I just looked at him. Well, not

Sameer Rathod, but that doesn't meant that he would tease me. If Sakshi would
say something about Rathod sir to tease me I still could come over her... but

I sat down on the bench there waiting
for him. I closed my eyes and leaned my back on the wall. I was very tired
after working for the whole day and now I am so much hungry. I sighed and look
back at my watch which telling me it was 9.30pm. I let out another sigh and
brought out my phone intended to calling him.

I finally got rid of this conference
and headed back to the hotel. I was so tired. I just had closed my eyes and my

"Yah, probably.
Aisha... how can I forget her...I met her
three years ago in a club. My team and I were after her, assuming her a
culprit. I admit I felt a ting of happiness when I saw her for the first. She
had a kind of sparkle in her eyes that I never had witness before. Although she
was bar dancer but I felt kind of jealousy and I was angry when I saw how other
men were gazing at her with lust. I was sorry for the first time in my life, I
wished if she was not the culprit. For the first time I hoped if my judgment
about her being culprit turned to wrong... and guess what? My practical judgment
failed before my heart...

So now I got why Rawte was so
desperate to bring me Mumbai. He wanted to give us some private time. I smiled.
Although I'm not happy to for being teased by him but I'm grateful to him for
helping me. I am sure he must be laughing holding his stomach imagining my
face.

Dastarkhan was really a place to
capture in your heart. It seems Vini had left no effort to make this place so
beautiful to let people cherish their sweetest memory here. One glance and you
definitely gonna love it. A wooden gate with a hanging golden nameplate over it
will welcome you leading towards a yard inside beautifully decorated with
various and colorful plants and flower. You will feel like sitting inside of a
beautiful garden with all kind of arrangement for refreshment. At the end of
the backyard, a wooden kitchen decorated with beautiful and colorful hanging

I looked at him wondering if I wasn't
day-dreaming... he actually asked me this I had wished for a long time. I smiled

We walked through a beautiful garden
cum yard and stopped near a wooden hut. I'm sure this must be the kitchen... he
unlocked the door and took me inside. I saw another door behind the huge pantry

He went ahead and pulled out a chair
for me, requesting me to seat down. I gladly followed him. Once I settled down
on my seat he went near the pantry and wrapped himself with an apron.

I was so content with all the thing
happened with me. I wished him to be with me at birthday and there he was. He
asked me for a dinner. Coming to Dastarkhan, I happened to meet my favorite
chef VR Newallkar... these were so great...he knowingly or unknowingly had

perfectly cooked up. He later brought out some raw food and processed them in a

Meanwhile the oven beeped a sound
letting us know that the cake was done. He still busy with the sauce pan and

He carefully brought out the cake
from the oven and placed it on the counter. He spread and frosted some cream cheese
on it and decorated with cherry on top of it. I was also done with the other
dishes and soon placed them on the table. He came with the cake and a knife to
cut it.

Everything was done smoothly. I hold
