20. Take Me For A Dinner
1534 Words
Kriti's POV:
Abhi looks at me and I can say how badly he was controlling his anger after hearing what I said. He maybe wants to tell me something but I'm not ready to hear because I still don't forget what he did to me.
"Sure Kriti, you can make coffee for both of us while we talk", mom said and left from there leaving Abhi with my mom.
I went to the kitchen to make coffee. I was feeling funny thinking that what that i***t will say to mom as I put him in an unexpected situation.
After some time, I make coffee and went again to the living room to serve the coffee.
But surprisingly I find Abhi normal this time, and he was smiling this time while talking with my mom. When I left from the living room to make coffee I found him somehow nervous but now he is totally okay.
I placed the coffee in front of them and tried to leave from there because I have no desire to listen to their conversation.
"Kriti, wait. Where are you going?", mom asked me from behind.
"To my room. I have something important to do", I replied to her.
"What is so important to do in your room rather than stay here for some time?", mom asked me in an angry tone and Abhi also looked at me in disbelief. I don't know why my mom doesn't hesitate to scold me in front of someone.
"I was watching a movie, and I left it in the middle, as I had to open the door. So, I'm going to watch the movie", I replied to her honestly and it makes my mom more furious, but she didn't scold me again.
"You can do it later. Abhi came here to take a ring size of your so, it will be better if you go to your room and bring a ring to give Abhi", my mom said and I can't believe what excuse Abhi gives to mom. I want to make him embarrassed to my mom as he could not say for what reason he came to our house today, but he already gives a useful reason.
I looked at him who was giving me a proud look. I went to my room to take the ring. I again come to the living room after taking a ring.
"Here it is?", I said Abhi offering the ring, and he takes it from my hand.
I started leaving again but my mom makes me sit beside her.
"The coffee of your hand is not bad", Abhi said looking at me. I can't believe how ungrateful he is. He should feel lucky I made coffee for him without poison but here he is calling my coffee average.
"Yeah it is because I didn't mix poison otherwise it will be incredible if I mix poison", I said to him in a sarcastic tone.
"Kriti, what's wrong with you?", mom yelled at me being shocked.
"It's okay aunty. I know she is kidding. You don't need to be angry", Abhi said acting good.
"Please don't mind, Abhi. She loves to say funny things. Don't take her words seriously", mom said to him, and he gives me a playful smile.
"You get the thing for what you come here so anything else", I asked Abhi because it is irritating to tolerate his presence. My mom gives me a death glare after hearing me.
"No, not at all. I already talked with aunty, and I think she will tell you. And aunty thank you for being so sweet. I have to leave now. I hope we will meet soon", He said, looking both at me and my mom.
"If you want, you can stay here some more time until Kriti's dad came", mom suggest him.
"Kriti why don't you take Abhi to your room and talk with him sometime", mom said to me this time.
"No aunty, it's absolutely fine. I will come another day. For today, I have to leave", Abhi said before I reject my mom decided to take him to my room.
"Okay then, see you again, Abhi", mom said.
Abhi said bye to my mom and surprisingly also to me and left our house.
"What happened to you, Kriti? Do you really forget how to behave with guests?", mom asked me and I can sense how angry she is right now.
"No. Why are you asking that?", I said to her simply like there nothing happened.
"You don't know what happened", mom again asked, and I shook my hand in no.
"Why you behaved this way with Abhi?", mom asked.
"You're talking about Abhi and saying him guest. Didn't you tell him earlier that it is his own house now, and he is also a member of this house? So, I forgot he is our guest and was treated as our family member", I said to her which she wasn't expected as a reply, so she remained silent with a shocked face.
I started going to my room ignoring my mom but my mom again stopped me.
"What's again, mom?", I asked her being disturbed.
"Abhi told me that he wants to take you for dinner tomorrow. Don't make him wait and get ready in time", mom said making me surprise.
"What do you just say?", I asked my mom in a surprising tone.
"Kriti, stop it. Didn't you hear once I said?", Mom said in an annoying tone.
"That's why I asking you to make sure if I heard it right or wrong. Did you just say Abhi want to take me for dinner?", I asked her, and she nodded.
"Why the hell he wants to take me a dinner? Who said I will go with him a dinner?", I sound full of surprise and angry at the same time.
"I said because you are going. I don't want to hear no from you. You're going because you need to know each other more so, it is better if you spend some time together", mom and leave from my side before I could tell her something.
I'm sure that Abhi somehow brainwashed my mom that's why my mom agreeing with him. And mom thought we should know each other where I think no one knows us as better as we know each other.
I went to my room and can't find out what to do. It's impossible for me to go for dinner with someone who destroys my career. I never imagine to spend a good time with him. I know why he wants to take me for dinner because he doesn't yet tell his useless important thing to me, and he wants to tell me that tomorrow.
I really can't guess what so important thing he wants to tell and it really made me curious and eager to hear what he is trying to say to me.
But to hear that I'm not ready to go for dinner because somehow it seems like a date and I don't want the first date of my life with this kind of man whom I hate most.
When I went to sleep, I decided to call him to tell him that I'm not willing to go on any date with him. It was really late, so I hesitate to call him but finally I call him. I thought maybe he was asleep but luckily he received the call.
"Hello", I heard his deep voice which gives me an unknown shiver in this silent night.
"He...He...Hello, it's me Kriti", I told him to confirm I call him.
"Do you call me to say your name in this late-night?", he asked me, and he was disturbed. I don't know why he always ready to behave with me rudely.
"No, I call you to inform you that I'm not coming any dinner date with you tomorrow and never", I said to him.
"You have to because it already confirmed by your mom", he said to me.
"Yeah, I know and I also know that you already wrapped my mom around your finger. But I'm sorry to say that I don't do whatever my parents said. And that's why I'm not going to any stupid dinner date with my enemy", I said to him and I can feel that he was fuming into anger.
"But I will meet you as you're so requesting me from today. But not in your boring office rather some coffee shop", I suggest to him because I also want to know eagerly what he wants to say.
"And if you want to skip the meat, you can tell over the phone whatever you want to say", I said to him before he told me something.
"No, I want to meet you", he said to me and tell me the time and place.
"Okay then, I will wait for you there. Come in time", I said to him.
"Okay", he said, and I thought he will cut the call instantly, but he doesn't.
"Are you waiting to say lovely good night to your would-be wife without cutting the call?", I asked him sarcastically.
"What are you waiting for? You can also cut the call", he asked me.
"Waiting to hear a lovely good night from my would-be husband", I replied to him but the next second he cut the call which I was expecting.
I went to sleep after he cut the call, but suddenly I heard the sound of the text. I checked my phone.
"Good Night, I would-be crazy wife", I found Abhi's text which makes me smile for an unknown reason.
