Chapter 11

What’s cooking?

Arnav came downstairs from the terrace and called out to Aman.

“Good work Aman. You have made perfect arrangements upstairs.”

Aman sighed, “Sir, something is going on here. Downstairs, I saw Khushi...”

“Ma’am.” Arnav reprimanded him.

“Yes, Khushi ma’am! She is all decked up for meeting some people and is making tons of food while Indrani is ordering her around.”

Arnav‘s eyes darkened when he heard that Indrani was making his Khushi work a lot. He pushed Aman aside and rushed downstairs towards the kitchen. He was about to say something when he saw her, the most beautiful damsel on earth.

Slowly winds blew across her long silky black hair. Her long earrings started dangling. She had her hands on the kitchen slab, mixing something carefully, trying  not to stain her saree. She lifted one of her bangle clad hands to wipe off the sweat from her forehead.

He gazed at her, mesmerized by how  extremely heavenly she looked. His heart started beating fast. An unfamiliar tune played in the background

Sensing someone’s gaze on her Khushi turned her face towards Arnav.
She felt pleasantly intimidated by him and looked down remembering the kisses, blushingly. He came forward and kept his right hand on the side table beside her hand. He blocked her way with his second hand as she tried to move away from him shyly. He slowly bent forward making Khushi close her eyes tightly, wondering what he might be going to do now.

He bent and took in the aroma of all the food stuff on the stove. After taking in the smell of rich roasted spices, he turned towards Khushi.

“You made all of this?” He said pointing towards the utensils filled with delicious food placed on the gas stove and the table top.

Khushi opened her eyes wide. She narrowed her eyes and scrunched her eyebrows, what did she make? Then she remembered the food she has been preparing since the morning.

“Y…yes ...”she stammered.

“Umhh... It smells good and I know it shall taste good too.”

“How do you know?”Khushi looked at him, mesmerized by his eyes.

“Somehow.”  He winked and went away confusing her even more about what he said.

“Kitna ajeeb aur uljha hua aadmi hai!”she whispered to herself letting out a sigh of relief.
( What a weird and tangled man he is!)
