CPR!! - a short story.
It's been two days since Ms Ginni, the chudail was onboard at his residence for catering purposes. The chudail. A vampire. That's what he tagged her.
While working in the kitchen she was feeling uncomfortable as she knew that mr. Aditya singh khados sadu chap with long papaya face duti stamped by punjab government was watching her closely through his huge fierce xray eyes and antennas sensing her every move
She sighed deeply and thought to herself.
How nice it was if i could send this irritating rich egostic maniac namunna to another planet. I would have tons of cash to rent a rocket .
Then she dropped the idea
Naah, the aliens would curse me then. He will make their life hell. Ginni, u are the one chosen by the Almighty to teach him a lesson. So , lady start thinking, how to do it.
Her brains worked hard as she imagined ways of torturing him . Finally, she found the best two options. The first option, they have a beautiful garden. Why not hang him upside down from a tree branch and put a tokra of ants near him. So they could crawl all over him and bite his male pride. All ego will blow out of the window
The second option, lock him in the storeroom one full day, so she could do her work peacefully.
His dark eyes were still set on her every move.. He knew she was upto something. But he has his own plans as well. How to teach her a lesson. She is really getting on my nerves. So much drama just to sell her dabba. What a loser. Good for nothing. So much of ego despite being poor.
He thought deeply for ways to torture her and finally came up with a solution. Lock her in the storeroom for one full day. Yes!! That's it. Her work will not be accomplished and darji will kick her out. Kill two birds with a stone. Torture her and make her lose the contract.
An hour later at the living room.
The engagement ceremony went on well and everyone cheered as the bride and groom exchanged rings. Everyone danced happily. He couldn't take away his eyes as he saw her swaying with the music, behind the pillars Dancing quietly all alone to herself.
She moved her body smoothly as according to the lyrics of the song played and imagined her dad dancing with her when she was a kid but minutes later, the sound of the wisel of the pressure cooker in the kitchen shook her from her fantasyland .
Oops, the dal is ready. She rushed to check on the dish placed on the stove as he kept watching her, mesmerized with her movements. His phone rang and distracted his thoughts awhile.
The guests left after enjoying a wonderful dinner prepared by Ginni and her small team. Her own family. Everyone praised her especially the groom side. Then his pulses raised when the groom's mother stated that she would love to arrange Ginni to meet her sister's son Dev , who is fond of Punjabi delicacies. The guy is from Australia and will be attending the wedding the next day. He will be boarding the flight with his family that night itself. He loves indian culture, food and values. A very humble and simple guy.
Ginni would be the best choice for him. His family is rich and classy but they always adore simple girls . Dev never compared his status with anyone. A wonderful gentleman.
Ginni 's mum was delighted and approved at once. Ginni was silent. Didn't know how to react but she was fond of the groom's parents. If they are nice people then the guy has to be as well. She thought to herself. Maybe my life will change forever. Little did she realize that the twist of destiny was already knocking on her doors
Seconds later after hearing about the proposal
Adi walked away furiously as though someone crushed his heart a zillion times. Dev was his good friend and a good guy. I am not gonna allow the rishta to happen. He doesn't deserve Ginny.
His inner voice taunted him. That's coz she deserves u only, moron. Say na. U are just jealous.
He was furious and said to himself aloud. Oh shut up!! I am not jealous!!
To which every head turned towards him as the guests were about to take a leave at the entrance gate He felt embarrassed and instantly changed his statement. I mean i am not jealous of all the beautiful decorations and food in my sister's wedding.
The guests were still silent. They were confused like hell. Ginni moved towards the kitchen to complete her remaining work ignoring his foolish behavior. A**h***. Doesn't even realize what he's talking about. This one is a highly mentally disturbed case. I need to execute my plan fast. I am pretty sure he is gonna create hurdles in the proposal. He wouldn't want a rich guy to accept me, would he?. He just can't be happy. Sulky papaya long face. Just can't live peacefully and allow others to be in peace. Loser!
In Aditya's bedroom at 11pm
He rested his head on the fluffy blue pillow and wondered why was he feeling restless after dinner. Was it the food or the cook? Definitely it's the cook only. She's roasting my mind now. I need to execute my plan fast. I can't allow Dev to set his eyes on her. Well, she's beautiful. He might be drawn to her. His inner voice taunted.
