My Silly Chiraiyya

Chapter 9

I opened my eyes slowly, as the aura of the fresh morning spread in my room. Feeling a bit relaxed from the fever that caught me yesterday, I woke up lazily from the recliner.

"Twenty-five... Twenty-six.... Twenty-seven" 

I  turned my neck towards my bed hearing the sound, only to slap my forehead once again. She was sitting on the bed, amidst the cloudy cotton with a torn pillow in her hand, simply busy in taking fistful of cotton in her hand and throwing them up in the air.

"Ahem! Ahem!" I uttered to grab her attention. She looked towards me, and the same horrified expression spread over her face.

"Don't... Don't.... Don't worry. I...I'll clean this now." She spoke, and instantly started picking up those scattered cotton.

So, I do have a bossy impression over her....

I paced towards her grinning, "you woke up too early today....Isn't it?" I asked.

She nodded, "yes! Bhavya says that good girls wake up early in the morning."

I chuckled. I tried a lot....But couldn't stop myself from falling for her childish innocence.

Suddenly, she stopped picking those cotton, looked at me, stood over her knees and touche my cheeks with her palm.

"See!" she said with a smile, "Your fever has gone."

"I know." I replied.

She instantly pulled her hand away, dropped her smile, and glared at me.

"What???" I asked confused by her antics.

"Don't you know that we should say thanks to those who help us.?" She asked

"Yes, I know." I replied, still confused.

"Then, why didn't you thank me?" She asked angrily.

"Oh!" I uttered realising what she wanted to say, "sorry, I forgot....I mean thank you, for taking care of me yesterday."

"What? You forgot?" She asked becoming wild. Then, before I could reply her anything, she threw a pillow over me.

"Ouch!" I grunted, "what are you doing?" 

"Throwing pillow over you." She said standing up on bed, frustrated, "You're such a bad boy! How can you forgot to say thanks? Really ungrateful!"

"Gauri....." I said stepping my one foot on the bed."Come down."

"I said come down."

"You always say one thing or other.....So should I agree to your each order?"

"Gauri! Please! Come down....."

"No! No! No!" She remained adamant

"Come down otherwise....." I paused.

"Otherwise what?" She asked giving me a challenging  Smile.

That was it. I grabbed her han, and tried to pulled her down. A big mistake! I pulled her so strongly that she fell...Right over me.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying flat on the bed while gauri was curled up over me. Her both hands were clutching my shirt, her both legs were shivering, and her face with her eyes shut was buried tightly across my chest which was vibrating due to my vigourous heartbeat. I raised my left hand, which was till now snaked around her waist and tucked her curly lock behind her ear.

"Gauri.." I mumbled slowly.

Her eyes opened, and she lifted her face to look up in my eyes. Few minutes passed while I was still lost in her kohled eyes.
