THE VISUALIZED LOVE

Chapter 17- Sold out

"Ho... how did you guys get to know?" Shivani asked nervously.

"You think we won't be able to find out even that? I mean, I don't understand why you had to hide it from us." Shane said.

"It's not that I didn't want you guys to know, it was just... I didn't see any point in telling because I thought he would feel uncomfortable or anything like that, also that I could make another pendant for myself... And didn't want to ask it back" Shivani said

"But still... one word... just once, you could have told us" Uday said.

Shivani: "Now what? What do you want me to do?"

Uday: "Like I said, make another new pendant for him in return for the favor he did to you"

Shivani: "I can't"

Shane: "Why?"

Shivani: "See... I don't give my handicrafts to people just like that, I make them with a lot of effort, Hours together. Everything needs to be properly done and they are also very minute. I only give it to people who mean alot to me, only to the people who deserve. They should have known me, must have been there for me at my lowest. If at all I give any of my Handicrafts to someone, then it would mean that I have finally acknowledged them in my life as an important person, whom I would shower love over. It's not easy to get something like this from me just by asking. You have to pass a lot of stages. I only sell my handicrafts, but not give it to them voluntarily until I acknowledge them, it's my way of showing love. I show my love through handicrafts, letters. Hope you guys understand"

Advait was able to understand that it wasn't easy, but still that man wouldn't give up so soon, he wanted it. Really bad., even if it meant to force her to give a new pendant. He also understood the importance of the pendant that he had got on the corridor, and how valuable and priceless a thing could be. All his thoughts turned towards his actions which would irritate her, because he loved doing that to her.

"I'll pay" in a subtle voice he said , bending his head. "I'll pay ra maum, how much ever it is" he said, looking at Uday.

"It's not cheap though, I sell one pendant for 800/-, which is minimum" She said in a sarcastic tone, looking at Uday.

"1200" Advait said. "I don't care about the price, I want the pendant. That's it" with a smirk on his face

Uday said "1200/- is a very good offer, according to me. Think about it Shivani." giggling.

"I am literally telling the value of my Handicrafts, y'all don't understand or what? Don't make me go mad now" Shivani said.

"Fine then, don't give" Shane said.

"What the heck, what!!??" Advait asked Shane in surprise.

Shane put his arm on Advait's shoulder, indicating him to go with the flow and assuring him to trust. "Yea... see you are too determined to repay the favour, but this is what we want. Repay? Or be indebted to us? Choice is yours." Shane said to Shivani.

Just as Shane completed asking her, Advait paid 1200/- to Shivani's number. (He had saved her number when they had to make a group to organize posters during their college fest)

Shivani's jaw dropped when she heard the transactions sound on GooglePay that pops whenever someone pays money. Advait showed his phone to let her know that he paid the money. He smirked as he thought "ippo enna pandra nu paakalam(let me see what she does now)"

"Take your time Shivani, Give the pendant whenever you want. Vaa macha polam(come bro we'll leave)" Shane dragged Advait and Uday understood, so all the three left the class.
