Will you marry me?

04 | Interruption

Entering her room Keerthi directed Vasan to the chair for him to recline. Vasan did not lock the door but had it slightly closed. He sat on the chair and asked Keerthi also to suit herself.

Keerthi sat on the cot. Taking a minute to compose himself, Vasan started.

"I wanted to tell you something"

Keerthi looked at him to see that he has a serious face. The first question she expected was, him asking her if she is ok with marriage. 

"hmm ya proceed"

When he was about to start, they heard a knock on the door. It was Ambika with a two plates of sweets and mixture.

Seeing the sweet, Keerthi understood that her mom had already started serving the sweets to the guests.

Getting the plates from her mother, in a low voice she reminded her mom to mention about the creator of the sweets. 

Ignoring the glare from her mother , Keerthi placed the sweets on the nearby table and closed the door with bolt.

Though Vasan looked at her actions, he did not question her. Walking towards him with the plates, she handed one of the plate to him and sat on the cot opposite to him.

"ok now tell me" started Keerthi.

When he was about to open his mouth, "you can converse while eating" spoke  Keerthi stashing few mixture to her mouth.

Vasan nodded his head and opened his mouth to speak. But was again interrupted by her.

"Eat that sweet , it will taste good"

Vasan did not eat anything in the plate. He heaved a long sigh at her behavior.

"Can I just say what I want to say and then I will think about eating" Vasan controlled his slight anger that was trying to protrude.

Though it irritated, at one corner he felt it cute. Vasan carefully shove away that thought. Trying really hard to control his smile he put up a serious face at her.

"ok ok , proceed" spoke Keerthi while she continued munching her snacks.

He kept the plate on the nearby table and turned to talk. " I am actually.." again he was cut short.

"That mixture was brought from Krishna sweets, but that palkova (milk sweet) was made by me at home."

Vasan for some strange reason did not get angry , but only could smile at her non stop talking sense.

Not wanting to show his smile at this time he tried to bring in a fed up angry face.

Vasan looked at her with a stern face while his hands were crossed across his chest. Thinking atleast now she will come back to serious mode.

"ssss. ok ok sorry, sorry, I will zip my mouth" said Keerthi .

When he was about to speak, Keerthi again opened her mouth to say something.

But Vasan quickly stashed her mouth with the sweet making her eyes go wide  at his action.

Heaving a sigh, Vasan started " I am actually not interested in marrying now."

On hearing his statement, the sweet filled mouth of Keerthi, tried to chew fastly and swallowed it in one go.

"I have ..." his sentence was again cut short by her.

"oh my god, I know the possible reasons.1. Are you in love with someone now?"

"no"

"2. Then are you still not over about your ex who ditched you?"
