Chapter 14: Chapter 14
Abeer and Khushi enjoyed a lot eating their dinner in the moonlight in each other's company. Khushi made a quick note in her mind that from the next time whenever there would be a power cut in her apartment instead of hiding herself under her blanket in her bedroom, She would come out here in the balcony, lit up the candles and enjoy this beautiful view in the moonlight that will help her to fight with her fear and relaxing her mind and body too.
After dinner, Abeer put all the utensils in the sink and get a glass of water for himself to drink. He was leaving the kitchen when an idea came in his mind that why not he washed those utensils too instead of leaving them here for Khushi. Definitely after having a hectic schedule she must be really tired .
Thinking this Abeer started trying to wash those utensils silently without making a noise as chances are high that any kind of sound would make Christian wide awake from his deep sleep. And only Abeer and Khushi knew how much efforts they had to do to let him sleep.
However, suddenly a deep pain started in Abeer's hands and he was about to drop the plates in the floor due to that immense pain he was going through. He closed his eyes when he saw that plate was dropped on the floor and it would definitely make a noise and it will led a disturbance in Christian's sleep too.
But to his surprise, he heard no sound like this and this made him opened his eyes in confusion as why the broken plates did not make any sound after crashing on the floor?
And there he caught Khushi catching the fallen plates in her hands and smiling proudly, showing a victory sign as like she won the championship award for this.
"Hey! Mr. Stranger what are you doing here?", Khushi whispered to Abeer as she did not want to disturb the sleeping Christian.
"I am just trying to help you out by washing these utensils we used for serving our dinner.", Abeer explained in embarrassment.
"You know I am not a Richy Rich. I could not afford to buy them again if they get broken. So please don't ever try to help me with this.", Khushi replied with anger visible in her voice.
"But who is Richy Rich? I don't know him.", Abeer asked in confusion.
"Oops! Sorry.. My mistake I forgot to told you about him. Well, He is a cartoon character and in that show they showed him a billionaire who was so so rich that he could afford anything.", Khushi replied by showing her tounge out, mocking Abeer.
"Oh! Really.. I am sorry but I do not watch cartoon shows like you do.", Abeer replied mockingly.
Abeer remembered the moment when he was on a tour to Khushi's bedroom where he found out so many cartoon characters posters and photos that assured him that Khushi is really a child by heart who loves watching cartoon shows just like kids do.
Khushi notes the sarcasm in Abeer's tone but the next moment her question made Abeer halted at his place.
"But how do you know that you did not watch cartoon shows in your past as you do not remember anything from your past, No?", Khushi asked arching her eyebrows.
"Idiot.. Duffer.. Stupid.. Who told you to made her aware about your likes and dislikes? What if she would start doubting that I am only acting of having a memory loss? I might be in danger then." Abeer thought in his mind.
"Why do you keep running your mind so far when you could not think properly?", Abeer replied with a poker face.
"What do you mean?", Khushi asked being confused.
"I am not telling you about myself. It is just that usually boys don't love cartoons shows that much after attending a certain age. Infact they love spending their times on some games, playing sports and doing other curricular activities. Because they are not like girls who always love to play with barbie doll when they were child and when they grown up they would love to become barbie dolls by applying so much make up and show off. ", Abeer explained his opinion in front of khushi.
Abeer purposely raised this boys and girls likes and dislikes issue as he knew that this would divert Khushi's mind from doubting Abeer and she would start argumenting with him in favour of girls.
And as per Abeer's plan Khushi started favouring Girls by taking their side with her arguments.
"What do you really think girls only do make up and show off? They have nothing else to do apart from this?", Khushi asked placing her hands on her hips.
"I did not say anything. It is you figured out everything of your own.", Abeer replied, chuckling.
"You.. You.. I will kill you.", Khushi stated in an angry tone.
"Oh! Really then you have to caught me for that before.", Abeer replied, running from there in the living room.
Khushi started chasing him to catch him. But Abeer was so good in running that he would not get catch by her so easily.
She starts throwing cushions in his directions to stop him from running but Abeer caught those cushions every time whenever she threw them at him and threw them back at her making her stopped in her way to caught him.
While playing this game of chasing and catching they got so lost that Khushi's leg slipped on the cushion placed in her way and she was about to fall so she screamed in fear.
"Ouch! Oh my Godddddd. Help me.", Khushi screamed while her leg slipped and she was falling on the ground.
Abeer turned back after listening to Khushi's screaming and tried help her by holding her hand to prevent her from falling but it was really late for him to noticed this.
And they both fell on the ground, with Abeer on the top of Khushi and Khushi fell on the cushions lying on the floor so she did not get hurt.
Now when they both are so closed to each other, they could hear one another's heart beat thumping so loudly that it feels like anytime it would come out while beating. Khusi was so drown in Abeer's eyes that they did not recognize the position they are holding each other. Their deep eye contact and closeness started affecting them in a way they never experienced for someone else till now.
Will they be able to understand these strange feelings that started developing in their minds and hearts? Will they listen to their mind or their heart?
