We all started having snacks. But the moment Sia ate the cake, she moaned. I looked at her she was loving it. Then she took another bite and moaned even louder this time.
" Sia !! " Rohit he choked on something and looked uncomfortable at that sound.
" What happened? " I asked him and gave water to him.
" N.nothing bhai! " Rohit said but Sia was enjoying her cake with that beautiful smile on her face. She moaned again and Rohit closed his eyes.
Oh, God! I understood... They were so cute.
My sweet and lovesick Brother-in-law was getting affected by the way my sister was moaning.
Sia took another bite and again... She has always loved her food and enjoys it as if she cares a damn, who is around.
" Sia, can you please... " Rohit said in a lower volume.
" You want to eat? It is awesome. I am in love with this chef... " She said and moaned again after taking another bite.
" What?? You love the chef?? Sia, this is too much. How can you say that? What about me?? " He got up from his chair.
Ufff! Another member of this stupid OPH club.
" What?? I don't love the chef that way, Rohit. I mean that I love cakes made by that chef. " Sia said cutely eating another bite of her cake.
" I will not get cakes from there now. And please stop making such sounds." Rohit was getting angry.
" You have to get them every day... What sounds are you talking about? " She asked.
" No, I will not, I hate this chef... You know, what I am talking about. " He said and I was trying not to laugh at his situation. He is was really madly in love with Sia.
" Rohit, I will not talk to you, if you will not get me this. I can't help it if you get jealous of even the coffee and cake I eat. Just control your over wild, dirty imagination and let me enjoy my food. " Sia said and the expression on everyone's face was of shock.
Mom didn't understand anything, Dad was a bit confused and I was a bit uncomfortable but Rohit was as red as a tomato and could not even look at anyone of us. It was really a very funny situation.
Poor man!!
My sister was enjoying her food while he could not swallow a single bite, hearing her moaning like this.
The situation was getting awkward and I decided to break the awkwardness.
" Let me also try this cake and find out, why my sister has gone crazy about it. " I said looking at both of them and served two slices of the different flavours Rohit got.
It was looking tempting. I cut a small piece of one of them and put it in my mouth and the moment it hit my palate, I moaned too.
It was so good... I don't know why, but I felt very good after eating this. I had never tasted such a good cake in my life.
" It is amazing !! I loved it. I am not a big fan of cakes myself, but this is mind-blowing. " I said eating more.
" Hmm... I told you. Everything in that bakery is awesome. " Sia said and I nodded and tried the second flavour and it was equally good. I swear, I tried not to moan but the sound came out.
" Well, if everything this chef makes, tastes like this, then... I love this chef too. Just look at the design, texture, flavours... Awesome. " I said.
" Stop discussing food and concentrate on getting married. I have told all my friends and relatives and they will start suggesting girls very soon and don't you dare avoid the girls. " Mom said and I rolled my eyes.
" Ok, mom !! " I said.
I had no problems meeting any of those girls. In fact, it will be fun ... I enjoy their company and love to see them blushing at my comments.
Till now, no woman has ever been able to resist my flirting. Especially, if they are single.
I have always believed that there are so many beautiful girls around, then why bind myself with one girl for the rest of my life?
So I flirt with them, we have some fun time together and then we both go our separate ways. I never give them false hopes of being together forever. In fact, I always tell them that there is nothing serious, we can just enjoy some time together. So that they don't plan to weave any strings of hope around me.
I was enjoying this life, but when I saw Sahil, a certified Casanova like me turned into a family man, I was shocked. I could never imagine him getting married. Manyata had tamed him completely. He hasn't even looked at another girl since he got married to her.
He would gladly prefer to spend a night with his wife and daughters than going out on a date with the most beautiful girl in the city.
But how??? Sahil was extremely good looking while his wife was just above average... He was not only absolutely loyal towards her but was crazy and possessive about her. How did that happen??
Anyway, it would never happen to me.
I didn't want to marry at all. I have been flirting around and I don't want to be unfaithful to my future wife. Because I would not want her to be unfaithful to me.
But now my mom was going crazy with this idea of me getting married. Even dad, Sia and Rohit wanted me to get married and in a way they were right, all my friends were settled and I had started feeling awkward while socialising with them.
As they all come with their wives and I go on a random date. Maybe I should agree to what my family wants.
