64 Busy days (2/2)
”Yes I may need you. I'll let you know now go search for your record”
”When I'm talking to you romantically, you'll push me away” he held her hand tightly.
”Hey Amma came... Leave” she said looking at the door. He panicked, left her hand and turned towards the door immediately. There was no one at the door. She chuckled.
”Oh this is not fair. You shouldn't be so rude to me” he said.
Narmada walked in to the door saying ”Punya, see you've left a record between the newspaper”.
”Aunty let me have a look” said Thrishul.
”No Amma, don't give. By the way, why did you check the newspaper bundle??” Punya frowned.
”This is my record, so you hid it under the newspaper?”
”No, you must've left on the table. Grandpa might have mixed with newspaper”
”Don't bring Grandpa into this, confess it is your prank” he said holding her ear.
”No I'm innocent” she said. He twisted her ears little.
”Amma, see ma, how rude he's. He left record carelessly at college. Now he's blaming me”.
”Aunty her friend was looking at it, I thought anyways she's there, so she might bring it back safely. Now she's wasted all my time for searching” he blamed.
”As if I'm your secretary, will collect everything you leave behind” she said pushing his hand away.
”Your petty fights never end” said Narmada and walked away nodding her head sideways.
”You're not my secretary, my everything. My soul, my heart beat, my love, my dream....” he went on and on.
”My subordinate, my servant etc etc... Now go study...May be you'll waste your time” she said interrupting him.
”You shouldn't interrupt me when I'm speaking my feelings” he said.
”You don't have time for them, go study doctor Thrishul” she said pushing him away.
”Ok, tomorrow our classmates are planning for outing, if interested let me know” he said.
She just nodded.
”We're going hiking, camping and stuff like that. Call me” he said walking out to the hall.
”Where are you planning???” asked Varun who came into the house from work.
”Uncle up the mountain for hiking and camping. Tomorrow we don't have college, so we friends have planned. There are girls too in our team” he said.
”Oh well, if she's interested, you can take her. But be careful. Those places are little dangerous” he warned.
”Sure Uncle, I will” he said.
”Punya will you go?” asked Narmada.
”I'm not sure. Thought of going to farmland tomorrow” she said.
Anger swept on Thrishul's face as farmland visit means visit to Prakruth's farms too. He controlled his anger and asked her calmly ”Every time you get holiday, you go there. This time please join us for a change”.
”Yes baby, what he says is right. Next weekend you can go to the farm. Now you explore this trip” said Varun.
”Ok count me in” she agreed as her father insisted.
”Hurray. Thanks Uncle, thanks Aunty” said Thrishul and danced away.
Varun exhaled deeply and said ”Little actions give a lot of happiness in single souls like him”
Punya started thinking about Thrishul.
