18 REALIZATION OF FEELINGS.... (2/2)

”Love, do I love him? I blush in his presence Siri told me a couple of times. My heart beats fast every time I see him, I feel jealous when Roshni is around him, I curse the clock as time just flies when we sit together, his looks and behavior is so enthralling....GOD I must stop this” Punya thought as she stood in her balcony watching the peaceful sky. Such peaceful sky in rainy season was rare.

”Punya...” Narmada called her from downstairs. Punya silently walked down the stairs and saw Thrishul in the hall.

”Hi Thrishul, I couldn't see you in college while coming home, where were you?” she asked.

”Hi, yeah I had been to bookstore after college. I had to buy some books, I thought this might help you” he handed over a copy of Maths ready reckoner, it had all solved problems and previous year question papers.

”Thanks, that's so sweet of you, but I need to understand the concepts right” she asked.

”That you don't ask me, I'm dumber than you” he said and burst out laughing. Varun who heard this couldn't help laughing with him.

”Oh Uncle, how are you? Thrishul asked and waved at grandparents who walked in with Varun.... Hi Ajja, Hi Ajji”.

”All good, had taken my parents for general health check up. How's college?” Varun inquired.

”So far so good, you know I'm bad at Maths similar to Punya” he chuckled.

”Try your best, we'll see what happens in near future” Varun said and headed towards his daughter ”Hi darling” he said embracing her in his arms. ”Hi Appa” she rested against him.

”Ok Uncle, I'll leave. Goodnight” Thrishul got up to leave.

”Have dinner with us....” Punya invited out of gratitude. Narmada and Varun were startled.

”No, no... Mom will be waiting, some other time Punya, Bye” He waved at everyone and left.
