Rashi.....

Evening :

I helped mom in cooking , while I was setting plates and food on dinning table , I looked in a direction and saw Navneet coming towards table .

"Rashi " He called .

I left to kitchen immediately , ignoring him .

I herd Kabir and dad's voice from kitchen .

" Rashi "
"Have you kept salate , beta  " ?

" Yeah mom "

" Ohkay , come "
Mom said and I went out with her .

I took seat beside Kabir .

"Oh sit "
" I'm...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry chachi
(Aunty) "
Navneet apologised as his hand striked the full jug of water  , splitting it  around his chair .

" It's okay navneet , take some other chair , will clean it later "
Said mom to him .

He came and sat beside me  .

" There is some amount of water on those chairs too so ..I..."
Navneet started reasoning to everybody , pointing at 2 other chairs .

" Start food cautiously now "
Dad said sternly .

I felt Kabir's gaze on me  , I looked in his direction & looked down to my plate  .

He placed his palm on the back of my hand , under the table shocking me as this is the first time he touched me
(Except incident of that night 😜)

And pressed it a little in a fist  , as if assuring me , I felt it good , but it was giving me butterflies in my stomach .

I lifted my eyes , found everyone  busy with their food , then looked at him ,  he immediately looked at me , I nodded signaling him I'm fine , then took my hand from his grip because it was making my condition worse .

I found myself unable to concentrate on food , due to shyness  with  our hands entangled   .

He placed his hand back to himself and we completed dinner silently .
