A Gentle Breeze Of Love

Thikshitha

The little boy has grown up now. My heart flutters as I watch the group dance performance of Vicky in the university auditorium. Students were cheering excitedly and I, in the corner of the third row, sat quiet, admiring the boy I had raised.

Hm, and let me tell you, he is dancing to the Remo song from the anniyan movie right now and oh, I can smell the burning of girls' hearts for him. He has on a black button-up shirt and white slacks... looking as If 'beautiful' and 'handsome', have shaken hands.

The highlight is, however, his hair! It's silky thick and is bouncing around with him. Eventually, after another ten minutes, their performance reaches the end and I clap merrily.

While I proceed on watching the upcoming performances, Vicky contacts me. I attend his call, and soon his voice seeps into my ear. "Where are you Thikki? Did you really attend the function? I can't find you..." He trails off, listening to the cheers rosing on my side. Now he must be sure that I'm here.

"Thikki... behind the auditorium. Be there in ten minutes," huh? "Ordering me around?" I ask in a stern tone. "Please madam Ji, be there in ten minutes, will you?" His requesting voice bloomed a smile on my face.

"Why should I be there?" He smacks his head, resonating a tiny sound but nevertheless replies. "I told you right that I will be proposing to the girl I like" Oh of course he did. But what is my use there? It should be done privately.

"Er...then do it. Why am I needed there anyway? After the success or rejection of your proposal, just make sure to introduce that girl to me." I mutter and he groans, painfully. "Thikki, I'm nervous. I haven't done this before. I need to acquire your support you know.." I thought for a minute before responding.

"Where are your friends?" He huffs on the other side. "They are busy. And besides that, I would feel more positive in your presence. Lent me some confidence Thikki thus I can let the girl I love know she is loved by this incredible guy that is Vicky!" I chuckle at his words but needless to say, I agree to his pleadings and stroll out of the auditorium.

Few people have occupied the sides and face of the auditorium, and the night has set in, bestowing job to the LED lights. While I start to saunter to the behind of the hall, someone stopped me with their calling. "Akka..(elder sister)!" I twirl around and face Kirti who looks anxious as hell.

"Hey...how are you? And why do you look so damn stressed?" She fidgets her fingers at my query. "Akka, Vicky...I love him" wow, what a surprising news. I guessed it long back! But wait a minute, why is she suddenly informing this to me?

And again wait, is there any chance that the girl Vicky is about to propose is Kirti? Moreover, I remember very well that he had denied my question of the girl being Kirti though.

"Yes?" I drag the word and she sighs. "Shall I propose to him?" Why are you asking me this question girlie? "Ahm. If you want so, you should do.." I say, and she nods.

"I just need your assurance Akka. I know you are the only family important to him so I thought I must have your permission before approaching Vicky. " Oh, that's reasonable.

"Bye, then Akka.." she smiles and skids to the behind of the huge hall and I look at her pathetically. Vicky will surely hurt her heart. Poor thing. Ah Thikshitha, you should not let him humiliate her or something. Though I'm sure he won't do such things.

If he doesn't like her (that I well know is to be true) he should reject her politely.

Apparently, my mind suggested I go and eavesdrop and peek into their interaction which I did with utmost tentativeness cause I know I'm here invading people's privacy.
