They sat on the dining table for lunch. Andre sat next to jerry with ria on his lap leaving a heart broken jigar . nilesh was quick enough to convince kinjal to sit next to him on his right but he got irritated when jigar took the seat on his left . The other ladies except baa were busy serving . Gopi came next to aditi and said 'i have made pasta for you. I dint know if you would like gujarati food' before aditi could reply rashi offered 'nahi gopi she loves theplas.she will finish it in no time '
jigar looked pleasently surprised so rashi s bitterness was reducing. They started having lunch when nilesh dropped a spoon and when jigar asked him to pick it up nilesh fumed 'i am the guest you would ask me to do that'
jigar bent to pick up the spoon and his blood boiled to see nilesh and kinjal playing footsie under the table. Shameless people. Jigar straightened up and asked everyone 'do you know what the most romantic thing in the world is??'
andre :'loving someone but letting them go? '
jigar replied in the negative.
Ahem :'falling in love with someone whom you hate 'he gave a wicked grin and gopi blushed.
Jigar still shook his head when nilesh answered cheekily 'playing footsie under the dinner table ?' before jigar could answer gaurav asked 'what is footsie uncle ? Is it a game like foot ball? '
rashi and gopi glared at nilesh and he answered 'yes its a different name for football in paris'
'why do you play it under the dining table?'aditi questioned'we always played it in big parks na' before jerry would kill him he replied 'i made a mistake . I meant to say fuseball which you play on a table' the stupid excuse was enough for the kids.
Oh yes he had made a mistake jigar grinned. 'you all are wrong. The most romantic thing is climbing a pipe at midnight to reach your loved one and sing songs to woo them ' nilesh who was drinking water started coughing and jigar patted his back and said 'easy . Or everyone will think you were the one serenading kinjal.
If looks could kill nilesh would have been dead the way rashi was glaring at him made jigar s heart swell with happiness. Rashi dint like kinjal and would make sure 'neal' stayed away from kinjal .
Once everyone was done with lunch they sat in the living room while gopi served ice cream to them and then the ladies sat for lunch. The kids managed to finish their ice cream in no time and wanted second servings so ahem offered to get it . Jigar sat next to rashi and started singing 'meri saason mein basa hai tera hi ek naam teri yaad humsafar subah shaam 'nilesh was sweating now he had not told jerry yet about his feelings for kinjal and when he had told andre he was discouraged saying jerry would never like it. This jigar would get him into trouble now.
Jigar started singing do dil mil rahe hain and looked rashi in her eyes , rashi was lost and in the nervousness she dropped her bowl of ice cream on herself . Jigar answered 'the bath room is upstairs '
rashi climbed the stairs her heart beating 100 times in a minute. She knew jigar would follow. She was in the bathroom and in no time she heard the bedroom door close.
She turned to see him standing with his arms open she went running and hugged him tight. All of a sudden he scooped her off her feet and placed her on the bed. She closed her eyes and she knew if this continued she would cry long and hard and tell him all the secrets she had guarded fiercely. The freedom of intimacy was a beautiful gift. She treasured it cherished it and dint take it for granted. She wrapped her arms around him there were no doubts there were no questions no inhibitions . The entire week she had thought about nothing else . Its foolish. Its dangerous. Nothing good can ever come of this she had thought but when she was with him she was like a possessed woman.
