Finding us

Chapter 77

"So, how are things?" Priya's eyes twinkled with mischief.

"Not bad..." Dharam nodded, his lips tugging into an unintentional smile.

"Achcha.. how not bad?" Priya smirked.

They were standing near the drinks table and Priya was pouring a glass of mocktail for him.

Though Dharam was her patient, he hadn't ever spoken about Tara during their sessions. The change of course was very much visible in him - influence of Tara!

He smiled more often and he looked so relieved now a days... Not at all like the Dharam she'd met few months ago!

"Work is going fine.. and um.." Dharam trailed off, clearing his throat and shooting a furtive glance towards Tara.

"How are things with Tara?" Priya grinned, making him smile shyly now.

"We went to my shooting club on Wednesday.." he smiled brightly.

Priya nodded, looking expectantly at him.

"..and Rohan called today... so I picked her up.." he trailed off.

But Priya's eyes went wide with shock.

"That's... It?" She blinked.

Dharam frowned but nodded.

Priya continued to blink.

She didn't understand. Rohan had found every excuse to meet her every day after their explosive meet the first time!

But what is Dharam doing?

"You talk to her regularly, don't you?" Priya asked hopefully.

But Dharam blinked this time.

"Talk to her?" He frowned.

"You call her... Text her... Regularly.. right?"

"Um..."

"Okay please tell me you text or call her as much as possible??"

"I... I haven't done any of this before Priya... I don't know how..."

"What the heck Dharam??" Priya crossed her arms across her chest, glaring at the man.

"I don't know what to talk about! I.. what if I end up being nosy? Or if I end up irritating her by contacting her regularly??" Dharam asked, looking slightly worried.

"What? Who told you that?" Priya narrowed her eyes.

"Nobody! I just... Figured it out... And even Rohan didn't say anything about calling every day!" He frowned.

"C'mon Dharam!" Priya facepalmed herself.

"Okay tell me what I should do??" He looked desperate.

"You like her right?" Priya asked.

Though his eyes went wide at the sudden and blatant question, blood rose up his ears and his cheeks and he nodded.

"So talk to her everyday... Call her or at least text her.. let her know that you're thinking about her!" Priya smiled.

Dharam bit his lip.

"What if I'm disturbing her?" He looked rather worried.

"If you matter, then she won't find you disturbing! And call her during those odd times... Like after dinner time... Or morning on your way to work... "

"..and... What do I talk?"

"Normal stuff.. if you're calling in the morning, ask her if she slept well, or what she had for breakfast... And you can wish her a good day too! If you're calling at night, ask her what she did that day... What she had for dinner... Normal stuff Dharam!"
