Ehsaas : Her love starts where his' ends

10. Special gifts

Aarna went to the kitchen..
Anita and Swati were present there , doing something.

Swati : " Aarna beta tum aa gayi "
Aarna : Yes Chachi.

Swati came near Aarna and lifted her face by putting her fingers below her chin..

Swati : You are looking so beautiful beta.
Aarna smiled and replied thanks..
Anita : Aarna beta , I and your Chachi are outside , if you need our help then just call us. And beta you don't need to cook much , just make something sweet for the sake of the ritual and the cooks will prepare rest of the breakfast.
Aarna : okay maa..

With this Swati and Anita leave...

Aarna did as Niskarsh told her to..

Aarna : excuse me ( called a servant )
Servant : yes mam. Do you need something.
Aarna : can you all please go outside. I will make everything on my own , I don't need anyone's help.
Servant : As you wish madam..

They all went outside the kitchen...
Aarna took a breath of relief.

Aarna : What to do now ? Nishi ji told me that he will manage everything but where is he ?
I can't just sit here like this..I should try to make something.
( She takes her phone out and searches some recipes over the internet)
I think I should make kheer..or halwa .
Ohh God this is so confusing..

( She was thinking what to make and how to make , when she saw a shadow , near the window. She got scared)

Aarna : ( gulped her saliva) Who's that ? Is it a thief ? Ram ji please save me. What should I do now.. ( she sees a knife placed on the kitchen slab. She takes it and goes towards the window )

Aarna shouts
" Mein tujhe nahi chodungi chor.."
( She starts moving the knife here and there )

She hears a familiar sound and stops..

"Aahhh....kamar tut gayi meri.."

Aarna : Nishi ji , you ??
( Niskarsh was coming through the window , when Aarna attacked him with the knife. He lost his balance and fell down. Now he was lying on the floor..)

Niskarsh : First keep the knife away from me .
Aarna : okay ( kept it aside)
Niskarsh said her giving a frustrated look :
" Meri biwi banne se pehle meri bidhwa banne ka shauk hai kya tumhe "

[ Do you want to become my widow before becoming my wife ? ]

Aarna : ( pouting face ) don't say such things.
Niskarsh : then why do you always attack me with this knife ?
Aarna : I thought that a thief entered the kitchen..
( Niskarsh gave his hand to Aarna and Aarna pulled him up..)
Niskarsh : Thief..really Aarna ( asked her with furrowed eyebrows)
Didn't you see the body guards and security guards outside my home yesterday? Did I hire them , to sit there ideally and kill mosquitoes.
Aarna : ohh..yeah . There are so many guards that even a fly can't enter your house .
But it's all your fault ?
Niskarsh : but what did I do now ?
Aarna : why were you jumping in through the window like a thief ? You could have come through the main door..
Niskarsh : I would have..but everyone were sitting outside . What would they think if they saw me coming inside the kitchen , and you know my siblings very well they leave no reasons to tease us.
That's why I came through the window so that no one would know that I am inside.
Aarna : Thankyou and sorry .
Niskarsh : keep this sorry and thankyou with you but first say me what are you going to make ?
Aarna : Nothing I told you that I don't know cooking.
Niskarsh : I meat to say , what do you want to make ? Kheer or Halwa or something else.( He goes towards the fridge and takes out milk from it )

Aarna : Kheer..but who's going to make it ?
Niskarsh : Is there anyone else in the kitchen besides you and me ?
Aarna : no..
Niskarsh : do you know cooking?
Aarna : no
Niskarsh : then who's left ?
Aarna : obviously you...ohh so you are going to cook.
Niskarsh : You found out preety quickly.
