Neiyat's POV:

'Ririiiiiii...try this...Mumma helped me make them for you... I'm sure you will love them...Seeeeee Churmundo (GSB style sweet made of whole wheat flour, ghee and sugar). Saying she opened the box that probably Musky Bua sent for her. I saw she sat next to Aahir on the dining table and Aahir was smiling a little too much looking at Miss Perfectionist. She was about to feed Aahir the laddoo but I was quick...

'Ummmm... Sanchi I think you don't know...But Aahir is not too fond of sweets!!! He prefers spices more...but no worries...I'll eat them...after all Musky Bua made them!!!' saying I was about to take the box from her but Aahir quickly pulled the box from her saying...

'No ways ... These are mine!!!' and then he looked at Sanchi and said...
'Thank you Chichi...I really missed them a lot. Now don't even look at them they are all mine!!!' saying he began stuffing his mouth with the Churmundo and moaned at its taste while Sanchi smiled. And I was shocked!!!

Wasn't this the same Aahir who would shout about calories and health and what not!!! I was pissed.

'Shocking!!! I never saw Aahir eat sweets...He's a health freak!!! I mean I still remember he didn't even touch the waffles with chocolate cream which Neiyat made a few days ago right Nei??? ' Lavanya just spoke my mind and Aahir smiled saying..

'Oh these are made of whole wheat flour and palm sugar Luv... they are extremely healthy and full of protein because of the dry fruits Musky Aunty adds on to them unlike the waffles which are made of Wheat flour and the sugary sweet chocolate cream which is no good to your body!!! That's junk!!' he said and although it was a silly thing something broke inside me.

Junk??? He thinks I make junk???
His Chichi is a junkyard!!!
'Vaddi Aayi Chudail (Here she is witch!!!)' I rolled my eyes and said at once...

'Huhhh whatever...You alone didn't like it Aahir everyone at home loved it...Infact Aaryan ate a plate full of them...right Aaruuuuu...' I said sweetly and my forever favorite Aaryan jumped in saying...

'Yup...ofcourse...no one makes better waffles than Neiyat' and I smirked...

While Miss Perfectionist forever trying to be a sugarcoated doll spoke up...

'Heyyyy there's more stored? I love waffles!!!' but I looked at her and smiled extra sweety saying...

'Ohhhh...you see here people LOVE what I make!!! Specially when it comes to sweets..They think I'm the best...so you know what hard luck!!! Unfortunately it got emptied within a day...saddddd...' I said battling my eyelashes but my insides wanted to stuff the waffles in her nose and dunk her into the chocolate syrup.

I hate her!!!
Always trying to be this sugarcoated girl.

While D.K Daadu pulled her closer saying...
'Awww it's ok princess...I'm sure our Neiyat can make them again for you...Right my Lady JD?' Daadu asked and I walked into him and hugged him tighter pulling him towards me keeping that witch away from him.

'Anything for you Daadu...you ask for anything have I ever said a No???' I asked and he smiled while suddenly Sanchi said...

'Even I love you Naanu...so what if I can't make waffles' saying she looked down and I noticed Daadu pulled her closer too and I wanted to scratch her face.

This !!! This is exactly why I hate her from childhood.

Puppy face...button eyes but soul of a witch!!!
She wants to take away everyone from me. The minute she's here everyone starts doing 'Jai Jai Sanchi!!!'. Why is she here!!!

While suddenly Sanchi spoke up...
'Hey so when are the wedding preps beginning... have you guys done with the shopping??? I'm so excited woooow...I'll finally get to attend a Indian wedding after years!!! Heyyy by the way congrats Neiyat!!! So when are we meeting your man!!!' she said at once and suddenly everyone went silent.

All that happened yesterday began flashing infront of my eyes. My eyes filled with tears and I could see Aahir's eyes gauging me. I couldn't stand the silence, the eyes that were pitying me, I couldn't handle those, I'm not weak...so I bravely spoke up...

'If you are here for the wedding. Then that's not happening. It was a wrong decision. He was not the right one..'
I said while Sanchi was shocked, no one uttered a word at home but I could feel Aahir's eyes on me.

I turned in his direction but I didn't have the guts to meet his eyes and said...
'Sorry for everything!!!' and left from there.

I walked upstairs. I needed fresh breath of air so I went to the terrace. Stars were twinkling and moon was playing a peek a boo with the clouds. It was cold and I rubbed my forearms with my palms hugging my chest while I felt a Pashmina shawl cover me and I already knew who it was...I stood there in silence while he stood next to me and smiled...

After a few minutes he asked...
'You ok???' and I nodded.

We both kept gazing at the stars silently without uttering a word and I suddenly spoke up...
'I am sorry Aahir...' and he looked at me with a questionable expression asking 'Why?' and I smiled saying...

'Because now I know how much it hurts when someone breaks your heart!!!' I said and his lips parted slightly and he looked elsewhere. I continued...

'I am sorry Aahir..I was always selfish with you...I never tried to feel your pain...never realised how tough it is for you...I guess I have got the punishment for the same...I broke your heart and Ved broke me!!!' I said with eyes filled with tears. To which he looked at me and said...

