Chapter 16

"Mexican"

"Italian"

"Indian"

No we aren't playing atlas here.

This argument is only to decide what we are supposed to have for dinner today.

Although being in China, Chinese is a big no no.

Because she finds Chinese food in China very bland.

"I prefer Indian version of Manchurian and chicken lollypop." Her words 

She continued "again though I am thorough non- vegetarian I have strong phobia that people in China prefer cockroaches and crabs as their main course. No I'll stick to burgers and pizza even margarita pizza works fine with me."

I know why she has that phobia

My very friendly Sia happened to befriend a local Chinese staff at the apartments we were currently staying in and she recommended her with very nice and amazing diner' as quoted by the girl from the staff. 

So excited Sia put on her printed gown and yes to complete the look she also added two sticks on her bun

"Feel like a Chinese too" she winked as she whirled around to display her Indochinese self.

I simply bowed at her like two karate fighters bow before their fight.

Don't blame me!

That's the only Chinese thing I know

All grace to Jackie Chan's movies my dad would watch like marathon when I was young.

Can't blame a guy to enjoy watching some action.

Sia was so excited on our way to tehdiner. She gushed at the neat and clean streets of the cities and enjoyed the tall buildings everywhere illuminated with colorful lights and setting the example of modern complex and attractive architecture.

She inhaled the breath of cool fresh air whne our cab passed the lines of Pearl river, her eyes twinkling stating that she was enjoying being a tourist

So when we reached there we realized that the diner was in the interior of a city, the buildings around did not look modern rather had an ancient touch to it. Red chinese lanterns were lit at the entrance of the houses.

The diner we were suggested wasn't a fancy one but was till crowded suggesting that people indeed enjoyed the food here.

Our hopes lit up as we were helped to one of the mepty tables.

Immediately after being seated we were served local tea for free.

I stress on the free part because it was just nothing like our tea and Sia almost spilled the tea out of her mouth and while we waited to place our orders, she happened to notice the local people in our next table enjoying their dinner.

Yes there is nothing wrong in people having dinner

It was the delicacy they were eating.

Two young almost college going dug their forks into live, I mean alive cockroaches, dipped them into some reddish black looking dip and gulped it in their mouth.

Sia almost shrieked and rushed out of the diner.

"That was hilarious," I mocked.

She made an eww! face still shuddering at the memory "that wasn't hilarious. Come on I do not mean to offend eating habits of any society but really live cockroaches." She almost sprinted towards the cab.

"Have you ever watched Man v/s Wild in Discovery channel?'

"Oh the Bear Grylls one" she said recollecting immediately.

"Yes he eats, termites, snakes, birds and live insects."

"Well I told you, I am not a critic of food habits and what Bear does is for survival. But to enjoy a creeping and moving insect and putting it in your mouth alive as a delicacy. No" she almost ran as if talking about them would be like eating them alive.

Immediate inshot app notification about legalizing of alive mealworm burger in Switzerland on her mobile made her shudder even harder

I simply laughed at her.

Life was so much fun with her on my side.

"We will order Pizza today too." She said quickly probably remembering the same diner

"One more pizza and I doubt I'll live." I denied, "I already get nightmares of huge pizza bases laughing evilly and running after me." It was my turn to shudder at the virtual thought.

"Oh my baby is having nightmares" she came across sitting on my laps.

And like a sweet fiancé that I am, I comfortably hugged her only to be smacked by her, then she slapped me slightly "don't be comfortable, next time take a pizza cutter besides your pillow and go to sleep, I am sure that base of pizza will run away from you rather than opposite."

"Ha ha!" I gave a sarcastic laugh "now where are you going?' I asked as I watch her wear her socks and sketchers.

"To hit the gym, till then you can go online and decide what to eat." 

Throwing her towel around her neck she murmured to herself "what wouldn't I give to have basic dal[lentils] and rice cooked at home.

'''''''''''''''

"Surprise surprise!" I shouted excitedly but she pushed past me running towards her dearest 

Yes she'd brought her most intimate friend with her, the one that always sticks to her body, travels with her sometimes even sleeps with her.

Guys I am talking about her bag

What were you thinking?

Rummaging into her bag for more than 15minutes like usual.

I wish I were an accountant and could edit or audit some of the items from her bag.

I waited till she finally and successfully managed to get a strip from her bag and popped the pill in her mouth.

"Headache?" I asked 

"Severe" she replied and rushed to fall on the bed and lights switched off

Here goes my surprise! 

While I waited for Sia to wake up and share home cooked meal I decided to call dad "hey dad. I was wondering if I could get persatible perfusable devices for the hospital. They have specialized ones with temperature control feature and few other specializations and if we order now since there is this huge trade fair going on here, I believe we'll get at good price.

"But son we hardly get any donors. Even we are requested I recommend my friend's hospital, which is specializes in these. I can ask him if he wants few of those."

"But dad I have seen a lot of these being in our order list" I tried to explain.

"Wow that son of a b*** is a grandfather" dad I guess was reading one of his effbee notifications.

