“what’s happening he is actually not moving away..” Kartik eyes traced her features she was so close
‘she has beautiful eyes, and a cute mole above the corner of her lip and.. and she has a boyfriend what are you doing?’ his mind scolded.
‘so what I’m not interested like that.. his sane part said.
“ahem.. said Kartik.. “are you ok?”
“hmm?”
“are you hurt?” he asked, still holding her now his hands were releasing her when his mind registered..
“no.. are you?” she asked sweetly so innocently that it made him wonder what she was thinking.. just then the door slammed.
“Kartik"
“its Preeti” he said she got off him, he too got up helping her back on her feet but keeping a distance.
“Kartik you’re here and Naira your still here?”
“nevermind her, where have you been?” he said taking the limelight off them.
“me.. what are you talking about.. and doesn’t anyone clear around here.. she saw all the toys scattered on the floor. ” oh.. Champagne I don’t mind a glass can you get me one darling.
“sure” Kartik replied.
“bye Naira now I will spend some quality time with my husband” She smiled..
“I’ll see you out.. Kartik poured a glass but he didn’t say anything, Naira wanted him to say something after what just happened.
“yeah Preeti see Siya’s babysitter out” he replied. This hurt her his tone had changed, or maybe she was reading way too much into this. He took a sip of the drink.
“Mmm this is a good one” he gulped it down.
“will join you just give me a minute” she walked Naira to the door
“see you tomorrow” she said and closed the front door, then rushed back to the drawing room.
“she saw Kartik drinking..
“where is my glass?”
“in the bottle. Where the hell have you been?” he raised his voice, clearly pissed at her disappearing act.
“Keep your voice down Siya is sleeping” Preeti pointed to the couch in that moment Kartik turned to look. He put his glass down.
“thanks” she took it. He looked at her as she sat down.. “Hey listen I asked you a question..
“Chill Kartik why are you getting so worked up” she took a sip. “Mmm it’s the expensive brand I like it” she winked. Kartik rolled his eyes..
'Dumb fool, she will lose her senses shortly’ He shook his head, he didn’t get a chance to even try the champagne and now he didn't feel like it..
“I’m taking Siya to her room” He turned to the sleeping child. “Chalo beta” he carried her up in his arms, her head resting on his shoulder. Before he went he turned to Preeti,
“and tomorrow you better have an answer!” He said in a low but dominant tone.
“yah..yah” she waved him off as if she were ignoring him, she continued to take comfort in her drink.. pouring herself another glass. Kartik shook his head and took to the stairs.
Meanwhile Naira came to Gauri’s house she parked up and set the alarm as she locked it,.she opened the door and tiptoed in not wanting to wake up Gauri’s parents. Today had been a weird and pleasant day at the same time, did she make a break through with Kartik sir? Not really its not liked they talked for long but.. her mind was going over what happened after she fell on top of him. She came to her and Gauri’s room.
