After Kaka and Pia left for wedding....

7.30 am

Watchman - " Rajveer beta,
Main Kishan ko boldunga bhi ki Kal sham tak jeep ko ready karvake Dede..."

He said keeping the Jeep keys in his pocket ..saluting at Rajveer proudly...

Rajveer - " Thanks Kaka.. " answering shortly with his signature smile, he walked forward thinking where his bike was parked...as it has been a long time it was taken out for a ride....

He was crossing the narrow walkers street, assigned for apartment peeps, his eyes fell on the lady with a black dupatta on...goggles hiding those pretty eyes...
And changed his direction thinking randomly about something....

Reaching her, he tapped his foot asking for the little attention as the lady was deeply engrossed in cursing her scooty which was having a starting trouble...

She turned graciously, to know who the hell on the earth came to help her, that too in this busy hour when everyone is busy in helping themselves to get into their working nest....morning workoholic vibes are on air...

" Aap???... "
She exclaimed... sidelining her feets which were turning into sore due to cribbing of the vehicle....

Rajveer taking the charge of her scooty, kicked it's mind, and turned the accelerator,
" It's working... "
He uttered... without looking at her, concentrating purely on the sound of the third person....the Jupiter....

" Iski zaroorat nahi thi..."
She tried to explain...that she is still capable of handling her things....

Rajveer pointing at the scooty,
" Zaroorat tumhe nahi mujhe he Naina..."
He said looking into her eyes, which was hidden behind that pretty mask...

Naina - " Matlab ??..."
She asked not knowing what's the exact matter...

Rajveer - " I'm running late. If you don't mind Kya tum mujhe main road Tak chod sakti ho ???..."
He asked taking out his phone, which started to play a violine tune...
( Surely, Rajveer choosed a better ringtone for it, than Naina..👻 )

Naina in a confused state,
" Sure. "

She took the driver seat, as "her Ranveer" was busy in giving orders to his Juniors sitting on the back seat in a loud tone...
Of course keeping his hands on the back handler, and a bag fitted between their heated bodies....

After reaching the main road, her scooty took a 'right turn' with both of them on board starting a journey towards the headquarters of life... as the driver thought to drop the passenger to his place.....

****************************

After having his private session in the washroom, he came out with a glow on face as if Fair n Handsome company going to cast him for the next add shoot....
Wiping those water drops settled on his eyebrows, and slightly shaved sexy beard he stood like a statue with his ears forwarded upwards.... competing with antenna....

Chiming of cutleries caught his attention, and his eyes automatically moved towards the clock whivb showed past ten...
Curiously he moved towards the kitchen to see the angle struggling with masala bottles, with a few hairstrands disturbing her tasks,
Minimal lights guiding her work....

Rajveer - " Tum soyi nahi...."
He asked startling her....to be precise breaking of a nanha amchoor bottle...which he caught on time....

She hopped aside to save herself from this sudden heart attack, and saw him for a second to make herself double sure that it's only him, ' her new friend ' and ' her Bhaiyya's Veeru '....

Naina keeping her hand on heart,
" Nahiii...woh bottle girgaya..."
Whispered slowly, making a guilty puppy face...

Keeping the bottle aside, he noticed her aura turning into a scared one....and thought to calm her down....
" maine pakad toh liya.... Tumhe koyi help chahiye???.."

He asks in a soft tone...letting her long eyelashes flutter up and down, being confused with the fact that her mind still wants the help from him along with her heart which has learnt to beat in his presence....in a slow pace....

As the air between them stayed silent, his eyes keenly examined the whole platform nicely decorated with veggies and green leaves, not leaving a single inch for another one...
Better to say the whole fridge was unpacked on it, as if it is bichda Bhai of vegetable market....

Rajveer scratching his head, with his eyeballs tuned to left corner,
" Tum bana Kya rahi??..."

Naina - " khana !!!. "
She said doubting on her own work...picking up the pudeena....

