AUTHOR'S POV

"Come let me treat you with dinner" Nirvaan said unlocking his apartment's door.

"I can never deny" she replied with a chuckle.

"I know" he laughed pulling her cheek and moving inside.

She just stood rooted in her place touching her cheek.

She shook her head with a stupid smile and went behind him.

"Take what all items you need and put the rest in that cabinet," he said wearing his apron.

"He looks so sexy wearing that apron" her subconscious injected.

"Yeah" she looked dreamily at him.

"Vaidehi!" he shouted.

"Huh?" she stood straight startled, coming out of her la la land.

"Take the items you need and put the remaining in that cabinet" he repeated a little louder shaking his head at her.

"Why?" she asked confused.

"What why? You need them, right?" he asked back.

"No, I bought it for you. You will cook for me na?" she replied smiling.

"Uff! Who can deny that smile" he thought.

"And why is that?" he raised his eyebrows, trying to look serious.

"Because I am your sweet neighbor" she replied pulling his arm like a kid.

"Yeah, the very sweet neighbor who assumed me to be a sex addict" he taunted.

She left his hand and climbed on the counter sadly, moving her legs like a kid.

"Accha ab muh mat phula, eat this" he passed her a chocolate bar.

"You are the best!" she exclaimed catching the chocolate bar.

"I know" he replied in attitude.

"Self-obsessed moron" she muttered under her breath, taking a bite from her chocolate.

"I heard that" he glared at her, taking out the ingredients.

And she gave him her sweetest fake smile.

For the next 15 mins, she was just sitting on the counter and observing him.

His every action.

His muscles flexing with his every movement.

His messy hair falling on his forehead.

Uff! What an eye-pleaser he is!

"Should I remove those hair from his forehead in slow motion?" she asked herself.

"But isn't it what boys do?" she answered her own question.

She was busy gawking at him when her phone pinged.

"Shh..." she motioned him to keep quiet because it was from her mom.

"It's a message" he said rolling his eyes.

"Yeah" she hit her head on her stupidity.

Hi bacha

Hi ma

Are you back from grocery shopping?

Yes

Good. What's for dinner?

"What's for dinner?" she asked Nirvaan.

"Matar paneer and puris" Nirvaan replied frying the puris.

Matar paneer and puris.

Really? Send pictures!!!

"Shit! She is asking for pictures!" she shouted jumping down from the counter.

"Who is asking for what pictures?" Nirvaan furrowed his borrows in confusion.

She didn't reply to him and pushed him away from the stove.

She held the spatula and clicked a picture in which her hand, puris, and sabzi were visible.

She sighed and pressed the send button.

Just when the ticks turned blue, her phone started ringing.

"Wow it looks so tempting" her mother almost shouted on the phone.

"Thanks, ma" she replied feeling proud? Yeah, for her hard work in cheating.

"But isn't it too much for you?" came her mother's doubting voice.

"Umm...yeah, I made extra for breakfast as well" she lied perfectly.

"Oh. And your kitchen interiors look different" her mother asked giving her a mini heart attack.

"Aa...aa...yeah I got it changed" she replied with a nervous laugh.

"Oh" her mother said still not fully convinced.

"Ok go and eat. And sleep on time" her mother ordered from the other side.

"Ok bye ma" she replied.

She sighed in relief cutting the call.

She turned around and stumbled to her feet seeing the 6'2 man standing with hand crossed around his chest.

She rubbed her chest to calm down herself.

"Cheating huh?" he smirked pushing her away, just like the way she did.

"We are friends rights? We can help each other" she proudly stated her award-winning statement.

He just shook his head, again hitting her head.

"Go wash your hands" he ordered turning off the stove.

"Ok" she excitedly licked her lips and ran towards the wash basin.

He smiled and took the dishes to the balcony.

And just like that, they enjoyed yet another meal together with the Mumbai ki baarish...