So u admit she's pretty. Dude, u are the one drawn to her. All thanks to her dabba that she got onto ur nerves and made her way through your stomach with her good food and through Dev she is capturing ur heart with rage and jealousy. Soon she's going to knock out the senses of your male pride with her dressing tmrow. U know na, taiji gifted her pink saree as a token for the marvelous dishes she prepared.
Oh shut up!! He screamed in silent. That's what he was afraid of. First darji then tayaji and now taiyiji also. Slowly each member of his family was getting fond of the new intruder in his life and he was not liking it at all. On top of that if she's gonna get hitched to Dev, then she would defo make everyone dance on her tunes. No, i can't let that happen. First thing in the morning, i am gonna lock her in the storeroom before Dev and his family arrives. Moreover haldi will be only in the evening. Settle her business first. Kick her out.
The next morning
He skipped breakfast just to execute his devilish plan. On the other hand, Ginni was in Dev's dreamland that she forgot her plans of torturing Aditya, her greatest enemy of all time.
Her mum was pleased to see the saree. Stated would dress Ginni herself like a bride for the haldi function in the evening. Dev will be mesmerized to see her. Little did she realize that a pair of evil eyes were watching her darling daughter very closely with bad intentions.
In the kitchen
Aloo parothas and pudina chutney were ready to be served . She took a bite to taste the goodness of her dad's recipe . Yummy! Papa would be so proud. As she finished serving the family at the dining table, she walked towards her room which was situated behind the mansion at the servant quarters to get her saree ironed for the evening function. She wanted to be well dressed. Perhaps Dev was the one for her. Darji told lots of great stories about him. A down to earth and humble guy Just the life partner she wanted.
Suddenly, a hand caught her from behind and pushed her towards the mansion forcefully through the kitchen door and the hallway straight towards a dark room.
At the storeroom
She struggled hard to look at the intruder but couldn't as he wore a mask and full length black attire. Was he a robber. He pushed her towards the floor and locked the door. He left quietly.
She screamed for help banging on the door.
She was claustrophobic. Fear wrapped her mind and emotions that she felt suffocated. Struggling for fresh air. Babaji pls help me. Aditya!! How do i reach to him for help. Only he could help me. Wait a minute. Maybe he's the one who locked me in.! Oh Lord, why didn't i sense the danger ahead. Dev conquered my thoughts. He must have landed by now. Perhaps on the way. But I don't have a phone or his number. How would i call for help. She panicked. Dev was on the way. Will he be able to help her?? Will she die in the room?
An hour passed and no sign of Ginni. Her mum alarmed darji who became anxious and started a search mission in the mansion. Everyone looked out for her calling her name except for one happy soul who was seated at the dining table enjoying his English breakfast. Omelette with toast and black coffee. A treat for defeating the sarcastic woman.
Work was pending. Preparations needs to be done for evening function. Amber was upset and told his father. Why did u hire such an irresponsible person. I am firing her now. He instructed his wife to get another caterer on board immediately.
Darji objected firmly and stated she must be in danger. She is a responsible girl. Until and unless she is found, no other actions will be taken. The family was puzzled as to why the oldie was too protective about the poor woman who only runs a dabba. Something was defo amiss
The search mission continued for the next half hour and finally Taiji screamed in vain. Did anyone check the storeroom?? They rushed instantly as Adi shook his head in disbelief. My family should be awarded for being more intelligent than Sherlock Holmes.
She was found unconscious on the cold, hard marble floor of the dark room. Darji lifted her into his arms and rushed her towards the hallway with others running behind screaming to the servants. Get me a glass of water, quick!!
He lost his beloved DIL long back. He's not gonna lose another precious soul. She must be saved
Oh no! She's claustrophobic! Ginni's mother cried trying to wake her unconscious daughter. I lost my husband. I can't lose my daughter. Pls save her!!.