"Dad" I shouted 

"Dam time for party. You'd now officially have pees and poops in your pants" This was his reply.

Actually don't bother, this was the comment he was typing to his friend who was now a grandfather.

"DAD" I shouted louder this time.

"Oh okay. Sorry son." He apologized though we both knew he was only being nice "got carried away. Tell me."

"Dad I was asking about those....."

But he interrupted "s**t that b@stard called me spoilt brat. See son I don't think we need any of that. Bloody idiots my friends. No alcohol in their party" well that part was his next comment on effbee or stagram or whtever "hey how is Sia. You two enjoying?"

"We are.."

"s**t the typos I typed constipation instead of congratulations and have a great figure instead of great future to the new born. I am shammed. s**t I will call you guys later. Have fun and don't stress too much. Go enjoy, go sight seeing. Everything else will be worked out.'

"yes dad" I say ultimately bored but smile invariably hwen he adds "I know you are responsible but still take care" I can visualize his wink at the end of the conversation. "hey wait" he said excitedly only if I knew what was to follow next I would have already hanged up 'hey kid between I do not intend to compete with my peers to become a grandfather so soon. So whatever you guys do. Try to use protection" he thankfully hung up without my reply

Only if he knew

"Will you marry me?" 

Well you guys might have been shocked to hear those words but I am not.

Because this was coming from a filter free Sia.

"I can totally marry you now, the orgasms you give!" she made a satisfied groaning sound, her mouth stuffed 

"Really?" I asked faking expectant "do you really think I am that good in bed" I wriggled my eyebrows

And no I am not giving her blowjob, hand job or any kind of job.

"Shut up you i***t" she elbowed me softly "don't keep your hopes high. The innuendo was your cooking. Hmm... the basic flavors are actually bursting in my mouth the dal rice, I could actually kill someone for these rice and lentils. Thank you thank you" 

"My pleasure ma'am' I salute her like a chef proud of my culinary skills.

"Your mom must be an amazing cook to have taught you such amazing cooking." She pushed a spoon towards me to have a bite.

Suddenly losing my appetite I say "no I am tired and sleepy. I need to sleep."

If she noticed the change of my demeanor she did not comment.

"That means good night I guess."

I smiled vaguely "good night" and went to my self-designated room to call it a night, sleep far away from my eyes.

It was only after 15 minutes once I had stripped off to my boxers, brushed my teeth' you can grace my hygiene, arranged my bed with one pillow of my head and the other for my legs, conditioning in full speed and a comforter to wrap myself with.

Once I have comfortably settled in my night bed where I am sure would sleep less and toss and turn more but nevertheless.

However my peaceful and lone self was not liked by Sia who barged into my room and pressed all the switches lightening the room up as if it was Christmas and jumped on my bed with her same sweaty gym clothes she hadn't changed since she returned yet smelling like berries, courtesy her body spray that she almost bathed with after her return from her strenuous work out session.

"Hey you asleep?" she asked.

"Wow good question" I replied sarcastically after practically trying to kill me in my sleep by jumping over my sleeping body. If not your weight, I might have died of heart attack" I said shocked still strapped under her, my face popping from behind the comforter.

"I know you weren't sleeping okay" she made a duh face.

"What do you want now?" I asked irritated trying to fake a yawn and failing successfully.

"That was neither funny nor gross. Thank god you are not in Bollywood." Sia laughed.

"Sia you have slept throughout the evening. Its 11:15. Let me have the grace to have my beauty sleep" I pleaded.

"Well mom says sleeping empty stomach is a bad omen and it invites nightmares." She explained.

"And you believe that?" I made a duh face.

"No" she denied immediately "I believe if you a great chef, I am great at serving." The she broadened her shoulders and said proudly "no one can reheat the food in microwave better than I do." She stretched a glass plate of lentils and rice garnished with chopped onions and parsley a small line of smoke emitting from the dish promising that she indeed heated the mixture.

"Licking her lips she asked, "doesn't it look appetizing?"

My eyes lasted a little longer at her now wet lips and I couldn't help but answer "yes"

Before I could realize how stupid I had bene to say such a thing she actually pulled the whole comforter off me and threw it on the floor.

Her eyes widened at my semi naked state as she wolf whistled "oh you never told me you go all commando while you sleep? Trying to impress all girls wih your abs in your sleep?" she wriggled her eyebrows suggestively. Then she patted her head "no, not girls but pizza bases."

"Sia." I said defeated "please go."

"I will but I don't want to eat alone" she pouted "please come and share dinner with me."

"I am not hungry" I tried to deny.

"But I am starving" she made the most adorable puppy dog face "I hate to eat alone and my stomach is like all the dragons from Harry potter playing Quidittch in it. Please please please" she begged and as on cue her stomach actually did make a growling sound.

Embarrassed she pressed her lips "I guess one of the dragons have passed the ball through the ring" 

We both laughed at the same time.

Feeling sorry for her and really appreciating her efforts I stood from the bed saying "come let the knight in shining armor feed the hungry damsel"

"Corrections" she interjected "knight from the kitchen"

"Okay chef from the kitchen who doesn't have a shining armor. Happy?"

