"Curry with strawberries? Will you eat this with rice?"

Kiran was surprised.

"This is Anu's favorite food. Her own invention. She will make something like this after considering the tastes of the tourists who come here."

Archana told Kiran.

Kiran took a spoonful of strawberries and ate them. His eyes widened.

"Hmm..no offense. It has taste."

Kiran ate them again and again. Anu smiled from behind the door.

Another day, she made something like this with ripe mangoes. It had a taste better than strawberries.

"Mango is tastier than strawberry. But I liked strawberries. When I see them, it reminds me your red lips when I first met you."

Kiran told her without anyone hearing them. She quickly ran away in the heat of the moment and hid.

As they got into the car after buying strawberries and mangoes from the shop and waited in the traffic block, Kiran recalled the first time she had seen Anu.

Kiran also studied in the same school as Anu and Anand. Kiran was in Anand's batch. But Anand never paid attention to Kiran because he was in a different class. Although Kiran was good at studies, he did not have any extracurricular activities. But Anu was not like that. Anand also sang well. Both of them were heroes in school.

The day of the youth festival at school. Kiran was studying in class 12 at the time. Kiran heard a loud scream from the girls' dressing room.

"Amma..cockroach..cockroach..."

Screaming like this, a beautiful girl wearing a red Bharatanatyam dress, with red strawberry lips and a chirping gungroo on her feet, ran towards Kiran. Kiran looked at her without a blink.

She passed him and ran towards someone. When Kiran looked, she was hugging a boy. It was Anand. Although Anand did not know Kiran, Kiran knew Anand. But Kiran did not know that the beautiful girl who had run away was Anand's sister. Therefore, when Kiran saw Anand hugging her, the first feeling he felt was jealousy. He did not understand why he felt that way.

"Nandetta, there's a cockroach in the dressing room. I'm afraid to go there."

Anand hugged her and comforted her.

“Don't be afraid, let's kill cockroach."

Finally, in that dance costume, she hugged Anand again and went to the dressing room in front of Kiran. Kiran stood guard outside until they came out. A twinge of fear ran through his mind. Kiran didn't know that Anu and Anand were siblings. Kiran was worried that Anand might misbehave with her in the dressing room.

After a while, He heard the name Anamika Menon through the speaker. Anand came out with Anu.

Kiran watched her dancing on stage, breathless. That's when Kiran noticed Anand also watching her.

He showed Anand to the boy standing nearby.

"Oh, I saw that dancing girl and that guy enter the dressing room together."

Hearing that, the boy laughed.

"Oh, that's Anamika, she is Anand’s sister. What will happen to us if they both enter the dressing room?"

Kiran was shocked. However, he felt a great relief when he learned that Anand was Anu's brother.

In the following days, whenever Kiran got time, he would come to Anu's class and stare at her without her knowing. He would hide near the window where she was sitting and look through the gap.
