TARA

It was an evening, all children in street were playing, one side boys was playing football, on the other side girls are playing skipping but among the little girls there a girl who age of near 22 also playing with them, her waist-length hair looked like a sea wave due to impact of her jumping and her face is facing to the other side...

" 95.. 96.. 97.. 98.. 99.. 100.... !" little girls are cheering her to hit the century in skipping and she hit it!!!!

A voice " puppy... puppy.. " she turned, revealing her angelic face with bold doe eyes and a wide smile to the owner of the voice, it's none other than her mother,kuzhali.

People call tara ' puppy 'she still searching for the reason why they calling her with that name. At last, fed up as she can't find out the reason and she let it to be like that..she so carefree and lovely popular girl in her area for her naughty behavior, always argue with the kid who merely in third-grade or fourth grade and make fun of area granny's when they told their old days stories. If she is not there, went to college or outing, everyone will ask her whereabouts to her mother, she is a sweetheart for them. Street corner ice cream and cotton candy sellers are a friend of her, even temple pandit is her friend.

" yenna di pannitu iruka chinna ponna na ne... po..ulla anna una kupura yenna nu kelu na banu akka vittuku poitu vara.. avaga ponna ponnupaaka varagalam...un vayasu tha aavaluku avalayum paaru, unnakum paaru"(what are doing here? Are you a kid? Go your brother called you... I am going to Banu sister home..today groom side people are coming to see her.. she is in the same age as you ... look yourself and her) her mother was scolding her for her child behavior but tara make a grinning face to her mother and run across her, inside the home to escape from her mother scolding.

Here, her mother shook her head by her childishness with a small smile...

no one can be mad at her.. she has her way to win others' hearts...

Tara went to the bedroom, her brother is working in the laptop which is in his lap without taking his eyes from the laptop he says" there is a mail for you, to be exact its appointment order" he released a huge sigh and finally take his eyes from laptop to look puppy who is stunned by hearing the news.

She comes back to the reality when she the felt the sharp pain in her arm "ah why did you pinch me...you pig." she frowned at her brother, Karthik, and rubbing the place where he pinched her

" Then what, from the day you attend the interview you tortured me with the same question ' will they select me..,? Will I get the job? ' now I am said the good news which you dying to hear but you are wasting your time standing here like a statue, not buying me anything to eat , go...go... go and order pizza with coke for me .. important note: use your pocket money.." he shooed her by his hand gestured in the air like dramatic.

Without answering his question she just pushed him from the chair before taking his laptop from him. He landed on the floor with a thud sound and she is making herself comfortable in that chair to read the mail as ignored the smash she received from the brother in her head.

if he smashed her at some other time, he would receive twice of he gave to her but now God is in his side that she so indulged with the letter.

she can't believe that she got an appointment letter from her dream company.

she was desperate to work on that company When she saw the company name on their college notice board. She applied for the interview.

she reading the appointment order with a huge smile, suddenly fell down and Karthik noticed it.

" yenna aachi... "( what happen? )

They both fight but by the end of the day, they both forgot the fight and patch with each other and got ready for another fight in the next minute. It was like their routine.

Karthik is a caring brother of tara, loves to irritate her by pulling her leg. He is 4 years elder than her, height 6 '2 inches.

For the other pov, he is a mature and responsible son and brother. But for her pov he always remains an irritating pig, she too loves him more just like how he loves her but both of them won't say it loud ...

" anna.... training Mumbai la( brother...training was in Mumbai) " her face felt down as his also but he instantly masked his reaction. " it's better to give up" she sighs sadly and kept the laptop on the chair and suddenly stop by hearing Karthik words.

" why... don't you wanna go.. I know you prepared for that company interview so hard and also know the reason why you don't wanna go" as he said., tara looked his face...

" appa? " he questioned her and she slightly nodded her head with a pout.

" how long the training period," he asked as he sat on the bed. She said "3 months."

" Okay, if I get the permission for your training.. what will I get? " he asked with an evil smirk and her face lit up with hope by her brother's words.she jumped on the bed next to him and sat with the crossed leg.

" Whatever you ask but ask which I can afford. You see, I have already spent half of this month pocket money in cinema please konjam paathu kelu(have mercy.) " she said with her best ever puppy face along with big eyes and pout lips.

" Okay okay, don't show that face," he said with his fake irritated face and continued " before you leaving for your training, do iron all my clothes including by sweat pants".

" all clothes were okay but no one wear ironed( pressed ) sweat pants right..? " she said with a confused face.." but I will because you are going to iron right? That's why " as he said leaving the bedroom to the living area...

she keeps glaring at the direction where Karthik went, though he's no longer in her sight and suddenly he's pop at the door side and asked " deal or no deal? ".

Having no other choice she fists her hand and said " deal... deal". " Good puppy," he said as he went really this time with a mocking smile." Somberi kazhitha(lazy donkey)" she mumbles.

she drops herself in bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking. One side she was on the cloud nine and another side she's worried ' how's she going to get permission from her father'.

On the other side, her brother. He doesn't want her sister to go to Mumbai ..because her family knows her well..she believes everyone easily and easily gets scared especially for thunder while sleeping. Karthik used to hug her sister during the thunder sound..he knows her every move.

she is not picky in anything even in food or the clothes she wore. Actually, she doesn't know what she really wants...But Karthik really wants her to find her by herself... if she has family all the time on her back, she won't learn anything on her own, But when she informed her family that she going to apply to her dream company, they hesitate but they didn't stop her.now, she got a nice job and this training period would be a good opportunity for her to expose the real world.

so he decides to let her live her life for some period so that she can learn there is an another world apart from  family, friends, and studies.