She nodded before pulling me to sit on the tiny two seater table and started munching on her plate of rice.

Why did she wake me up if she was to eat alone?

I groaned internally folding my hand around my waist.

How can she even eat so much?

"Are you always going to stare while I eat?" she asked irritably.

"I don't see my plate." I said humbly.

"No plates. I do not want to do dishes" she offered a clean spoon "Dig in" she commanded pushing the plate slightly towards me.

I contemplated the offer for a while but when the growling of my stomach announce my hunger I too started stuffing myself with the self cooked dal and rice.

Amidst all the Sia drama and the past memories

I did realize one thing

I indeed was a great cook!

''''''''''

Binayun temple was both amazing and draining especially when I had Sia who wanted to explore the place barefooted instead of taking the cable car or bus.

The walk with the nature and waterfall was great especially I had a company with whom one can never get bored.

And her snide remarks were cherry on top "hey I have never seen a chinese with six pack abs" she shouted all of a sudden.

My reply "today I will show you a lot of Jackie Chan movies. You can admire the now old mans abs"

"No no the ones related to kungfu and karate. I don't want to see them. They fight but make noises as if they are having hot wild $ex"

"Bless her to link each and everything to $ex.

"Do you think I can have a bath in watrerfall?" she asked.

"No I don't think " I replied honestly.

"Why you are scared I'll get washed away with the fall?"

"No I think you haven't brought a changeover and driving back to our apartment drenched isn't a good idea after all."

"Oh that can be worked " she wave her hands "I can go commando in the fall." She reached to the top button of her white dress shirt that was tight till the waist but had loose frill flowing sleeves

Did I mention that she looked really pretty in the white top and baby blue figure hugging jeans?

I held her palms tightly stopping her to go stark naked into the water.

Her response

Well I am her personal laughing Buddha by now who makes her laugh without even trying to do so.

"You actually thought I'll give you the pleasure ?" between her laughs she didn't shy away telling "between how much did you visualize?" she wriggled her eyebrows suggestively.

To hide my blush I simply walked ahead of her ignoring her please to have a jump with her into the water "please lets jump into the fall together. If the cops come, we'll be together in everything" her idea of adventure in sight seeing.

Once back home she rushed to the kitchen and filled herself with a glass of water and started her usual fiddling into her handbag.

As an usual she picked the strip and punched out a tabled and before she could pop it in her mouth I stopped her "these are not skittles " I pointed.

"Wow Sherlock" she teased before freeing her hand and putting it into her mouth.

Instead I tightened the grip "stop popping the painkillers as if they are some nuts."

She laughed at it "we do not pop nuts in the mouth, it is what is between those nutsthat gets the job/ pop?." She wriggled her eyebrows again.

"This is not funny. Headache?" I asked and she nodded "terrible."

"There isn't anything else you can do to get rid of it breathing, swimming, massage anything?"

"You think I haven't tried?" she said curtly "now before my head bursts into a million pieces let me have this " she lifted her hand with the pill.

"There must be something. You cannot have them everyday. Something. Okay give me half an hour, if it doesn't subside then you can have this." 

She looked between me and the tablet like an addict looking at his last cigarette and internally debated for a while and then finally with a sigh "okay doctors and if I die due to pain. I'll sue in Indian penal court."

"How can you sue me if you are dead?" I joked but the way she glared at my pj I sealed my lips and pulled her on the sofa guiding her to breathe "in hale, exhale inhale exhale" I helped her with some Indian yogic pranayams.

She sincerely did it for a while and I thought it was working when all of a sudden she stood up and went to puke in the restroom.

"That bad?' I asked and she nodded 

"I am sorry" I apologized and half-heartedly handed her the pill.

Seeing the reluctance in my voice she offered.

'You really want to help me get rid of the headache?" she asked

"Yes" I said honestly 

She pushed my legs together making me fold them Indian style and the putting her head on my laps she closed her eyes feeling very comfortable.

It was indeed comfortable for her.

But me...?

You can imagine her pretty face being very closely nestled to my not so humble, not so innocent junior who perked up immediately like a cobra lifting his head ready to pounce on it's prey.

Her holding my hand didn't help either so I focused or tried to focus on what she was telling "And now with both your pointers simply trail for fingers on eyebrows outside to inside. Out in, out in" she moaned, in pain

Cursing my hormones I followed her suit moving my fingers softly and gently a little above her eyebrows and darn it was working

I could feel her relax, her stiff demeanor easing on my laps and the wrinkles between her brows fading with every move of my fingers.

"Thanks Sandy. I am feeling much better." She said sincerely "my mom used to do this when I was young and it used to relieve the pain instantly."

"Pink moma used to do this?" I asked shocked. Somehow she doesn't look like she'd understand the yogas and massages in deep. She can hardly cook without goofing up. Rather she'd look for pink yoga mat before actually starting any yoga practices

"No my mom, my real mom. Don't tell me Pari never mentioned it to you that I was adopted." Sia said easily although the discomfort with use of word adopted was evident.

Holy f#king s**t she was adopted!
