Geetha smiled at Ram.
I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but... seeing you like this... I feel like I should tell. You won't tell anyone, will you?
Ram: Yeah, I won't tell anyone.
(Hummed)
Two years back
Ajay is the topper in their class. He never stops fighting for the first rank. His smile, the dimple and his voice was glanced by too many girls. Everyone had crush on him. Even some girls were been his fangirl. One day, they completely turned against him and started to bully. Ajay can't show his head up in front of everyone. He ran from every where and stopped to come school because...
A fake news spread all over the area and the school.
18 years old girl was sexually harassed by neighbour in DK street. 16 years old boy was arrested.
There wasn't proper evidence against Ajay. So, they let him go. But he is the only guy from their street. Someone started saying that he might have done this while pretending to be innocent... Eventually, he left that place and came here. Well, I don't know the full story.
His parents found a separate house and settled here. Even so, he couldn't forget anything and started with cigarettes and alcohol.
During the time he was broken, I started writing a book. He titled it "Innocence." His father sold it in the tea shop in that area...
Lakshmi started reading it realistically. She gave replies and hope. No one else bought that book. Lakshmi also started talking to him using a boy's nickname, through a mail...
Once Ajay said all these things to me. I'm just saying in his perspective.
Her messages provided good support. Gradually, as they kept talking, Lakshmi started liking him. After one year, she confessed that she was not a boy but a girl. That was it... She was blocked.

Ram: He blocked? but why?
Geetha: I don't know either...
Ram: How do you know all these stories? You and him were friends?
Geetha: Ajay is my brother. He's my cousin. They came here only because we were staying in this town. When Ajay liked Lakshmi, he asked me to talk to her. Only when I got to know her did I realize that Lakshmi was the one supporting Ajay. Lakshmi doesn't know that I'm his cousin.
Ram: Ajay don't know her true identity? I It must not be a coincidence. Meanwhile...you know everything, then why are you hiding the fact that you know both of them? If you tell me—
Geetha: I don't know why Ajay blocked her. Now if he finds out it was Lakshmi, I don't know what else happen.
Ram sighed. "I don't know what to say. As long as they are happy, it's fine."
Geetha: Hmmm... I think we can keep this among ourselves. It's the first time I'm sharing this.
Ram: Am I the only person who knows this?
Geetha: yes.
She got up and left the place with a smile. Ram confused about why she shared a huge secret only with him. Meanwhile he smiled as long as they are happy together... Then, he realized something.
She proposed him, He loves her now, they don't know each other's identity but still in love? Nope...something miserable.
He fell in such a shock!
Geetha sighed at the sky. "Get a grip geetha, ram is not your destination...!"
On the other hand, Lakshmi and Ajay were spending their time together on the lake view.
