Spoiled von elfogadunk ================================================================================ Kapitel 5: ----------- In the next few days life became more bearable for Sharmili. When Shikha’s husband Manghesh came back from his business trip he gave Sharmili a warm welcome which made her feel more comfortable with the situation. He seemed to be open and nice like Shikha, so it was a lot easier for Sharmili to feel like home in their house. On Monday Shikha gave Sharmili all instructions she needed for her work. Sharmili listened carefully to everything Shikha told her and was resolved that she would fulfil all the tasks she had to do. The rest of the week was going by very fast. Sharmili was busy with cleaning the house, taking care of Tanay and picking him up from school. Before noon she was most of the time alone in the house. Tanay was at school, Shikha and Manghesh were at their works and Aditya was at the university. At this time she were doing the dishes and tidying up the rooms. When she was away to pick Tanay up from school Aditya came back home. He always went straight into his room and stayed there. Sharmili barely saw him and she was absolutely fine with that. His glances at the dinner table were enough and she was glad that she didn’t have that much to do with him. Most of the time in the afternoon she spent with Tanay after she picked him up from school. They were doing his homework together, going to the park or playing games. She loved the little boy and so he did. After diner and doing the dishes she went to her room where she just laid herself on her bed and thought about everything. She was thankful that she got this chance for a better life but she missed her family. She just couldn’t believe that they were gone. Forever. She felt tears running down her cheeks and wiped them off. It was hard but she had to look forward. She had to take her life in her own hands to make the best out of it. She knew that but she was also aware of that it would be hard work to become strong and self-confident. On Friday, when Sharmili was about to clean the windows in the first floor, she recognized that Aditya wasn’t going to the university. In the hope that he just had to go later she omitted his room but it was pointless. She stood in front of his door and didn't know what to do. She had to clean the windows in his room but she really didn't want to be alone with him in one room. Besides that she was sure that he wasn't eager about that, too. Aditya was sitting at his desk and was doing some homework when he heard a knock on his door. He could sense who was there and gave just a grumpy “Ji.” as response. The door was opened slowly and as he expected Sharmili stepped in. “I'm sorry for the disturbance but I have to clean the windows and if it doesn’t bother you I would...”, she said carefully and looked at him a little bit shy. Aditya observed her and answered with a simple nod. She sighed hardly audible and went with her cleaning supplies to the window to do her work. She felt totally awkward in his proximity but she forced herself to be calm and concentrated on her work. Even Aditya felt strange and he couldn't help it when his eyes were wandering over to Sharmili. She was stretching herself to get to the superior part of the window. He watched her and determined that she had really pretty curves. Everything seemed to be at the right place and he wondered how they would feel under his hands... Suddenly he realised what he was thinking. He lowered his gaze and tried to concentrate on his work. He didn't want to think such things about this girl because he was sure that this was her plan. She wanted to wrap him around her finger with her behaviour and charm him but he wouldn't fall for her. Nevertheless his eyes were wandering to her again. But at this moment Sharmili turned around and noticed his gaze. He felt caught but he didn't want to show, so he kept staring at her. Sharmili blushed and lowered her gaze. She didn't know why but she felt embarrassed. She took her cleaning supplies and left the room as fast as she could. Aditya gazed after her and ran his fingers through his thick hair with an annoyed sigh. Sharmili went downstairs to stow away the cleaning supplies. Her heart was beating fast and she felt the heat of her cheeks. Why was Aditya always acting that strange? And why did she always blush? She hated this reaction of hers but she couldn’t help it. He was so damn handsome and when he looked at her with his honey brown eyes and his strange expression her head became empty and the only thing her body was able to do was blushing. Sighing she leaned against the wall behind her and closed her eyes to calm herself down. When she opened them again her gaze fell on her watch. When she saw what time it was she startled and ran to her room to fetch her bag and sallied to pick up Tanay from school. Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
