The Lawyer In The Kitchen.

Chapter 13.

The window is quite, so is my phone.

I try calling him. He disconnects at the first ring.

Shit!

Did he get angry? Oh no!

But how can he be angry? He should not be angry. I am the one who should be angry! Shishir Mehrotra you have no right to be angry on this!

And how can he just go away. I rushed towards my window and just as I am about to open it there is a knock on my room door.

But that is not locked? Who is knocking?

"Suvarna" I heard my Uncle call out.

Why is Mamaji calling me?

My heart almost leaps out of my rib cage as right at that time my window goes 'rat tat tat.'

I cover my mouth with my palms, my heart threatening to stop working any moment.

What do I do now? Damn Shishir. Why does he have to create problems for me?

"Suvarna?"

Rat- tat- tat. Rat- tat- tat .Rat- tat- tat.

If Mamaji comes in he will hear it! And if I don't let him in he will keep knocking! Madman.

'Go now! Mamaji is here.'- send.

I rushed towards my door, hoping Mamaji does not push it open and enter.

Rat - tat- tat. Rat- tat-tat.

"Coming." I scream out. Maybe if I talk loudly Mamaji will not be able to hear that idiot knocking on my window.

"Mamaji! What happened?" I scream as I flung my door open.

Immediately I feel guilty as I see Mamaji's startled expression.

"Suvarna, why are you shouting? What happened?"

Rat-tat- tat..

Madman. I will strangle him with my pink pyjama's.

I steped out of my room closing the door behind me. Let him keep knocking all he wants to now!

I give a weak smile to Mama, not sure what to tell him.

Thankfully he lets it go and smiles back.

I heaved a sigh of relief. And then - see him!

Standing beside Mamaji looking very very pleased was Shishir Mehrotra.

Then who is knocking outside my window?

"All well Suvi?" The devil's voice is dipped in saccharine!

I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously? Why is he back? And who is outside my window?

"Suvarna get ready. You need to go out with Shishir." Mamaji's voice interrupts my silent fuming at Shishir.

Go out with him! Now? "Why Mamaji? Is everything all right?"

"Yes everything is fine. Just get ready. Don't keep the poor guy waiting."

What the hell! What trick is he upto?

"I am sleepy actually Shishir. So maybe tomorrow-"

I gape open mouthed as my Mamaji bursts out laughing. He winked- freaking winked at Shishir. " You were right Shishir"

Mamaji!

Before my jaw could align itself back to shutting my mouth close, I heard a giggle. I turned and saw my Mami giggling lightly at Mamaji's words.