But was I ready to get married to some girl?? Was I ready to commit my loyalty to one girl?
I was so confused... So I left everything on time. I would cross the bridge when I reach it.
***
Rohit wanted to go back as Sia had to take a rest. I wanted to spend more time with them but she looked tired. So I didn't stop them.
Everyone was just too full to eat dinner so mom and dad retired to their room. I wanted to have an early night too as I could not sleep last night too.
But I had some work to do so I started my laptop and checked the mails first and worked for some time.
Somehow, I felt like eating some more of that amazing cake. So I went to get another piece of it.
I was still eating the tastiest cake ever when my phone started ringing.
I looked at the screen and was surprised to see that Viraj was calling. He was my first cousin. His mom is my mom's real elder sister ( my mausi ). I picked up the call.
" Hi, Viraj! How are you?? " I asked.
" I am good, actually I want you to meet someone. " He said.
" You want me to meet someone? Whom and why?"
" Someone very close to my heart. She is like a younger sister to me."
" But why do you want me to meet her?"
" Have you become dimwit all of a sudden? Why would your family suggest you to meet any girl? Because we want you to settle down now. Do you even know, what people say about you? "
" What? "
" That you chase anything in a skirt. " He said and I laughed.
" So, why do you want me to meet a girl who is just like your younger sister. You know my reputation, right? You just enlightened me as well. "
" Because I know you as well as her. You both are very nice people. She is absolutely the opposite of you. And as they say, that opposite attracts, maybe you both like each other as well. "
" Ok, tell me more about her. "
" She is a gem of a person, very sweet, beautiful, looks like a model, about 5'5" tall, decent, sings very well, very talented and what I love the most about her is that she cooks really well. . Viren and Myra are crazy about her cooking and keep telling her to make cakes for them. Trust me... Only I know how important it is that your wife is a good cook." He said with a sigh!
I chuckled at that as I have had the food Maya bhabhi had prepared. I remember that he finished it just to prove that it was not bad and he loved it. He is such a foodie.
I ate another bite of the cake and thought for a second about meeting this girl.
" Ok, I would love to meet her first. I don't want mom to be involved in this or she would start pushing me. " I said.
" I also don't want that. I want just the two of you to meet... At first. " He said but I sensed that he was not telling me something.
" Why am I getting a feeling that you are up to something. " I asked.
" No, I just don't want our moms to grill me to get this marriage fixed as soon as possible. I want both of you to meet first and if you both are comfortable with each other, we will tell our families. "
" Great! So tell me the time and place and I will be there. By the way, how are Maya and the kids? I miss them. "
"Then come over for dinner to my place. " He said.
" Thanks but no thanks, I am not missing them so much. I can't take the torture one more time. "
" No, nowadays Srusti is Preparing the food for all of us as I love her cooking. "
" Srusti? "
" The girl, I want you to meet. " He said.
" Oh, ok! But l think we must meet alone for the first time. "
" Yeah, I will make a plan and let you know. You can take her on a dinner date but don't dare to do anything improper or I will punch you really hard. "
" I never do anything until the girl is more than interested. But I will be more cautious in this case as she is like a family to you. Don't worry, I will be on my best behaviour. " I said.
" Very good. I will call you in a day or two. Bye good night, Sujoy !! "
" Good night, Viraj. "
I said and disconnected the call.
*******
From the very next day, our family friends and relatives started suggesting random girls to my mom. And she wanted me to meet all those girls. She fixed my meeting with one of them and when I came back home, the girl and her family were there. I didn't know what to say. But as I could not think of spending my life with her, I refused to marry her.
The next day mom brought a girl and her mother to meet me in the office, I was just too annoyed. And told dad to send them away. Dad persuaded them to come to our place later on. But there were waiting for me at home when I reached there.
I refused to marry her too. She was not properly educated. So it was easier to refuse in this case.
Then I met two more of them, but I could not stand them even for a minute. All that was getting on my nerves. So I was literally fed up.
The next day I could not dare to go home, so I went on a date with Ms Sandhu.
Sujoy's POV
The next day I could not dare to go home, so I went on a date with Ms Sandhu.
She was beautiful, elegant and stylish. I felt normal as this was my normal life... I was happy like this. I don't think I would be able to take the pressure of an arranged marriage.
So I decided that I would marry a girl of strictly my choice. I didn't want the whole family to be involved in this.
