hint.........

Back to Malaysia.
Bungalow.
"Finally am done with the cooking....it's only left for the microwave to do it's course...then the lasagna is ready to be eaten......I can't wait to see Shivaay's face...thinking I ONLY can cook aloo puri and paratha....any minute now," Anika said to herself.

Coincidentally the microwave rings and so as the door bell.

"Perfect the lasagna is ready and so as the lasagna,"Anika said to herself.

The door bell then rang again.

"Hold your horses I said am coming !!" Anika shouted.

She turned off the microwave.....took the mittens.....and then removed the lasagna and put on the kitchen counter.

She was about to serve....when she heard the door bell ringing again.

"Shoot...I totally forgot about Shivaay....let me go before he starts his lecture on security and safety....once he starts he never finishes that's for sure," Anika said to herself.

She opened the door.

"Bani....why were you taking long didn't I tell you that we are in a new city...moreover country.......," Shivaay said interrupted by her.

"Sssh....will you stop talking and give me a room to speak( placing her fingers on his lips)?" Anika asked.

Shivaay nodded his head agreeing to her demands because he was smitten by her actions.

"The reason why I was taking long....is because I was making supper....so let's hurry before it gets cold....come on," Anika explained dragging him....then she turned not seeing him moving.

"Shivaay why are you not moving?" Anika asked confused.

"Because you weren't giving me a room to speak you kept talking over and over," Shivaay replied.

"So...what's going on Shivaay?" Anika asked confused.

"Well...I know this came in short notice....but I invited my friend here over for dinner....if that's okay with you?" Shivaay asked nervously.

"Sure Shivaay you don't need to ask my permission.....your friends are always invited," Anika replied not knowing the surprise installed for her.

"Thanks...I'll go and bring her," Shivaay replied leaving.

"Her....it's she??!!" Anika asked concerned.

Shivaay came with Naina.

"Naina you remember Bani  right?" Shivaay introduced.

"Yes....nice to meet you once again," Naina replied ( gesturing to shake her hands).

"Same here," Anika replied faking her smile.

"Alright guys I'll be back... Naina make yourself comfortable....Bani would you please keep her company...I'll be back," Shivaay replied leaving.

He left.

"Naina you go ahead BRB," Anika replied.

"Okay," Naina replied walking in.

Anika went after him....she was looking for her and saw him packing shopping bags.

"Bani.... what part of keeping company doesn't you get?" Shivaay asked confused...seeing her there.

"That's why am here....there was only food both for us....so how will........?" Anika asked interrupted by him.

"It's fine....good thing I brought groceries....you go and keep her company whereas I'll prepare the food," Shivaay replied.

"On seconds thought...I'll cook....whereas you keep her company....after all she is your friend right?" Anika replied.

"Okay fine," Shivaay replied.

"Good then give me the groceries....I'll go and start cooking," Anika replied..... Shivaay giving her and her taking it roughly.

She left.

"What the hell is going with her.... anyways....I don't have time for all this....I have bags to bring in," Shivaay said to himself...taking the bags inside.

Later on.

Shivaay and Naina are sitting on the coach eating the lasagna that Anika made specifically for her and Shivaay.

Anika on the other side is the one preparing dinner.

She's cutting the tomatoes and onions.

She sees Naina feeding Shivaay.

"First that clingy bitch Ragini...now her....why is she feeding Shivaay.... doesn't he have his own hands to eat...... Ouch !!! ( Anika spoke aloud)....( She pierced her finger with the knife she was cutting with),'' Anika thought.

Shivaay and Naina turned facing towards her.

"I mean aww....it's good seeing the both of you having fun and enjoying each other company....( hiding her hands).....if you excuse me I'll be back," Anika said.

"Why anything wrong?" Shivaay asked concerned.

"Shivaay why are you always inquisitive..... anyways...if you have to know...to wipe myself...if you excuse me I'll go," Anika explained leaving.

She left.

She closed the door.

"Anika compose yourself...you should think about Shivaay...he came to spend some quality time with his friend....and am busy ruining it...by getting unnecessarily jealous....( Smells smoke).....ooh no....I forget  the food on the gas cooker," Anika replied hurrying to the kitchen.

At the same time...before the smoke.

"Wow...how so cute," Naina said.

"Huh??!!" Shivaay asked confused.

"Don't you still get it?" Naina asked.

"Get what exactly?" Shivaay asked confused.

"I smell jealousy," Naina replied.

"Jealousy...but why was Bani jealous....I mean...we only share a platonic relationship?" Shivaay asked more confused.

"You still don't see it..huh??" Naina asked.

"See what?" Shivaay asked getting more confused.

"She likes you Shivaay...I mean loves you," Naina replied.

"Loves me?" Shivaay asked confused.

"Yes silly after all I am a woman I can tell...just an advice Shivaay do tell her how you also genuinely feel about her alright?" Naina advised.

Back to the food crisis.

Anika walks in.

She founds Shivaay already removed the food...it's half burnt.

"Am sorry guys...you guys go back to the living room...I'll make another," Anika apologized.

"No it's okay...am still full from the lasagna...moreover Raghav must be coming home...I should go," Naina replied leaving.

She left.

"So....am sorry...I didn't mean to ruin your time with her....invite her tomorrow....you won't be disappointed....I'll try my best to stay away.....," Anika replied interrupted by Shivaay placing his fingers on her lips.

"Bani...you don't need to justify yourself....what happened... happened....we can't undo it...as long as everyone is safe...am fine... okay....now come on let's eat...the half which is unburnt," Shivaay replied.

They then sat down and started eating with Shivaay feeding her  and her admiring him....each passing day....she loved him more.
