As Vrindha freshened up, Krishna lingered in the living room and his mind is swirling with thoughts of her. The family photos lining the walls captured moments of joy and laughter but it was Vrindha's image that captivated him most. He is seeing those photo's for nth time but still he feels hypnotised by her smile. He admired her strength, her unwavering determination to fight against corruption and make a difference in their community. The flutter in his chest reminded him that his feelings for her went beyond friendship.
After what felt like an eternity, Vrindha emerged from the kitchen looking cheerful and radiant. She wore a comfortable yet elegant maxi-dress that highlighted her confidence. Krishna's breath caught for a moment as the dress she wore adored hall tall frame emphasising her graceful demeanour.
She walked into the kitchen again with purpose after placing the snacks plate on the table. Her movements are fluid as she retrieved the brownie ice cream she had made the day before. The rich, chocolaty scent wafted through the air making Krishna's stomach rumble with anticipation. He watched her mesmerised by how effortlessly she navigated her surroundings, her focus is unwavering as she carefully scooped generous portions into bowls.
Arjun : Desserts ?
Arjun teased when she finally emerged with the bowls with a playful grin on his face.
Vrindha : Why not ? We deserve a treat after a long day.
she replied as her warm smile lighting up the room. She placed the bowls on the coffee table in the living room and then settled beside Arjun on the couch radiating joy.
Just then, the front door swung open and Shankar, their father stepped inside. He looked weary from a long day at the bank but his face brightened at the sight of his children.
Shankar : Good evening !
he called out by shaking off the stress of his day.
Arjun : Evening Dad !
Arjun exclaimed by standing to embrace him.
Krishna : Hey Uncle !
Krishna added, waving enthusiastically trying to match the cheerful atmosphere.
Shankar : Hi krishna !
Shankar's gaze turned to Vrindha, a note of concern creeping into his voice.
Shankar : I saw you on the news today about the VRO issue. What's going on ?
Before Vrindha could respond, Krishna interjected smoothly,
Krishna : Oh, it was nothing. Just Vrindha doing what she does best . keeping the community safe. You know how it is, right ?
He shot her a quick smile and his eyes are sparkling with admiration and support.
Shankar nodded though his brow furrowed slightly.
Shankar : I hope everything is okay. It's important to be careful when dealing with these kinds of people. They can be dangerous.
Vrindha : I appreciate your concern Nanna.
Vrindha said as her heart is swelling with gratitude for Krishna's quick thinking.
Vrindha : But I'm handling it. I promise to keep you updated.
Shankar : Good to hear. I trust you, but don't hesitate to lean on us if you need support.
Shankar said by settling into his chair and glancing at the bowls of dessert.
Shankar : What's this ? Dessert before dinner ?
Arjun : Just a little celebration.
Arjun chimed in by nudging the bowl toward him.
Arjun : You can't say no to brownie ice cream !
As they all gathered around the coffee table to dig in, the atmosphere transformed, filled with warmth and laughter. Vrindha animatedly recounted her day by sharing the ups and downs of her work. Krishna couldn't help but be drawn in by her passion. Her laughter was infectious and he found himself hanging onto her every word savouring the moment.
Vrindha : Seriously Nanna !
Vrindha said by playfully rolling her eyes.
Vrindha : You have to try this. It's the best part of my day !
Shankar : I'll take your word for it.
Shankar chuckled by savouring his first spoonful.
Shankar : Mmm ! This is fantastic ! You really outdid yourself, Vrindha.
As they all indulged in the rich, creamy goodness, Krishna couldn't shake the admiration he felt for her. She was more than just a fierce district magistrate. she was someone who inspired those around her. Each time she spoke about her work, her eyes sparkled with determination, and he felt drawn to her in a way that was both exhilarating and daunting.
At one point, their eyes met across the room and for a brief moment, an unspoken connection sparked between them. Krishna's heart raced. he wanted to express what he felt but found himself hesitating. Instead, he focused on the lighthearted conversation with Arjun and Shankar.
As they finished their bowls and the chatter shifted to lighter topics, Krishna resolved to be there for Vrindha not just as a friend but as someone who wanted to stand by her side through every challenge she faced. He recognised that his feelings for her were deeper than mere admiration. they were a yearning to be part of her journey to support her in every way he could.
The laughter and camaraderie enveloped them like a warm embrace, a comforting reminder of their bond. In this unpredictable world, with its challenges and triumphs, Krishna felt a sense of hope. Together, with family and friends, they could navigate whatever came next, and perhaps, in time, he would find the courage to reveal the depth of his feelings for Vrindha.
