Man Razi ( part 2)

Sunlight piercing through the window had woken her up. Groaning she removed the blanket and in her heart cursed who ever drew away the curtains.
Getting up she yawned and proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up. The bathroom was all mosit as if someone just showered and the lingering smell of after shave made her realise she was with armaghan, in his house.
And the flashbacks of last night came rushing.
Sighing she went out again and took out all her toiletries and dresses from her bags. Unpacking took her a good two hours and making space for her clothes in his cupboard was another hurdle. She had to move his things into other drawers to empty space for her self.
Finally after organizing everything she showered wearing a violet kurta with jeans and blow drying her hair she was out of her room.
Clattering from the kitchen was heard. Peaking inside she saw abid busy doing work.

"Bhabi, ap uth gayeen? Nashta bana doon apko? ( bhabi, you woke up, shall I make breakfast for you)? " he asked picking up bread.

"Armaghan ?" She questioned instead.

"Wo to subah hi office chale gaye, sham tak ayengay.( he left for office quite early, will come back till the evening.) "
He replied and she nodded.

"Just make me a cup of tea." Saying this she went out in the lawn and was mesmerised by the view. It was ravishing. The slopey little road in front was covered with snow. The pine trees, the mountain peaks. Everything looked like a wonderland.
Taking a seat on one of the chairs placed outside she rubbed her hands and looked around seeing little house chalets like theirs spread all around.

"Apki chai! Aur kuch chahiye bhabi? ( your tea, do you need anything else?) "
Abid had brought in her tea along with biscuits and a croissant and she smiled at his efficiency.

"Shukriya( thankyou)".
She said and took in a sip of tea  and smiled with great difficulty because the tea was anything but tea. Sighing she kept it aside and took a bite of the biscuit. Guess she needed to teach abid alot.

"Koi kaam ho to bataiyega bhabi, main andar khana bana raha hoo." ( if you need anything let me know, I am cooking lunch inside.) " He said and went in.

Quickly finishing her croissant and biscuits she went and drained the tea down the drain and proceeded inside, to the kitchen .

Does Armaghan really like the food you cook. "She asked abid hesitantly, leaning on the counter looking at him preparring to cook food.

"Nahi, khas nahi per tareef kardete hain.( not much but he praises anyway) ". smiling abid said and she chuckled.

"Can I cook today?" She asked and he nodded.

"Why not bhabi, after all its your house, your kitchen." Abid had said and her heart churned at his words.

"Cut the veggies for me, i will cook chicken jalfrezi, okay."
She said and he nodded getting into action. Handing her all the ingredients she would need.