Rajveer - " in subse banavogi ??..."
He started counting the things kept infront of him...

Naina - " Nahii...I mean haan...
Maine socha Baigan ka bharta banavun... Roti ke saath... Aap khaavoge na??..."
She asked turning to him, with requesting expression...

Rajveer - " Kyun nahi... lekin tum bana hi kyun rahi...
Bahar se mangwa leti... Humesha toh yahi chalta he... "
He smartly reminded her their usual routine to her, not wanting to broke her heart either...

Naina with a excited yet worried tone,
" Bahar weather dekha he aapne...toofan aisa he ki subko udake leke jaayegi...ismein agar hum order karenge, toh delivery boys joh he woh bhi toh insaan he.. aayenge kaise is time mein...isasse achcha ki main hi kuch banadun.... "

She uttered in one breath letting Rajveer too think about this important matter... afterall every youngster must think like Naina....
She is such a sweet girl...with brain functioning properly, not at all like his Yaar Naveen...
She is different....

Naina forwarding her hand,
" Woh carrot dijiye... "

Rajveer - " main chop kardun ??.."
He took the knife in a royal style posing like a macheline chef....and started his work soon by chopping the whole caroot in a perfect cube size...within a minute...

Naina with her mouth opened for makhkis to enter it, quitely surprised at this magical show,
" yeh sub... "

Rajveer got scared for a second,
" Kyun?? Aise nahi karna tha??
Long cut karna hota he???..."
He showed her another demo...cutting another one into long slices....

Naina leaning on the counter, asked in flow,
" WTF... Aapne yeh sub seekha kaha he??
Bhaiyya ko toh knife pakadne nahi aati ??..."

Rajveer rotated the knife like a pro, and winked at her,
" Isko talent bolte he..."
He answered shortly....as his long answer would lead them to any disasters....

She unconsciously blushed at his facial expression, which is looking too intimidating, and hid her face from him, indulging herself in munching the carrots....

Rajveer picking up the Baigan which is his next captive,
" Ab isko kardun ??...cubes??
Long one? Round ?? Kaise ?? "

Naina - " isko nahin karna..woh capsicum, aloo tomato beans in subko chota chota Wala karo....woh peas bhi dho dena" taking a pause,

"dho dijiye..."

They still didn't cross the line of just friends!!!

Rajveer took a vessel to clean up all the veggies and began to murder all of them in one go....with a Tak Tak sound...

After 10 min

Rajveer with a grin, showed her systematically bedridden veggies,
" Hogaya...
Ab next kisko halaal karna he??? "
He asked enthusiastically...and witnessed her making a face holding a half burnt Baigan...

Rajveer standing just behind her, dashing her back,
" Kyaa hua??..... Isko chop karna tha??..."

Naina lifting the Baigan with a frown,
" Zyada jal Gaya... " showed the light brown patches on its skin...in some places....

He once saw the Baigan which looked too heart brokening to him as it's color changed into something that's inappreciable... and then moved towards her face, eyes automatically got caged in her eyes which told it's innocent than the one in her hand... afterall it's not her fault..

Rajveer taking that thing from her,
" It's okay Naina.. ho jaata he kabhi...dekhoo yeh poora bhi na jala...we can use this one..
Abhi yeh bolo ki aage kyaa karna he???..."

Naina wiped her invisible tears,
" Iske skin joh he...usko nikaloo dheere... Aur pan mein daaloo...."

Rajveer rubbed his hand, hopping in mind that the world will appreciate him, for preparing such a yummy food....
It looks so delicious, he said to himself looking at the neatly chopped colorful veggies....

And this Baigan is a bit ugly but still he could make something out of it...
His brain came to his rescue....

Abeee, khana tu nahi Naina banarahi...You are just helping her.....Be in your limits...

They kept the Baigan neatly inside a vessel and dipped their hand in peeling off bechara baigan's cloth...

