Chapter thirteen

" Which detergent do you use? "

× ANANYA ×

" Can we talk about something else other than my red face which makes me look like I was crying? "

" Definitely " he replied while passing me his handkerchief. I waited for a few seconds and looked at him intensely.

" Don't worry, there is no chloroform in it " He said while chuckling. I could feel that he tried his best to create a good joke but he failed miserably. I took the handkerchief and wiped my tears with it.

" Uh, my joke, bad joke, my bad " he said and made a face questioning the things he said for a second and then composed himself again. I giggled at this.

Cute!

" Okay, atleast something made you laugh "

" What are you doing here? " I asked him and his lips were now back into a straight line.

" Just came here to fresh my mind"  he said and I nodded.

" Still upset? " I asked and immediately regretted.

He looked at me in confusion.

" About what? "

" About the restaurant incident? The painting one " I said.

I was referring to the part when Vivian was going to say for whom Sahil made that painting but stopped. Sahil's whole mood was down after that. He spoke even lesser then the already less he does. I happen to notice it.

" Oh "

Here we go, you ruined his mood again, Anu.

" Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. " I said noticing his fade mood.

" It's okay, you just asked. The answer is kind of. But whenever I sit here at this place I feel better. It's like it has some kind of magic "

I somehow felt the same. Though I haven't been here for long but even I was enchanted when I saw it. It was garden but only for the sitting or walking purpose with a fountain of water in between which changes the colour of lights after some minutes. The play area for the kids was on another side of the building so this place is usually very peaceful.

I've noticed so many couples from my balcony sitting here, holding hand in hand, sometimes their small gestures like girl hitting the guy while he was mocking her, or when the guy looking at her while she was speaking looking at the sky. Those moments are precious.

I wish to experience those kind of moments in my life. Without those sweet moments life is practically incomplete.

The fact that I've even seen some teenagers there, holding hands and totally in love, like they think it would last. Maybe some do, but teenage love is something I could never trust on. But they're cute, getting scared when someone walks in and leaving their hold.

And in some way, I love noticing such small but meaningful things humans around me do. I love nothing the small actions of thiers. A smile just appears on my face after watching them.

We sat there lost in our own thoughts, the silence was getting awkward now. But it's not like either one of us expects the other one to share anything when we don't even know each other properly.  Atleast I don't.

We both were still the closed book kept in the self opened just once for a short time.

Those funny and embarrassing moments were okay, we can share them with anyone but the deep talks can not happen with friends who are still strangers.

" Oye, how did you and Kirti prank called me instead of that blue eyed person? I recalled it now " he said.

Either he doesn't speak in front of me or he speaks about my embarrassments. There is no in between.

" That duffer jumbled two numbers and the new number which was formed happened to be yours. I swear that girl is crazy " I mummered the last part.

" Lol. It was so much fun seeing your reactions, I swear " he said and I fake laughed.

" Haha, you don't even know how shocked I was to see you here. At that point I really thought you were a God's Angel who magically appeared out of no where " And here I speak something I regretted seconds later. Nothing new.

" God's Angel? " He asked looking in my direction.

" Like just Angel, take it that way, like they can appear and disappear. " This was such a bad cover up.

" Seriously, chamatkar? " He said and I made a face.

That word irritates me so much.

" I have a name, Sahil " I said with an irritated expression stamped on my face.

" Yeah, and I'm using it. " He replied shrugging.

" My name is Ananya "

" But you introduced yourself to me as something else. So I'm listening to you and calling you by what you wanted me to " the mischievous smile on his face was back again.

He never teases anyone else like this, why me?

" But now, I want you to call me by my real name which is Ananya " I said.

" No, I love your other name which is chamatkar. I want to be unique, nobody calls you by that so I will. Yay "

The soft yay at the end was very cute but irritating.

" Are we really fighting for names like Vivian and Kirti? " I asked him.

" Nope, firstly, we aren't fighting, we are arguing " he said while actioning some double inverted commas from his fingers.

" Yeah, yeah, Use my statement against me. "  I replied and he laughed softly.