'No Neiyat!!! He is a looser! He lost a gem like you...he never realised your worth! It's his loss!!! And yes your trust broke because you are a pure soul and we all take wrong decisions!!! We learn from it!' he said and softly squeezed my palm and I looked at him and passed a sad smile.

'Wellll now look...past is past.. sitting and crying upon a looser like Ved is never the Neiyat Kapoor thing!!! You are Daadu's Lady Gabbar Neiyat!!! I don't like to see these tears in your eyes buddy!!! Please wipe them off!' he said wiping my tears with his index fingers and I kept looking at him.

'Come let's eat Churmundo...I'm ready to share it with you' he said winking at me and I don't know why my heart skipped a beat.

'I hate Churmundo' I said at once and he pouted making my stomach grumble.

'Hmmmm how about ice cream... maybe some Mississippi Mud?' he asked and I had a bright smile on my lips and I nodded. He chuckled. He pulled my hand in his and he drove us to the nearby ice cream parlor and we bought a Mississippi Mud with a wafle cone for me and Aahir took a mint choco chip. He cracked silly jokes and I was giggling. He knows how to make me smile. Suddenly he said...

'Hmmm Neiyat...the chocolate' he said and I wondered what...he slowly passed me a tissue and said...
'Clean up...you are a little baby...' and I smiled and cleaned up my mouth. But the next minute he moved a little closer and bent to my face level and said...
'Ummmm the corner of your lips...' and I don't know why I could not concentrate on anything more than his mesmerizing brownish black eyes. And before I could think much his index finger cleaned up the little left over chocolate from the corner of my mouth. We kept looking at into each other's eyes and he suddenly said...

'I don't know if someone's ever said you but you have the most beautiful pair of russet brown eyes in your family' and I don't know why my stomach grumbled again. What is it??? Everytime he comes closer there is this stomach flipping happening!!! Gosh crazy!!!

He paid and came back with a few containers and I smiled seeing how much he cares for everyone. On the way he stopped at a donuts shop and purchased a box full of donuts too. He is really caring. He came back and offered me some donuts and I was looking at various flavours and I noticed there were all fancy flavours except the traditional glazed ones which were my personal favorites so i let go off.

We reached home and everyone kept asking where had we been and Aahir began distributing icecream scoops amongst everyone. We were having a great family time. Aahir is so perfect. He knew what most of them preferred may it be ice cream or donuts, like his mom liked the sugar coated donuts, Sonapie and Mypie weren't the donut babies...they loved ice-creams...Sonapie loved the strawberry flavoured ones, Mypie loved chocolate, my dad loved the almond flavoured donuts where as Daadu still preferred the classic vanilla... it was surprising to see him get everyone's favorites. He's a family msn indeed!!!

Just then Sanchi came and back hugged him and my smiled faded.

'Whatcha got for me' she whined like a little girl and then she digged the boxes and said... 'Not my types!!!' but then he opened another box and opened it infront of her and they were full of glazed donuts.

'How can I forget my Chichi's favorite...I waited for 20 mins till they baked them fresh for you sweetheart' he said and I was shocked. She pulled him into a tight hug and I didn't like it.

It was disturbing me somehow. I wasn't comfortable. I don't know why!!!

To add on he called her Sweetheart!!!
Sweetheart?? He only calls me Sweetheart!!!

Are they so close??? How do they know each other so well??? I had a hundreds questions in my head. My mother was trying to feed me her honeybrown flavoured donuts but I kept staring at Aahir who was feeding his 'ChiChi' with a hundred watt smile and she was jumping and moaning in his arms.

While Malu aunty asked...
'Ummmm Neiyat...you want Sanchi's donuts is it??? You seem to be reaaaaally interested in them!' while I looked elsewhere and said...

'Ummm No aunty...I'm full!!!' I said but Lavanya was quick.

'Yessss Amma (mother) ..she loves glazed donuts...the only donuts she eats' and Sanchi was quick...

'Ohhh wooow finally we like something in common...heyyy Neiyat...we can share it ..Aahir anyways brought me a dozen full of them...here she offered' and passed me the box while Aahir was busy cleaning her lips with the tissue. My lips pressed thin. And Aahir said ...

'Hey Neiyat... take some .. and sorry buddy I didn't know it's your favorite too...I thought only my Chichi ate them. They are the most boring flavoured ones but she likes them...' he said raising his shoulders and she slapped his chest. He hugged her more.

And they both giggled. I stood up and saying...

'Nope I already ate too much for the day. I need to take medicines and sleep!!!' I was about to leave...

But Miss Perfectionist took a step forward and said ..
'Come on Neiyat... take a bite atleast...we can share babe..there are lots!' she said with a smile and I noticed how Aahir was pulling her pony tail and she was hitting him.

'Its fine Sanchi...Neiyat Neiv Kapoor doesn't SHARE what's hers!!! You enjoy your donuts!' saying I walked into my room.

I was about to step into my room when I turned around and saw Aahir feeding her the donuts and she was making faces.

They seemed WAYYY too close to each other. How do they know each other so well? They stick to each other a LOT!
And I didn't like it!!!
They make me want to vomit!
Sick!
