I decided to make a series of litte storis (OS)...whenever I have an idea,...I will come here to post a OS...it will be short and light 😉 there no relation btween the stories...every OS have a different story😃
you loved my first OS:'' just for one night'', here a different one:
The Date
Starring at her…with both surprised and shocked eyes…
she brings the cup of cappuccino to her lips, then she took a sip, she put the cup ... he retained a smile ... her lips are now covered by the foam cream adorning the cappuccino ...
He still looking at her…with wide eyes …
She looks at him:
-what?
He joins his lips together and then with his finger, he points her lips…
Shocked, she opens her eyes, widely:
-Kyaa?
He points his mouth, using his finger to show the outline of his lips (trying to tell her that she has some cream stuck there:
-Unbelievable! You really dare misbehaving, here, in front of so much people, Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada? You know what? Firstly, I don't want to come here, but,…
Suddenly, he took a Kleenex and puts it on her lips… it stuck there…kHushi, finally, has conscious that he was telling her, from the beginning that she's just stupid with that cream moustache but she thinks that he wants to tell her something else….
K:-mmm! Sorry!
A:-If you don't want to come, then, why you are here?
-Actually, it's the fault of…
-Anjeli!...right?
She hesitates:
-yes!
-Me too! She insists to that I come, here!
Khushi looks at him, her amused expression disappear…her friend Anjeli wants her to meet her brother, since, two weeks, because Anjeli and her mother, both, want him to get married and when he say, finally YES, Anjeli begs her to meet him, because, no girl between who he meets want to meet him, again…
Anjeli wants her to meet him to discover the way his brother is behaving with all the girls he meets before…she begs her, during two weeks…so, she have to try making him talk…
***
Flashback:
Anjeli:-I'm not asking you to make love to him, ok? I'm just asking you to meet him, once, only, a date, just one, we need to know how he's talking to a girl, what make all the girls running away, from him…do you know Priya?...Priya? the daughter of our neighbor…she meets him and since that day, when she saw me, she ignores me!...and Jeeveka? You know, that beautiful, cute girl, she used to go to the same college with us, she closes her facebook account to never talk to me, again…and so Maya, Lavanya, Seema, Tara…
Khushi said, amused: -Enough…you make me scared and you want to sacrifice our friendship too by letting me meet this monster?
-No! Khushi! We are true friends! I know, even if he behaves harshly with you! You will still my friend, na!
-No! No! No! no way! I can't! I can't! I'm scared!
-Why? It's not like you will spend Suhaag raat with him! Just a date! Please, please, please….say yes, yes! I have, for you, mountains of kit kat, ferreo rochee, …
-I'm not a little girl anymore, Anjeli, I'm 22!
-I will let my mum cook a mountain of Jalebi, only for you!
-Ok!
-Deal?
-Deal!
-Oh you really my little, cute, lovely doll, you're my sweaty tyty…
-I'm not a baby!
***
-yes! Anjeli is my friend!
-I know that! But what I don't know is that she asks her friends, now, to meet me!
Ok, now, she has to lie, for Anjeli…and to realize her mission!
-No…No!...she didn't ask me!…actually, she knows that I want to get married! (lie n1) So, she arranged that for the two of us! (lie n2)
-You want to get married?
-yes!(lie n3)...that's why I'm here (lie n4)
-Why a girl like you want to get married! You should complete your studies, too!
Khushi looks at him, closing and then opening her eyes, moving slowly her eyelashes in an innocent way (to look like an innocent, traditional, shy girl)
K: -Marriage is the dream of every girl and like every girl, for now, I want to this dream to be true…(lie n5: even if she wants, and she's not even thinking about that, now, it will never be him)
She looks at the roof, with dreaming eyes:
K: -I want to my husband to come to me, on his white horse (lie n6)
Arnav was staring at her…ready to go and let this crazy girl speaking like this, alone…but, he continues looking at her…
K:- …and then he catches me and we fly together to his…his palace…and then…he sits on his knees and looks at the bottom of my eyes and say: ''would you marry me!'' and I answer ''yes'' and then…
A: -He kisses you
Khushi looks at him, shocked…
A: -on your forehead!
K:-yes! And then…
A:-then?
K:- we will have many children, at least…many, many of them! Because we will love each other to the eternity! (Lie story n7)
A:-oh! That…I'm sure! (He said with a sarcastic smile)
Her phone ring…
Arnav retain another smile because the ringtone was hilarious: '' CHALO MAIYA KE BHAWAN – BHAWAN''…it was funny…
''hello! Buaji! Yes! …No!... no!...yes!...what? don't! (she beats her forehead, really worried) Hey Devi maya…No! No! I'm fine, I told I will be late! …No! don't go before I come, otherwise, I will never talk to you again!...;you wait for me! Wait for me! Ok?...ok! bye then…yes! Bye!''
