"Agneepath, you know?" I scanned both of their faces for any traces of understanding but instead found amusement.
"Then… Vikrant is available in his room at the moment." Aaryan gestured towards the stairs.
"Why do you have to be so stubborn in making me ask Vikrant about it? Why don't you teach me?"
I wanted to avoid that cat-ish Raivardhan as much as possible. He gave me chills like no one else, and mind my words they weren't of the good type.
Aaryan gave me a sarcastic smile as he sadistically replied, "Because I enjoy witnessing your misery and Vikrant's annoyance."
He clapped his hands together and spoke like a jolly little kid on his way to a field trip, "Oh boy! What fun it would be to watch you both! No one can irritate him more than you."
The wriggling of his eyebrows earned him a smack from the cushion that I threw, only making him laugh like a lunatic he was. I seriously pitied the girl who was going to marry him.
Finally, having had enough of Aaryan's josh, Neel took mercy upon me and explained, "He's being an idiot as always. It's just that Vikrant used to be a dance teacher."
The limits of my astonishment crossed a new level after registering the words that came out of Neel's mouth.
"What?" That single word showed how surprised I had been on hearing what I heard. Vikrant and dance? Those two in the same sentence. I had never expected to hear something like that! It was downright outrageous! But in case it was the truth, I couldn't help but be curious about what type of dance he had mastered.
"Which type?" I couldn't stop the words from rolling out of my mouth. And did I really want to know about it? I so badly wanted to cover my mouth with my hands, just to gag myself and regret what I was going to hear. I knew for sure, whatever form of dance it was, it surely wasn't classical or folk dance. Imagine Vikrant doing Kathak, or let me not for my well being...
When I thought that the brothers hadn't heard my question, I was proved wrong. And the name of the dance style that Aaryan had answered made me want to facepalm myself.
He had only stated one word with a shark's smile, "Salsa."
Seriously, what was I getting myself into?
******
"You what?" Vikrant snorted from behind his table looking at me like I was cracking jokes over here. His eyes never left me while chuckling a bit before bursting out into full on laughter, at my expense. I just stared at him resembling a lost puppy when he was having a laughing fit.
All of a sudden he stopped and stared into my eyes with a sinister expression. "No."
As expected of him... A straight outno.
"Come on, Viky, can't you do that little thing for your only sister-in-law, Pweeaaase?" I asked in a child's voice, giving him my best puppy eyes. I had not used the cute side of me for a long time now, but desperate times need desperate measures.
He got up making me mirror his actions as he replied, "First of all, don'tevercall me that again and second, the answer is still no. So, kindly leave, I have got work to do and, never raise this topic ever again."
He walked to the door and opened it before gestured me to head outside. I walked out of the door just to pause by a step or two outside it and looked at him, "This doesn't mean it's over, Kaaliya, I will be back."
He didn't respond nor acknowledge it, just closed the door on my face becoming the reason for my pout.
"Now what do I do?"
The mission looked almost impossible, but my determination wasn't as weak either. Over the course of the next three days, I followed Vikrant all over the house, bugging him to tutor me. And all those times, he being the heartless jerk he was, just said the same old one word, "No."
I had tiptoed to stand by the open fridge door as he was busy taking out a water bottle and even before I could open my mouth and he could close the door, he said, "No."
He hadn't even looked at me! What a jerk!
Another time when he was watching a movie in the mini theater and as soon as he saw me, he slipped out of the room and rushed to his bedroom while having me running on his heels, pleading all the way. Actually, yelling... But he got into his room and shut the door close yelling a single, loud and clear, "No!"
He left the movie incomplete just to avoid me!
And then, there was that time when I was waiting by the elevator for him to come home. When the glass elevator came to stop with my eldest brother-in-law standing inside, engrossed in his mobile and letting my hopes get high. But Vikrant beingVikrant the jerk, as soon as the elevator doors opened and he looked at me and immediately hit another button to shut it close and went back down before I could even react.
I swear, even Viaan wouldn't have been this difficult! And to add to my frustration, Aaryan openly displayed how much he was enjoying it! Let me not forget Neel. He wasn't as transparent as Aaryan but he sure was enjoying the free show. While the remaining three Raivardhans were very much bemused with what was going on.
