From that night,  he stopped talking with me.......
........almost every morning we ran into each other... But we never say 'good morning '........

           Everytime an awkward feeling is roaming around us.
   I can feel that he wants to say something.... But he can't.
I also want to say something to him... I want to clear the fact that I didn't abandon our friendship.

    But words are being shy and angry at the same time.
    Funny right???  There are times when we both couldn't stop talking..... Time was not enough for our conversation.... And now...

    Usually we never had breakfast or lunch or dinner... I mean any kind of meals together.....

     But after few weeks....

   Auntie : beta.. Can you pass me the salt??

Auntie was making khichdi... Darshan loves it.. I know.
   I passed the salt.
          Thinking about the fact that I am going to have dinner with him..making me uncomfortable.
I know it's going to be a very awkward dinner.
    I decided to stay quiet.

......................................

(10.30 pm)

.
.
.   I hurriedly set the table before Darshan come to the dinner table.
    I don't know why.. I just don't want him to think that I am being over friendly.... I just want to help Auntie.
     Around 9 he came back from his work..... Maybe he is taking a shower.
  
         After few minutes......

Gawwd he became hot.... His white tee and blue boxers are damn..!!!!
   Can't take my eyes off... Upar se.. He smells nice..

   !!!  Shiittt... Focus on the food.!!!

Only the sound of crockery is there..     
    I hate this silence...!

Auntie : Darshan.... Kal ka kya plan hai?

Darshan didn't even look at me... Not for single time... I am there right in front of him.... But his eyes are so stubborn to look at me.

D: Nothing special..

Auntie : then.. Stay at home tomorrow..

D: Kyu? 

Auntie: Yu hi.. Tomorrow is Sunday... So we can spend time together.
  Darshan only cares about his khichdi... As if like nothing can stop him now... Khichdi is the only thing here.

Uncle: Also... I want to treat Tiri as well.... Pata hai.. Kitne achhi tarike ke har kaam samhalti hai?

  Shiit... Uncle started praising me.
   No no.... It's not the good timing.

She handled two big meetings without me... Hahah... I chose a right personal secretary for me.

Darshan was silent. His one and only focus is khichdi.
    Auntie : she was the best in school remember?
     
D: Then what is she doing here?
He said that without even looking at any of us.

Auntie : Matlab?

D: You said na.. She was the best... Then why she begged Papa for job?  She could have get any good company... Why here?
