Tales of the Heart

chapter 2

It is night time, in a room a boy is sitting on his study table and there is a book open in front of him which he is reading, reading or just staring at the pages, he is caressing the pages of that book with his gentle fingers.
There is a sweet smile on his lips and his eyes are full of innocence while looking at the pages of that book.

He is smiling while thinking something but immediately gets nervous and closes the book when he hears his mother's voice.

" Reyansh " His mother enters his room calling his name, whereupon he quickly closes the book and turns back where he sees his mother coming close to him

He tries to calm his racing heart and his mother senses the nervousness on his face

" What happened?" Priyal, his mother, asks him

"Nothing." he says composing himself

"Then why are you so nervous?" she asks

" There is nothing like that mom, but, you, here?" he asks but then looks at the glass of milk in his mother's hand.

" Please Nooo.
Mom, I'm not a kid, I don't want to drink this." he says while making a disgusted face, to which his mother glares at him

" The same dialogue every day, but I hope you remember your mom's dialogue too....,"Drink it quietly without throwing any tantrums and no matter how old you become, for me you will always be my little Reyansh." Saying this, Priyal cups his face and forcibly makes him drink the milk, which he drinks with great difficulty but immediately makes a disgusted face at which his mother does nothing but smiles.

"Good boy." She praises him after making him drink his least favourite thing.

" It's better to eat Kalera ( bitter gourd ) than this milk...." He says, still unable to get over the taste of that milk.

"Okay, then tomorrow I will make Kalera for my baby..." she says caressing his hair

" Nooooo " He shouts, to which his mother gently smacks him on the head, calling him a tantrum maker.

" Now sleep, good night." She says kissing his forehead to which he smiles.

" Good night, mom." He says and with that his mother walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.

On the other hand

Aaira is still at Mehra house with her parents and all three siblings are sitting in a room and planning for tomorrow's trip, but amidst all of them, Aarav is a little quiet, which Ansh notices.

" What happened? Why are you silent?" Ansh asks Aarav to which Aarav looks at him

" No, there is nothing like that, I was just thinking about something...." Aarav says and thinks whether he should say what he wants or not

" What are you thinking, tell me..." Ansh asks Aarav

"I won't tell, you will scold me." Aarav says

" Okay then don't say anything." On hearing this from Ansh, Aarav's mouth hangs open, upon which Aaira smiles.

" Arre, Nooo... Listen na what am I thinking..." Aarav says

" So I told you to tell me, why are you doing so much drama, tell me clearly at once..." Ansh says

" Ok, So I was thinking this....wherever you both (he says pointing towards Ansh and Aira) stay, my presence or absence there is the same." Says Aarav

" Hwww, Bhaiya why are you saying this...okay I agree that I love Ansh bhaiya 1 percent more, but you are my jaan." Aaira says while putting her hand around Aarav's neck affectionately