Arnav was amused by the way she talks, like a little girl, he was about to talk and then, her phone ring again:
''hello?...di?...yes! I'm…yes…
She looks at him and then turns, he's facing her back, now, but he can see that she puts her palm on her mouth,…she talks and then she turns to see him, and then talks…Finally, she cuts the call!
K:-Sorry! But it was my sister, before, it was my buaji!
She smiles and then she stop smiling because, he wasn't smiling back but he's looking at her with the same indifferent eyes, he was looking like he was angry all the time…
Kushi's phone rings again, she's about to take the call when he takes the phone from her hand, switched it off and puts him in the pocket of his vest…
-Excuse me! …give me my phone!
-No!
-give it to me!
-No!
-you have an Iphone! Why you're stealing my phone?...give it to me!
-No! you should respect the fact that you're talking with me, you don't have the right to talk to anybody else, every time! See! My phone is in silent mood! …why?...because, I'm here with you, during two hours, so, I respect the fact that I'm talking with you, during that time! When you leave, I can receive calls, then!
What? It's like she was in the classroom, and Mr. Verma (her Math teacher) is talking!...she was about to scream on his face ''Give me my phoooneee'' …but, no, she have to be calm, for Anjeli…
K:-you're right! (lie n9)! I'm really sorry! (lie n10)
She give him a faked smile!...again, she drink her cappuccino, again the cream stuck on her mouth, this time, she uses her tongue to take all the cream away…Arnav was looking….strangely, he find that cute…she was funny!...she is really, crazy but cute!
A: -And after you get so many children, you and your prince, what will you do?
K:-Well…we will watch movies together!
A:-oh!
K:-he will read poems for me!
A:-good idea to spend time!
K:-We can play many games!
A:-Games?!
K:-yes! Monopoly, scrabbles, all the cards game…
A:-hide and seek!
K:-so funny!
She was really excited!
A:-Really? You find this funny?
K :-to be honest! I still play this with my Buaji!
A:-Really?
He was so shocked…
K:-NO! of course! I was kidding! (lie n11)
A:-No! I think it wasn't a joke! You really play this game and enjoy it, I'm sure!
She nodded a yes and…
Booommm…he smiles and then, he laughs and what a laugh! He's really handsome! God! He's handsome! Stop laughing! Stop!!!!
Khushi puts the spoon on her chocolate cake and starts eating, stressed, confused, watching him like this, he have to do something…so, she eats…
Hopefully, he stops laughing:
-God! You shouldn't get married! You still a baby!
-you're right! Even Buaji…(she answers automatically and then, no, she is supposed to be here, for an arranged marriage)…No! I'm not a baby! I'm just…
-childish?
-No! I'm just…
-cute!
He said with a husky voice that she blushes…what the…!!
-N…no!
-No? You think you're not cute?...I think (he started at her, looking at her face)…I think you're…yes…cute and…(he pick up the napkin and he wipes her mouth) and so sweet that sweets like to stuck on your lips!
Khushi can hear her heart's beats…why he's doing this to her! It's a torture: his voice, look, expression, words… Cute and sweet? And he's…he's so…so charming!...she should just come back to the house and tell Anjeli that the problem is not him but the blind, stupid girls that he meets before…
She smiles…he smiles too:
A:-Khushi!
Kh:-yes!
- Give me your number to that next time I will call to fix our next date!
-Next date?!
-yeh!...oh! you don't want to…?
-No! I want! But…
-but?
-you…you want to meet me again?
-there is a problem?
-N…no! (lie n12)
-you don't want!
-No! I want!
-ok!
-ok!
-fine!
-fine!
-perfect!
-perfect!
-stop repeating what I say!
-stop rep…Ok!
Khushi was confused; she's here, for only, testing him…but…here, Devi Maya is punishing her, for her lies…
A:-there is a problem Khushi?
Khushi shi shi…she wished he can stop calling her like that or she will faint!...Anjeli should mention any of that…she describes him, like a monster …khushi hasn't any chance to see him, directly, before, any chance to talk to him, she saw him, only on photos…
K:-No! no problem!
-I understand! You're worried to go out with me because your family doesn't know me? They will keep asking you about me? Right? Give the number of your father? I will talk with him and meet him!
-What?...No! No!
-Khushi! Don't worry! I'm not goanna tell him that we want to meet each other for only a date…I will tell him that I want to know you more because you will be my wife!
-what?
She screamed and all the people, in the coffee shop turns to their table…she blushed!
She looks at him and whispered:
-What?
-what? You want to get married, right?
-No!
-No?
-I mean…you! You just…you told that I shouldn't get married! Because I still playing hide and seak…
-Yes! But I like it! And that game is my favorite too!...It doesn't I'm goanna marry you, now! But, both of us is ok to see the other, next time, so...Come! Now! I will drop you to your house!...it become late!
