"Don't say that to my Mumma, but you make the most awesome Chole-Bhature in the world," Kiu compliments mom while savouring the dish making Mom smile at her.
I shake my head at her love for food. Sometimes, I think that she likes food more than anyone, even me.
I look at her as Mom passes her salad which Kiu shyly takes in her plate.
Scratch that part which I said before, she definitely likes the food more than me.
"Oh, don't worry, it would be our secret," Mom replies, excitedly as she sits besides Kiu, not even giving a glance towards me.
I roll my eyes, knowing very well why she is too excited.
I still remember that day before Teacher's day when I had come late at home. It was the same day when I had put Kiu and my image on the lock screen.
She has not seen that thankfully, but it was my worry of finding a blue saree for Kiu that I think gave her a hint that I might have a crush on her.
Though she has not told me that she has her suspicion regarding Kiu and me, her actions say otherwise considering Mom never pampers Sara, Misha and Avni this much when they come like she does Kiu.
"It was so tasty. I wish I had more space in my tummy to fit one more Bhatura," Kiu says as she drinks the water.
Let's wish that I will not get jealous of food in the upcoming days.
"I am going to take a nap. If you guys need anything, wake me-" Mom starts but got stopped by Kiu.
"If we want something, we will find it by ourself. You go and take rest. Don't worry about us. I seriously don't know how you moms get up in the morning and make big feasts," Kiu says, making Mom smile at her.
"You will not understand now," she pats Kiu's face and goes to her room.
"Hmm, you want to take a nap?" I ask Kiu as we both settle on the bed of my room.
"Nah! You go ahead if you want to," she replies as leans against the headboard and put her pony into a bun or whatever it's called.
How did she look gorgeous, even when she is doing nothing?
"I don't want to take a nap. But will rest for a while, after that, we will work on Accounts when Adi comes, ok?" I say, and she nods as an answer.
I lay down beside where she is sitting and look at her who is scrunching her nose as she skips the channels to find something to watch.
I feel my phone ping, notifying of a newly arrived text.
Adi
Will be there after two hours.
Have to run some errands for Mummy.
Me
Ok, no problem.
"Adi will come after two hours," I tell Kiu who has finally settled on Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasma.
"Ok, what do we do now?" she asks, furrowing her eyebrows looking more beautiful.
"Hmm, let's watch some TV and rest then we can play video games," I suggest to which she nods and looks at the TV.
I move close to her and close my eyes to relax.
After some time, I feel a hand stroking my hair.
I smile, internally knowing that she thinks that I was asleep.
She strokes my hair for sometimes, and I feel her coming close to my face. She pecks my cheeks lightly and caresses my cheek with her hand.
She still thinks that I am asleep or else she wouldn't have done that. I know that she feels guilty because she can't tell all this to her parents though she never thinks about it deeply or tells Adi or me. But I know, it is in her consciousness.
She is not thinking about it much right now. But I know when she will come into terms with all these, she will feel too guilty. And I have to be prepared for that.
And because of that, I always try to never give her a wrong impression by coming close to her. The reason why we still haven't had our first kiss.
And it just feels right this way.
She is a girl of morals. Though she is modern, she still respects her tradition, which is making me fall for her, fast.
I slightly turn, making her remove her hands from my cheeks and put it in my hair. I don't open my eyes for another five minutes to let her think that I was asleep when she had peck my cheek so that she wouldn't feel awkward.
She lightly strokes my head, and I let out a smile that I was holding from a long time, "I love this."
"Huh?" she looks at me, raising her eyebrows, "I thought you were asleep."
"Just got up," I lie and turns towards her.
She smiles, relieved and replies, "Oh."
I continue looking at her face for quite some time, making a red hue spread across her cheeks, which is my favourite thing to see nowadays. My stomach flutters realizing that it was because of me.
The all getting the butterflies-in-stomach things in the movies and series is making sense now.
She is seriously too beautiful and adorable.
"Let's play video games. Nothing good is coming on the TV," she says, shaking my shoulder.
"Ok, let's play," I reply and get up to take the controllers out.
The doorbell rings just when we both complete setting up the game.
"I think Adi is here early," I say as we both move downstairs.
"Hello," the Adi is, of course, standing there but along with him are standing Kunal and Dhruv.
Oh, please, no.
"We heard Kia helping you two with accounts, so we decided to tag along. We also need some practice," Dhruv says as he passes me a wink letting me know the real reason.
They both know I get irritated and annoyed when they try a little too much on getting Kiu's attention.
It is not my fault tho. Dhruv and Kunal always try to be in her company. They both like my girl a little too much for my liking.
"Oh, good I guess," Kiu mutters unsure.
