I exhaled in exhaustion. The curiosity was seriously killing me. But I had no other choice either.
I would have to find it out myself in the evening.
3. TEEN
"Andthis brainy gentleman left the suitcase and ran behind the thief!" Everyone burst into roars of laughter as uncle Aadarsh finished narrating the incident that occurred with Kush.
"I really didn't realize that I even had a suitcase with me at that time," Kush scratched the back of his head embarrassed. Light blush tainting his cheeks.
It was seven in the evening and everyone was back from work. Aadarsh uncle and Kush welcomed us. Of course, Kush's welcome was more like a sarcastic tease rather than how Aadarsh uncle welcomed us.
"Oh! Are you still here? I thought that you would have already enrolled in the monastery," That was the first sentence that came out of Kush's mouth.
"Hardy har har," I narrowed my eyes on him. The troublemaker could never change.
"Why? Why monastery?" Ritika furrowed her eyebrows looking from me to Kush and then back to me. I just gritted my teeth at it while mentally chanting, ‘Don’t say it! Don’t you dare say!’
Had anything ever gone in my way before to go in my way now?
"Because this little miss will eventually end up as a spinster, or..." He paused to give me an evil grin, "or end up making a grandpa… debauchee." There he said it... Couldn't live without his cockiness, now can he?
"He. Is. Not. A. Grandpa," I gritted through my teeth. Agreed that Mr. Surya Kanth Nath was almost double my age, but he wasn't as ancient as Kush tends to exaggerate. At least, he shouldn't make it sound so bad...
In any case, if I did end up marrying Mr. Nath, let me at the very least not be haunted by these words for the rest of my life!
"Ohhh... Protective, and possessive!" Kush sang.
I swear I was going to smack his head any moment now.
"But I rather see her as a nun than see a hyperactive grandpa," he turned to Ritika explaining further. I raised my fisted hands in the air. If my life was a comic book, there would be some smoke coming out of my ears, a lot of smoke!
Looking at the fists, Kush's eyes widened a bit with amusement before he started walking backwards, "I was just kidding, kiddo! No need to take it so personally!"
Like yeah! Sure that was a joke that would haunt a lot of my nights now!
Sensing my murderous intent, he turned around and ran like a coward he was.
And I chased after him, shouting, "come back you, you moron! Wait till I catch you!"
"I still can't believe that he is earning but he still has a brain the size of a peanut! I don't even know which nut case hired him!" I found myself yelling at the top of my voice!
"Umm... Rynah, it was uncle Aadarsh who gave him a job..." Ritika who was seating on the sofa watching us supplied, pausing our cat and mouse chase. My eyes were now saucer wide and Kush was laughing his butts off while uncle Aadarsh who entered the room regarded me with a raised eyebrow.
I bit my lower lip and gave him an awkward smile, "my bad..."
And with that I chased after the troublemaker once again, who jumped over the sofa and ran upstairs, still laughing like a lunatic.
"Earth to the Miss Bad Temper!" Snapping of fingers before my face grabbed my attention. Anjali pursed her lips and wriggled her eyebrows, "you haven't seen any Raivardhans, yet. So whose thoughts are lost?"
"I was thinking about how to murder your brothers and not end up in jail," I sighed, slouching back.
"Well, if you conceive a plan, count me in," she mirrored my action, "I'm still trying to figure one out."
"Omg! I completely forgot!" All of a sudden she was back on her feet before grabbing hold of my hand, "come on!"
"Wait! Where are we going?" I laughed.
"To your room, of course!" Was her only reply before she dragged me all the way up to the second floor, just as she had said, to my room.
