章 8: Chapter 8
It was late in the evening when we arrived at his apartment. It was so much fun hanging out with him in the city. We chatted a lot and I really got know him really well. His friends are also coming for dinner as they wanted to meet me. He asked me if I was okay to meet them and I said yes. Its no harm to meet them and I have to eventually get to know them anyway.
"Let's go inside" he said and opened the gate. I entered his house apartment and looked around. The apartment was simple and beautiful. It was a 3BHK flat. On my left was the living room and it had a simple 7 seater sofa and table and a TV and was connected with the kitchen. His house looks well maintained and the interior is really nice. There was door on my right. I opened it and it was an empty room.
"It could be your work space at home" he said shuffling his legs as I turned around to look at him. He was looking nervous.
"The house is very nice" I said holding his hand and squeezing it. He smiled at me and then showed me the rest of his house with a huge smile on his face all the while. The guest bedroom was also very well maintained and beautiful. He opened the gate to his room next. His room was perfect. Beige colored walls, a big balcony, a couch in the corner and a queen sized bed in between.
"Your room is perfect" I said turning towards him. He smiled at my comment and pulled me closer to him. I bumped into his chest. I took a step back and looked at him. He moves down and comes closer to my ear. I gulp as he comes closer to me and hold my breath.
"Our room madam." He said with a deep husky voice in my ear and I shivered as I felt his breath on my cheek. He leaned down and touched our forehead before standing straight and leaving the room. I was just standing there wide eyed and blinking. I smiled looking at the floor and blushed. Our room I said slowly and analyzed the space with a smile.
"Navika" Arjun called from outside. I patted my cheeks lightly and got outside. He was standing in the kitchen.
"Ji? (Yes in a formal way)" I said entering the kitchen and saw him smiling
"Do you wanna cook together or order from outside" he asked slightly tilting his head
"You know how to cook?" I asked. I really want to cook something but alone would not be a good idea.
"I have been living alone from five years. Of course I do" he said in a duh tone and I chuckled. How did I not relate to this?
"Good, let's cook now" I said tying my hair in a bun. I felt him watching me the whole time I tied my hair. When I looked up he turned his face to the other side. His cheeks looked flushed.
"Why do you look flushed?" I asked narrowing my eyebrows at him
"Ahh. Nothing, we should just cook" he said shaking his head a bit and I nodded my head before turning back towards the kitchen slab.
"How many of your friends are coming and what do you wanna cook" I asked standing near the counter. I kept my hand on it to balance myself
"Rajat and Vivek are coming only. And I was thinking to make butter chicken" he said looking around his kitchen with a calculative face.
"Okay, let's start" I said. He showed me the cabinet for utensils and he took out all the ingredients. I played some music on my phone. I have a habit of listening to music while I work.
"You want to dance" he asked leaning on the counter and I chuckled shaking my head.
"No, I have a habit of listening to music while I work" I said smiling a little and chopping some onions. He nodded his head and continued to do the work. We made the butter chicken pretty fast and thought of cooking something else too. So we after a long conversation came upon making Shahi paneer.
.................
It is now almost eight in the night. I was getting ready in the guestroom. I wore a simple jeans and top. The doorbell rang and I got out in the living room. Arjun had already opened the door. His friends were entering the house.
"Namaste, Bhabhiji" one of his friends said and I smiled and walked upto them
"Namaste" I said joining my hands.
"He is Rajat and he is Vivek" Arjun said introducing me to his friends
"My wife really wanted to come here too but he denied" Vivek said hitting Arjun's arm lightly and I chuckled and asked them to come in
"He was the only bachelor in our group but now we don't have to worry about him" Vivek said teasing him as we settled in the living room and chatted for a while. Vivek was very friendly and Rajat was a bit introverted. Arjun and I set up the dinner on the dining table at around 9.
"The food is very tasty bhabhi" Rajat said something to me for the first time in the whole night and I smiled at him and turned to look at Arjun.
"Your friend did most of the work" I said patting Arjun's shoulder lightly
"You cooked for us the first time. I am very emotional right now" Vivek said wiping his dry cheeks. I chuckled at him
"You never cooked for them" I ask turning my head towards Arjun and he just shrugged
"No he just always stands and gives us instructions. He never even picks up a spoon" Rajat said looking at me
"Really? But he did most of the work today" I said with a little shocked expression
"I always do most of the work. They are just blabbering nonsense. Don't listen to them" Arjun said gave his friends a hard look. They still teased him and told me some stories about him and I soon joined to tease Arjun too. They both left after the dinner and it was really fun to meet his friend.
I went in the guest room and changed into my pajamas. I lie down on the bed and open my mobile to play some game as I couldn't fall asleep thinking Arjun is right next door. I mean I really wanted to go there and talk to him. I sit on the bed and walk towards the door. I should talk to him some more time before going back to Delhi in the morning.
I sit down back on the bed again deciding against it. I don't want to feel cling or needy. Let's just get to sleep. I hear knock on my door as soon as I decide to sleep. I sit and walk to open the door.
"Hi, I was just thinking" Arjun said as soon as I opened the door. A huge smile came on my face
"To spend some more time together rather than just sleeping" I said completing his sentence with a huge grin on my face. Arjun's expression changed from nervous to a smile.
"We should sit in the living" he said and I walked out of the room closing the door and moving to the living. We settled on the sofa and started talking.
