Still, carrying a torch for you : A Clandestine Admiration

Chapter 1

Kish Keyite

I had Never expected that , i would be roaming in streets like this for a rented house. I'm searching for this address for a long time. My house broker just a gave phone number of mrs. Izakaya Krishnan for my new rented house. Do you know what is worst part in Chennai? It is searching a rent house for low charge. And I'm ranked with more rent charge than others because of my look. Which gazes like a foreigner. Yeah, I'm a Indo-australian. My mom, Harzia Keyite is an Australian traveller. My dad, Ankesh Kumar is a South Indian Tourist Guide. Now, you can figure out how would I have made .

I finally found the place, i search for. The house guise huge. most probably it would be expensive. A woman gazes like 40 to 45, at the entrance gate welcomed me, "hello, I'm Izakaya Krishnan. I hope you're Keyite."

I nodded and made a handshake with her. She guided me and presented the house. As, i guessed the house is totally little gaint. It contains 2 bedrooms with attached restroom and with a hall and kitchen. This house is at 1st floor as this house owner stays at the ground with her family. I looked up at her pity and asked her lowering my volume "may I know the rent cost?"
She gave a casual look, "it is 20k per month and advance 40k. Only!"

She literally made me gasp. I was about to say that it can't workout. Quickly She said, "your broker already informed about you and your situation. I can feel you. So, i got up with a good deal which you can afford hopefully."
It gave a me a sudden happiness i excited my voice, "what is that? Let me know." She smiled, " the house you just now saw was already used by a single person. Even that person can't afford full rent so that person agreed to have a housemate. If you
Don't mind you can share. And your rent will be reduced to half."

I went into deep thinking. 'Cause, i feel it a good idea because usually single room house is 15k. If I agree here it with that i have to pay only 10k per month. I nodded at her and agreed with her deal to stay to have a housemates. To be truth, it is little embarrassing me and feel bad myself to stay like this but there is no other options for me, so I have too.

Quickly i got call from my Furniture lifter. Before taking it. I glanced at Mrs. Krishnan "madam, i will give you the advance right now. Can I keep my furniture at the home now?" She nodded, "yes you can! Carry on".

She left. By the time, my call ended so I called back the lift driver and gave the address to them. Soon, they arrived and arranged the furniture in the house. I was all tired and rested myself in the couch. gazing at the locked room of my roommate. Even, i was astonished when i glanced at the kitchen as it filled with too Many utilities.

Its been 7pm and 11hours since i own this home. I closed my eyes to have a nap.

Rapidly, i heard some noise out footsteps of someone. I heard, that Owner yells, " don't run into stairs, stupid go slow!" And a female voice, "why did you not inform me that my roommate have arrived, early?" The owner ran behind that person i could hear her footsteps too, "wait, let me come and introduce you!". Slowly the door unlocks and get opened.

I stood, and gazing at the door. I prayed myself that my roommate shouldn't be a woman. The door was opened by Owner, she showed up a woman. " Here, she is your roommate Keyite."
I gasped at the woman as she was Avantika, my old classmate.

"Avantikaaaaa" she saw me stunningly, "kish??"

I still remember her. When I was 15. I was transferred to a school for my class 10. As I was new and gazed like an foreigner. I was treated special. I used to get many proposals those times. Avantika was one of them. I know Avantika had crush on me. To be truth, even I had it on her. She had courage and brave to confess me. But i was not at the situation to handle relationship. As, i was facing many family situations. Avantika was micheveous. If I would have accepted her, my reputation would be sinked. She is too childish and careless girl. And i was not sure, is she was serious about me or to just show of herself. After that incident held on our last day of 10th , i haven't met her for years as she joined some other school during our 11th class.

We both looked at eachother surprisingly. That's what we could do now.
At this moment i realised that, i haven't still moved on from her.

Where i trusted myself that I have moved on. To be honest, i lost interest on other girls after her.
