Taming The Casanova

Sahil's POV

I got up and dragged myself out of my bed.

I had a faint headache so I went to take the medicine. It was quite early. I knew dad won't be there in the dining room so I didn't have to face him.

I was trying to find the medicine and finally got it. So I went to the kitchen to get water. I was surprised to see manu there. She was engrossed in her work.

She was cooking something. I didn't want to disturb her, so I took out a water bottle silently and kept it on slab and was about to pick glass from the utensil rack near her when she startled and moved abruptly and banged into me.

She tried to get away as soon as possible but slipped and was about to fall but I held her.

I felt some kind of strange nice feeling with her in my arms. She pushed me on the shoulder and I released her. But for the first time, I felt something strange, something nice...

"What are you doing here at this time?" she asked in an angry tone. Miss beautiful ice princess...

"I happen to live in this house too." I smiled.

"I meant by the kitchen..."

"It happens to be a part of the house."

"What do you want?" she asked rolling her eyes.

"Well interesting question. there can be many answers to that but the simplest one is that I wanted water."

"Take and go.. " she said

I took the water in the glass and then started taking out the medicine from its blister pack. When she came closer.

Are you unwell? She asked looking at the medicine in my hand.

"Yes, some headache..."

"Wait, you can't take it on empty stomach. "

"Doesn't matter... "

"It does... Wait I will get you something to eat.'

She gave me steaming hot idlis with Sambhar and chutney.

I looked at her and smiled.

"No parantha today??" I smiled at her.

"No... South Indian breakfast. But if you don't like it. I can make it for you.

"No, I like it."

"Then go and eat and then take medicine." She said pointing towards the dining table, but I didn't want to go.

"I can't eat if I am alone. I will eat here. "I said and sat down on a table there.

She ignored me and started making vada also. She almost forgot that I was there and kept doing her work. "Hey, I want that too."

"What??" She turned as if she had forgotten me. How can someone forget me? Shit !!! I am losing my charm.

"That doughnut."

"Doughnuts??" She looked confused, I pointed at the vadas. I just wanted to keep talking to her.

"Are you cra..... They are not doughnuts... They are vadas. Have you not eaten vada sambhar ??"

"Oh ok.. but I want to have that too." She brought some for me. I took them. I was enjoying irritating her, my headache was gone.

"Swati is not here to learn today?"

"She was feeling sleepy. So I thought I should make them when she will come, I will teach her."

"Who taught you to cook?"

My mom..'

"This is awesome...'

"Thanks, want more?"

"Later on maybe..." I said and left my plate in the sink and went back to my room with a smile on my lips.

Though she was still rude to me and didn't even look at me. But still, she didn't let me take the medicine on empty stomach. I liked spending some moments with her. I threw the medicine in the trash bin as my headache was gone.

She was like a fresh cold breeze in the morning. But the question remained as it is... Why was she angry with me?

Manyata's POV

Uncle was angry that Sahil didn't even talk to him and he came to know that he went to the club. He told Sagar Ji to go and party at the same place.

Sagarji talked with Samar Ji that he wanted to party. Samar Ji was also excited. Sagar Ji told him to come along with damini.

Swati was so excited she pulled me to room and we both got ready. I wore a pale pink coloured long flowing dress. While Swati wore a wine coloured knee-length dress.

I kept my hair loose. They frame my face well like this. I had not been to a party for long.

We all reached there. Sagar Ji, Swati and I reached there and went inside.

I saw him dancing with a girl in a red dress. They were dancing really close to each other. His arms were around her body. He started nuzzling on her neck. I diverted my eyes from him. Samar Ji's friend came and meet us he asked me to dance with him but I declined politely. Then he asked Swati and she accepted. They went to the dance floor.

Samar Ji said, "Hey only we are left." And he held my hand and pulled me to the dance floor.

Samar Ji saw Sahil and said, "Oh, it's so good we all are here.

"

He introduced everyone to each other. After that Sagar and Damini went dancing.

"How? I mean how all of you are here all of a sudden?" Sahil asked and I know his eyes were on me.

"I don't know Sagar made the program. He asked me to bring Damini here. He said he wanted to party. And this was the best place to dine wine and dance "Samar Ji said

He pulled me again. I have always loved dancing. So I left all the inhibitions and started enjoying.

That friend of Samar Ji was dancing nearby with Swati. After some time he asked if he could dance with me and Samar nodded. Samar and Swati were dancing now while I was dancing with that stranger. "You are very pretty are you some model?" He said to me and I smiled.

"No, I am not... "

"Studying?" I threw my head back and laughed.

"No, I am a photographer.

"Work with some newspaper or magazine?"

"I am a fashion photographer. "

"Wow !! Great, so you are from the glamour world. "

"Yeah..."

"But you are much more beautiful than any of those models... " He said in a flirting mode and I smiled. I was very much used to of that being in that line.

I excused myself and was coming to sit when Sagar Ji asked me to dance.

I looked at Damini with a raised eyebrow. Damini nodded with a smile.

Sagar Ji took me to dance.

"Are you ok?"

"Ji, I am fine..."

"I know my brother is a jerk but please give him a chance. "

"I don't know..."

"Please.... " just then he stopped speaking as he saw Sahil dancing with Damini.

"Hey, you said, you were tired, love." Sagar Ji asked Damini.

"I am, but Sahil dragged me here to dance," she said to him and Sagar Ji looked at Sahil.

"What?? I wanted to dance..."

"Go and dance with that girl, you came on a date with. " Sagar Ji said.

"She found some friends here. She is with them. I need to dance with someone."

"Ok, dance with Manu... " Sagar Ji said to us and gave my hand in his and went off taking Damini with his arm around her waist.

" So, can I have a dance with you, ma'am?" He said smiling at me.

"No, I think you should go back to your date. She might be looking for you. " I said looking for that girl.

"It is ok, she can wait. It won't hurt you to dance with me."

"No thanks..."

"Why?"

"I don't want to spoil anyone's date. Enjoy yourself, Mr Sahil Malhotra. "I said and came to our table.

I joined everyone. We all were enjoying when Sagar Ji asked him and his...... friend to join us.

It seemed that he was about to say no to Sagar Ji when his date accepted the invitation.

"Sure why not, I would love to meet your family. I wanted to that for long honey." He looked annoyed at that but had to join us.

She was sitting very close to him. . The whole thing was getting more and more awkward.

She was trying to show that they were together by talking about their relationship continuously. It was kind of irritating. She even said that they were planning to go to her place before we came.

I don't know why, but I wanted to kill someone. I composed myself and concentrated on what Samar Ji was saying.
