Chapter 22: Chapter 22
NAINA KUMARI
Reaching home first thing I did. Go straight to Kunwar sa's room. As I have to find out who send me those chits and who send gifts to Kunwar is the same person or a different person?
And on top of that what can be in that?
I went inside his closet and searched everywhere but hadn't found it anywhere. Where did he keep it?
Suddenly a drawer caught my attention which was locked when I tried to open it. Maybe he has kept that box here. What's the treasure inside that box that he has to lock in. Huhh!!
I came out of his room before he came back from Office.
I changed myself into my usual dress and started preparing for dinner. As he told me this morning that he would never eat food made by me so today I Don't have to make much food.
Still, I make poha for the two of us. What if he realized his mistake and regret his deed? He would be starving. As he doesn't like to have food from outside. I noticed this in those days when he loves to eat homemade food.
So I begin to make a lite dish for us. When I had finished cooking my poha I heard the calling bell. So turning off the gas I went to open the door for him.
Opening the door I found him very tired. Ignoring me he stepped inside and go straight towards his room. As if I do not exist for him.
Shaking my head in disappointment I made my way to the kitchen after closing the main door. I filled one plat with poha for myself then I saw some more poha left on the pan.
So I fill one more plate for Kunwar sa. I know he won't eat it. Still, I can try my luck for once. There is no harm to try.
I place his plate on a tray along with a glass of water. Then went towards his room. He left his door wide open. As if the room was welcoming me to enter there with open arms.
However, that day won't come ever when he himself takes me with him to this room. To live the rest of our life together. My heart twisted just thinking about it.
With my wounded heart, I entered his room. But he was not in his bedroom. Maybe in the bathroom, to get freshen up. So I just kept the plat on his coffee table and left his room instant.
I was arranging my clothes in my wardrobe when I heard his voice.
"I had told you clearly in the morning that I would not eat the food made by you. Then why do you keep the food in my room?"
He said angrily and his eyes were shining with fury, stranding near the doorstep holding the plat of poha.
I was facing opposite him so he can't see my face. I immediately pulled my veil to cover my face and made myself ready to answer his question. I turned on my heels and face him.
"Yes, I know that you will not eat the food that has been made by me. But I also know that you do not like outside food much. That's why the food that I made for myself was given to you." I said in a calm tone but in a serious way.
"Now do what you like. If you want to eat it, you can eat it. If you don't want then you can leave it here." I told him in my language with a very soft tone
But what will come from his side I have no Idea.
In no time he just throws the plat on the floor making it break and the poha spread all over the floor.
Throwing it he walked off from there. I was still in shock thinking that what just happened some moments ago.
What made him this much angry? Me? My food? Or something else?
This man is unpredictable.
After cleaning the floor I went to the kitchen to put my plate in the fridge. As I hadn't had my dinner yet. How can I? When my husband is starving then how can food go down through my throat?
Placing the poha in the fridge I went to sleep with an empty stomach.
I was sleeping suddenly my sleep got disturbed by some commotion.
Fear crawls over my body thinking about that person who threatened me in the morning. Did he get success to enter inside here?
I take a sharp breath in and climb down from my bed then went out of my room holding a vase in my hand. I peeped outside and found the kitchen light on.
With cat steps, I walked towards the kitchen and peeped inside very carefully and attentively. And my gaze caught a particular person standing near the fridge.
Kunwar sa is eating frozen poha like a starving man. As if he is starving for seven days.
For a moment I really want to laugh at him. But seeing him in this condition I changed my mind. I turned on my heel and walked back to my room. But stopped in middle.
At first, he was showing arrogance and attitude. I will never eat food which is made by you. Then what happened now? Why he is eating my poha like a starving man?
Did you forget your own words in hunger? I should not go from here but go near him. That will be really fun to watch. Hehe!
Thinking that I made my way back to the kitchen where he was still eating like a starving man.
I cleared my throat to gain his attention. When he sensed my presence, instantly stopped eating further? The spoonful of poha was near his mouth and he was just opening his mouth to savor just at the perfect time I make my entry. Hehe!
"Didn't you had told me that the food prepared by me is like poison to you? Then how has it becomes eatable?"
I asked him and my voice is holding a tint of sarcasm.
He was gawking at me like a thief with an open mouth and his spoon was still in the air. Bear ing me he closed his mouth and put the spoon back in the box.
Placing the box on the kitchen slab he adjust himself cleaning his mouth with tissue then looked at me to face me but didn't utter any word.
Without exchanging any words I walked to his side. Seeing me coming in his direction his face turned pale and moves to leave the place.
But I stopped him by saying, "I know you're angry with me. But you don't have to take out your anger on food. It's not a good thing to sleep on an empty stomach. Let me reheat the poha for you. Then you can have it. Frozen poha may affect your health."
Hearing me he leans against the fridge folding his hands across his chest. I know his man-ego got hurt by getting caught red-handed to me.
What can I do in this matter? If he hadn't been so arrogant then, now he doesn't have had to fall into this situation. Making yourself a fun item, how you're feeling now, Kunwar Sa?
