Chapter 20:

Krisha's POV:

It had been four days since the incident, I was trying to initiate a conversation with Adith but he avoided me, I smiled at him whenever I saw him looking at me, but he would ignore me straight away.

Rudeness overload!

I just wanted to thank him for helping me, for being there for me in such a crucial situation but he wasn't giving me any rooms to at least start an conversation.

It was really difficult for me to understand him, because one second he was playing a lovely caring person but the other second he transform into an arrogant, stone hearted idiot. I was totally confused.

I did remember, later that night when I was suffering with severe stomach ache, he gave me medicines and left but after sometime he came to my room and kissed my head. After looking at me for good fifteen minutes he left my room, I was awake but pretended asleep.

My sixth sense told me it was love making my heart make several somersaults. But if it was love then why was he behaving so indifferently.

"You look so beautiful." Suddenly Urmila aunty kissed my cheek.

"You too aunty." I told and hugged her. "It had been twenty years, why didn't you come and see me? You have been away from paatima and our family. Not fair aunty. " I asked her worried.

"Because I was suffering from a deadly disease." She told me.

"What? God, are you okay? What are you suffering from aunty?" I asked her panicking.

"Love. " she said smiling.

"Beg your pardon." I asked her confused.

"Yes my dear... Love. It is the most hideous disease in the world. True love has no medicine and no cure. Once you are affected by love you can't fight it till death. You will keep loving that one person crazily with no other go." She told me smiling and I was too much exited to know her love story.

"You love uncle so much isn't it?" I asked holding her hand.

"I do. I still love him to the back of the moon and will keep loving him till my death.

Your uncle, he was a heart breaker, you know many girls were at the back of him but he didn't spare them a look. Initially he was rude and arrogant with me also. But you know Srini was a very sincere lover. From the moment he proposed me he was true and honest with me. Ofcourse he was a unromantic workaholic person but we love each other too much. " she said slightly blushing.

I teased her and then she spoke about Adith " We were happy, even though I was guilty for making my family go through hell, Srini made me so happy. It was worth my love. Later Adith happened.

My son, ohhooo Krisha. He is a replica of his dad in everything. The same rude and intelligent personality with a heart of a baby. Both my husband and son make an haughty facade but they were really harmless and sensitive from inside." Said Urmi aunty.

"Aunty, Adith is behaving so rudely with me. I'm trying to make him comfortable but he is always ignorant about my presence and treats me badly. Is there a reason behind him unlinking me?" I asked her straightly.

"Is that so...? Listen Krisha like I told you he is a very hard nut to crack just like his dad. But he don't mean anything he does. He pushes everyone away in this place because he feels this is the place where his dad was humiliated when we got married. He loves his dad too much, more than he loves me. He hurts you all, as a result you all will dislike him. Usually that's his strategy to push people. Well, I'm sorry on his behave dear. " she apologized. So that was the reason.

"Oh... No no aunty, please don't apologize. It's okay. But I must say. Your son have got a big ego, which weighs more than this earth." I told her frankly what I felt. I was glad that she behaved like a friend to me.

"Is it..! Okay then let's play with his ego for a while. " she told me winking.

"Aunty...?!" I asked her exited.

"Come on, I'm his mom." She told and call him.

"Hi mom, you called me." He asked her without looking at me.

"Krisha is also here. Why did you greet her?" she told him strictly.

Adith looked irritated and glared at me saying a "Hi Krisha."

Why that man was glaring at me? What did I do?

"You think I didn't notice you glaring at her Adi? Now apologize." She told him.

My eyes were out of my sockets, Adith and Apology?

"Why the hell should I apologize her? What are you trying to do mom. I came here because I thought you need some help. But you are playing with me mom." He yelled at her.

"You are raising your voice at me? At your mom? Have I gave birth to you going through all the physical cramps and mental pressure to see this day?" Her eyes watered making Adith guilty. Adith closed his face sighing while aunty looked at me with her glazed eyes and winked.

Drama queen aunty!

She was using her motherly power over her son. And that was superb, that's the best way to handle this Adith.

"Mom, I didn't want to yell at you. It just happened, please don't mind. " he kneeled in front of her and kissed her palms.

"You may grow old Adi, but you are still that same kid for me who comes running behind me only wearing a shorts with dripping nose crying 'momma... Lift me. Momma lift me.' And that small boy is yelling at me today." Aunty pretended crying.

I closed my mouth and controlled my laughter. Imagine the great Adith crying holding the pallu of his mom's Saree with dripping nose.

That was one sight...!

