Sashi is reluctant and little tensed to attend to his phone call at this unusual time. It stopped ringing, when he reached to it. It was his father, who called him after a bad sleep, worrying about his innocent son and dreaming that all the girls in the world are after Sashi, trying to trap him, but he doesn’t know, for what exactly, they are after his son. Sashi calls his father back. His father, with not-so-happy voice, receives the call and inquires about the last night call. Sashi, who is not prepared to lie, mumbles for a moment and says, that was just his colleague and they were discussing about some problem. Sashi’s father, who is not so stupid to believe all he said, tells him, ‘I know what it is. Listen, I will never approve anything of this sort. But you can continue, if you don’t want to care for us.’ Sashi is shocked, but happy for he expected much more intense scene when his father gets to know about this. From then on, his father takes 1-hour brain wash session, every time Sashi goes home. With this, the super-sharp and witty Sashi, has lost his charm and is always worried with something or the other. He could only enjoy the office hours where he will not get time to think of his father or Pranathi. In the night, he will talk to his father first to make sure that he will not call again while he talks to Pranathi.
All the while, he only knows that he is not happy at all as one in love should be. He calls Pranathi, just because he thinks, he should. He feels, he is responsible to make her happy for once he felt, he loved her and confessed the same to her. He fears, backing away at this moment will make him look down at himself. He is not able to revive the excitement, he felt when he saw her for the first time.
On the contrary, Pranathi feels being love makes her stronger and happier. She thinks, love is a booster and she could do anything. It really shows on her. From the day, she found herself in love, she turned talkative and friendly with all around, though she had once been tagged reticent and closemouthed. She is doing everything with so much ease and at times, she is self-surprised. Her friends suspect that it is not Pranathi but someone else. Every day, she wakes up with a good feeling of being better than yesterday. Specially, when she found herself mistaken for the presumptions she made about her own parents. She thought, they were dogmatic and unfriendly and don’t even allow her to make her own hair style, for which she is so fascinated. But recently with her freedom and choice retained to herself, she understands that they aren’t any orthodox kind, but just had been parents with usual protective nature with teenagers.
She thanks Sashi, because of whom, she gets to know how beautiful life is. She decides never to hurt him not just because she is in love with him, but for some special feeling which she would have, even if she isn't in love with him.
Author's note: Chaitanya and Nashi, both of you wrote very well. I don't want to keep your comments in the back page, I will use them soon in this story (as is) with your courtesy. Santhi, I am happy and lil' shy to know that you do read my posts.
