Our Indian Love Story

Chapter 5

"Hey where's mom"

"Everyone's out" I nodded and introduced them

"Kesh this is Rishi. Kesh is my little brother he's 15" Rishi shook his hand and they talked whilst I rang my mom. I told her what I was doing and if it was ok. She said yes so I got to work. I put an apron on and tied my hair up. I got all the stuff out and started baking.

Once I finished making the cake Rishi and Kesh came in. "You were supposed to help me" I pointed at Rishi.

"Sorry, my fault we were paying the XBOX" Kesh said, I looked at him and he seemed quite happy.

My dad wasn't one for playing on the XBOX and my brother always had to play it on his own. With Rishi here he may have someone to play the XBOX with. My older cousins were always at work and they had families of their own now so they were always busy.

The cake was cooling so I gave Rishi a quick tour of the house that ended in my bedroom. I opened the door and Rishi went in and flopped down on my bed and sighed.

"Nice place" he looked at me, I was picking some clothes up off my floor.

"Thanks sorry about the mess I couldn't decide what to wear yesterday so I kind of just threw everything everywhere" I sat on the bed next to him and there was a knock on the door.

"Keep you're door open" Kesh opened the door and smiled at me. I nodded and he left. We talked about his family that I had yet to meet.

"Rishi let go" it was late and I had to make dinner, I decided to decorate the cake in the morning. He pressed a kiss to my head and I got up.

Mom and dad came home and said hi to Rishi. "Do you want to stay for dinner" Dad asked, Rishi looked at me and I nodded. He smiled at my dad and they went outside to play cricket for a while whilst mom and I made the food.

We had made Palak Paneer and Roti; I had also made Keer yesterday so I hoped Rishi would like it. I was making the Roti and mom called the boys inside.

Mom set the table with Kesh and Rishi's help whilst dad poured the food in a large bowl to put on the table.

"Rishi tie my hair up please my hands are dirty" he tied my hair up with ease and I knew dad was watching us. Rishi moved away from me and poured some drinks.

"I love Palak Paneer" he looked at the pot and Laughed.

"If you didn't I would have killed you, how can you hate Paneer" I washed my hands and put the stuff away. The doorbell rang and I went to answer it. I opened it and my sister was stood there.

"Sorry forgot my keys again" she put her bag down and took off her coat. She came inside and sat down, Rishi came in and she looked at me.

"Rishi this is my older sister Minakshi" Rishi had his hand out but she just looked at it. "Minakshi don't be like that" I scolded. Rishi shook his head at me I huffed and sat down. We ate and chatted about some random crap and Minakshi just glared at me the whole time.

I looked at Rishi and he smiled at me, I was glad that he was with me. He had some Keer and I was glad he liked it. When we finished Rishi helped clean up and my mom and dad were fafing. Oh god.

"Rishi what shall I wear tomorrow"

"Well it's a hall party so probably a suit it's my sister's 18th so it was a big party" I nodded and he held my hand. "Whatever you wear I'm sure you will look amazing" he kissed my cheek and said Bye.

"Rishi wait a minute" Mom handed him £51 "It's the first time you have properly been here"

He looked at me and then back at my mom. "It's ok you don't need to"

"Don't argue with your elders" Mom scolded, I laughed at Rishi's face he mumbled sorry and gave my mom a hug and shook dad's hand. He kissed my cheek and left. I turned around and my sister's face was burning red. She stormed off upstairs and slammed her door. I took no notice and went to my room, I was a very happy bunny. I called mom up and asked her to help me pick an outfit out for tomorrow.
