Skinny kulfis
"Does your mother know? she asked gasping
"Umm... yeah, she just saw us off he said cleverly
"Don't speak in legalese she shrieked
He laughed and opened the moonroof, and watched her dupatta fly out like a flag followed by the tendrils framing her gorgeous face
"Haritt
"I told you she knows
"Does anyone in the house know you like rafting
"Yeah he nodded looking at her seriously
"MA JAANTIN HAIN? she was shocked
"Umm... I answered the q u asked he laughed
She punched his arm "Don't do this to me "u are (punach) doing (punch) it again (punch)
He continued to laugh
"Agar Ma nahi jaantin to tum jaogi nahi
"DON'T DO TUM she ordered
"Teeku to hum kahenge nahi, na aap, na aur kuch he mocked
"We are going to get into so much trouble, you are not home the whole day I AM she complained
"Hum trouble mein aane nahi denge tumhe, just keep me happy he smiled gleefully
"EEWW SICKKK she said furiously
He was obviously enjoying her rant he he drove listening to her whine
"Aur Chandu ko nahi kehna samajh gayi tum? he said suddenly looking toward her
"Hum to aaj dopahar mein unke school se aate hi keh denge she said gleefully
He put his hand on her neck
"Stop it
"Suno, meri sun glasses nikal do glove compartment se? he begged
"Nahi, you have no idea, what if they call my parents, and my parents call aunty downstairs in Malviya Nagar and they tell her?
To theek hai na, tum apni aunty ko kar lo he said simply
"Do u do this a lot? she asked after sulking 30 or so kms
"Umm... take women to Rishikesh? Nahi pehli baar hai he laughed again
"Aapki jokes hasne waali nahi hain she told him categorically
"I could pull over and he stopped
"Nope she was hot and bothered
He pulled over and stopped as they approached Moradabad, Veer Ji ka Dhaba it said
"Harit Ma ne khaana diya hai she pulled on his arm as he began walking, he used the opportunity to grasp it snugly
"Ma's food doesn't go bad for weeks, she does something to it he promised
He walked with her toward the restaurant
"Matka kulfi khaogi? he asked
"Aapko kaise maloom? she quizzed a hand on her hip stopping mid way
"Oh my god, you've done this many times before and your family does not know?
"Yep, that sounds about right he nodded
He pulled on her arm and they sat down and he fed her the world's best matka kulfi and fresh off the fryer kachauris with imli chutney and pudina chutney.
The waiter pointedly told Teeku he had a "fat free version
The boss had told him to offer that to all "city girls
Teeku chose the real deal
The kulfis decadent, in their yellow/saffron creamy goodness
"I love it so so much she said softly
"Thanks
She smiled mischievously "Aap aise khush ho rahe hain jaise aapne khud ne banayi hai
"Hum chai bana lete hain, maggi, mac and cheese from a box and dal chawal, tumhe Rishikesh mein khilayenge
"U don't like to cook? she asked
He shook his head "Nope
"Aur kya nahi pasand aapko?
"Hamey Bareilly ki garmi nahi pasand, kathal nahi khaate hum, raat ki baasi roti, Hindi B&W movies nahi pasand, I dont like skinny women he said
She blushed self consciously
"Oh good, phir hum teesri kulfi bhi kha paayenge she joked weakly
Their gaze locked, and that's when his subtle approval of her physical appearance registered in her brain
"I have never rafted before she said breathing audibly
"Yesss he made a fist and pulled his arm back
"Kyon?
"Aap to duniya bhar ghoom chuki hain, hamey laga koi leisure activity aisi nahi jo aapne na kee hogi
"Aap? she asked, hurt
"You are well traveled he left that distance unbridged
"Its just with Dad and Mum, I didn't travel for work she tried desperately to be like him fledgling, struggling 20 something... broke and daydreaming
"But its great.. he said
"Aap?
"UK... Scotland, London, some of Ireland he said
"I am OK... u know... agar... travel nahi bhi karey hum to hum kuch miss nahi karenge"😭 her tone one of "I want to be like YOU"
"Too late now "his lips twitched "U are a world traveler"
"Will you teach me to raft? she asked changing the topic, sprinting towards his lifestyle breathlessly
"Sochenge he smiled harmlessly
