I snigger to the texts we share ...To be honest , I wish he could join me. He is stuck with work and can't come... The situation is clear and I understand it so well ...Even after this ,I play with words , constantly mentioning that I am angry with him , like a kid...

That's true...I feel like behaving kiddish with Shravan... I don't know why I strongly believe that he's going to tolerate all my adamant , idiotic deeds...

well , there's difference between behaving childish and behaving kiddish !!!

I rubb my hands to bring out warmth... keeping the phone in my bag I wonder to a picture that is displayed in a gift shop...

It recalls my childhood.. suddenly those two kids in the picture reminiscing us , me and my Shravan

.. I begin to feel the kid's innocent act , the saviours of the sinking stars...

I choose to buy it for Shravan... While paying money , again I call him...

I find it to be pleasure to annoy him ... The moment he takes the call ...

I say...." Shravan... I am angry with you..."

" Sam.... try to understand..."

His voice is husky that resonates his tension ..

I struggle to control my laugh and cut the call immediately...

Exactly , after ten minutes I will call him again to say that I am still angry with him...

I smile secretly...

My mind leaps in joy though I know it to be indecent to trouble him..Then to ,I like it...

I grab the gift wrapped picture .. I roam around to purchase few things.. Now , I feel boring...

I shall call him now...I search my mobile in my bag ...

Suddenly I feel warmth at my back... My senses alert me that someone is behind me... I try to turn behind ... Before that , he cooes in my ears....

" Surprise....!"

I jerk in shock and reciprocate his side hug...

" Shravan...I am scared that someone is behind me.... "

He shrinks his brows. " Who will stalk you when I am here..."

I punch his arm..." Oh... Shravan...stop behaving childish..."

He collects my shopping bags " Sam there's a difference between behaving kiddish and behaving childish ... And ,you can't show your nonsense side to everyone you meet in life..."

He looks into my eyes to mean his words..

I press my lips..." True..."

I check the time and roll my eyes...

" So... Mr.workaholic!? Why did you come here now...?"

He coughs deliberately to delay his answer..

I enjoy his state ..

Why the hell I am behaving like a girl friend...?

Suddenly ,the mature part of me asks... Immediate consciousness grow in me where I try to avoid the situation...

" Shravan... I am hungry..."

He pinches my nose... " Shall we go to the night cafe?"

Recalling the night we laugh..

We lounge at an ice cream parlour... He orders the tower of icecreams exactly the way I wish...

I am awestruck ....

" What? When I saw you for the very first time , you're eating ice cream ...no wonder I knew your way of enjoying it..."

He knocks at my head playfully...

I sqeeze my eyes out of joy... He chooses the window side seats ..I relish the scenes through the window and begin to have the icecream...until I complete mine ,he doesn't disturb me... He is looking something over his phone . Then ..smiling , he makes a call...

His face brightens while speaking over the phone...

" Who's that?" I ask...

" My friend... She is now in India... I am speaking with her almost after six months..."

She?!?!

I arch my brows ..." Who's that - she ?"

He bursts into gales of laughter....

" She was pregnant when I met her last time.. now , she's a mother of a three year old kid..."

I curl my lips... " Who cares ?" Words fall out instantly ...

" My Sam... Woman are woman... I understand... I like that possessiveness..."

Mischief burns in his eyes...

" Shravan... " I push him to the exit to conceal my embarrass...

The Cinema hall plays Indian movies and we choose to see a movie that afternoon ...The problem is , I prefer Tamil movie and he wants Hindi movie...

" Sam... Are we going to see the movie ? Or ,we are going to sit like this"

I throw a determined look.. " Shravan... it's final...Tamil movie... "

" Hindi" he reaffirms...

I huff out loud... Then , idea clicks in me...

" Shravan... Why don't we go for any other language ?"

" What ? We should understand atleast the language...you know?"

I cluck..." Subtitles will be there shravan..we will go for a different language movie... that's the good idea.. "

I pull him to the digital display... Surfing through the languages I click the movie " V" , a Telugu movie...

" Hey.. what's this ..the title itself is not appealing.. "

He denies..

" Shravan... Reviews are very good Shravan.. "

" Reviews... ?! Do you still believe the stars and reviews ?!"

He gets a chance to mock me...

" Really the movie is good it seems Shravan.. "

I insist.... He buys the tickets on my request to the movie..

Actually I don't know Telugu but have seen few movies of the actor... The movie is a thriller... Whenever there's a cruel murder on the screen ,I glasp his elbow to hide my face.. He is engrossed with the movie where he doesn't mind my scare... At times ,he patts my cold hands ...

When we come out ,he has become the fan of the actor . ... He keeps on appreciating the cinematography and the storyline...

"Enough Shravan... I don't like the movie"

I stop him...

" Sam... actually the movie is the correct blend of romance and thriller... There are flaws still it's a good movie"

I nod..." Shravan ...resign your job and write movie reviews. "

" Seems good idea.... But ,I need you to suggest about the Google reviews and stars..."

He teases me , where I punch his arms to stop...

🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹

When he drops me at the apartment , it is almost dusk...

" Shravan... You were in your work..I have disturbed you..."

He cut me at mid way..

" Who said I took off for you... I am not feeling well .. that's why I took an off..."

He winks , drawing his lips in a pout..

" Lier.. " I nod...

" Okay Sam... I have to complete the left over works by morning... Shall I go now ?!"

I stand quiet , staring at the ground..

He switch off the engine and get down from his bike...

" Sam... Is there anything that disturbs you. ?"

He lifts my face to look at him... I resists which made him tensed...

He cups my face and leans down to read me...

" Sam ? "

" Shravan... Will you join me for dinner too?"

I am so hesitating to ask this...

He breaths out audible... " I was scared... If you invite me I will come to hell with you... Why not for the dinner..? Where are we going for the dinner?"

He is so truthful from his heart.. I am really overwhelmed with his gesture...

I raise my eyes to show my apartment...

He shakes his shoulders ," with pleasure..."

He joins me to my apartment ...
