Love Edict
She entered the door and turned towards him "thanks for bringing me back from the bus stop" she said nervously
"You are welcome" he said politely
"Umm.. can I come in?" "I need to get ready for work" he chuckled
She staggered back embarrassed
"It looked like I was going to shut the door on you" she closed her eyes with her left hand ashamed
"I bet you were looking for some alone time with your love" he laughed under his breath
She dropped the hand and looked at him startled
How does he know about Jayadev and how I am trying to locate him?
Her face paled
"I meant your cat" he said quietly
"Oh... I dont know where Prasad is" she shrugged carelessly
"You know where the cat is" he smiled
"I know" she looked at Prasad's door longingly
"So? Can I come in?" he leaned on the doorjamb
"Oh sorry" she walked in shaking her head
She didnt see him afterwards the chef cooked up a storm
There was no reaction on her face upon seeing Trisha
"I am making fish, eat if you want" she mumbled
"Thank you" she nodded turning away towards her own room.
she slept all day mostly
Waking up around 6 in the evening when the doorbell woke her
Her cat leapt out of Prasad's arms into her warm sleepy cuddle
"I missed you too" she told MJ
"We were wondering if we should come see you in Ullal" he laughed
"Nobody likes cat in my house so I might have to sleep in the courtyard" she giggled
"thanks, I will be gone tomorrow. Do you mind feeding him?" he asked
"Oh no... I will just keep him here" she nodded
"Wont Ashvin mind?" he asked surprised
"I will tell him I havent seen MJ for a week" she nodded
"Did you have a good reunion?" Ashvin asked behind her, a hand tucked in his jeans pocket
grinning at her, as she lounged in her fave chair in the balcony pretending to read but only fluffing the cat's tail.
He was changed from his work clothes, and he wore Sperrys with no socks
"I have my keys now" he dangled his own set
"You think i am making it up but when Prasad left he came her and sat on this chair like saying "Trisha I want to be on your lap" she said sincerely
"and you just said that with a straight face?" he was uncontrollable now
She watched him laugh... more like ogled
He paused and ogled back down at her
She wore a maxi dress with fairy wings like sleeves in a blue green georgette material, her short messy bob tied up on top
Her meter long neck stretched like a mouthwatering treat.
He walked away from the doorjamb, approaching her
The cat climbed on to her lap and scowled at him
"If you are nice he will be nice" she promised lifting its fat paw and waving at Ashvin
"And how will that be?" he asked
He bend down, and almost crouched by her, the cat scoped him...
She sat up, a little shy at finding him leaning over her stretched out body
She nervously shoved the cat to his arms to put some distance between them
"He will know if you love him" "He will act differently if he does" "they are very knowledgable"
"Oh boy!!" he chuckled breathlessly at that pseudo-animal science
"He is a smug beast" he said conclusively
Trisha tcched him
The cat crawled back into her arms
"Too bad" she scolded Ashvin
The front door bell rang
It was his mother Mandira Narang
Dressed in offwhite capris and a floral chiffon blouse, carrying a oversized designer purse.
"Dont you have the keys?" he accused his Mom
"But you are a married man now Ashvin" she smirked
Scanning the room for her illegitimate DIL
Trisha walked out with her cat and froze.
Mandira slowly walked over to her tall son went on her stilletoes.. and kissed him near his eyes
