It's You & Me

Chapter 39

Rathi P.O.V

Tomorrow A.K is going back to his work. I love him but i fear a little to express it. I don't know what is stopping me. I was standing in the garden. The rose garden. I made a garland with the roses for temple. " Akash." I screamed. " What??" He asked from inside. " I need to go to temple. Come with me." I said. " No rathi i am having work. You ask nithiya." He said. " Nithiya.." i called. " Rathi i am going out with gowtham. So you.." before she could finish. " Fine i will go by myself." I said. I tried to lift the garland but the wound still didn't get cure. " Ouch.." i screamed in pain. " Ammu ma.. What happened? Are you alright?" Grandpa asked. " Yes grandpa. I tried to lift it. But it's little weight." I said. " I will come with you. I am also going to temple only." He said. I smiled. He took the garland and kept in the car. We sat inside the car and the driver started to drive the car. " Ammu ma." Grandpa called me. " Yes grandpa." I said. " These roses are meant for you or god?" He asked. I was little confused. " I can't understand grandpa." I said. " These roses represent love right?" He said. " Yes grandpa. Love to my god." I said. " Oh my god. Rathi you are still a kid." He said. I can't understand what he is trying to say. But i just brushed off." Ok the temple came. You get down. The driver will bring your garland you get in." He said. " Why grandpa you are not coming?" I asked. " No my dear. I have work." He said. I just nodded and went. I went inside the temple and prayed i gave the garland. I was inside the temple for more than one hour. Today it is special day so the crowd is little more. But for me they will make way. After that i came out and sat at one place. Some memories of riya crossed in my mind. My eyes filled with tears. I wiped my tears and went again to see the god. When i saw my garland is missing. I searched but it is not there. My eyes filled with tears. I wiped and turned to go, i heard a voice " Rathi.." i turned to see. " A.K??" The moment i saw him i understood that what grandpa said.

A.K P.O.V

Grandpa called me to temple but he went some where. I went straight to see my god. I prayed to him. As usual they gave me garland. I smiled and got it. I felt little special when i got the​ garland. I felt different feeling inside me. I brushed off those feelings and turned to go but i saw rathi, she is crying. " Rathi " i called. She turned and gave a confused reaction. " What happened? Why are you crying?" I asked. " Nothing." She said. " Here the garland. Take some rose." I said. She just starred me first and then said "Ok"  and took one rose. She is smiling to her self. She is cute what ever she do. Two mind voices popped in my mind, No no ayush she is not for you. She still didn't accept you, one said. Another one said she is for me. The battle was going on till she interrupted " A.K?? Are you alright?" She said. " Huh.. Yes. Why?" I asked. " I was calling you for past 5 minutes." She said. " Oh. That is.." i said. " What happened?" She asked. "Oh. tomorrow i am going to get back my work. I am going to miss this place, grandpa, grandma everyone​. So i was thinking of it." I said. Huh. I think i gave a acceptable reason. Her face fell suddenly. She became silent. " Are you sure you are going tomorrow?" She asked. Why is she asking? " Yes. I got prathab case. So tomorrow i need to go." I said. " Oh." She said. " Don't worry. You are followed by two police officer all the time. You will be safe." I said. " Thanks. But i don't need." She said. I was little surprised. " Why?" I asked. " You will know the reason soon." She said. I was little confused. Then i saw her forehead​, she didn't apply sintoor. I took some and applied it. She was first shocked. Then smiled and turned. Then only i remembered that applying sintoor by men to a women only when they are married. Oh no what will i do. " A.K." She called. I turned to face her. " I need to take a photo by wearing this garland." She said. " Here" i said. " No you wear it on my shoulder." She said. I just shurged and wore it on her shoulder. Then she wore it on my shoulder again and we took photo. Many are selphie. After that we both went to home. I don't know why she did all this. I was confused. When we entered the home nithiya came near us. " Rathi you didn't give the garland?" She asked. " What??" I asked.
