Eyes on you

Today is the engagement for Anjana and Krishnan. I am busy with the function and other things as I had to look for caterers and photographers , invite the guests.

Its a big responsibility being an elder brother. uff. I am tired, still it is all for my only sweet talkative sister.

The engagement got over in a good manner and the guests were all talking. It would take some time for the caterers to arrive. 

I distributed some juice to everyone. Going near Sandhya I stretched the plate containing juice cups,  "juice?"

She turned around to face me. Taking a cup she mouthed thanks.

"Why can't you take one?"  she asked me. I nodded my head in agreement and took a juice.

There was a comfortable silence between us. She swirled her head to me to say something, but was interrupted by the voice of my Father.

"Devan.. check if the caterers have come with the Lunch"

"yes paa.." I went out finishing my juice. If we both talk when everyone are present, mainly my parents and her parents, most importantly Krishna, they might form scenarios.

I don't want to give space to that and left. Thankfully, Sandhya too followed me. I was waiting at the entrance gate for the caterers to arrive. Just a minute before I dialed them and came to know that they are near by in the next street.

Sandhya came near me and cleared her throat to gain my attention. Although I knew her following me and standing beside  for half a minute, I did not spare her a look. 

It actually brought a smile on my lips but I controlled really hard. This feeling is also good and enjoyable. 

A person trying so hard and doing lot of things to gain your attention. It made me feel superior and happy to see her antics.

I casually turned around to look at our house and back to the street, just to take a glimpse of her face reaction. She frowned as I did not give my attention her. 

She cleared her throat again and this time I looked at her. " Sorry.. for that day.. in..in the beach" she  apologized genuinely and hesitatingly.

"Its ok" I replied.

She still had a frown thinking I was avoiding her with my reply. I smiled at her to make her understand I am not angry on her nor take her words seriously.

Before she could talk further, the caterers arrived and I got busy with guiding them.

Days and weeks passed.  After the engagement of Krishnan, I did not get chance to meet Deva. Today is the reception for Anjana and Krishnan. The celebrations were happening in a grand manner. 

The guests and relatives took photos with the couples. Devan too joined them and took some photos. Him, Krishna and Anjana stood on the stage posing for the photo. Suddenly, I too rushed to the stage and joined them. 

I was wearing a dark blue saree matching his dark blue shirt. Morning for the vrdaham too I was wearing a sandal colored half saree matching his shirt color. 

I am sounding very childish with all my acts. What to do.. all because of Deva . He is the one making me do all this. If he atleast looks at me and talk sometime , I might get some sense. 

I have a liking towards him. But he does not seem to notice me. I did not get proper time to talk with him in general and share things. But at least can't he catch the clue that I am exhibiting?
