Her Secret Smile

18.

Siddharth was walking back and forth on the corridor by gazing in the direction of the Study room.
He doesn't know why he is standing there and waiting, after all.
So confused Siddharth went to his room and stood before his bed, he ran his fingers through his locks. He doesn't know what he is doing and what to do. Sighing deeply he sat staring blankly at the room.

Siddharth seemed to be restless from the moment he found Roshini here. He is having a nameless excitement to see her and thinking about she is just a few rooms away from him stirred his emotions like crazy.

Fighting with his hesitation Siddharth again stood up and walked very courageously.
Today evening he waited for Roshini in the living room hoping that she will arrive soon, but disappointment is the only thing he got. But when the moment he saw her he felt a kind of racing feeling which he never experienced before.

He thought of talking about so many things to her but he kept mum since he felt so difficult to look at her. He felt himself losing in her thoughts.

He couldn't understand why these things were happening all of a sudden. But this should never happen, he decided and tried to be normal like before. So for that, he needed to test himself first.

He entered the study room looking at Roshini and when she looked at him, he immediately shifted his gaze and moved near her. He stood beside her and pretend to see something in Shiva's book. His eyes can't read those things and he just turned the pages to show himself as normal.

He can't look at her and her fragrance stuck him on that spot.

What is happening to me? He thought and decided to talk to her.

"Roshini, where is your house?" he asked and looked at her. Roshini's smile increased his symptoms even more.

"Two stops from here," she replied simply and Siddharth immediately looked down.
He just nodded his head and strolled out of the place. He didn't stop in the middle and went straight to the living room. He entered the kitchen and gulped taking the cold water from the fridge.

"Siddharth," his mom's voice shut all those thoughts.
He came out to find his mom placing the baggage on the table that she bought and his dad came into the house carrying the rest of the bags.

"Mom?" he looked at her in a surprise.

"Sid, I brought a few dresses for Lakshmi and Shiva," she told.
"And here I bought a new watch for you," she handed him the cover.

"Thanks, mom," he grinned.

"Dad chose that for you, Sid," she added while proceeding to the kitchen.
Siddharth smiled at his dad and Vikranth gave a reassuring smile.
"Meera, I am heading to my room," Vikranth told and took a step.
But stopped to see a new girl in his house. "Meera, who is she?" he asked looking at Roshini.

Roshini was taken aback to see Siddharth's dad. Now she understood from where Siddharth got that killer looks, it's from his dad since he resembled a lot like Mr. Vikranth.

Roshini felt his aura was intimidating and he looked so young, not like having a 22-year-old son.

"Dad, she is Shiv and laksh's new home tutor," Siddharth told and Roshini sighed under her breathe.

"Oh," Vikranth looked her again and Roshini smiled as a greeting.

Meera came out and said hi to Roshini, she didn't expect this at this moment so Roshini felt nervous. She glimpsed Siddharth and he was staring back at her already.

Shiva and Lakshmi came down and stood beside Roshini. So the entire family was around me, now what is going to happen? Roshini thought.

"Are you studying or working?" Vikranth asked her.
