Author POV
"Ye Raha aap dono ka kamra" Nandini said letting abhiraj and abhinav inside,
Abhinav roamed his eyes inside the whole room, there was a big bed in between and a small couch on the right side and left side had windows and a small table
Walls were painted pink in colour and furniture was woody brown to be seen
"Kafi sunder kamra hai" Abhinav exclaimed with pretty views in his eyes,
Nandini smiled and thanked him
"Aap dono vishram kar lijiye" Nandini said
"Haan, dhanywaad Nandini ji " Abhinav replied while giving his warm smile
Nodding her head, nandini turned to go outside but her sight caught abhiraj staring at her,
As her gaze met with his, his eyes quickly broke the gaze and looked down
Nandini also looked down feeling awkward and walked away closing the door behind
Abhiraj POV
We entered inside the room and I looked around, it was pretty comfortable room
And had enough space for both of us
As my eyes were roaming to catch the surroundings, My sight caught nandini, who was talking to abhinav
Unknowingly, A feeling of looking at her filled me and I eyed her silently
Her wavy uncombed hairs were now secured with clutcher, A black mole could be seen on her cheek near her ear,
Black string on her neck and silver nose pin in her nose was enhancing her side view
I was lost in staring at her, that I didn't noticed her looking at me
I immediately looked at ground and she walked by me looking down too, maybe caught me
I locked the door from inside and turned around to see abhinav lying on bed while stretching his arms and mumbling "abh aaram milega"
"Tumne aur sarpanch ji ne kya baate ki?" I asked, sitting next to him on bed
"Mene unhe btaya ki ham yaha per kese photography karna chahte hai or is se unhe kya faida hoga" Abhinav replied while keeping his head on his palm and his elbow rested on the bed, looking at me
"Sarpanch ji Maan Gaye?" I asked further
"Haan per vo chahte hai ki ham kisi bhi villager ke livelihood me interrupt nah kare" Abhinav replied in my understanding of words
Yes, As an man, who spent three years of his life in foreign for work and studies, I was quite bad with Hindi, I knew Hindi pretty well but I couldn't understand tough words of sudh Hindi,
That's why I usually prefer to stay silent when there is conversation with bheem chacha or sarpanch ji, as I know I might won't be able to understand them
It will also be abhinav who will help me to have conversation with people here,
As he is good with Hindi because he was left in our home with parents when I was out of India,
I just returned to India two weeks ago
My parents and him get along with me for few Hindi words and English words
"Ohh, that's really reasonable" I replied to abhinav, who hummed in response
We heard a knock on door, I stood up and opened door to find Sanju bhaiya standing there with our bags in his hands, I helped him to keep our bags in our room,
After talking for a while with abhinav, we both drifted to sleep feeling tired
Author POV
Evening 7pm
"Virat, uper kamre se dono bhaiyo ko bula lo, khanna taiyaar hone wala hai" saraswati asked virat who was sitting on chaarpai in the aangan of the house with sarpanch to consult about few paper works
"Jii maa, abhi jata hu" he replied standing up and making his steps upstairs,
While nandini entered inside the house with an bowl in her hands and handed it to Saraswati quickly
"Kamla Chachi bula Rahi hai aapko, sangeet ke liye, aap jao
Me aur bhabhi khanna bana lenge" Nandini said assuring saraswati
Who smiled and setting her pallu on her head, she exited the house
Nandini went to chullah and sat with Anushka, who was stirring the curry
"Ho gayi taiyaar sabji" Anushka said while sighing in tiredness and took cloth to pick up the utensil of curry from chulah keeping it aside
Nandini sat on her place and started rolling the dough in perfect Circle to make roti
She looked towards the stairs to see abhiraj and abhinav coming downstairs with abhinav's hair messed up and abhiraj well-dressed
"Aaiye, bhai sahab, khanna taiyaar ho gaya hai" anushka said while setting the plates on the carpet in the aangan
Abhinav yawned and firstly went washroom to wash his face
Abhiraj thanked anushka and sat on his place
Soon, anushka served the food into their plates
ABHIRAJ pov
I sat on my place and soon, the food was served
I saw the same man who called us sitting beside me, He was muscular, slightly short than me and had an dominant aura
"Ham virat" He said with a authoritative smile and awkwardness grew in me
"Ji, hamara naam abhiraj" I replied back with a small smile,
A weird sensation filled me inside, where the hell did this abhinav went
Before, I could proceed to think, Abhinav came and sat across me to have his food
"Namaste bhaiya" He wished Virat, who nodded and they starting talking to each other
Unable to be interested in their conversation, I ate my food, The delicious aroma filled my nose and I took the first bite
The food was amazing, It had perfect mixture of species in the curry and softness in chapati
I got engrossed in eating my food,but my sight for once, looked up from my plate to see her sitting beside chullah, cooking
She blew in the chullah to keep the fire lightened
Smoke fell on her face, causing her to close her eyes with the motion and forced her body away a little
I admired her struggling to keep her strands of hairs behind her ears and the flour on her cheeks made me chuckle a little
Her hairs still didn't stopped to annoy her, she frowned her eyebrows in anger and glared at the strands of her hairs that fell infront of her eyes and an smile formed on my lips
I remained admiring her face but was caught off guard when I heard a someone clearing their throat
I looked at abhinav who coughed and he signalled his eyes towards my right
Turning my head to look at virat, who was staring straight into my eyes with scowl on his face
My eyes quickly trailed to the plate again eating the morsel slowly, The realisation hit me, I was looking at nandini for so long like an idiot
And I felt his stern gaze following my actions before he shook his head and started having the food
At night, 10 pm
Author POV
"Aap nandini ji ko dekh rahe the" Abhinav said while crossing his hand on his chest while abhiraj kept denying the fact
"Esa nahi hai abhinav" abhiraj replied annoyingly while covering himself with duvet
Abhinav just sighed and saying "Haan vo toh Virat bhaiya ke muh se hi dikh raha tha, If you did something like this again, he will punch you on face" Abhinav also covered himself with blanket whole laying on bed
"We will see about that, I'm sleepy again, let's just sleep" Abhiraj replied and closed his eyes earning an punch on his forearm by abhinav, He sighed
Soon abhinav was embraced by sleep
Abhiraj POV
It was midnight, I was unable to sleep, as I already slept in afternoon
This was true, I was staring at her but I didn't realised why
If abhinav will encounter this again , he will surely tell parents about nandini, which I don't want
I should focus on my actions
