The Claim

Chapter 11

"What about it"??

"The stars..they shine every night because ALLAH want them too .They always stay at their place every night and twinkle without a care in the world.The sky is always covering us with its huge arms .The air that roams around us whenever it wants too.The silence that has so many answers.The flowers sleeping silently at this hour." She explained in a low voice and Behram's gaze was setteled on her face as she was speaking without noticing his eyes on her.

"You don't look like the person who is deep " He said casually making her smile.

"I know.Most people don't realize how much I can think about the things that surround me" She smiled and he looked at her with a longing in his eyes

"I also think about the things that surrounds me" He put his hands in his pant pockets and Mahi unconsciously tightened her shawl around her when the cold air touched her body

"Really..things like what"??

"When you get up in the morning all confused,when you look at yourself in the mirror and then me as if to ask how you look in a particular dress..When you try to make new dishes for me but discard them when you don't feel the taste in them that you want me to taste.When you laugh,and your cheeks went up and your eyes become small and your face goes all cute.When you fight with me and stand your ground.When you prank me..When you blush..When you are thinking silently with a cute frown on your face.When you are with your cousins,you smile you mock them .When you cry ...when you smack their heads..when you leave my room in a hurry forgetting your bracelet behind..when you sing loudly in the car just to rile me up..when you fight with me for sleeping on the bed.."

He sighed curving both his lips in a thin line and Mahi eyes were set on his face listening to him in a deafning silence.He was a man of a few words,Mahi always knew that but he will think too much about her and so keenly that never crossed her mind.Her eyes were settled on his face as he looked outside the window on the dancing leaves of a tree with the passing air.

Stunned with his words ,she forgot to say a word and he smiled leaning towards her..His breath fanned her ear when he spoke in a husky voice.

"Kya dekh rahi hain ap??

(What are you looking at)

"Uh nothing" Mahi took a step back recovering from whatever trance she was in.

"Can I ask a question"?? Curiosity was killing her .Being human after all has its perks..Curiosity being one of them.

"Sure" He turned towards her fully and diverted his full concentration on her

"Where are your parents"??

Behram looked at her silently for a full minute and the expression on his face turned sour in a matter of minutes.

"Dead" !! He replied in a rough voice,his tone was enough to signal the end of any further discussion on the topic and she bit her lip.

"Its late you should sleep" He turned around walking to the door and went out of the study.unable to understand his sudden change in behavior Mahi shrugged her shoulders and went to the room after him.He was already in the bathroom changing when Mahi suddenly took the bed and smiled evilly at the fight that was coming.

Behram came out of the bathroom and glared at her.

"I am taking the bed tonight" He said like a child.

"No I am taking it" !

"I am"

"No I am "

"I am gonna take it" He said stubbornly and after a second he smiled devilishly at her,
