---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Siri ... why are you standing at the door, come in Siri" Karthik tells Siri  as he resumed to his work  while Siri stood there still with her head bend down playing with her fingers.

Sensing something is wrong Karthik goes to her, he lifts her chin  with his fingers and made her look into his eyes, seeing tears in her eyes Karthik felt sad.

"What happened Siri? why  are you crying ?" Karthik asks her while she still remained silent without speaking a word.

"What's wrong Sirii ?" Karthik asks her irrritated by her silent treatment.

"I will miss you... " Siri tells Karthik as tears flowing down her cheeck.

"I will miss you too ... Siriii" Karthik tells her.

"I will miss you Kartii... from tommorow onwards who will tease me? who will make me angry ? who will make me smile? with whom should i share all my feelings?"  saying this she burst out crying hugging him.

"Siri..." Karthik lost his words. He didn't know how to console her. He is happy to get an admission in one of the top Engineering colleges but he too was undergoing same pain as her. He is suffering inside while Siri just expressed it now. He composed himself to be strong for her.

"Don't cry... Siri I may not be present here physically, but we can still be close to each other like all these days. we can talk on phone daily, whenever you feel like seeing me just give me a call next minute i will be infornt of you."

"But..."

"No buts Siri ...  i will always be with you ... distance doesn't matter, it is just for 4 years, i will be visiting you frequently so please don't cry, remember when i told you about my interest in joining that college you are the one who encouraged me while preparing for the entrance exam. "

"hmm...ok... you have to talk to me daily at least 3 times "

"sure Siri, my day will  start with a good morning  and end  with a good night from you... ok"

"hmm... ok "

"so now smile Siri ...if you don't stop crying then i will start crying along with you" says Karthik raising his eyebrows...

when they were kids, one day Karthik  and Siri were playing carroms in which Karthik won the game by cheating, Siri started to argue with him that he won the game by cheating her. When doesn't accept his fault, Siri started to cry,he tried to pacify her but she being stubborn is not ready to keep quite so Karthik started crying along with her. Siri wondered why Karthik is crying but she didn't acknowledge him and continued crying. After crying along with her for few minutes, Karthik started to cry and scream near her ear which made her  crying to a halt and  run around to escape his screaming  near her ear.

"oh no Kartii... i don't want to be deaf..." she said horrified remembering their childhood .

Seeing her expression Karthik burst out laughing and soon she too joined his laughfter.
