The Heart Lies...

Chapter 7

Flashback

**************************************

"Helloo...", Karan's husky voice filled her with warmth and longing. "Hello", Koyal replied coyly.
Karan- I'm glad you picked up my call.
Koyal- Well, I'm glad you called.
Karan- Yaa, me too...
Silence hung thick between them, a sweet silence.
Koyal- I..umm..quite enjoyed this past week. I still can't believe you guys are back in Mumbai. Dad is missing his childhood sweetheart.
Karan- Yeah, I can't believe it either. So..umm...don't you miss your sweetheart?
Koyal- My sweetheart??
Karan- Me ofcourse. He stated with a chuckle.
Koyal- Ooo, yess, I'm pining for you my lord. Hahaha..
Karan- Hahaha...I'm serious Koyal..I like you...
Silence...
Karan- Koyal, you there??
Finding herself at a loss of words, she switched off her phone. She could feel the spike in her heartbeat. She waited it out but her heartbeat showed no signs of slowing down. I like you could mean a thousand things. Stop overacting!! She mustered up courage and switched on her phone. Her phone immediately begun ringing. Woah, can't believe he was continously calling me.
Karan- Oh finally! Why did you switch off your phone??
Koyal- Network problems.
Karan- Oh, ok then goodnight.
Goodnight. After almost giving me a heart attack, goodnight?
Koyal- Ya, goodnight.
Karan- Sleep tight dear Koyal. I'll call tomorrow...
Koyal- I'll be waiting...
Well, well. Someone is getting too forthright.
Karan laughed his husky laugh and then the line fell silent. She could feel every cell of her body vibrating to his voice. Oh this attraction was driving her insane! She felt as if she was bursting out with joy. With a stupid smile pasted to her face she lay on her bed dreaming happy dreams. Next day and the days ahead, they chatted incessantly. It was a wonder that after chatting the whole day, they found enough to talk on the phone each night. She basked in his attention. His every word reflected at the fact that he was just as attracted to Koyal as she was to him. Oh the ecstasy of first love! And young love at that. To be desired romantically by someone, to be the center of his attraction made her fall in love with herself as well. She now found herself priding over herself, more confident than ever of herself.

Karan- So what are you wearing right now?
Koyal- A checkered top and shorts, and you?
.
.
.
Koyal- What are your dreams, ambitions??
Karan- Hmm...thats quite easy. To marry you and live in a huge house with you and our children...
.
.
.
Karan- You are my luck Koyal. My life has grown so much better after you entered it.
Koyal- And you are the best thing that has happened to me.

Such were their talks. They ranged from sweet nothings, nonsense to family planning. (Oh the throngs of first love as I mentioned earlier.😆)
His presence walked with her. She always felt herself cocconed in his warmth. Koyal was living the fairytale romance she had always dreamt of.
