♡︎Tarun's Pov♡︎

Maha

Her name is beautiful,

Just like her...

God! Please someone just pull out my brain and wash these sinful thoughts away. She is a kid. I shouldn't be thinking like this about her. I don't even understand what's wrong with me.

"Don't you talk like that Reena!! It's a god's name" who is this defender, "Dhruv!" I stood up from my chair and we exchanged a manly hug. "You said you wouldn't come here..." Reena anxiously stared up at her elder brother Dhruv.

"Well, It's my sister's birthday, how would I miss it" he winked at Aadhya who smiled widely. "You have two loving brothers, I'm doomed" Richard uttered with a horrified expression making us all chuckle at him. "Of course, but only If you hurt my sister" Dhruv chuckled at Richard.

"You look so exhausted Dhruv, did you have dinner?" Yamu amma gave a narrowed eyes look to him and he quickly sat beside Reena to have food. "That's a good decision" Amma nodded with a smile.

While we resumed eating again, I prayed that noone should again discuss about Maha. And of course, vice versa to my wish the great Dhruv chirped in"So who is Maha?" I paused eating. "Tarun's girlfriend" Richard spoke, stuffing his mouth with food. How I wish to punch him straight across his mouth. Shit.

"Really Tarun?" Dhruv questioned. "No, She is just my good friend" I shrugged. I stared up at Yamu amma and she has a small smile playing on her lips while dad didn't even bother to look up from his food. He was so engrossed in eating. "Just friends?" Rahul uncle quirked his eyebrow at me and I scowled. Why is noone believing me!

"You say we're just friends but friends don't know the way you taste la-la-la.." Richard sang with a smirk. Oh, come on! "Oh my god, I love this song" Aadhya and Reena beamed and began singing along with him "cause you  know it's been a long time coming, don't you let me fall ohh.." am I the only one who is getting irritated with their song.

"Ooh, when your lips undress me, hooked on your tongue-- My dad choked on his food upon hearing those words resulting in the young singers zipping up their mouths instantly. Dhruv and I snickered at Rahul uncle's gaze at Reena. He was glancing at her like 'what did you just say?'. It's getting too funny to look at everyone's face. And just like that with all our giggling and silly jokes, the dinner came to an end.

I stood at the balcony of my room, ogling the moon. "Tarun" Yamu amma appeared and stood beside me. "Do you want to speak anything with me?" She questioned and I smiled down at her, wrapping my arms around her shoulder and pulling her close to me.
"Her name is Maha, she's eighteen. I met her in the village where we were working for the research."

She nodded her head and rested it on my chest. "You do what your heart says, do what you feel unless you don't hurt others." She said and I smiled down at her. My Yamu amma. Her face had slight wrinkles which remind me of how time passes in such a quick manner.

I know she is not the one who gave birth to me, but I doubt even If she can provide me the love my Yamu amma is giving me. "Don't overthink Tarun, just go to sleep" I released her from my hold. "Squat down a little," she said and I bent to her face level. She kissed my forehead and patted my head before greeting me with a good night. I said the same and watched her walk away.

Spending a few more minutes on the balcony I walked inside my room and sat on the bed. 'Scientist! ghosts reside in palm trees' I chuckled at Maha's words. She is crazy. She is occupying my thoughts so easily. Sighing I let my head fall back on the pillow and drowned myself in sleep.

On the next morning, after being done with my daily chores I walked to the living room, only to find that idiot of my friend sleepily drinking coffee. "Are you not coming for research!? I yelled at him and he lazily looked up at me. "Of course no, I have to decorate the mansion for Aadhya's birthday" I glared at him.

"You can't just skip work like that" I muttered and went to the kitchen. "I will be back Yamu amma" saying that I kissed her cheeks while she smiled. Smacking hard on Richard's head I strolled out of the mansion.

In the doorway Reena stopped me by jumping straight before me "May I accompany you, I swear I will keep you entertained" she grinned. "No thanks," I gently moved her from my way and entered inside my car.

Keep me entertained? There is already someone who has my interest. Okay, wait. I really did think that. Do what you feel. I shook my head and drove off to the village.

"Good morning Scientistaeee!" Here comes Maha. "Your friend didn't come today also?" She asked, walking beside me to the field. "Yes," I said and she nodded. "So where are we gonna do research today?" She excitedly looked up at me and my lips tugged up involuntarily.

See, even my lips are not cooperating with my brain, everything is under the control of my heart. This is something I don't appreciate.

"Well there" I pointed to a particular spot and she darted her eyes to look in that direction. "You be there, I will bring the equipment box" she rushed somewhere and I watched her run.

I reached the spot and within a few minutes, Maha stood in front of me with the toolbox. "Let's do the work together" she stated with a grin. I peeped at her amused as she gripped her skirt from both sides and folded it and tied a knot.

What was that? She looks kinda funny.
