Debanya Diaries

Debu cares for Ananya

Debu asked. Ananya stunned looked back at the door. She froze for a moment. Debu taking her silence as a yes came inside and took the ointment from her hand. He sat down on a knee and gently touched her foot.

"Oww!"

Ananya groaned in pain. Due to the swelling, the slight movement of the foot was hurting her. Debu instantly left her foot. He looked up at Ananya and gently held her foot again. She trembled. He caressed her foot calming her down.

Applying the ointment, Debu made sure to blow on it. Ananya was silent at his treatment. Despite she was rude to him most of the times, he was still helping her out. Debu on the other felt bad seeing her like that.

"Thank you Debu..." Ananya muttered.

"Its okay!" Debu replied with a smile, "there you go! Medicine applied!" He stood up.

"Thanks again.." Ananya said gently turning to resting pose.

"Ananya!" Debu called out keeping the ointment on her table.

"Hmm?"

"Are we friends now?" Debu asked carefully.

Ananya thought for a moment and nodded. A bright smile came on his face. He instantly hugged her and dashed out of the room. Ananya went blank for a moment.

"Did he just....hug me?"

She muttered taken aback. On the otherhand Debu returned back to the shop and helped Mrs Chheda. He returned back home to change his clothes. Karuna who happened to be in the living room spotted him.

"Debu?" She reached out to him.

"Ma..."

Debu paused. Karuna analysed Debu from head to toe only finding flour everywhere on him.

Debu beta tum kirane ki dukaan se saaman lene gaye the ya factory se Saman banane gaye the?

Karuna asked in shock. Debu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Ma... actually I went to shop to buy groceries only. I happened to run in 'Problem Girl' who was in problem herself." Debu revealed with a dumb smile.

"Problem girl? Who?" Karuna surprised.

"Problem girl...that new paying guest of Mishra family ... Ananya... Problem girl.." Debu explained.

Karuna raised a brow at the nickname he gave to Ananya. Debu seeing Karuna's expression changed back the name to Ananya.

"I meant Ananya." Debu corrected himself.

"But what happened? And how did you ended up getting flour all over you?" Karuna asked.

"Ananya slipped from the ladder on me along with sack of flour which ended up on floor and flour all over us." Dehu explained a bit embarrassed.

Ananya tumhare upar girl gayi?

Karuna gave a teasing smirk to Debu who pouted shaking his head in a yes. The her eyes fell on his shirt where a few buttons were missing. Karuna couldn't help but smile.

"So that's why your shirt have some missing buttons?" She said counting.

"Oh no! Looks like they missed in shop!" Debu exclaimed.

"Its okay. I'll tuck new ones. For now you go and change your clothes. And keep these ones in washing machine." Karuna said.

"Okay Ma!" Debu nodded and headed towards the room.

"She didn't get much hurt? Did she?" Karuna asked concernfully.

"No Ma. Just a little pain. She will be fine in the morning tomorrow. I have applied her ointment." Debu revealed.
