Coffee Lover
Ashvin couldnt meet him eye to eye, he turned and walked away towards the biggest balcony, hands tucked in his pockets
Trisha was almost ready to "enter her world" shut the door and work on her research
Chirag had indeed visited at an unusual hour
She squirmed standing in the corridor leading to her bedroom
"Khaana khaaya?" he asked
She smiled for the first time in his house Ashvin noticed
Way way way way back there by the balcony... his eyes were really sharp
"I eat at 8" she said
"Can I get coffee?" "Konkan coffee?" Chirag smiled disarmingly
"I did not bring any coffee" she said sadly
Chirag was bummed he made her sad
"Umm.. how about you make the coffee this guy has in your own way?" he grinned
She walked into the big kitchen, and tried to find coffee powder
She couldnt bear to drink coffee so she wasnt drinking anything
There was nescafe instant and Bru instant where the cook had left it
"Setlle ho gaye?" Chirag asked hoping she would talk
"I have only one bag" she said
"We should go shopping we can get more bags" he joked
Not clothes... just bags
She smiled again...
She made the coffee quietly as Chirag admired how gorgeous she looked
"Us din ek haath jala tha abhi dono?" he asked
"I dont know to cook. I cook means I burn myself" she said softly
"Main bhi KHA sakta hoon" he reassured
She laughed
"That also I can do" she said struggling to speak fluent Hindi like him
She poured his coffee out in a big mug and pushed it across the white quartz counter
"Umm.. how is everything?" he asked
She nodded and stopped
"Busy?" he asked trying to talk
"I am going to ullal" she said
"Oh?" Chirag was shocked
"why?"
"Umm.." she didnt answer
"I have never been to Ullal" he said
"Its very beautiful. The beach is the best" she said longingly
Chirag was cute, short broad shoulders, glasses with plump cheeks, he looked affable
"Did you go everyday?" he asked
"Aanu... I mean my father has a restaurant OK?" she said
"OH? OK" Chirag teased
She realized he already knew all that and smiled sheepishly
"Its at the beach only" she waved her slender arms to prove it
"woww" he said
Not sure if he said that for the sea or for how mesmerized he was when she spoke
She told him about high and low tide and about the local festivals, and the popular words in Konkani
They talked for a good 47 minutes
"Will you bring Konkan coffee for me?" he asked leaving the kitchen
She nodded reluctantly... a piece of home? why? she thought bitterlyðŸ˜
She followed Chirag outAshvin was watching TV he barely nodded to Ashvin and waved to her and left😆
"Is there any coffee leftover?" asked Ashvin😳 as she turned into her corridor without paying him a second look
She paused and turned "No" she said softly
And went back to her room shut and bolt it...
