I Simply (Love)Hate You

18.

I was headed out, just before someone grabbed me. I turned around and found Mrs. Singh, she wore a big smile. "Aunty? Can I help you?" I asked smiling more than necessary, I had this urge to impress her, to make me better than Anu in her eyes.
"You haven't seen Rajveer around have you, or your uncle for that sake?" She asked, I looked around. "No I haven't. Have you tried calling them?" I asked, grabbing her shoulder. She nodded. "Yes, none of them are picking up." I looked around just to make sure they hadn't  slipped my sight. She somehow looked worried. "Don't worry Aunty, they are probably already headed to the reception, I can drive you there." She thought about and nodded. I smiled and followed her out to my car. We got in the car, and started talking . She was nice she seemed to care a lot about Rajveer. "Rajveer was only 16 when he was 100% sure that he'd become a football player. But you uncle, had him change it through the years, and he decided to become an architect! We were very proud!" She ended that sentence with huge proud smile on her lips. It was interesting to hear about him, become a football player, what a douche thought! Screw him. All of a sudden my phone started ringing. It's was Sanju's mom "hey Aunty" I said picking up, keeping my eyes on the road. "Beta I left the basket with Sanju's gifts at your apartment, you mind swinging back to get it?" She asked, I couldn't say no to her, she was too amazing! "Sure Aunty, I will just run home and grab it!" I hung up and looked Mrs. Singh who was looking at me curiously. "Sorry Aunty, I just have to make a tiny stop on the way." She looked at me with a smile "Don't worry, we have plenty time!" She said and got comfortable in her seat.

We arrived at my place, and as we walked up the stairs I remembered that we had gotten ready here, and that the place was a mess. I got nervous, now his mother would see my place as a big mess and think badly of me. I just wanted to look better than Anu. I unlocked the door and quickly said. "Sorry about the mess. Sanju got ready here along with her mother and I" I looked at her and she laughed. "This looks like nothing compared to the mess there was to Rajveer's sisters wedding." Hearing her say that made me feel bit better about the situation. He has a sister? "HAHA ohh, can I offer you anything? juice, water, cola, tea even coffee!" I said.. I probably laughed a little too hard at the beginning. She looked at me with a big smile. "It's nice of you to offer, I would like some water!" She said and looked at me as if she was pleased just by me asking. I smiled and got her some water from the kitchen. As I handed her the glass she looked at me curiously. " What do you think of Rajveer?" she asked taking a sip of the water. I stood there with mouth hanging not knowing what to say.

Oh your son, I hate him, he is way too cheeky, all in all he's a disgusting human being. BUT at the same time I find him incredibly attractive and I flirty and I want his attention so bad not to mention that I am also eager to impress both you and him. Not to forget that he has actually spend 2 nights here and we have been very close to kiss like what? 3 times?

"He seems nice, I mean I have only talked to him a few times" She smiled and I stood there questioning myself. What am I doing? I hate him, he is a douche and I want absolutely nothing to do with him, yet here I am literally dying to impress his mother. Ugh, what is wrong with me, why can't I just not like him. I should let Anu have him.

"Hahah you know Anu?" she asked taking a sip of her water, and the sound of her name just made want to strangle her. "Of course!" She looked at me with a skeptic look. "Well what do you think of her?" She asked looking at me as if she expected a certain answer. She gave me a chance to make Anu look bad in front of her. I could totally ruin her chances with Rajveer. But for some dumb reason I just said. "Well.. I think she is nice!" I could have tackled that way different, I could have crushed that dumb bitch's rep. But I chose to go with that? What is wrong with me. Mrs. Singh stood there observing me, before breaking a smile. She grabbed my overarm and gave it a light squeeze. "You mama has thought you well." She said and walked past me and forwards the door. I stood there all confused, not knowing how that whole thing went. "What do you mean by that Aunty?" I asked as polite as possible, while grabbing the basket and running after her. "Well I have seen the way you look at her beta. Besides when I asked her, she tried to down you." She simply said and flicked her hair behind her shoulder. That bitch... I thought. But I started liking Aunty a lot, the was she was so chill. And I felt I could relax a bit now knowing I had scored some point by being polite.

"Well what are you waiting on?" She asked looking at me, I smiled and walked after her and off we drew to the reception. We had a nice talk about my parents and siblings.
