An excerpt
“So what shall we order? Punjabi or Chinese?” She looked coyly at him, blinking quickly to give him the appropriate ‘come-hither’ look.

“We’ll order for parathas or rotis with a Punjabi paneer curry, if you don’t mind”, he said even as she turned up her small nose. She looked rather cute as she did that, noted Himesh.

“I’ll have Veg. Schezwan rice and noodles please. Firstly, let’s have some hot soup!”

Without waiting for him to agree, she gestured to the bearer who rushed to their table, eager to note down their order.

“One tomato soup shared in 2 bowls, please”, she ordered crisply.

Himesh wryly thought about how he was in hot soup, right then. He dreaded the inevitable confrontation with her later that night. He wondered about how to foist her off. But he needn’t worry unnecessarily, he remembered. He had bribed the bearer to add some extra chilly powder in her food. That would definitely keep her busy throughout the night!

“Why are you grinning like a Cheshire cat?” she asked, as she saw him beaming involuntarily from ear to ear at the thought of her discomfiture later at night, just as she came on to him!

My wife Priya, the author says, "Intrigue, about the workings of the human mind! So do read it and revel in its mystery! Unless you read it, you won't find out!"
