NIRVAAN MALHOTRA

"So, what's your name?" Ms. Neighbor asked me, stuffing her mouth with the third samosa. Yeah third.

She looks like a panda.

Her chubby cheeks become cuter as she is stuffing her mouth as if she is hungry for ages.

I am sure she doesn't know cooking because every night I only smell of Maggie.

"Nirvaan Malhotra" I replied slowly eating my only samosa because I only bought 4.

But now seeing her eating like a baby with flakes all over her face, I don't have the heart to stop her. Bas ab aur na mange.

"Wow! Fancy name. You know like those Wattpad main leads" she replied giggling.

Samosa mein daru mila rakhi thi kya?

Itna kyu has rahi hai?

"Really? You read Wattpad?" I asked leaning back on the cushion.

I have created a sitting area on the floor of the balcony.

"Of course! You don't read? Aree it's amazing! You will fall in love with every billionaire and mafia there" she said dreamily stuffing her mouth with the last bite.

"Oh no no you will not until you are gay" she giggled at her own lame joke.

Isn't she becoming too friendly?

"Ms. Neighbor, what's the reason for your sudden kindness towards me?" I asked the obvious thing.

"Umm... nothing. I just came to the accept the fact that everybody is different and everybody likes and needs different things. Until and unless you are doing it in limit and with the right person there is nothing wrong. So, I concluded that we can be friends" she smiled and forwarded her hand for a handshake.

Like?

Need?

Limit?

Right person?

What the fuck this woman is talking about!

She motioned me with her eyes to shake her hand.

I hesitantly took it.

I just hope she is not a serial killer.

"And what's your name? I asked after she was done washing her hands in the plate.

And here I thought she is a cleanliness freak.

"Vahdehi Tiwari" she replied leaning against the wall.

"Wow! Such an intense name" I said genuinely.

Vahdehi. So beautiful.

"Thank you" she said and I can notice a little red tint on her cheeks.

Aww so cute!

"Wait here" I said standing up and going towards the kitchen.

VAIDEHI TIWARI

Yeah, finally I have made peace with the fact that we are neighbors and we can be friends.

Honestly, he is not that bad and I actually enjoyed his company.

Maybe, I can be friends with his girlfriend too. There is nothing wrong with making friends, right?

He came back with a tray in his hands.

He again took his previous place and I noticed that it is a cake.

"You made this?" I asked in shock.

And here I can only boil Maggie.

"Yeah, without dark chocolate" he said but I know he taunted me.

"Umm... I am sorry for that and I was not wrong" I muttered the last part inside my mind.

"It's ok. Take this" he forwarded a cake piece towards me.

I took the first bite and oh my God! It melted in the mouth like silk.

"This is so good!" I exclaimed taking the entire tray from him.

He is so good. He bought the entire tray for me.

"Aa...Thank you" he replied eying the tray.

"Oh, don't worry I will return the tray" I laughed at his thought.

Yeah, after eating my entire cake.

He muttered something under his breath but I was unable to listen.

"What did you say?" I asked eating my cake.

"Me? Aa...nothing" he laughed.

"This much cake is enough for you right?" he asked drinking water from the bottle.

"Yeah, it will work, don't worry" I replied with a smile.

Of course, I have to do with this much only.

I can't ask him to bake more for me.

"Oh, I am glad" he replied with amusement?

"What are you? A model?" I asked what I felt.

He just smiled.

I knew it!

"And you?" he asked back.

"Lecturer" I replied.

"Nice" he said wiping my face. Yeah, I am a messy eater.

He is actually not at all bad!

After having some food, I returned back to my apartment.

I think we can be friends.

Just friends!

AUTHOR'S POV

"Where to, Ms. Neighbor on Sunday?"

Vaidehi heard Nirvaan. She turned towards his flat and found him watering his plants with the front door of his apartment kept wide open.

"To hell. Wanna join?" she asked with a fake smile, playfully.

"Oh, of course, anywhere with you" he replied cheekily coming at the door.

"Is that a white coat?" she asked when her eyes moved to the couch.

"Umm...yeah, I brought it for a modelling assignment" he replied.

"Oh" she mouthed.

"You had your breakfast?" he asked.

"Not your problem" she replied in attitude, playfully.

"Ok. I was going to make paneer parathas for myself" he shrugged going to close his door.

"Paneer paratha!" she almost screamed as if it is some wonder.

"If you are insisting this much, I can eat to accompany you" she replied going behind him like a lost puppy.

"Yeah, I am definitely insisting" he shook his head.

And here he thought she is mature.

She is anything but mature.

But he still wants to know the reason behind the mature façade she is trying to create around her, but failing miserably.
