Excerpt

          But Yogita knew that he was just pulling her leg as his eyes crinkled at the corners with amusement. The wicked gleam in his eyes was so comical that Yogita burst out laughing.

          He put out his right hand, palm upward and she slapped on it instinctively. As cozy as old friends. Oh, if only they could remain as just good friends, thought Yogita. Then she paled as she remembered Sharon.

          She looked at Sharon to watch her reaction. Sharon was staring unseeingly at the navy blue rug on the floor. Those cream and pink blossoms woven on it had never appeared prettier! Those green vines… Tendrils entwining around each other…. Like poison ivy! Now they appeared to be unraveling.

No Mother-in-law, Please! - Chapter 16 - An Excerpt

 

Excerpt

          “Oh come on, Yogita, I just….” He protested, stung by the sharpness in her tone.

          “Let’s not waste any more time Ritesh. I am hungry. You were supposed to treat me to lunch, remember?” she tried to make amends for her brusqueness. She got up swiftly.

           As she swayed slightly, trying to find her feet on the uneven ground, he steadied her by placing his palm against the small of her back. A frisson of excitement raced up her spine. There was some hope….

            At the restaurant, she willed herself to relax by closing her eyes and drawing in deep breaths. Ritesh observed her closely. What a beauty! Though a confused one! He quietly chuckled.

No Mother-in-law, Please! - Chapter 14 - An Excerpt

                                 

                                                               An Excerpt

         “So what do you do for a living?” Ritesh asked Yogita. He had been smitten by her as soon as he saw her. Gorgeous. Peacock-blue sari, open hair, no make-up save for some lip gloss and kohl, divine skin and figure to die for! What more could a guy ask for?

         “I have been working as a copywriter for an ad agency in Mumbai, for 3 years. I love my job and wouldn’t give it up for anything in this world!” she declared sincerely, a hint of a smile in her luminous eyes.

         “Not even for me?” he asked, daring her to refuse. He would do anything for her. Follow her to the end of the earth. Give up his life…

        “Excuse me?” she feigned surprise. She was very well-acquainted with the effect that she had on men.

         She examined him openly. He watched her as her eyes roved across his charming face taking in his well-chiseled cheekbones and chin, aquiline nose, deep-set brown eyes fringed by long lashes, bushy and long eyebrows almost meeting at the ridge of the nose, smooth, coffee-brown hair (was it out of a bottle?), his blue T-shirt clad torso rippling with muscles, long, cream, jean-clad legs that ended in open sandals showing off squeaky clean feet and long toes. He appeared as if he was into athletics and everything outdoor! Her antithesis!

         “So, do you like what you see?” he asked, as if on cue, when her gaze returned from his feet to his face and settled for a brief minute on his soft, well-chiseled, bow-shaped lips that now curled into a sardonic smile.

         Caught off-guard, she blurted out, “Um yes.  Very much!”

         He threw back his head and laughed a pleasant, full-throated laugh. “Right up my street! Yogita, I like women who can speak their mind fearlessly.”

         Now she smiled shyly at him. She shouldn’t have stared at him for so long and bluntly stated her approval of his good looks.