"Mom please." He pleaded his mom helplessly.

I was on cloud nine looking at Mr.ego in such a situation, the most greatest part was, he was facing it in front of me. How pity?

"What do you want me to do now mom?" He pleaded Urmila aunty.

"Krisha wants to have some chat, but no one is home. So you take her to a chat corner and buy her food." She told Adith.

I heart was jumping. After convincing Adith for sometime, he agreed to take me out.

I sat in the car and made myself comfortable. He glared at me and ignited the engine.

"Why are you irritating me like this women? Why can't you go by yourself. You are such an irritating specimen." He hissed at me.

And I remembered Aunty's words,
* He hurts you all, to make you all dislike him. Usually that's his strategy to push people.*

I would not be fooled this time with your rude words Mr.Ego.

"Take a left turn, there was a chat corner and they serve the best chats. Let's go there." I told with watering mouth.

The aroma of chat itself would drive us crazy.

"I'm scolding you but you are giving me directions. Do you have any shame?" He asked me again.

I smiled and told him " Hey... See. There is a parking. It's a very busy area luckily we got a parking. Thank god. " he gave me a weird look and parked the car.

So, finally I figured out a way to handle this man. 'Just ignore his words and go with the flow.'

"Come let's go." I called him.

"You go, I'll wait for you in the car. " he told me irritated. I frowned and pulled him out towards the chat corner.

"What are you doing? Don't make a scene Krisha." He warned me.

"You are making scene Mr.Adith Srinivas. " I told him back and we book took a table.

"You are insane." He told glaring at me. I was so used to his glare that it didn't matter to me anymore.

"What would you like to have mam? " asked the waiter, I knew him, I used to visit here often.

"Bhaiya, get me a vada pav please make it spicy, a raj kachori, dabeli, and pani poori." I placed my order.

"What do you want?" I asked Adith.

"You ordered everything for only you?" He asked me giving a weird look.

"Get him a channa samosa, we will order later. " I dismissed the waiter.

"What was that? You are humiliating me in front of that waiter." I told and glared at him for the first time.

"No... I mean... Ah... Leave it. " he told me with a small rare smile playing on his lips. I smiled at him and skimmed through the menu.

Soon my orders came and I started digging in, Adith was looking at me all the time " Why are you looking at me like this? Eat your food. " I told him and had a large bite from my vada pav.

"You have one big mouth." He commented. " Thanks for your information." I told him.

"How are you eating it? Ohhoo... You should mix channa and samosa together and eat. Like this." And I gave him a mouthful.

I went for my pain poori and dragged him along with me to the counter. "Krisha, I don't want. " he told me.

"Try one, you'll like it." I told and put a pani poori into his mouth. But his mouth was small than the poori making the water spill on his shirt.

He glared at me for the nth time " You can change it once we get home. Eat...." I told and turned back to the counter. He was totally confused and struggled to handle my this side.

I was a more monster when it comes to food and I wouldn't give a damn to anyone. That's Krisha.

The paani poori was too spicy for him to handle. Later I ordered Rabdi (an Indian sweet). We shared and and then came to our car.

"Don't you dare try to bring me here again. At least I will not come with you. You look so lean but how much you eat women? God!" He told and pulled on the drive.

"Don't you dare comment about my food Adith." I told him sternly.

"Oh... Really. Then I will. You look like a cycle but actually you are a bulldozer." He told me and laughed taking a tissue for him.

"Oh.., really. I didn't know you have dripping nose even now also, can I call aunty to wipe it off you face. " I said and bursted out with laugher.

His eyes and nose were dripping water because of the spicy food and I took advantage of it.

"Shut up women, you are not talking about that incident another time in your life. " he warned me.

"Why not? Call me a bulldozer, then I'll call you a nose dripper." I told him shurging my shoulder.

"Okay fine, we will not call each other with those names. Deal? " he asked me.

"Deal. That's like a good boy." I told and opened my door when he stopped in front of the house.

I turned to him and said "Thanks Adith. That was a great date, even though I did most of the talking. " and got down the car.

Wait, did I said date?

I turned towards him and saw him looking at me with that same rare smile and wiping the strain from his shirt making me smile and look the ground.

"Booooooo!" My heart stopped for a second when someone tried to scare me. Clutching my chest with my palms I looked at the intruder.

Vijay!

"You monkey, I'll not spare you today. " I yelled and ran after him into the house.

Precap:

I stood in front of my dad, making him look at me and said, "That's not the way to treat our guest dad. And I didn't expect this from you."
