Raichand's Heartbeat

6.Thank you, Mr. Hollandaise!

Scene opens to Abhiya,
(Piya's POV)

Phone message : Hey, sis. Can you pick me up this weekend?

Piya shocked to see the message on her phone. Shit! I forgot that my cousin, panchi will be back from Mumbai soon. Fuck! what if she directly moved to mine and jeh's apartments. After this cruise vacation,  I didn't have any plans to stay with him and nisha after what they did to me.

My fingers hurriedly typed a reply to panchi, I didn't notice the weird look this stranger was giving to me.

Me: sure, sis. Don't forget my souvenir! And hey, do you think I can stay at your place for a few weeks?

Panchi : Eh? What's wrong? Did you two have another fight again?

Yes, panchi had been telling me that something was wrong with jeh. Even when we started dating, panchi didn't really approve to our relationship. She even told me not to befriended with Nisha since that girl had a bad reputation during our college days. I regretted not listening to panchi . If only I wasn't naive and stupid, I could  have avoided being played and hurt by these two.

Me : we broke up . I need a place to stay for a while.

Panchi : ......

Me : I'm serious , sis.

Panchi : OMG! finally! You should've gotten rid of him long ago. He wasn't good enough for you, Piya! You deserve so much better than him.

I wondered what panchi meant. Did she already know about Jeh and Nisha?

Me: panchi , thank you for always being there for me...........

I could still remember those hard times that started after my father died. I was just five and had no idea what was happening around me. But when my mom told me that Daddy won't be coming anymore,  my life started to get hard and hopeless.

( Writer's POV )
Abhay stared intensely at his curly hairs woman. It was that unusual dark eyes that were shimmering with amusement that had no one had seen before. If his family was with him today,  They would probably think he was sick  or might as well be crazy.  His eyes filled with an emotion that couldn't be explained.

This woman was surely a one-of-a-kind that he'd never encountered in his thirty years of existence.

He lifted his fork and started eating silently while Piya kept her attention to her phone. He prefered light breakfast unlike the woman across him, who ordered a early one. He always thought that woman were conscious about their figures, but as he saw her eating alone earlier, enjoying and savoring her breakfast, Abhay thought that it didn't matter to her.

When Piya ended her chat with her cousin, she noticed that Abhay was already eating. She still didn't have an idea what he wanted from her. Her eyes landed on the dish on his plate. She'd never seen anything like that before. Her knowledge about culinary dishes and techniques were limited.

"What's that?" She couldnt  resist asking.abhay lifted his gaze and saw her staring down at his breakfast like a curious cat waiting for a chance to snatch it.

"You mean this?" He poked the side of his food. Piya nodded.

'May be the dish is common for rich people like him,' she thought as she rubbed her chin.

Abhay hesitated to answer.' What's up with this woman? It seemed like she was more interested in my  food than me. ' He thought.

"This is what you called eggs benedict." Well here Abhay loves to taste and savour different types of dishes. So it was common for him.

"What's that creamy sauce on top of it?" Piya pointed at the thick yellow cream on his food, curiously.

"Ah, that's hollandaise."

"Hollandaise?" Her round brown eyes blinked and her mouth form an "oh" making her lower lip stick out a little. Her expression sent him in a daze as he stared at her potty lips.

"What's hollandaise?"

Abhay mentally slapped himself and tilted his head in her direction, wondering why she was so curious about it.

"It's a sauce made with egg yolks and lemon juice.  Wanna try some?" Before Piya could declined his offer, a piece of Eggs benedict on a fork was already waiting for her mouth to open. She looked at his eyes with a quirk of a brow but nevertheless opened her mouth to accept his offering. The taste of this dish was so tasty that she slowly slowly chewed it and savour it in.

"Do you like it?"

"Yes, very. Thank you Mr. Hollandaise, " Piya replied keeping her eyes closed. Abhay cleared his throat and forced himself to look away as Piya with her eyes closed continued to savor the flavor.
He always thought that Eggs benedict was a simple and regular dish, but if Piya enjoyed it, maybe it wasn't that bad.

'May be she's a foodie.' He thought.

On the other side of the dinning hall, a woman was fuming in anger as she stalked at the couple. She saw them arguing earlier,  then the woman took out her phone and ignored Abhay. 

Tanushree huffed in exasperation.  Her hands clenched on top of her tables with her eyes fixated on Abhay and his so called girlfriend.  She had never seen any sane woman who could ignore Abhay's presence. Before their vacation ends, she has to get rid of Abhay's woman, or else she will never get a chance to get her family's approval.
