Mess

... ^ SID POV ^...

" Sorry Stacey but what would I have done instead of bringing her to our home? Let her wander on roads? ", I spoke to Stacey who was currently boiling with anger on her phone.

" Why do you care so much about her. You don't even know anything about her. What if she is just acting as an amnesiac or what if she is a criminal, spy or worse terrorist", Stacey screamed.

" I don't think that she is acting as doctor confirmed she is amnesiac, and I don't think she is a criminal as we reported her to police and police didn't found any criminal background, as for the fact why I care for her, I hit her with the vehicle, I was the reason she is in her current suffering ", I countered her in hope for her to understand me.

" Ok but for how long will she stay here? Or you have decided to raise her " she asked me.

" We can at least wait for 1-2 weeks before sending her away. Maybe her family will come to find her in time period ", I said pleadingly to her as she is main boss of house and more sensible than me and I won't be able to stop her if she decides to throw Nidhi out of her house.

" Ok kid, but only for a week. If her family didn't come within a week then I will personally kick her out of my house ", she said.

" Thanks a lot Stacey ", I said happily and hung the phone. I returned to the guest room to meet Nidhi when I saw her crying in the corner of the room.

" What happened Nidhi? Why are you crying? ", I said panicking, then I ran towards her and comforted her and then she suddenly hugged me making me stunned.

" I saw my old memory. My parents, they died in car accident and I was there sitting on my seat couldn't do anything to save them ", she told me while crying.

" We can't change anything which has already happened but we can change what will come in future so instead of sulking here, live a peaceful and happy life so that your parents lay in peace in heaven, because I don't want uncle and aunt to come back to earth in form of ghost and haunt me bullying their daughter ", I said comforting her.

"Thank you" she said and I saw her smile for first time and again my heart beat soar to the sky making me blush.

" So what will you like to eat Nidhi ", I asked her in order to hide my embarrassment.

" I don't know what I like and what I don't, so anything will work for me ", she said.

" So, if you are getting bored being stuffed in a room you can join me cooking ", I offered.

" Sure ", she said and smiled and I blushed again.

And when I saw my kitchen cloth burning and mess which was on the floor due to operating mixer grinder without lid, I came to know how bad idea was it. But truthfully I saw my image in her as I recalled the day when I cooked for first time and almost burned down whole house. So I gave nidhi the same punishment which my mom gave me, cleaning all the mess or else no food for whole day.

... ^ NIDHI POV ^...

I was sleeping in the room which Sid provided to me when I suddenly saw a nightmare in which I was travelling with my father and mother when suddenly a truck appeared in front of our car and bumped into us.

Truck rushed away after hitting us and I saw my father being crushed and my mother holding me in her arms. Her back was filled with large pieces of glass which were broken from window due to collision. She died saving me and there I was sitting in my seat watching everything.

I jerked and jumped up from my bed and sat in a corner crying out my heart which was so heavy that it felt like it was filled with lead.

Then I heard the voice of door opening but I couldn't care who was there on the door. Sid came running towards me and comforted me, but then I hugged him and told him all the grievances I was suffering in my heart. He comforted and joked with me and I fully let down my defenses and gave a genuine smile after thanking him which I think stunned both of us.

Then he offered me to cook with him and I agreed without thinking twice as in this way, I could concentrate on other things instead of thinking about my deceased parents. Well maybe it didn't ended on good note but I enjoyed doing it and promised myself I would learn cooking without making the kitchen a mess and then cleaning it next time.

... OH GOD, CLEANING SUCKS. ...
