Srishti had met Haritha again as she wanted to thank her for giving her the address at the correct time, Haritha understood the little one as she conveyed her thanks for being there for her son.
But that wasn't the worst part, it was when she had mentioned that he had been his solace after his previous girlfriend left this earth. Srishti was still trying to wrap her around the same.
Who was she ? What happened to her?
Srishti fumbled her way through the corridors to meet him as he had called her with all these disturbing thoughts in her mind, she tried her best to put on a smile and act like nothing happened,
'You- you called for me?' Srishti made her way inside his classroom with slow steps, eyeing him with so many questions, questions she ached to ask him, questions that left her pondering for a long time making her feel like she was dreading Rebecca, the illusion being a silent protagonist.
Srishti let her oscillations go for a moment when she met his eyes,
' Here, have this ' his soft smiles made her heart skip multiple beats at once as she took the coffee cup from his extended palms,
'En- enna ..erm..thidirnu?' she managed to ask him, covering her nose with the cup. Adhiran chuckled, looking at his girl,
His eyes aimlessly wandered from her beautiful big eyes, her small nose and her plumpy lips that the coffee had the pleasure of capturing that very moment, her swan like neck, bare without any accessory.
He made up his mind to gift her one.
His eyes continued thier exploration around her slim waist that played hide and seek behind her Dhavani, Adhiran sighed again, entranced by her entirely. Adhiran felt like Romeo, the reckless swain from verona, who swooned over his Juliet like a passionate pilgrim and calmed himself. Perhaps his silence would make her uncomfortable,he thought,
Only if she knew how she haunted his dreams every single night,
' Onnu illa ma.. ennoda gatti thangatha kalailernthu paakala.. atha.. he licked his lips once before murmuring, ' ipdi oru ponna pakathula vechitu epdida ivlo naala nallavana iruntha?'
'Ohh.. athu..classes naala dha.. ungla paaka vara mudila, sorry ma' she mumbled slowly and he sighed, wanting to hold her hand and comfort her, he looked at her one more time before taking a step closer,
' You don't have to apologise,My darling ' his fingers traced her chin softly, making her look at him, ' It'd have been so hard, if you had showed up earlier looking like an angel' his warm breath tickled her pinna as he took in her redolence, controlling himself as he restricted his wandering eyes to her own,
Her eyne, they were figments of all of Donne 's fascinating descriptions,
'Pu- purila..' she gulped, trying to find her voice,
' Onnu illa ma.. ne coffee kudi.. ' he smiled easing her spirits and asked,
'Enkita edha sollanuma?' Adhiran asked, wondering why she hardly spoke to him,
'Athu.. she stretched and Adhiran had the pleasure of watching her biting her rosy lips, yearning to be the privileged one,' Na.. unga kooda unga apartment ku varatuma?..
Konja neram.. athu.. namba.. '
' Kootitu poda nu sollu.. Idhenna thayakam enkita..' he lifted her chin to look into her eyes and she nodded, unable to say anything,
