Mina's AbhiGya Drabbles | updates p23-27 (drabbles from Jan/15) - Page 12

*abhi has noticed that chashmish goes off somewhere at 7:30pm every day*

*she finishes helping daadi eat dinner, she eats quickly at the table with everyone else, then she tells mithali bhabhi and robin that she will come back later to put things away and they just need to carry things into the kitchen*

*then she runs up the stairs*

*like a speeding train! statue of chashmish becomes steam engine of chashmish!*

*waise normally abhi is not bothered by the doings of chashmish; since the wedding drama, he lives his life and she lives hers. everyone knows she's only still in this house for daadi.*

*abhi feels bad about all the stuff he and aaliya put her through so he just tries to stay out of her way, he doesn't want to face her, he just wants things to go on in peace*

*anyway abhi keeps wondering what does chashmish do at 7:30!*

*so one day he follows her!*

*what's this! chashmish is in their bedroom, curled up in front of the tv!*

*actually she looks really cute all wrapped up in a blanket, leaning on the ottoman, all snug as a bug...insect chashmish, why is that cute, and yet it is!*

*abhi may have eaten too much kadi at dinner! giving him indigestion and weird thoughts! waise why does this chashmish have to cook such delicious food, he never had this problem with bahadur kaka's cooking! uff!*

*snug as a bug chashmish has a bowl of popcorn! well at least she is not eating his badams, the cornerstone of his health, but what happened to her lectures about junk food?? didn't she just eat dinner?*

*is that why chashmish eats like a bird? quick and small portions, so she can run up to the room and stuff herself with popcorn?*

*this chashmish is so weird!*

*chashmish is so glued to the tv she doesn't even notice that abhi has entered the room! what! this is so not like her, she's always in dharampatni mode, she always looks straight up at him when he enters her presence!*

*but chashmish's eyes are fixed on the tv!*

*abhi feels suddenly jealous and angry on his tv! doesn't it know chashmish's eyes are for him only! she doesn't stare at anyone or anything but sometimes she practices her eye-magic on him!*

*the tv is gonna mess up her eye magic! he must intervene!*

*abhi goes and stands in front of the tv and snaps his fingers in chashmish's face*

*"heyyy chashmish! eyes on the prize! what are you doing!"*

*"arre, aap yahaan kya kar rahe hai? hatiye, hatiye!! abhi issi waqt! move right now!" chashmish snaps irritably*

*abhi is shocked and confused, chashmish is shouting, telling him to get out of the way, and she's still not even looking at him! she is leaning her head and craning her neck this way and that, still trying to see what's on the tv!*

*abhi frowns and reaches for the remote, but chashmish is clutching it in a death grip*

*then chashmish physically reaches out her arm and swats him away from the tv!*

*abhi stumbles to the side and almost trips on his dumbbells*

*chashmish doesn't even notice because she's still watching the tv!*

*confused and overwhelmed abhi goes and sits on the bed. this way he can be behind chashmish and see what she's looking at, and he will be safe from her swatting arms*

*insect chashmish is so dangerous! abhi is alarmed and decides to be very careful*

*abhi looks at the screen and after a few moments he realizes chashmish is watching a very bizarre cricket game*

*it is indoors, and not even in a proper stadium. there are loads and loads of people, but they're all surprisingly good looking. they don't look like regular cricket players or regular cricket fans*

*"heyy chashmish what is this you are watching??" abhi demands*

*"shhh!" chashmish responds, again without looking at him*

*a new player comes up to bat, and chashmish actually claps!*

*she tucks her hands under her chin and leans close to the tv! abhi can see that she is grinning!*

*abhi watches chashmish in bewilderment, as chashmish watches the guy on screen in fascination. waise he's a pretty good looking guy, even abhi would say; he's tall and fit, a bit dark, great hair and some very dashing stubble*

*the camera pans behind the player and abhi sees that on the back of his blue jersey, the name SHABBIR is printed. abhi thinks he should look up this shabbir, what team does he play for, he looks like a good athlete though a bit old for professional cricket maybe*

*chashmish closely watches this shabbir, and when he is successful in his batting, she claps and bounces with glee!*

*who knew chashmish could be this into sport!!*

*the camera pans away from shabbir to focus on some commentators, and finally chashmish looks away from the tv! she turns to abhi and says "yes, did you want something?"*

*"yes, an explanation!" abhi states. then he unleashes all his pent up questions - "what are you watching? since when are you into cricket? what kind of faltu cricket is this without a proper ground and the players aren't even wearing helmets? why is everyone there so good looking?"*

*chashmish opens her mouth to answer, but then she hears the announcer say that next up is SHALEEN MALHOTRA, and she whips her head around to look back at the tv*

*seriously Abhi can feel a breeze flap past his face because she turned so quickly! this chashmish is gonna crack her neck surely!*

*once against chashmish's eyes are stuck on the screen, and she is following every move of this shaleen character. he too is a fit, built guy, tall with handsome features and fair skin. no awesome facial hair like that shabbir, though, so abhi is less impressed*

*abhi hopes that maybe he'll get a chance to talk to chashmish when this shaleen's run is over, but she just tells him to hush because now next up to bowl from the opposing team is RITHVIK DHANJANI*

*abhi is starting to suspect what chashmish is up to and he doesn't like it. but this rithvik is not as built as the other guys, he looks a bit reedy actually, and rather young. but then again his face looks like it should be on movie posters*

*abhi reminds himself that his own face is on concert posters and cd covers and all over the place so he has no reason to feel insecure, especially not of pretty boy tv cricketers who are probably ten years younger than him*

*finally the damn show goes on commercial break and abhi can talk to chashmish again*

*"chashmish, eyyy chashmish!" abhi says loudly. "i know what you're doing you naughty girl, you're watching this just to ogle the men!"*

*chashmish turns to him, but to his surprise she is neither frowning nor blushing! oh no, instead insect chashmish is smiling!! big huge smile! spider about to eat its mate smile!*

*man that kadi is really having a strange effect on abhi, he needs to tell chashmish not to put her magic in the family dinner too...*

*chashmish says happily "not just the men! there are lots of pretty women in the box cricket league too!"*

*"oh really?" says abhi. "who are all these people?"*

*"arre!" chashmish huffs. "i guess big time rockstars don't watch tv? i can't believe you don't recognize them. they're the top soap stars!"*

*abhi is about to taunt her for her downmarket tastes, but then the cricket comes back on, and the camera is focused on SURBHI JYOTI, and abhi's attention is caught on the screen*

*he leans forward and grabs some popcorn from insect chashmish's bowl and she doesn't stop him. together they watch the beautiful actress take her turn and abhi starts to think maybe chashmish has a point, and maybe he could clear the 7:30-8:30 block of his calendar going forward...waise it will be more fun to watch this BCL with chashmish than listen to tanu's whining any day...*
