Little Hearts

Chapter - 35

||Confession||

Shravas groaned and squirmed on his bed when he, all of a sudden heard his door knocking at high speed. He wondered what happened to Lasya.

"Did she wake up this early?", Shravas talked to himself; "Is she not tired at all?"

He yawned and stretched himself to look around for his cell phone, and he found it near the bed stand, lying unattended. He quickly unlocked and checked the time and to his surprise, he found out the clock had just turned 7.

'She is not an early bird, but then', he thought.

The knock on the door seems to be continuous and goes on louder until it irritates him.

"Little hearts, why are you so adamant about ruining my morning sleep?", Shravas murmured and eventually got up from the bed. He adjusted his sleepy hair while walking towards the mirror and then looked in it and adjusted his shirt and pajamas.

Then yawningly, he opened the door to get another shock of the day. His eyes widened seeing who it was in front of his room.

"Ra... Rani!" He exclaimed, not able to believe what he was seeing.

'What the hell was she doing here and that too early in the morning?', he thought irritatedly.

"Good morning Vasu", She replied in excitement.

"Why are you here? That too in the early morning. Are you okay? I mean", he didn't want to be rude, but still asked with little concern since it was just 6.30 in the morning and they had decided to meet at 10 or so for breakfast. It's three-plus hours early.

"Well, just let me in. I will tell you if that's ok", Rani shrugged and moved past him, into his room.

Shravas was not liking this wherever it was going, in the first place.

He is a nice person but will never tolerate who takes him for granted or who enters into his personal space without his interest. So, at this point, he is highly agitated and displeased by her behavior.

He even hated the moment, out of all this time, yesterday God had decided to bring her in front of, him, and that too when Lasya was happily with him. He didn't like one bit of it.

'Damn you, Rani', he thought huffing.

He didn't like the way she barged inside his room without his permission. But what can he do? She is his friend and that too meeting her after a long time. So he just kept silent bearing her for himself.

Shravas closed the door and came to stand in front of her where she was coolly sitting and smiling at him on his couch.

"So, now care enough to tell me, why are you here early in the morning?", Shravas asked crossing his arms above his chest.

Rani smiled at him and started to blush. She adjusted the strands of hair that were falling on her face and looked at him.

'What to say, Shravas. You happened', Rani thought.

"Rani, I am waiting. Care to explain, please", Shravas requested.

"Yeah, it is just that I couldn't sleep the whole night. I just wanted to be here, with you", Rani said honestly, looking at him.

Shravas knitted his brows together not able to understand what she meant.

"Rani, what do you mean? You know I don't have any feelings for you. Then what are you even implying at?", Shravas asked irritatedly and took a seat on the opposite couch.
