Third person
Jaanu saw the person she despised or even, not so loved, after a decade. Since that formidable incident she grew prone to some sort of hatred. The point of which is still unknown to her. She was so blinded by that, she did not even realise her original feeling
Her heart went through uneven palpitations. It was extremely unhealthy. It gets into a bittersweet trance as he is around.
This had never been the feeling when her current fiancee was around.
" How are you" His mellow voice brought her out if this trance.
" It's ... Umm going great I suppose " She stuttered.
She mentally slapped herself for doing so. He was standing right in front of her. She was supposed to invite him in and show respect as to a guest. Her inner adamant chauvinist is screaming to slap the murderer in front of her eyes.
It's as though her heart has a different level of dominance over her actions and allows her to sink in these emotions.
"Let's get inside" She says and they go inside.
Little did they know that they were being watched by a lot of her family members
"It's been 10 years" He says as they walk through the corridor.
" Yes crazy indeed" He says
A looming silence envelopes them.
They walk to the corner of the corridor .
"This is your room" Says Jaanu, as she opens the door and let's him inside
Ram literally throws the bag into the bed and goes outside.
Jaanu follows him. He goes to the terrace.
"Great that you still remember this place." She says
"Can't possibly forget the place that gave you much needed warmth" He says so softly that her heart had that very same Uneven palpitations.
"Oh I see" She trails off
"Looks like you've changed a lot in these years. Not the person who'd always give the other one a piece of her heart, you seem to mostly care about others" He says
" What rubbish is this even, I've called you to my marriage, not to backbite my family " She retorts gingerly
"How can i possibly bite the back of those who stabbed me right there" He says
"You... " She starts and is interrupted by Jayasree running into the terrace
"Chechi.. Jay bava is calling you" She pants and looks upto to Rama
"And hello to you too" She adds dryly
"Tell him that I'll come in a while"
"Nooo you have to go now" She screeches
"Shit" Jaanu mumbles and goes, followed by Jayu
" Cockblocker much" Says Ramachandra to himself as he looks up at the night sky smiling to himself as he achieved something
