chapter 12

**Panchali's Point Of View**'So , what are you going to cook for dinner?', I asked looking up at him. 'Cook? Me?', he replied , his eyebrows raised.'Of course, I am a patient, you are staying here to look after me until I get well, So, you have to cook . You can't expect me to cook ', I replied.' But , I-I don't know to cook ', he replied.' What ? You don't know to cook ? Great , what are we supposed to eat?', I asked . I had guessed it earlier that he doesn't know to cook , afterall very few men know to cook I did that to make fun of him .'Let's order something', he replied.'No', I said.'But , why???', He asked .' Because, I don't eat Restaurant food', I replied.'Urghhhhhhh', he grunted.'We can do a thing, You will cook and..', he interrupted before I could complete my sentence.'Are you deaf, I told you na , I can't cook', he replied irritated.'Will you let me complete my sentence first?', I asked in a angry voice.'Ok , go on', he replied.' You'll cook but I'll direct you how to cook , is that fine?', I said.' Oh, that seems to be a good option, tell me what do I need to do', He asked.' Ok, then cut some onions , tomatoes, green chillies, and chop some ginger and garlic', I directed.' Hmmmmm', he replied this while he tried to cut the vegetables which was a real struggle for him and me, only I knew how I controlled myself from laughing.' Can't you cut the vegetables properly?', I asked trying to be serious.' Actually, no', he replied.' Move aside , let me show you Mr. Okalkushmundu', I said.'What, o-okal-okalk what did you say , what des it means?', he asked.' Somethings, are good if they are not known', I smirked.Then I had to cut the vegetables and do the cooking, he was just standing and looking at me cooking , amazed. And after that came the most ammusing part , the light was gone , I am habituated to it but I felt that something was wrong with Saurabh.' You wait here , I'll be back in a minute', I said while starting to go.'W-wait , I should also come with you ', he said coming after me.'No need , I can go alone', I replied casually.'You shouldn't be alone after all you got discharged from the hospital today only, and moreover , you are a girl how can you handle elctric board , let me come with you', he said.' O hello , yes I am a girl but I know how to fix a circuit , because my mama is a electrical engineer so I learned something from him and more importantly I am used in the dark', I replied sternly.' Aren't you afraid of dark?', he asked.' Nope ', I replied as really I am not afraid of dark but suddenly something struck me.' You are afraid of dark?', I asked.'No , Saurabh Singh is afraid of nothing', he said.' Ok , then stay here I am coming in a minute' , I said as I started to go but suddenly held my hand disbalancing me and I fell on his chest. We were at the same position for some minutes, his eyes are so cute.But I got into my senses again and maintained a distance with him.'What??', I asked .' A-actually I am afraid of dark', he said gazing down.And I burst in laughter .....***********I know this is a very unusual thing for a boy but come on , can only be girls afraid of dark?Let's read what happens next.Yours Twilight ❤️
