CH 10 - Hello Mister !!

After a few minutes i notice Vishwa . He
appears really serious like he is thinking something

"The food was delicious wasn't it?" I say
But he didn't reply .

" Uncle was so hilarious earlier , he gave Bamma almost a heart attack haha....."

No response , again. I wait for a few seconds and still not a word. Not even a 'hmm'

" That ...that Siddu guy is something right? Nice guy. "

There ,I've said it. I have mentioned the elephant in the room.

Maybe i will know now how he feels ...who knows... After all that crying , I could use some jealousy

But he didn't even stop . He kept walking

And that too really fast .

" Hey hey slow down . Whats the rush,?" I ask

I match up to his pace and stop in front of him.

" Please move, I'm tired . I wanna sleep" He says in a low voice not looking at me.

" Oh but if you tired how can you walk so fast ?"

He just sighs loudly and turns to go from my side .

I just grab his hand . Which makes him flinch . It was soo mild that I wouldn't have felt it if i wasn't holding his wrist.

" Now wait a minute. Why are so irritated all of a sudden. "

" Nothing ." He says

" Are you mad at me? I ask.

He snaps his eyes towards our joined hands

He shakes his head.

" Really ?"

" Hmm"

" Well then why have you not looked at me since we left their house . "

He stays silent .

Arrgh !! Why do he complicate things?
Ok it's gonna work this way . Let's ask him straight

" Then.. are you jealous......of Siddu? " I ask.

His body grew rigid and he let his hand free from my grip. And start walking quickly again .

" So it is ?! I ask,catching my pace with him

" Pfft, Im not jealous of him. What is there to be jealous of ?"

" Well for starters he is taller than you , has a golden skin , good sense of humour and my god.. the guy is well build with muscle." I say

Since I was talking while walking so fast the last bit came out in a breathless tone.

It was his fault I did not do it deliberately. But I think he didn't think so.

Next thing I know he suddenly stopped and turn towards me . With his each step forward i backed away in fear ( and also excitement) until my back hit a solid support.

I look at the surroundings only to notice that we reach the house and we are leaning against the wall of the house .

" Is that so? " He asks with an easy smile but I can see the fury and restrain  in his eyes.

I just shrug.

" Well maybe he would ask you to be his girlfriend tomorrow who knows ." He says sarcastically

I chuckle.
" He already did " I say . Oops ! Didn't mean to slip that out.

He looks at me with a surprise expression .
