He decided, next day, he will talk to Su. She need to know everything about Sam's past before she take a decision. He can't let her take a wrong decision. Sid was very sure after his disclosure; Su will be like putty in his hands. Even before there is a relation between me and her I am ready to prove my loyalty and feelings for her. No girl can overlook these qualities in a guy, with these thoughts swirling in his mind he slept peacefully after several weeks.
Next day Sid was waiting for Su's swimming class to be over. The moment Su came out of gym. He jogged to her.
Sid: hi!
Su: hi! (Her face clearly showing her surprise on seeing Sid)
Sid: do I need to introduce myself?
Su: No... I know you. You are Suhani's elder brother.
Sid: correct. Can I walk with you?......................................... If, you don't mind?
Su: (after hesitating a little and pondering on his request)....why will I mind? You are welcome to join me?
Sid: How is the new school?
Su: (she replied a little cautiously) good!!!!!!!!!!!
Sid: hey, you don't like to talk much, isn't that correct?
Su: No,............ it's not true........It's just....that I prefer to decide the pace of my friendship and I decide it after due consideration only.
Sid: well,...................I am not hurt , I also don't like beating around the bush as well.
Su: So,,,,, don't mind it ,............ I will very much like if you can come to the point. I will not hold it against you.
Sid: well!!!!!!!!!!!! You see,............. I have noticed that you kind of have a soft corner for Sam.
Su: Is there a problem?,...................Sam!!!!!!!!!!! Sent you. To talk .
Sid: No, ................. It's nothing like that. Actually,.............I thought that I should let you know a bit about Sam so that you don't repent later.
Su: (she looked pained on hearing this sentence) Sam loves someone else? He has feelings for someone ?
Sid: Again,........... You are on completely wrong tangent. It's not the case but still I will say that you should reconsider your feelings for Sam.
Su: What do you mean by that? And,----------- why are you saying that I should reconsider about how I feel for him?...................Sam told you to talk to me,........... He doesn't like me at all?( she looked close to tears and very hurt)
Sid: Listen,............ he never asked me to do anything. I thought it will be better if you know everything ......................Sam ,............I, ......I mean........you don't have a future with him. Try to understand this
Su: why...........why so?!!!!!!!! Sam love someone else................ What do you mean that I don't have a future with Sam?
Sid: See!!!!!!!!..................you are new here. So you don't know many things...........in fact nobody talks about it now........... A few years back, ....... I mean, 5yrs ago........when Sam was 13 yrs old he suffered from intestinal cancer............................. He is completely fine now. But cancer left its mark on him.
Su: Marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....what marks?
Sid: well, ............... he looks normal,.....................he act normal ,.......even he appear normal but...............he lacks........................he lacks as a man. You know!!!!......I think you can make out what I mean.
