Anish anna !!!

I wipe off the sweat in scare that how anna will react now...

" Amma ... where's sweetie... ? Can you pack Granny's breakfast? I will go to hospital after dropping sweetie at home.."

He speaks from the gate , looking for sweetie inside...

Anish anna stays at the next street with his family...

" If only I go to hospital , appa can come home... he's so tired... Let him take rest..."

Anna washes his hands and feet in the portico tap..

Grabbing the towel from amma , he wipes off his face...

" Granny wanted to meet you amma. Eve..."

His talk stops suddenly as he sees Shravan in the living room..

He eyes amma and Divya akka inquisitive..

" Anish... how's granny now ?"

Divya akka moves near Amma , giving way for Anna to sit ...

" She's good akka..." Replying , he sits just opposite to Shravan...

Until now , Shravan sits quiet , observing Anna's confusion..

Anna gauges Shravan and fails to recognize.. He turns to amma and lifts his brows to ask - who's he?

Amma turns to Shravan to introduce him to anna...

Shravan gestures her that he will take care of this...

There is a deep silence in the living room...

My breath turns out heavy to witness the silence. I presume the next moment to be terrific and my throat parches in terror..

Out of all these , shravan seems to be cool.. He exchanges his coffee mug to his left hand and gets up...

Smiling , he extends his other hand to anna...

" Hello anna...! How are you..?"

He gently begins the conversation..

Still , Anna can't identify Shravan...

" Hope you remember me... Shravan ???!!!"

The moment he says , I stop breathing...my chest turns heavy in hurt..

God... Please... Let everything be alright!!!

I plead God until I see Anna's reaction...

" Shravan ..?!"

Anna shrinks his brows... Doubts knot in his forehead..

" Hey .... Shravan?!"

He identifies shravan and shouts his name.. The next moment , his face blooms into a cheerful smile , excited..

"Ohho... You have grown up real...ly high!!!"

Anna mocks Shravan by comparing his height with Shravan's...

Anna extends his hand to reach Shravan's head . But , Shravan tip toes to increase his height even more...

How much ever Anna tries , he can't touch Shravan's head..

When Anna gives up his try , Amma laughs out...

At one point , shravan leans to him so that Anna can touch his head easily...

Anish anna punches Shravan playfully and hugs him...

" I can't believe... Shravan , you were a little boy who always hesitate and scare for almost each and everything.. Now , look at you... You're a man .. I can't believe even now..."

Anish anna sits beside Shravan...

" Amma... Coffee..."

He asks for coffee ...and , turns at the upstairs...

" Suman... "

He calls me and turns to Shravan...

" Shravan... Luckily Suman has come from Paris... Did you see her? What did she say..? You both were best friends ... Suman is doing her higher studies in Paris.. She fought with appa to go there..."

I sigh in relief that the most scarry incident turns to jovial one...

I bring the coffee tray to living room.. Keeping it on the table , I turn to leave.....

" Hey... Suman... Did you see Shravan..? "

I nod simply yes to Anna's question..

Noticing my good girl appearance , Anna smirks...

" Shravan... Don't think that she has become calm and quiet .. She's just pretending to be a good girl infront of you.. she's the same naughty talkative Suman... Infact , she's a fighter cock.."

Shravan smiles to Anna's words..

The way he shrinks his eyes while smiling teases me...

I lean to anna, smiling sheepishly..

" Anna... Stop it... Don't embarrass me..."

I whisper to him where everyone burst into laughter...

" By the way Shravan , what are you doing now ? "

Anna begins to enquire..

Men's talk!!!

I slip to upstairs in a thought that I shouldn't be there ...I feel the peace after seeing anna and shravan talking casually...

Thank God !!!

I sit in the couch but my ear is at the living room to listen them speaking.

They're talking not much but generally..

Shravan tells him about his job, carefully avoiding where he's residing at present..

Soon , they both exchange ideas on business , stock market and so on . At times , the talk turns intense

" Anish... Granny's breakfast is ready.."

I hear amma's call , where Anna wind up the conversation as he has to go to the hospital.

" Anish.. Vikki is here.. sweetie can play with him.. I will tell Suman to drop her.."

Anna nods to amma... He gets up with a sigh..

" Shravan... Take rest... I will come soon.."

He gives a descent handshake to Shravan before leaving..

I lean on the couch relaxed...

" Suman..." I jerk to amma's call..

I peep from upstairs..." Tell me Amma"

" Let shravan freshen up... I will prepare lunch.. "

Uttering in loud voice at me , Amma ushers Shravan to upstairs... She calls Divya akka for the second hand in cooking...

Shravan steps up the stairs asif he never knows me...

I gulp to surpass the hard lump in my throat..

I pout at Divya akka who winks at me mischievously from the back of my mother...

I move aside the door to let him inside...

I stand at safe distance and point the washroom...

He stand , crossing his hands to his chest...

Naughty smirk plays in his lips...

I arch my brows to him , what ?!

He jerks his shoulders to mean - nothing..

His eyes roam over me , with abundant love... I will say , love and lust is equally played in his demeanor...

Honestly , if a man wants you , you won't have to ask for effort. He will make time for you , he will call you amidst his tight work . At least he will manage to text you to make you comfortable..

No man is too busy for a woman he truly wants..!!!

And , shravan ... He is my man .... He is here for me... I don't know how he has managed to come to India... Definitely , he must've compromised his job schedule to come here...

This thought , the risk he has taken to visit me , melts me inside..

I begin to reciprocate his love, by staring into his eyes...