"What are you thinking about? "
She asked. But I just shook my head and gave her a lazy and sexy smile.
She was giving me a subtle invitation to spend the night with her. We finished the food and went to her place.
She invited me in for the coffee and I was happy that she did it as I wanted to distract my mind from that marriage saga.
" See, I want you... But I want to make one thing very clear... I don't want any serious relationship. I don't think, I am ready for it.
" It's ok... I don't mind that too... I liked you and would like to see how compatible we are... I just broke up with my boyfriend and I am trying to get over it. "
" Oh, ok !! Great! " I said.
" Great ?? " She asked with a raised eyebrow and smiled immediately after that. I pulled her in my arms and kissed her.
She welcomed my kiss, in fact, she was kissing me back frantically, almost so frantically as she scrabbled to unzip my leather jacket her hands went up beneath my T-shirt and she stroked my body in the teasing way which I adored a lot, the touch was very intimate.
" Oh, God!! Do you even know what are you doing to me?? " Her words came to me in a haze. I got even more aroused to hear that. I kissed her very hard.
She could not speak, hear or think after that. All she could do was clutch to me for support while I roughly unbuttoned her linen dress so that her bosom was visible straining madly against the burgundy colour lace of her bra.
" Where is the bedroom?? " I demanded in a voice that had become hoarse because of sexual tension.
" Over there..." She whispered pointing towards one side. I had always believed in instant decisions and there wasn't a trace of doubt on her face, so I led her over the door. We were so excited that we were removing each other's clothes while going to her bedroom leaving a trail of clothes.
Once inside the room, I simply pushed her on the bed and then followed as if I had every right to do so in then I kissed her until the need in her grew unbearable.
" Oh, Sujoy, please... " that husky, sensual, pleading sound made me go crazy.
" Please what? " I asked pulling her hair a bit.
" You know what? " She replied looking into my eyes.
" No I don't, you tell me. How can I know until you tell me? " I growled as my teeth made provocative little bites on her earlobe.
She looked desperate to make love.
I freed the rest of the buttons of her dress, revealing the high cut burgundy colour lace panties which matched her bra she brought her knees up instantly to cover her bare belly but that moment excited me even more.
" Oh, my God! You are lovely come here and let me make love to you."
She came into my arms like an animal seeking refuge from the elements she was very turned on especially with my hand moving over her flat stomach.
" How does it feel? " I asked in a low husky voice.
" You know it is good... " She answered.
" Do I? " I smiled against her neck.
" Yes! " the voice sounded slurred as she begin to unbuckle the belt of my jeans and she felt me shudder where her fingers grazed the taut muscle of my abdomen.
I caressed her bare skin and she sighed.
" God!! That feels Like I've died and in heaven now," she said.
"Don't die just now... " I said with a teasing smile.
" Then stop teasing me. Or I will tease you too. "She whispered protectively as she began to open the zip of my jeans down.
" Please be gentle, You are playing with fire, girl. "
" I love playing with fire. " Her face was flushed with desire.
She kissed me with so much intensity that I got carried away and then one thing led to another...
It was a sensual night, I really liked being with her.
********
My phone was ringing but I was feeling too sleepy to pick up the call. Just then I felt some movement in my bed. I opened my eyes and looked at the warm body snuggled up with mine.
Kiya Sandhu?? I recalled how we both lost our control. I loved every minute of it.
I buried my face in the crook of her neck but she shrunk a bit as she felt the first rough graze of my chin.
" Ummm... You need a shave, handsome. " She said in her sexy sleepy voice.
" I will but don't tell me you didn't like it when it scraped that silken skin of yours. The exquisite contrast between your soft femininity and my hard masculinity... "
" Yes !! " She said.
The phone started ringing again. It was my dad. I picked up the call.
" Good morning, dad !! " My voice was hoarse because of desire to make love one more time.
" Where are you?? " He roared.
" At my friend's place. " I said.
" Don't lie !! Come home, immediately. " He seemed to be very angry.
" Coming, dad!! " I said and got out of the bed.
" You are going?? What is the hurry, we can spend some more time in bed and get to know each other a bit better?
" I would have loved to, but my dad is calling me, I need to go home. Will see you later. " I said,
freshened up and went back home.
*****
" Where were you last night?? " Mom popped the question.
