Karthik

Stretching out a pretend smile on my face, I took care of the work for the upcoming engagement. I behaved as usual, cool, nonchalant, energetic, and whatnot. But there's a rigorous battle transpiring within my mind.

The only relief from this self-torment of mine was my Renu. The moment I spent with her was the only time when my worries seemed to vanish. Even though it was very limited, the soothing that my soul felt when I was with her was just...so surreal. It urged me to wonder of how Renu's presence alone could bestow me with comfort.

I didn't know she had such kinds of effects on me, and neither do I know I love her to this level.

This girl...Renu is messing recklessly with my heart without even her knowledge!!

At this point, I could never even imagine losing her. And this deadline given by my father till Ramya's marriage is straining me out of my mind.

I purposely am concealing this matter from Renu. I don't want to ruin her happiness...

Gosh, I don't know where these will end!

On the next day, the environment was bustling with people, meanwhile, me and Ryan machan was looking after the catering area. The only place where there are fewer people. However, we were called to the lounge of the house when the groom side arrived.

People around then started buzzing about how handsome and beautiful he and his sister were. I wasn't very keen on that rather was looking for Renu.

She was standing beside Ramya, and was conversing with some girls. She has worn a beautiful pink and sky-blue colored half-saree which displayed her striking exquisiteness.

I couldn't glance away from her throughout the function. When everyone was looking at the couples exchanging rings, I was still gazing at Renu.

Not even once did she peek at me!

I coughed slightly, to earn her scrutiny and I relished how her eyes danced around the crowd before settling on me. She didn't smile or anything of that sort, instead, she just acted oblivion and darted her view to Ramya and Ezhil.

I found that action cute.

Jiffies later, after when the marriage invitation cards were officially read by the pandit ji, the couples were sent off the stage outdoors.

Down the stage were numerous chairs and not even one was spared. There were people everywhere. But my eyes didn't fail to find Renu though. She was seated alongside aunt, my mom, and her elder sister, Radha.

She looked bored.

Anyways, seeing a bunch of people going towards the catering service region, I plotted to go there and help in serving food.

Just then, due to the packed environment, a girl stepped on my foot and was almost all over me. It was Ezhil's sister. "I'm really sorry..." She apologized worriedly. I waved my hands at her, dismissively.

"It's okay, walk carefully," I uttered and quickly made my way to the catering service place.

On about the third round of supplying food, arrived Renu with some of her friends. I was curious to serve her food. But when I actually did that, she didn't even glance at me. She looked depressed and gloomy. Now, what had happened?

Throughout the whole time, her eyes were cast down to her food. Even when she would look up, she would deliberately not gaze at me.

Afterward, I messaged her on phone, asking her to meet me in her room. Yet the message wasn't seen by her. At late noon, when the number of people appearing to have food have reduced, I flew out of the place and checked my phone again. Still hasn't been viewed by her.