Naina - " Doesn't it look a little creepy... Jaise ki veggie nahi yeh koyi meat ka part he....eeewww...."
She made a face closing her eyes a little still continuing her work....

Rajveer - " Tum pure veg ho na ???...."
He asked her diverting her attension mentally laughing at her expressions....

Naina - " Yupp..." then turning towards him,

" Aap ??..."
She raised her right eyebrow, requestioning him....

Rajveer - " Main veg khata hu..."
He stopped as a smile spilled in her lips ...then continued,

" Sirf Weekdays aur weekends mein nonveg try karta hu.. except Friday ..."
uttering these words he turned to see Naina's face....

She was like zombified with this new revealation....
Her pupils were ready to jump out of the cell and heart was almost pulled a break....

This can't be true...
Aise kaise yeh!!!!

Rajveer laughed out loudly making fun of her shocked face.....
She looked at him not getting what exactly going on with her....

Rajveer raising his hands, still grinning badly,
" I'm sorry Naina...
Main mazak kar raha tha... I know that you are a hardcore veggie lover..."

Naina - " Matlab aap...."
She still eyed on him not understanding whether to believe him or ???
Or what???

Rajveer - " I love omlet aur egg bhurji...." shaking his head,
" Bus aur kuch na khata.... Eggetarian hu..."
He moved his tongue in mouth shaping as if eating a choco out of habbit....

Naina - " Hawwww!!!
Matlab aap aaye din bechare chicks ko maarte rehte ho???...."
She directly filed a complaint against him the next moment....

Rajveer - " Come on Naina... Woh eggs shape bhi nahinle chuke hote tab tak....
Agar honge bhi toh sochoo tumhare ird gird log nahi chickens hote....
Insaaan nahi...
We are just following the food chain... School mein toh padha hoga na tumne...."

He tried to put the simple yet most discussed topic in her little pees like brain, about his povs... Not forcing her to think just the way he does...
There will be difference of opinions among two beings....it depends on us how we take it and also how we present it....

And so was Rajveer... eagerly waited for her reaction.....
Would she be angry at his baseless ( as per the Vegans laws ) points!!!
Or she will ignore him like she did in earlier days...
How this healthy two sided conversation will flow between them.....
That was the question sat inside his mind....

He wanted her to open up infront him...
Talk freely or else atleast let herself give one more chance to lead a life she dreamt of living before Abhimanyu came into her life....
Before Rajveer stepped into her life....

The tick taks of the clock was audiable in the space...

Naina breaking the silence or may say breaking her shell built around her,
" I love chicks... I hope they would be colorful agar aapne unko khaye nahi hote...."
She tried to tease him with few giggles escaping her lips....

He was much surprised with her sudden changed aura....
With that genuine smile, she passed onto him.... He felt his hardwork was going to get it's reward soon...

She sometimes behaves like Naveen, creating an drama out of nothing...
At the end making small small things into a bigger enjoyable one....
He thought....

When we start to like someone, our mind subconsciously starts calculating what and all similarities that are common among us... most importantly what the person have that will remind us of our dear ones....

And Rajveer was slowly sinking in her...
Undoubtedly seeing his best friend's shadown in her....
( who is still alive somewhere on the earth this time 🤭)

Their knuckles brushed as the Baigan allowed them to perform a romantic work around it.... Naina removed her hand instantly, and asked him to put the naked Baigan on the frying pan...
Like an obedient student Rajveer did all the things she asked him to do....from pouring the chopped veggies in the pan to passing her spice boxes ...

Naina - " woh chilly powder dijiye na.. "
She forwarded her hand....

Rajveer - " Namak daaldun ???..."
He asked in return passing her the box...

Naina - " Baadmein daalein??? Zyada hogaya toh ???..."
She replied with her eyes concentrated on the pan...

Rajveer - " Aur veggies kaatdun main??
Cucumber bhi he fridge mein !!!..."
He asked turning towards the fridge...

