The Seducing Thief - Page 6

Khushi was fidgeting with her mobile. She was feeling uncomfortable here. She had come to Delhi from Lucknow to live at her cousin's place and study in college.

She could well understand that Payal was not sleeping.

She had been coming in every vacation here. But this time Payal avoided her like a boring aunt.

She was avoiding Khushi.

For the first time Payal didn't introduce any of her friends to Khushi.

She didn't speak to her with same affection like before.

Even Payal's attitude has changed a lot.

She did not understand what has happened to Payal.

Especially last night, she knew there was a thief in the garden and Payal was not in her bed. She saw Payal wearing a western outfit. When she enquired, Payal told her to sleep. But Khushi wanted to call buaji and Payal almost shouted on her and even said she won't allow Khushi to live in her room anymore and Payal changed to her sleeping clothes and came to sleep.

Khushi's POV

What has happened to jiji??? I know people go to college..learns fashion. I know she is a working woman now.

But hai Devi Maiyya!! This much change!!! And someone was following that day from mandir to home. But Payal was least bothered with that follower and was more bothered with my presence. Ho kya raha hai(what the hell is happening) ???

Should I ask buaji??

No..no..jiji threatened me that she will send me back to Lucknow.

Moreover..why was she wearing so skimpy outfits so late night??

That was not true. Why would she be trying out them if she will not wear them ever in work??

Wait..jiji is talking to someone!!!

Khushi went near the door and tried to listen Payal's conversation.

She could hear few words!!!

Payal: not at all..she will tell buaji.

--

Payal: really??

--

Payal: so sweet!!!

--

Payal: you want to ??

--

Payal: never mind..no chance!!

--

Payal: NO!! a jerk is she!!

--

Payal: ok..thanks Bhai

--

Khushi: ok..someone like brother!! Pheww!!! Then it is fine!! I was suspicious!!

Whereas in Raizada Mansion,

Akash in phone: what?? Your cousin!!

Payal: yes Akash. Trust me.

Akash: tell her about us then.

Payal: not at all..she will tell buaji.

Akash: wait..Bhai has some plans.

Payal: really??

Arnav and Akash on phone (loudspeaker)

Arnav: I will take care of your cousin.

Payal: so sweet!!!

Arnav: she is 18+? I mean okay??

Payal: you want to ??

Arnav: why not? If I had to be at your place..why not enjoy??

Payal: never mind..no chance!!

Arnav: c'mon.which 18+ isn't interested in me??

Akash: bhai..what are you doing? You are planning for us or yourself?

Arnav: is she good in all these?? Knows something at least?

Payal: NO!! a jerk is she!!

Arnav: WHAT THE !!

Akash: so Bhai you are going to sleep beside her cousin today for us!!

Arnav: ok..for friendship and kinship I will do!!

Payal: ok..thanks Bhai. And hey time?

Arnav: you two decide

Payal: akash..when we will go out??

Akash: keep it 11 then. Hope your kid sleeps??

Payal: yeah..she sleeps at 10!!

Arnav: what the!!!

Payal: that's the!! Ok..so Bhai..will you be wearing a wig?

Arnav: shut up..I am not that helpful!!

Payal: ok!! Enough kidding..cya!!

*****

The whole day went upsetting Khushi.

Payal as usual had continued misbehaving with Khushi in every trivial matter.

Where as in RM someone was highly irritated for agreeing on a stupid idea which would have no benefits!!

Yes, Arnav Singh Raizada was doing that for Akash but he also could not digest the fact that it will be simply a loss of time and woman for him!!

Well, he had calculated about time and woman..but he had forgot to calculate about his heart.

Will that be not in a loss??

Or will he gain victory on someone's heart??

Or both??

Payal checked her watch

9 p.m.

Just one more hour for Khushi to go to sleep..

And add another for her enjoyment and pleasure.

Payal hastily had her dinner. It was not missed out by Khushi. But she preferred to keep quiet. Sometimes peace is better than pleasure.

Payal sat down with "50 Shades of Grey" on the bed.

Khushi being the curious cat asked her sheepishly

" Jiji is it a love story?"

Payal threw the book aside and answered her with annoyance

"it's none of your business behen-ji"

Khushi didn't ask anymore questions.

The clock struck 10 and Khushi thought to go to sleep.

She tried to sleep but sleep was not coming in her eyes..

Everytime she closed her eyes..tears dropped silently.

She had been here since Monday and Payal had been continuously hurting her.