Standing at one corner, he did nothing but watched humans trying to rescue the distraught soul whom he wanted to parcel badly to heaven. Serves her right. It's good if she's gone. I could save Dev and get her dabba
Taiji screamed. She's not breathing. Her heart is just not beating. There's no pulse. Darji instructed amber. Call the doctor!!
Tayaji interrupted. It's no use. We need to give her first aid. Doctor will take time to arrive . Darji instructed aditya. U know CPR. U have been trained. Do it on her now and save her
He was silent and annoyed to the core. What! CPR!. No way!! I am not gonna kiss her.
Darji's instructions interrupted his thoughts.
What are u waiting for. Give her CPR. None of us know. Only u do. We can't let her die
Amber interrupted abruptly frustrating darji more.
How can he give her CPR. We are fixing his marriage with harnaz. She will get offended.
Darji sighed and thought to himself. My dumb wife died but left her dumber DNA replica bond sons with me on the planet.
He snapped at Amber, id***, CPR is artificial respiratory. Not kissing. Dirty mind.
Aditya get ur a** here now. Otherwise i will throw both u father and son out
Aditya refused and quickly walked out of the house with the family running behind him requesting to help Ginni
My daughter is gonna die, someone pls help , Ginni 's mum couldn't control her tears. If i knew CPR, i wouldn't be waiting for someone to help.
Aditya left. The family stood in silence waiting for the doctor. Taiyiji tried pressing her chest. None of them knew CPR. They had no choice but to wait for the physician. Well, they actually have their phones with them and could just googled it up. Unfortunately, their devastating minds just didn't work at the time of crisis. What to say, human nature.
Oh , God, she's dying. Taiji screamed. Ginni was not responding. Slowly her body was turning pale.
Seconds later,
Everyone were shocked to see the angry egostic arrogant young man running into the hallway and rushing forward to give the estranged soul the first aid of CPR. .
Apparently, as Aditya rode his bike just metres away from his home, he saw Dev and family in a taxi arriving at the porch. That's it. Dev knew CPR. Their flight landed early. He didn't expect the gentleman to be present at that crucial time.
As Dev found out about Ginni from the security guards, he instantly rushed towards the hallway but didn't realize Adi taking off before him to reach the unconscious girl.
He pressed his lips against hers welcoming its warm sensation. He knew it was difficult to resist. The sweetness and goodness of the aloo parothas she had for breakfast. The lips were yummy and he continued with the CPR sessions till she was conscious and his darji has to pull him away with others watching puzzled with his actions.
Enough now, get away. She is able to breathe. When told u to help, u ran away now not stopping at all. Give her space . Darji instructed firmly
As she struggled to sit, taiji patted her back and helped her to drink a glass of water. She looked at Dev and said. Thank u for saving my life. She thought the kind gentleman gave her the CPR.
Everyone was silent. Aditya already left to his room. They decided not to disclose to her that she was rescued by the arrogant dude she disliked. Infact told that Dev helped her. The latter nodded as he started liking Ginni.
In his room
He looked at his reflection in the mirror and touched his lips gently. Closed his eyes and felt the sensation of her lips . Ahh !! So sweet and chewy. Better than ur morning breakfast , his inner voice taunted.
But this time, he didn't say shut up. He was silent. Deep in thoughts. Was i really that jealous. That i saw Dev and rushed forward to give her the CPR before he could. Have i gone nuts. It was just a CPR. Not a kiss. Not like that. He stood watching himself in disbelief. His deeds were intolerable. An action of reflex that drew him to the woman he hated. CPR!!!!
At the haldi ceremony.
Clad in a pink saree, she looked marvelous as ever. Her glowing skin around her curvy waist was a sight of delight that two handsome young gentlemen were eyeing her silently throughout the function. Aditya and Dev. Both had similar thoughts in their minds .
Wished she fainted once again so i could get another chance of a CPR!
The end

By the way, i am anita and i reside in Malaysia.
Nice to meet u guys
Can leave ur comment after reading if u wish to
Sorry, didn't tag . Still new to the forum.
Tq for reading.
A jealousy track is required to bring Adi closer to Ginni. He is the one messing around with her. He's too arrogant. I just hope they don't turn him too toxic that it's gonna be difficult to accept him for Ginni. I hope they don't ruin their ML.
