Chapter 33: Chapter 33

Khushi was sleeping peacefully at the couch with her hair falling on her face. After such a long time, she finally get some time for her. Last night she cleaned up the kitchen, and then did all the cleaning of the living room, laundry and after finishing all her work she thought of checking up on Abeer but to her surprise the room was locked. So she could not check on him and then lately when she found herself on the couch she started thinking of how she would manage the expenses from now on without having any job. So she made a quick mind note of starting hunting for new jobs which would help her dealing with expenses of her day to day life.

After a tight sleep last night, Abeer finally opened up his eyes slowly to start his new day. The entire room was filled with the warmth of sunrays making the surrounding comfortable.

"Oh no! I forgot to unlock the door last night after talking on the call. What if Khushi wanted to use the washroom! Damn!", Abeer realised his mistake which he did accidentally and immediately left the bed to check up on her.

The moment he came out searching for her, he witnessed the most beautiful scene in front of his eyes. Khushi's calm sleeping face. And then and there Abeer forgot everything around him and started taking baby steps in her direction.

"Just because she wanted to let me sleep comfortably she suffered every night with such a small space to sleep.", Abeer complained looking at the small couch and could not help himself adoring the sleeping beauty in front of his eyes.

He sat down without making a noise, not to disturb her sleep and tug her falling hair behind her ear slowly.

In her simple attire she was looking beautiful. Not everytime you need heavy makeup, sometimes your real beauty lies in your simplicity. And Khushi being the perfect example of it.

Abeer was busy observing every inch of her face that he started getting so close to her that they would feel each other's breath. This proximity led Khushi open up her eyes to check on her surrounding.

The moment she opened up her eyes, seeing Abeer's face so close to her made her scream at the top of her lungs in fear.

"Ahhhh!!!", Khushi screamed with her full intensity that made Abeer realised what he was going to do just a moment ago.

Abeer closed his eyes and put hands on his both ear listening to her screaming voice. But in the next second there was full silence all around which led him open up his eyes to know the reason behind this silence.

Opening up his eyes, he became shock at Khushi's deadly staring at him without blinking.

"What are you doing here Mr. Stranger? You know how much you scared me with your presence? I thought some thief entered secretly and was going to kill me. Then I realised it's you. And stopped screaming.", Khushi questioned in her complaining tone.

"Umm... Actually..", Abeer stuttered trying to explain what he was actually trying to do.

"Oh no! If I would tell her that I was so lost in her beauty that did not realise that I was going to kiss on her cheeks then she would surely kick my ass off from her apartment and would also beat the shit out of me until my injuries started bleeding out again. This would be a total risk for me. No.. NO I can't take this risk.. I can't tell her.. I can't do this. ", Abeer mumbled.

" What you can't do? And what you can't tell me? ", Khushi questioned back narrowing her eyebrows in confusion.

" Did you hear everything? ", Abeer questioned, cursing himself in his mind for talking so loudly to himself.

" No.. Not whole but I heard from the part where you were whispering, " I can't tell her.. I can't do this. ", Khushi replied.

" Ohh! Actually When I wake up I thought to check up on you as last night accidentally, I forgot to unlock the door and if by chance you wanted to use the washroom which was in the bedroom only. But the moment I came here I saw a mosquito was trying to bite your cheeks so I just came close to caught that mosquito otherwise it would bite you on your cheeks and also drink your blood. ", Abeer pointed out the excuses, whatever was coming in his mind to escape from being caught red handed.

" Even I don't know what rubbish I'm speaking but please don't doubt on me, Khushi. ", Abeer pleaded in his mind.

" Whatever that mosquito was trying to do. You should let him do that. Because the way I found you close to my face, I swore you would have became the death of me. ", Khushi said closing her eyes.

" Huh! She is okay if a mosquito would bite on her cheeks but If I have been there at that mosquito place then it would have became the death of her! Why this discrimination? Just because he was a mosquito and I'm a human.", Abeer mocked in his mind.

"Umm.. I am sorry. Trust me, I did not want to scare you with my presence. It was just the wrong timing.", Abeer said.

"Wrong timing? For what?", Khushi asked back.

" For you to open up your eyes. Because if you would have opened them after few minutes then I could have kissed there.", Abeer replied irritatingly.

"Kissed? So you were going to kiss me there?", Khushi interrogated with her questioning eyes.

Khushi's question made Abeer realised that he accidentally spoke out the truth in his frustration.

"What kiss? No.. No I guess you heard something wrong. I said," I could have killed that mosquito.. Not kissed! ", Abeer explained, trying to change her mind with his answer.

" Seriously? ", Khushi asked. Her eyes never leaving Abeer's eyes.

" Yes.. Now please let me go and freshen up otherwise we both will have to use the washroom at the same time together if we keep standing here and talking like that.", Abeer said and went towards the washroom to get ready and divert Khushi's mind from that kissing topic, not realising what he told to her in his hurry.

Khushi's cheeks turned crimson red when Abeer's words rang on her mind again and again," Now please let me go and freshen uo otherwise we both will have to use the washroom at the same time together ."