" But No, seriously, how did you manage to think of chamatkar? Like so many names in the world and you chose chamatkar? Were you ready with that backstory or something so you can narrate it? " He said and that laugh didn't fade from his face.

" I blurted out the first one word that came on my mind. And the backstory was good, okay? I put so many efforts into creating it " I defended myself and my chamatkar baba.

" I suggest you not to name your kids, I swear. Let your husband do that " he said. I gave him some accusing looks.

" Now only I will name them "

" Don't get offensive re. I was kidding. Sorry if I offended you,- " he said.

Good, he apologized before Mafia Queen Ananya could come out.

"-Chamatkar "

" I'm taking revenge one day. Just wait till I get something against you. "

" Okay Chamatkar " he said and I rolled my eyes.

I guess I'm going to get used to this name.

We heard the small bushes moving and some voice from over there. It wasn't scary until it moved again with some more loud noise this time.

I looked towards Sahil with some expressions we call very scared. I gulped in fear.

There can not be any animal in the building. No.

Definitely not a lion. You did get a dream where a lion ate you but this, this is reality, Anu.

" What.. is there? " I asked him and we both stood up from out seats.

" I don't know, let's check " he suggested.

" You go. I'm not coming " I replied and threw my hands up in surrender.

" Nothing dangerous can be here. It must be some bird " he said.

" Which bird comes at night? They must be sleeping now. Zero IQ Sahil? "  I asked sarcastically.

" Yes, two zeros with a two in front of them IQ, chamatkar " he replied and went ahead.

" I can see that. What if there is a crocodile? Ish, no. Worse, An Alien? They come like this. " I said and he turned back just to give me a 'Are you for real?' look.

" Zero IQ, Ananya? "

" My IQ isn't zero but your creativity is, Sahil " I replied.

He turned some bush aside.

" Ahhh "

He again turned back to give me a look.

" Why your reaction is coming before the action? " He said something which went over from my head at this moment.

" Sorry. My brain sent adrenaline rush. Fear, Fight, Flight, you know? " I asked him.

" I know what adrenaline rush is, chamatkar. I also know that your brain sents it a little extra. Don't worry. I understand " he indirectly in a way roasted me. Nice.

Nice!

The voice from the bush increased and I ran towards Sahil and hid behind him because there was nothing else where I can hide. He just shook his head at this action of mine.

When did Mafia Queen Ananya started fearing from a voice-y bush?

He kept his hands on the both side of the bush and pressed them so we can see what's on the other side. Correction, He can see what's on the other side. Because all I could see was his white T-shirt fitted perfectly on his mascular back which also had no stain.

" Which detergent do you use? " I asked him randomly.

" Why? "

" Your white t shirt is really very white. Mine gets coloured the moment I wear it somehow "

I stopped buying white clothes much now because of the same reason.

Geez,Anu. What nonsense are you speaking? What nonsense questions are you asking?

" I will show you my detergent once we reach home " he said while shaking his head.

" Okie dokie " I said while showing a thumbs up which he couldn't see.

Embarrassment number 343. Tick.

I peeped a little from the side to see what noisy thing was going to be revealed but to my utter disappointment it was nothing. I composed myself and stood straight fixing my broken posture.

" It was nothing. You were scared for nothing " he said.

" Huh, you think I was scared? Nono. I am not scared of anything or anyone. Mafia-" I trailed of in between.

He doesn't need to know about your secret.

I got startled and almost jumped of my feet when I heard a loud scream exactly when I turned back. I kept a hand on my chest to calm myself (being a dramatic soul I am).

" Boo! "

Due to my sudden jump I stumbled on my feet was about to fall backwards directly on my back when two hands didn't let me, holding me. One hand was on my shoulder and the other in my arm.

Oh my my!

🦋

Ah, I have such cuties and crackheads as my main leads and I love them.

I prepared this chapter last minute so I'm sure it isn't up to the mark but Okayy.

Who can this person be? Any guesses?

This chapter was just Ananya being Ananya. And Sahil handling that Ananya. Lol.