" I was with my friends. " I said.
" No!! You were not. I called them. " mom said
" Mom, this is ridiculous. I am getting irritated now. How can you call my friend and ask about me like this? Do you know how embarrassing it is?? For god's sake, I am thirty-two, not a five-year-old boy. " I was annoyed as hell.
" Exactly!! That is what I am saying. You are thirty-two years old. When will you understand that you need a partner in your life? Every friend of yours is settled with their family. You should have started a family by now." Mom retorted.
" Mom, I agreed to get married, what else do you want? "
" Why didn't you come home yesterday?? You knew very well that I had invited some guests. Why was your phone off? Were you avoiding me? " She was furious with me.
" No, I forgot to charge my phone. " I just shrugged.
" Sujoy, enough is enough! I am sick and tired of this game. We want you to settle down as soon as possible. We want to play with your kids. Today we saw a boy playing in the park, he looked very much like you. Your mom got emotional again. "
" I have already said yes. But I don't want to meet all the girls. It is getting on my nerves. In fact, I will find a girl myself. Please don't force me. " I said.
" Fine!! But I want a result. We want to play with your children. " Dad said.
" Hmm..." I said and went to my room.
I was getting fed up with all this. Maybe I should date Kiya Sandhu more often. We enjoyed ourselves with each other.
********
My mom made my favourite food but I was not in a mood to talk anymore regarding marriage and my mom seems to have become possessed with the idea, so I went to my office. I happened to cross the hotel from where Rohit got that cake.
I stopped my car in the parking and went to its bakery Shop.
I saw lots and lots of varieties of all the baked delights and ordered a croissant, fresh cheese garlic bread, a slice of each of those two cakes I had that day and a coffee.
I was impressed with the very elegant and beautiful designs of the cakes. They looked as if some artist had chosen a cake as the canvas to make his paintings.
My order was served and I tasted the cake at first because I wanted to eat it again. I had literally fallen in love with the cakes.
I tried everything and loved every little crumb of it. I was full but was being glutton so told the sales girl to pack a few things for me. I wanted to try some more things, so decided to eat them for lunch.
I got one cake packed for Sia as well, would send someone to her place to deliver it.
I asked about the chef of those items but the girl said that she joined only yesterday, so didn't know anyone.
I really wanted to meet the chef but they got no information. When I was about to get out of the bakery, my phone started ringing. I was going out while holding everything in one hand trying to take out my phone from my pocket when I collided with someone.
I cursed under my breath and was about to scold the person, I bumped into... As one of the packs, I was holding slipped out of my hand. Though I managed to catch it before it could touch the floor.
The phone was ringing even now, I didn't want the cake I bought for Sia to get damaged.
" What the hell!! Can't you see?? " I said without looking at the person who collided with me.
" Oh, I am so sorry! I was in a bit of a hurry. Please accept my apology. "I heard a beautiful voice as sweet as the cake, I had just tasted.
I looked at the owner of the voice and was pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful woman standing in front of me apologizing sweetly.
She was about 5'6" in height, had beautiful wavy hair, till the middle of her back. She was looking at my hands with her big beautiful black orbs and apologized with her pink and plump lips. Though she was not wearing any makeup, still looked as fresh as a dewdrop. Her natural and subtle vanilla fragrance was tantalizing me.
I kept looking at her for a few seconds and then realised that she was talking to me. I looked at her plump kissable lips.
Oh !! How I wanted to kiss those lips...
" Are you alright?? Did I damage anything? Please check, I will get it replaced. I am really sorry, I was in a hurry..." She said looking at the cake in my hand.
" No, please don't apologise, In fact, I am sorry for shouting at you like this. I was concerned about the cake, I got it for my sister. But everything is fine, I held it immediately, so it is safe. " I said smiling at her.
She placed her bag on the counter and turned to look at me. She nodded and smiled apologetically.
I almost forgot everything and could hear violins playing in the background.
I flashed my best smile at her.
She looked a bit startled to see me and was looking at me with a weird expression on her face. Her big eyes became even bigger as if she was trying to recognise me but was not sure.
" Oh, great! Have a good day. " She said and vanished through a door behind the counter before I could complete my next sentence.
" Hi, I am Suj... "
What happened?? She didn't even react to my smile?? No girl had ever behaved like that to me.
