New Girl In The City

Chapter 13.

"Okay done. Anything else we are left to do?"

Aman asked. There are three days left for the event. Everyone is stressed and worried if they can collect sufficient amount for charity. Kehara is okay. She smiles at least twice a day but they are fake. She really is trying to get out of it. To forget everything. But Something is pulling her back. Something is not letting her forget it. It's hard. She was engaged to him since forever. She was three and he was five years old . She was normal when they broke up. She thought it was fair. But slowly she realised what it meant. One of the main reason to leave India was this. If she was still there she had to face him at least once a month. After all he was her cousin.

"So."

"So?" Kehara said

"So"

"Noor!" Aman exclaimed.

"We are done with everything and I guess you all don't have any plans for the evening so let's make dinner together!" Noor exclaimed clapping her hands.

"Not a bad idea. Our dad's will be late as usual and your mom has gone to visit your aunt so she will be late as well. Let's do it!" Kehara exclaimed happily.

"Why does cooking excite you girls so much. I am not doing that. Let's plan something else." As soon as Aman said that Kehara's smile vanished. He didn't know this will make her sad or else he would have never said that. He was now feeling guilty for saying that.

"We are doing it! Come on Aman you lazy Boy. See how happy cooking makes our sisters. We can do this much for them." Sufyaan said giving Aman a "I will kill you if you don't say a yes" look.

"Okay fine."

"Good boy." Noor said placing her hand on Aman's head and Aman rolled his eyes.

"What are we waiting for? It's already 6! We need to start now. Everyone in the kitchen now!" Kehara ordered them.

Everyone got up and followed her to the kitchen. They are at Sufyaan and Kehara's place so they don't need to be careful about spoiling the kitchen. If it was Noor's house her mom would have killed them for even entering her kitchen. Aman and sufyaan are cutting vegetables. Kehara is making cake and Noor. Well Noor is giving instructions.

"Oh no." Kehara said as she opened the fridge.

"what happened?" Sufyaan asked

"We don't have eggs and butter. Now what?" Kehara said turning around, looking down making a sad face.

"We will go get it now." Noor said.

"Yeah that would be awesome. Take anyone of them." Kehara said pointing towards Aman and Sufyaan. Both Sufyaan and Aman's face lit up.

"I will go with her!" Sufyaan said before Aman can do that.

"You won't be able to handle Noor. She goes crazy when she goes shopping." Aman said.

"Hey! I don't. And I'm just going to get eggs and butter."

"Yeah. I can handle. You continue cutting I will go with her." Sufyaan said getting up.

"But see you are cutting them perfectly. You should continue. I will go with her." Aman said hoping he can escape from cutting vegetables.

"Let her decide." Sufyaan said and both of them looked at Noor hoping she will choose them.

"I will take sufyaan bhai!" Noor said and Sufyaan gave a victory smile to annoyed Aman.

"You are my sister!"

"Unfortunately!"

"Okay now leave fast. We hardly have two hours left." Kehara said and Noor and sufyaan left. She was hoping Noor would take Aman with her. Not that she hate being around Aman but without anyone else it would be awkward and she wanted to avoid that. They hardly talk to each other. And now she was thinking she should say something or just continue working.