Naina - " carrot pyaas capsicum chilly tomato bindi beans....itna kuch toh hogaya....
Bus kaafi he... Warna salad banega na... "
She again laughed counting the veggies, getting stirred with pride...

Rajveer getting a spoon to taste,
" Baigan bhi toh hd...."

Naina - " Aree buddhu... Baigan ke bharte mein main ingredient hota he bhaigan...
Woh uncounted hoke bhi counted rehta he..."

Rajveer excitedly,
" Chak ke dekhun?!?..."

Naina - " Do minute... Boil toh hone dooo.... dijiyee...."
She again corrected her Grammer ..

He looked at the clock waiting for the clock to go merry around twice.... overwhelmed like a school kid...

After three minutes....

" Aaaahhhhhhh
Yuckkkkkkk....."

" WTH... Kyaa he yeh...."

" Yeh veggies..."

" Aur yeh itna theekh kyun he???..."

" Kadva bhi he..."

God knows who said these lines between them....

But the thing writer knew all is the food turned into a super cool disaster...

Rajveer - "it's okay Rajveer... everything gonna be right... Yeh Tera first time tha...."
He muttered to himself....calming down his taste buds...

Reciting his name,
Naina - " It's okay Rajveer.... We will prepare Maggie now.... Mera bhi first time tha .."
She said proudly...

Rajveer - " What do you mean???
Tumhe khana banana nahi aata???..."

Naina - " nahi aata...bilkul bhi nahi aata... Don't worry I'm good with Maggie...

Aap firse chop karoo veggies... We will prepare ma...."
She went on with a bang leaving a open mouse insaan behind...

Rajveer - " Fir tumne Baigan ka bharta...yeh sub banana..."
He asked to confirm his doubts ..

Naina - " Mujhe banane ka man hua toh socha bananlun... Fir aap bhi aagaye na.. help karne... Aapko toh sub aata he...
Joh aapne kaha main daalti gayi..."

Rajveer cutting her words,
" Maine kaha?...."

Naina - " veggies chop Karne kisne kaha??? Aap khud karte Gaye... Maine socha yeh sub daalte honge usmein...

Fir aapne masala ke dibba Bahar nikala.toh socha woh bhi add karna...."
She clearly showed what went on infront of his eyes...

Rajveer - " Ek minute.... Ek minute...
Matlab tumhe kuch bhi nahi banane aata ??... "

Naina - " Nahii... Aapko aata he na... isiluye main aapke action ko follow karti gayi..."
She answered calmly.... not at all offended by his words... as this cooking time turned something sweet to her...

She felt nice to cook...with him...!!!!

Rajveer - " Tumko kisne kaha ki mujje khana pakana aata he???..."

Naina - " Kaka chef he na...."

Rajveer - " Main Kaka nahi Rajveer hoon aur Naveen ki kasam mujhe cooking ka C Tak nahi aata...."
He raised his voice for the first time.... in her presence...

And the next moment he regretted..
How can he commit such a sin!!!

He didn't even opened his mouth when she made him stand inside the changing room with ladies clothes......
( His ones were kidnapped by Naina 🤭 )

But now!!!
What the f* you have done Shekhavat 🤦

Naina - " Lekin you know the C...."
She whispered....

Rajveer - " Kyaa ??..."
He asked didn't getting her words...

Naina - " the 'C '
You know that right... Chopping...."
She whispered again....

They saw each other's eyes briefly before they burst into laughing....

Rajveer controlling his heart which was smiling after so many days,
" Naina... Ab khaayenge kyaa???
Yeb humara so called Baigan ka bharta suchmein barta hogaya he...."

Naina held his hand for support,
" The savior... Maggie he na...

Aap chop kardoo...." saying this she handovered him few veggies along with a knife.... not again falling in laughter pool...

Rajveer looking at her smile,.
" Naveen.... I did it..."
He muttered to himself, for the second step towards the victory...
