Perky Lies
Chapter 1-
" Please? Oh Nandani. It's nothing then a casual meeting. Nothing screams arranged about this" Mom pleaded in her lowest tone. I chuckled in response. Moms eyes grew big and I was slowly losing, sinking into her insistence.
" Mom. Fine. I'm doing this. But. For you. Just so you can sleep at night." I stormed off and crashed into my bed. Marriage was the last thing in my head right now, truth be told, I had no desire in marriages or anything related. I shivered at the thought of being in love. The reflection across the room was haunting me. The ends of my hair stood out dull, the bags under my eyes grew denser.
" You seriously cannot be this mad." Sam shook me out of my pitying thoughts.
" Why doesn't anyone get in this household that I don't like getting hooked up with these random guys by mom that ends up me being married? I don't want to be in a relationship or any of that sort! Gosh " My voice was roaring in the seemingly big room. I was too annoyed to care. Life wasn't playing fair with me and guy issues wasn't exactly on my agenda at the moment
" Chill nans, no one's asking you to have babies with him. Meet him and get this over with. Moms satisfied and you don't get to hear the endless taunting." Sam winked and pushed me over the bed. "And word on the street nans the dudes hot and rich! Total plus!". Sam was now tackling me, tickling me in places where my body gave up and I looked like a fool that had a weird laugh. I had a good laugh in ages, it felt surreal.
" Now if you two sisters are done fooling around. Nandu darling get ready cause my friends
and her son are coming right now." Mom broke the giggles and stood stiff with a wide grin.
" Mom..how did you know..what?" I reluctantly stood up perplexed. My stomach was aching from the constant laughter and my face was burning.
" Well a mom knows nandu. No ifs or buts but get in the shower! Right now!" Mom opened the wardrobe and set out the sundress out on the bed. Mom was shooting glares and I slammed the bathroom door. The broiling water glazed my naked skin and I was baked. My skin turned numb, the hotness fogging up the atmosphere.
" Damn my nans a heartbreaker!" Sam squeaked.
" Did they arrive yet? Or do I have to wait for those unpunctual people?" I scoffed at the reflection in the mirror. My dull skin stood out and I was really questioning Nans eyesight.
" It's 7:10."
" So. So what not everyone has all the time in world to go and chit chat." I replied. Next week was my interview with the airline and I still haven't prepared. My lack of preparation was frightening. I held in my breath.
" So this is Sams bedroom and..." I froze. " And I guess this is my daughter Nandani. Nandani murthy that is." To say the unknown women was beautiful would be an understatement. Her skin was radiant against the harsh yellow light. She had those warm brown eyes you couldn't seem to get enought of. Her lean built was in her favor and I was in awe.
" Hi" Was all I could utter. The unknown women reached out her hand.
" I'm nyonika. Nice to meet you Nandani, Manik will be here soon." Her fragrant smell hit my nostrils and filled up our proximity. We shook hands and she left the room shortly.
" Dang she's one gorgeous momma" Sam whispered.
" You don't need to whisper anymore she's gone." I paced back and forth in the room. Is this guy not aware of the time? Whatever it was I needed to get it over with. The unknown women whose name was Nyonika entered Sams bedroom and sat down on the couch. Nyonikas fruity aroma instantly filled up the room.
" Nandani, dear I'm sorry to be taking up your time. My son..He's uhh..he's coming." Nyonika smiled showing her obvious whitened teeth. I took this time to go to the bathroom and freshen up. As I was headed to the bathroom , I lost my gaze and collided with what seems to be the most stiff chest ever.
" f**k!" Was all he mumbled. The strands of my hair covered most of my vision. Half of my vision went to a blur but nothing seemed to cover those dark rust tan eyes. They were furrowing in confusion and they were dancing in harmony. I was still on top of him, and my legs went jelly.
" I'm so sorry." He sprang up and I could see this beautiful man was soaring high. I reached just a little below his shoulder.
" Well Nandani I take it you met my son Manik. One hell of a meeting you guys had" Nyonika intervened pausing the intense eye lock I started.
" Nandani. Nandani I'm sorry " Manik offered his hand to mines, and suddenly my hand didn't function, neither was my mouth.
" And I'm Sam" Sam and Manik shook hands. Sam nudged my arms and I was still unable to move. Why am I reacting like this?
" Are you lips not able to move nans?" Sam whispered exasperated. Why am I not able to speak.
" Nandani" I finally spoke. I had overcome the speaking problem but what about my heart? It was beating as rapidly as it can. What in the world was this?
" Sooo..Nandani dear we'll leave you two alone and get talking guys" Nyonika was exiting the room,whilst Sam vanished with a wink.
" Stupid." I mumbled.
" You were saying something?" Manik questioned as his body took the full support of the bed.. I remembered it was just the two of us now. Silence was among us filling the gap between us. I couldn't get enough of his face, how his hair dropped nicely under his ears, distinctive jawline. Musk and mahogany was his taste and he had amazing pair of eyes. Manik was definitely Nyonikas son. His gaze never left mine and I had turned insecure now.
" Look lets cut the chase. We both don't want to be here by the looks of your face." Manik mumbled breaking the elongated silence that once filled the air. My throat was dry and Manik now saw the burning cheeks of mine. How dare he? I felt humiliated to the core. Who was he to talk to me like this? Did he think I enjoyed this little meeting of ours? Oh it's on!
" Excuse me? I'm happy you acknowledged that we both are unhappy with this but I'd prefer if you stay shut and keep your thoughts to yourself" I snapped. Nandani Murthy was not rude and let things slide but whoever this Manik was really let the inner wild out. Manik just seem to circle right in front of me and was rather amused.
" Woah woah tiger " Manik replied with sly amusement. Manik was rather happy with me being all worked up. Who ever this arrogant eye sore guy was, I needed him out! My thoughts finally took a halt when the sight of him was near the door. Was he leaving? This arrogant prick had to face me before leaving.
" As much as I'm delighted with the idea of you leaving, our moms are friends, sadly and I would hate to rat you out so you don't say a thing about me and neither do I." My body was leaning against the door, mere inches away from his. This is the most logical thing to do.
" Sure darling. " Manik replied with that arrogant smirk of his. He was out the door and I was left unstable. I wanted to punch his face so bad. The thought of that alluring face getting smacked was cringing though. He definitely disliked me, as I did too. Mahogany and musk never left the air and left me nauseous. My day had went downhill from here and I just wanted to sleep.
Flashes of rust tan eyes were caressing my cheek. I abruptly got up from the dizzy dream to find my body glistening with sweat.
Manik? Why was he in my dreams?
Enjoy guys!
