Chapter 353

Everything around her was very simple but very satisfying. It showed how much he cared for her and it made it even difficult for her to even begin the topic that she had wanted to discuss. She simply loved the lasagna. It was just impeccably delicious. She savored every bit of it. He looked at her and asked sipping his wine, "You really like my lasagna. I could see that it your eyes. I am so glad that it was not a disaster. I have to thank my sister for her recipe. She makes this to get some vegetables into my niece as she is a very picky eater. I like it too. But since you seem to enjoy it so much then this must definitely calls for celebration" Before he could finish his sentence the recorder on the TV turned on. Akshar immediately said, "Oh! I completely forgot. Good thing I set everything up ahead of time." He looked at Diya and continued, "My sister has gone to London for a wedding. She wanted to see this movie, so asked me to record it and gave me the time and details for recording. I was not sure if I was going to be home at this time so I set everything up ahead of time so that it would be recorded automatically." Diya asked "what is the name of the movie?" He replied, "I am not sure. I think it is something like, Wedding date or Wedding signer... not sure. Something with wedding in it. I think Debra Messing stars in it. My sister loves her." Diya said, "Can you turn it on. Maybe we can watch while eating." He got up and went ahead and the TV came to life. He came back and joined her. She was not really interested in the movie but wanted to steer the conversation into a different direction and hoped it would help her open the topic in her mind. She also realized that the more she delays the more difficult it was going to be. At the same time she couldn't bring up the topic abruptly.

In order to discuss something and keep the conversation going and to find an opening for her to talk she asked Akshar, "Can you give me the recipe? This is really good". He said, "Sure. It is very simple and easy and is figure friendly too." Akshar asked, "So tell me how the past few weeks have been with you brother? You must be enjoying his company. You must have missed him a lot? Diya said, "To tell you the truth I didn't realize I had missed him until he came back. He had a surprise for me. He is getting married." Akshar, "That is wonderful. So you will be helping him with his wedding plans and you are probably going to have a lot on your plate." Diya smiled and said, "I am not sure about that but I would be glad to help. His fiancée Kathy is from China and is very traditional. So I am not sure what their plans are." Akshar got up with his plate and walked towards the kitchen sink talking, "Interesting. Very interesting." Diya joined him and they continued their conversation while washing their hands. Diya had her juice and Akshar took a glass of water and they both sat on the couch. Their conversation continued and she told him about Kathy and her brother and how they met and how it was a surprise to her when they told her that they were getting married. Akshar said, "I would love to meet you brother. From what you say he seems to be a very interesting man." In the mean time Diya had shifted her concentration on to the TV and was watching the movie. Diya said, "I think I have seen this movie." Debra Messing was leaning on a car and the guy she had hired to be her boyfriend for her sister's wedding asks her to close her eyes and says something and says you will feel it. She opens her eyes and says he was worth the money he paid for him. Diya laughed and said, "This is so stupid." Akshar said, "What is?" Diya said, "You can't feel things like that. Just because he looks cute doesn't mean you can make someone feel something. This is actually funny." Akshar said, "That is not so true. Earlier just dimming the light played tricks on you. You can play tricks on your mind. Just like the movie, you can make one feel something even though it is not there."
