Suddenly a loud sound of thud brought them crashing back ruthlessly to reality.
The folding bed which was behind the almirah had fallen on the floor, making the loudest sound that can ever be made on planet earth.
Meera felt awkward was an understatement , to the undescribed wave of emotions starting from her stomach and slicing her ribcage and reaching her heart.
Her heart was hammering inside her ribcage at a speed which she thought would if continued to beat like this would crack her ribcage and be in her hands at any moment of time now.
Realizing that she was in his arms and didn't even allowed official resistance made her even more angry... at herself.
She started struggling to get out his arms.
Meera:Let me go.
Prithvi: Are you sure??
Meera raised both of her eyebrows to form perfect arrow and made prithvi's heart beat even faster than Meera's, he never knew girls could smother and then also manage to look irresistibly cute.
Meera: What makes you think I don't want to move out of this.. from your gruff stiff ugly large hands.
Prithvi: So you know my hands are large...
Meera snappped back.
Meera :I dont like big hands
Prithvi: So what kinds of hands you like.
Meera realized that this conversation was going in a direction that would be even more awkward than the current mess.
Meera: Leave me NOW.
Prithvi could not stop himself from smirking at her annoyance on her actions, denying the obvious which made Meera cringe even more.
Her cringe and his smirk were directly proportional, the more she cringed the more he smirked making her want to kill him even more.
Prithvi: OK , relax, I will let you go,but first you have to leave my hand which you have been holding for the past couple of minutes.
Meera couldn't believe herself when she found that she was the one who was still holding his hand as tightly as possible She had subconsciously been holding his hand and was so lost in his eyes that she forget where her hand was.Her cheeks became brilliant shade of pink on being caught red-handed.
She was not accustomed to be caught red-handed , her expression was some where between blushing, being annoyed at herself,
embarrassing and angry that Prithvi had caught her red handed.
Meera(s***, How could I let this happen)
Meera(Why doesn't the earth open up when you want it ...)
she let go off his hand as soon as possible and prthivi let her go reluctantly and made her sit on the bed.She couldn't meet his eyes
and was trying very hard to concentrate on not so much concentratable stuff in the room.
After moments of awkward silence hanging between them like an invisible wall
Prithvi: Are you hungry??
Meera: No
Prithvi : Are you sure??
Meera was obviously hungry but since when has ego been rational and logical..
Meera: I said I am not hungry
Prithvi :Ok, I will get the food and keep it in the room when you are hungry, you can have it.
Meera:What ever...
Prithvi went outside and brought a plate with some food that was covered with another plate.She wasn't able to see the contents.
He kept the plate on the same stool where the jug of water was kept.
All this while Meera was trying to look at everything except him.
Meera:My clothes are torn, I want something to wear.
Prithvi:Be my guest, Pick anything from my personal collection of ladies finery lying in front of you in these tatters.
Meera narrowed her eyes to the person across the room who was leaving no strone unturned to go for the first kill of her life.
Meera (ohhh, I am so gonna roast him)
Prithvi pushed the almirah back to its place and opened it, he took out a pair of kurta and dhoti and gave to Meera.
Meera made a face while picking the kurta and dhoti
Meera: eewww, What is this?
Prithvi: I thought your eyes weren't hurt.
meera: very funny, what is this?you surely don't expect me to wear this.
Prithvi: This is the only thing I have got if you want to change.
meera:I can't wear this
Prithvi:thanks for not wearing, I only have one extra pair..
Meera was now beyond furious at the audacity of the man standing in front of her.
Prithvi:I am going out for some work and will return later, till then don't try to be stand.
Meera tried to be as unaffected as possible although prithvi's comment had made her want to stand and show him her walking, running and more importantly her
kicking skills but after her miserable failed attempt she knew her short comings.And life had taught her to first overcome her weak points before venturing into any kind of fight.
Meera(that was so totally blow the belt mister,Wait till my legs are strong enough to kick you in your sorry a**)
Prithvi started walking towards the door and turned back just on the door and
Prithvi :By the way I am Prithvi, thanks for asking the name of the person who saved your life.
Meera's jaws dropped to the ground on hearing Prithvi's latest verbal assault and she concluded that he would be the most hated man in her life and killing him would be justified.
Saying that Prithvi was out of the room, leaving a highly infuriated Meera inside the room who was burning up so much that a blasting furnace temperature could be labelled ice cold.
That's it Guys ..
