FALLING IN LOVE

part-18(time table set)

After some time, Teja came out, ready for the day.

KK was sitting in the balcony, talking to Omi on the phone.

Teja quietly walked over and sat down beside him.

KK noticed her and smiled.

KK: Okay, Omi.

KK glanced towards Teja.

KK: Keep me updated about the hospital.

Omi: Don't worry, Bhai.

KK: Hmm.

With that, he ended the call.

Then he looked at Teja.

KK: Good morning.

Teja smiled.

Teja: Good morning, Karan.

KK handed her a cup.

KK: Tea?

Teja nodded.

Teja: Hmm.

Then she looked around.

Teja: But why are we having breakfast here?

KK raised an eyebrow.

Teja continued.

Teja: Why not with Mom and Dad?

KK smiled.

KK: There are two reasons.

Teja waited.

KK: First, we have to start studying.

Teja immediately understood.

KK: And second...

KK looked at her seriously.

KK: I want to talk to you about something.

Teja nodded.

Teja: Okay.

KK became serious.

KK: Teja...

Teja looked at him.

KK: Do you trust me?

Without thinking, she replied—

Teja: Hmm... yeah.

KK nodded.

KK: Then answer one more question.

Teja waited.

KK: Do you think Abhi would be happy seeing you like this?

The smile disappeared from her face.

KK continued gently.

KK: Or do you think any of us are happy seeing you suffer like this?

Teja lowered her eyes.

KK: No, right?

Teja quietly nodded.

KK softly held her hand.

KK: Teja, you have to fulfill Abhi's dream.

KK paused.

KK: You have to make your dream successful.

KK looked into her eyes.

KK: But right now, I don't think you're trying.

Teja immediately looked up.

Teja: No, no.

Teja shook her head.

Teja: I want to.

KK nodded.

KK: Good.
