Little Hearts

Chapter - 21

|| feelings mutual?||

Shravas without knowing has sent an 'I love you along with his message to his love. Before sending he didn't think much about how she will react but after he has sent, he started sweating and feeling nervous all of a sudden.

He has always mentioned him falling for her through his messages but never have dared to write it to the point. He is in his room, staring at his ceiling laying lazily in his comfy bed.

'oh God, how would have she reacted? I mean what would have been her facial expressions when she read those magical words? Did she feel happy? Or did she regret being friends with me? Oh God, it's irritating now. I shouldn't have sent her that. Now see, I am sweating and thinking about all the negative things that may go to happen in the future.' he murmured to himself.

He got up from the bed and gulped a glass of water out of anxiety. He took out his mobile and adjusted himself along the headboard.

'should I send her a message again?' he thought mentally.

'I am soon gonna propose to her and make her mine. I don't want to lose her and she has struggled a lot in her life. I won't let her do that anymore.' he said to himself

Shravas was a nervous wreck but on the other side, Lasya was cool and was now sipping her hot chocolate while watching a TV show along with her Ritchie.

Suddenly, her tv show had a kissing scene and it made her think about her secret admirer.

'oh God, he loves me, and what about me? Do I deserve him? I don't know anything about relationships. Cause I never had anyone. How am I supposed to know whether he is genuinely in love with me? Or what if he is interested in my body? Oh God, I don't want to be heartbroken even if it's my first time. Cause, I heard it's unforgettable. I do like him cause he was the only one there to support me emotionally but, I shouldn't increase his hopes. Yes, I think I should do this.' she mentally made up her mind.

Lasya finished her hot chocolate and soon went inside her room to get her mobile. She is free now cause she has already quit the job and completed all her college work. She is enjoying her weekend relaxing at her home playing with Ritchie and watching her tv shows.

"Hey Admirer, hope you are fine. Yes, I would like to meet you and I have something to say which is very important"

Lasya clicked on her sent button and sighed heavily.

Shravas couldn't believe what he saw in his message box. He was on cloud nine after all why will he not be? Cause his love has agreed to meet him.

But that thought soon made him nervous. Shravas couldn't think how she will take it when she comes to know that it was him, her secret admirer. He also knew she will have an outburst or maybe a panic attack for the fact he was hiding this fact for along. She might call him a coward or maybe a liar or a cheater. He welcomes all her anger but couldn't let himself digest the fact he is going to meet her soon. He thought for a while and started typing a message.

"My little hearts,
I am glad you want to meet me. But what is that very important thing to tell? You can trust me. I will never hurt you in any way. I will think about our meet-up and message you the details. Your admirer"

Lasya had a smile reading the message.

"It's just that I don't know whether I deserve you or not. You don't know anything about me. If you come to know, I am sure you will never want to meet me. Also, I do like you. Maybe not in that way, heck... I don't know about love but yes, I do like you. It's not a strong feeling since Love is something that has to build up with trust and honesty. So I guess let's give it for the benefit of the doubt."
