When it Drizzles
24
One day, when Anu was going out, she saw Kiran's car parked on the road. Kiran stopped the car. He asked her to get in the car. She hesitated. Kiran insisted again.
"Kiranetta, I'll call my Amma and Nandettan. If I get permission, I can come with you."
Kiran laughed.
"That's my girl. Call and ask. Even if I ask for this girl, they will give you to me.”
Anu was completely embarrassed.
She called home. Anand laughed when she asked if she could get in the car with Kiran. After getting permission, Anu got into Kiran's car.
They went to a coffee shop.
"Should I consider this our first date?"
Kiran asked and Anu.
She pouted her mouth.
After talking for a while, Kiran took Anu home and left. Later, they would meet each other occasionally. Anand and Archana knew about their closeness. They had no objection to it.
Still, Anu kept her love for Kiran in her heart without telling him. She wanted to give him a surprise.
Kiran sang to Anu at night.
"I love you
Deer calf,
Give me half of your body
Give me half of your mind
Deer calf."
It is the lyrics of a famous old Malayalam movie.
"Don't turn this deer calf into a lioness."
Anu threatened Kiran.
"If I do something wrong, will you forgive me, Anu?"
Kiran asked.
"Who am I to forgive? But if you do something wrong that I cannot be forgiven, then forget me forever."
Kiran laughed after hearing what Anu said.
"My girl is Super."
They kept talking like that every night. Unknowingly, Anu got close to Kiran.
Kiran does everything Ashok needs with Anand. Kiran accompanies him to meet the lawyer and go to court. Anand needs Kiran for everything. Even though they are the same age, Anand was like an older brother to Kiran. Archana also relied on Kiran for everything. She loved Kiran like a son. Kiran returned the favor.
The day before Kiran's birthday, Anand received a phone call. It was Kiran who called. A completely panicked voice.
"Nandu, you should come to the place I tell you with Anu as soon as possible. I will send the location. Don't inform Amma. It is something that affects Anu. Amma can't bear it. Only if Anu comes with you can you know the truth. Don't be afraid. I am with you.”
Anand was completely shocked.
Anu had gone to buy a birthday gift for Kiran. She bought a maroon shirt. She smiled, imagining Kiran in that shirt. She thought about confessing her love to him tomorrow.
