I stepped into the kitchen, finding Heer busy scribbling something on a piece of paper. Her brow was furrowed in concentration as she murmured, almost to herself, "Broccoli, spinach, corn..." It was like she was mentally ticking off a list, barely registering my presence.
"Bhola Bhaiya isn’t helping you?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
Without even looking up, she responded, "I sent him to the market to get beetroot." Her tone was sharp.
I cleared my throat, feeling the need to acknowledge her efforts from yesterday. “The way you took care of Mumma... she was really happy. So... thanks.”
My words came out stiff, unfamiliar, like I was forcing myself to speak through gritted teeth. Gratitude wasn’t something I was used to handing out easily.
"Seeing how stubborn Mumma is I thought it must have been difficult..." She didn’t give me the satisfaction of letting me finish.
"It wasn’t," she said quickly, cutting me off before I could offer her any sympathy or understanding.
“Thanks,” I repeated, though it sounded hollow even to my own ears.
She muttered under her breath, probably not expecting me to hear, but I caught it anyway. "Thanks bhi aise bolte hai jaise kisi ne kaan par pathar maara ho... Mr. Khadoos kumar."
“Aap mujhe baar baar taunt kyun maarte rehti hain?” I snapped, my patience fraying as I shot her a frustrated look.
She glanced up briefly, her eyes flashing with a hint of amusement, but she didn’t give me much. “Kuch nahi,” she said with a small shrug, her voice annoyingly calm.
Her nonchalant attitude only added fuel to the irritation bubbling inside me. Here I was, trying—albeit awkwardly—to thank her, and she was showing her little miss attitude self?