-No! No! there is no need!
-it's ok! I want to see where you live…maybe; I will have to visit you and your family a lot!
-Ok! Listen to me…but, promise that you will not be angry!
-tell me!
-promise!
-promise, I will not be angry!
-I lied to you!
(Khushi told him about everything, about her deal with Anjeli and how they want to discover how he is with girls…he was normal, his expression is the same, same amused eyes…)
-you're ok to do this because my mother will cook jalebi for you?
-hmmm! Yes! You're angry?
-No!
-don't tell Anjeli I told all that please!
-and when she will ask you, how do you find me?
-I will told her that…that you're so…nice and char…ming and hand…some and…
-All that is a lie to make me forgive you?
-NO! I think so! For real!
-Oh, really? But here, I can't trust you anymore!
-I swear! This is the truth! This is what I really think! I think you're a perfect husband! You should marry the best girl ever!
-Really?
-Absolutely!
-Prove it!
-what? How?
-Marry me!
Khushi had the shock of her life…she hesitates, looks at him:
-but…why? ….Because…I play hide and seek?
-No! Because you think I'm a perfect husband and I think that you're the best girl ever!
-just like that? You don't know me? You don't even know who I'm?
-Khushi! You think that I will marry you, tonight, I will take you to the temple, now?...you don't have to be that much confused, but, just tell me, are you ok with the idea? Yes or no?
Khushi looks at him…
-yes!
-ok! Give me you number!
-What?...I think I have just to said yes to prove for you that I'm not lying!
-Oh! You just said yes to prove that you're not lying but actually, you're lying, again?
-No! no!
-leave it!
-No! ….This my number
(she wrote her number on a paper)
-Good! Now! You prove it!
-what do you mean?
-I mean no need to think about our marriage, again!
-what? (Khushi became angry)…it's not a game! You just said that you think I'm the best for you!
She stands up
Kh:-give me my phone!
She tends her hand
Kh:-give me!
Instead of giving her phone, he holds her hand and before all the spectators (mean all the people who are watching them, now)…he led her outside, not giving up her hand…
-What are you doing?
-I will give you a lift to your home!
-why?
-to know where you live!
-why?
-because I want the number of your father!

After 6 years:
-where is my two princesses?...if I just catch you! I will eat the two of you!
Khushi and a little cute girl are hiding under a table:
-Papaaa! You have to find uj, without my help, na!
Khushi whispered: -Shhh! Lily! He will find us if you talk loudly!
-Ok!
And then they both scream because he finds them and both runs to he will not be able to catch them but he catches already Leena who are giggling, now in his arms:

He hugs her…

-yes! Ok! We play this game, every day! I always win!
Arnav kisses the soft cheek, amused!
-you're my sweet heart, you know?
She nodded a yes and kisses him…
-Pappa, will you told me about the story of the sweet princess, after?
-of course! When you go to bed! Ok?
-ok!
She smiles…she is just like her mum when she smiles…
He left her little angel calling her other angel Khushi!
-where is my princess? If I catch, you, I will definitely, eat you, this time!
He knows where she is, definitely, in their room, he opens the door…
Two hands pulled his t-shirt and pinned him on the wall:
-And what if it's me who catch you?
-oh! Then you have to eat me!
She let off his t-shirt and blushed, she turns, he hugs her from behind:
-you're really naughty, Arnav! You just forget that you're a father, now and that…what if lily see us, really, you're too much!
-mmmh! Really! What about this!
He kisses her cheek
-and this!
He kisses her other cheek
-or this!
He kisses her all over her face and neck
-No! Arnav! Please! Not now! Please!
-then when?
She whispered: -tonight!
-ok! Just a kiss, kiss me!
-ok! Close your eyes!
-khushi?!
-ok!
She kisses him in his cheek and then run downstairs, she sits next to her daughter and Arnav come and sits by her side…she smiles to him …he whispered on her ear ''not fair! You always cheat!''…she winks to him and starts watching the cartoon with Lily
-Lily?
-hmm Papa!
-what if me and your mum bring a little sister or brother to you?
Surprised, Leena stands up on the sofa, she clapped her little hands:
-yeh yeh yeh! Papa! Please! Just like Palak, my friend…she has a brother, ma! …She can play with him! …Papa promise you will bring me my brother or sister!
-Promise, baby!
-maama!
Khushi looks at Arnav, angrily because he always wins but amused by the idea and the happiness of the two of them:
-promise!
Arnav winks to her and then sits between the two of them, and takes the two between his arms:
Arnav:-I love you!
Khushi:-I love you too, baby!
Leena:-I love you too too!
All of them laugh!
