The Dancing Tale

Chapter 6

"Aunty, can I use the mixer grinde......" I shut myself when I saw an unfamiliar person who opened the doors of agrawal household.

"I wish I could be mixer grinder so you could have used me." he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at him.

What is with guys and flirting from the 1st second when they see a girl.

"Where is seema aunty." I asked him straight. He looked somewhat of my age. But his face didn't match with any of the Aggrawals.

Maybe rudra's cousin or something sort of that.

"Well, they sold the house to me so I am the new owner." He said smirking and fold his hands. I gave him a deadpan look not at all entertained by his remark.

"Kabir. Who is it on the doo..... Speak of the devil."

Rudra walked out from the living room to the door. He was wearing jeans and t-shirt. From the attire of both of these boys I can tell they are planning to go out.

"Good to know that I am well talked about unlike you." I fired back and entered the house without giving them second glance. "Hello aunty." I greet her when I saw her in the kitchen.

"Oh hey sweetheart."

"Can I use the mixer."

"Of course. Let me clean it up real fast."

"No no. I will do it. You can keep frying those bhajiya." I said and picked up the jar of the mixer.

"Wow maa. It smells so good. But I think that beautiful girl in your kitchen smells even more yummy." I heard that kabir guy saying. I rolled my eyes.

"Kabir. Stop teasing my poor girl." Aunty warned him. "kriti. Don't mind kabir. He is just a flirt. He is rudra's best friend or as they like to call it brother from another mother. His family used to live in the neighborhood before they shifted to banglore. His mother and I are still very good friends." I turned my body to them when I was done with washing the jar.

"Kabir Singh is at your service ma'am." He introduced himself and Saluted me. I showed him my middle finger with an over sweet smile when aunty was not looking at me. He choked on his saliva. I laughed and noticed rudra stifling his laughter but failing miserably.

"Oh okay. Now I can see what rudra meant when told me that you are not like usual girls." he said to me. I raised my eyebrows.

"Not at all lady like." I heard rudra muttered.

"Well. I take pleasure in being the topic of conversation. I have been told I am amazing many times."

"I pity those who think that way. They are clearly having mental disorders . My mom and dad are exceptions because they only see good in others. " he muttered. I glared at him.

"Have you ever questioned yourself that maybe you bring out the worse in the person who is in front of you. But well thinking requires brain which you are evidently lacking."

"Look who is talking about brain. A girl who can't walk properly without stumbling or bumping into people while still having two eyes." He cracked at his joke.

"Well everybody seems to love this girl....."

I was cut off in the middle by the sound of laughter of aunty and kabir.

What did I miss. Did I cracked a joke.?

"You guys banter like an old couple. I swear." Kabir said when his laughter subsided. I looked at rudra and he did same.

"I agree. You two are very entertaining." aunty added.

"Okay. You guys are high and talking rash." I said.

"This is the only sense full thing you said today." Rudra said.

"Come on. I will plate these bhajiyas so you kids can eat it before going to your respective works." Aunty told. I helped her in plating and she served it to rudra and kabir. I forced her to eat too. She sat with them and I grinded the spices in mixer and after that I joined them. After finishing my plate I get up to walk out of the house. Kabir and rudra followed me as they were also going somewhere else.

" So I think we will see each other more, beautiful." kabir said.

"first, I prefer my name in the place of beautiful. And last, why would I like to get myself acquainted with the best friend of the jerk who will probably be the another jerk."

"Dude, this girl seriously know how to insult you." Kabir said laughing. "Okay. We are not as big of jerks as we you think."

"I don't know about you but I can surely argue about him."

Kabir laughed. "I will not force you but we are definitely going to have many more meetings."

"And why is that."

"Because darling, we both go to the same college. And now we are friends." He said.

Okay I am not that much observant but how did I never saw him in the college. He and rudra did not even hang out together in college. Or else I would have seen him.

"How come I never saw you in college." I asked.

"Because I returned from the banglore today itself. I was out of town for 15 days."

That explains.

"Are you planning on spending the whole night here kabir." I heard rudra grumbling.

And his best friend says he is amazing.

"Let's go. Later prakriti." He said and they both left. I nodded and made my way to my room. When I reached, I picked my phone to see any notifications. There was a message from divyansh.

Divyansh : so I thought it would be nice if we discuss our campaign's strategy over dinner at some diner tomorrow. What do you say.????

I decided to reply him.

Me : well, I think the time we get in college is enough for that. :)

He instantly replied to my text.

Divyansh : and if I want to discuss something else than?

Me : are you asking me on a date, senior?

Divyansh : I can imagine you smirking while writing the above message . But it depends on your answer, junior. Will you say yes.?

Me : hmm. You are right about the smirking part and Maybe I will say yes if you would actually ask but it's unfortunate that you are not asking. :p

Divyansh : I can always change my decision. So here I am asking you. Would you like to go on a date with me Prakriti?

Me : pick me up at 6.

Divyansh : I will be their at 5:30. :D

Me : See ya tomorrow in college. Bye.

I put my phone aside and smiled like an idiot. I can't wait for tomorrow.
