Chapter 49

Sagar's POV



" She is getting possessive about you, she was excited in the morning to see you, but you went to meet Maurvi," Sahil said.

" What?? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come back." I said to him.

" I didn't realise at that time. I found out later when I saw that she was getting restless. Then she waited for you to come for lunch but you didn't turn up. The moment I called you and you said that you were having lunch with Maurvi, she stomped her feet and left the office without having lunch and came back after two hours with lots of stuff she bought."

" Oh god... "

I didn't know if I was feeling good or bad? Good because she cared for me and was jealous over me and bad because she was suffering just the way I have been suffering. She didn't even have food.

" She came just 10 minutes before you came and was looking at you out of the window from here, where I am standing and when I saw her she left in anger. She was restless for the whole day for you to come. " Sahil said.

" Seriously ?? " All I could say was that. I felt..... well again, I didn't know what I felt.

" Hmm, trust me. " Sahil was grinning.

" So, I must go and apologize for keeping her waiting. I will tell her everything about Maurvi."

" No!! Just keep avoiding her. She will realise soon that she is as crazy about you as you care for her. "

" But what if she has not had any lunch?? "

" She is such a foodie like Samar... She would eat if she is hungry. "

" I don't know... " I was not convinced.

" Then trust me.. you want her to confess that she loves you? "

" Of course... Nothing like it. "

" Then let her think that you are losing interest in her. "

" Are you sure?? "

" Hundred per cent... At least try for the day... If you go now she would deny all of this. But if you want her to get desperate and confess her feelings, just try this... "

" If anything goes wrong... I will kill you. " I said glaring at him. He knew I was serious this time.

" Do that... " Sahil also said very seriously.

" Fine, but only for today, I want to see her. "

" If you see her just say hello to her as you do to your colleagues. But nothing more than that, ok? " Sahil said.

" It is just too difficult for me to ignore her when I am dying to talk to her. "

" Just do that for a day, she is so used to of having you concentrating only on her. It will shock her and she would react. Trust me Bhai, she loves you... She gets jealous and possessive just like you. " Sahil said and I nodded.

*******



It was evening and we came back to the guest house and I wanted to see her but Sahil was keeping an eye on me. I went to the balcony to peep into her room but the door in her balcony was locked. I could not see inside, it was making me restless. But Sahil glared at me and dragged me back.



Damini's POV



What is going on?? Sagar has not even bothered to come and meet me.

He was looking so happy today. That was good but he was happy with her. He was smiling and blushing. Was he falling for her??

He could not be angry with me till now. Just because Samar danced with me on holi. This is too much, even I don't care for him.

I was not feeling very good. Something was not right, I was feeling a bit restless. I wanted to meet him and still was so angry with him that I didn't want to see his face.

If he was happy with her then fine. I was hungry and I thought of eating something. I called the kitchen, I wanted to eat something special today to lift my mood. I was very hungry. I skipped lunch too. I don't care what he does... I will celebrate today.

The waiter came and asked me to order.

" By the way? What is cooking in the kitchen? "

" Nothing ma'am, but the cook will make whatever you want," he replied.

" What do you mean that nothing is getting cooked. The people living next door haven't ordered anything? "

" No ma'am, sir just asked me to bring three plates. "

" Three plates?? Empty plates?? No food??"

" Yes ma'am."

Strange.....

" Ok, get me Paneer Butter masala and 2 lachchha paranthas. "

" Ok ma'am," he said and went away.

Three plates but no food?? What are they up to?

I was curious so I went to my balcony. I looked towards their room. The light was on and I saw that they were sitting on the couch and that girl Maurvi was also there and was serving food to them which was lying on the table.

She served food and gave to one of the brothers. He smiled and thanked her and she smiled sweetly at him. Then she gave another plate to the other one.

"You should not have bothered to get the food for us."

" Oh, it's ok... You people eat food here every day. so I thought that I should get some home-cooked food for both of you. As it is, I love cooking and I usually don't leave any chance to cook. "

Very funny... How does that matter?? They live here, so they have food here. What is wrong in that? The cook of the guest house is very good. Thanks but no thanks.

She cooked all that?? Like seriously?? Who loves cooking?? She doesn't leave any chance to cook?? She must be weird...

" What ?? Don't tell me, you cooked all of this?? " Sahil asked.

" Well yes."

I think she is lying. Just trying to impress the boys...

" My god !! The food is awesome. Are you real?? Means you are extremely beautiful, cook so well and is so sweet and friendly. Where were you all these years? "

" In Delhi... "

" Awesome food... Right, Sagar?? " Sahil asked.

" Hmm most definitely.. but you should not have bothered you see.. "

Yes good... Listen, girl, don't bother to cook for him next time.

" Don't say that it was my pleasure."

Yes, why not... If you love cooking so much then cook for yourself, not for Sagar... Pleasure my foot. Cook for the whole city, but not for him.

" Awww... Sagar has given me strict instructions that I must not flirt with you or I may get killed. " Sahil said.

Why does Sagar have a problem if he flirts with the girl?

" He is right, you must not even try." she smiled beautifully.

" That is so bad, I should have found you first..." Sahil said and winked. She just shook her head and smiled.

" Ok, enjoy the food, I need to go now. It is getting late. I get up quite early"

" Sure... Thanks for the awesome food. Do you want me to drop you home? " Sagar asked.

Why??? She came on her own... She can go too. And you will not drive... Sahil can drop her. You are not supposed to drive.

" Oh no, dad did not want me to come alone so he sent his driver. "

She stood up and was ready to go out. Sahil said bye and Sagar went out to drop her where her car was.

Who was she to him?? She looked a bit younger than him. They were walking side by side talking to each other. They reached her car and even then they kept talking.

I had literally lost all my appetite by now, So I called the kitchen to tell him not to make food.

I was still standing in the balcony watching them when all of a sudden Sahil came into the balcony. If only I was not so lost, I had gone inside before he saw me, but it too late.

" Damini, how are you feeling now?? Did you have food?? "

" I am fine, just could not sleep so I came to the balcony. " I replied.

" Did you have food?? " Sahil asked.

" Hmmm "

" Ok, good night then... " he said with a smile.

" Hmm good night," I said and I came inside. Shut the door of the balcony and leaned against the door.
