A Fairy Tale

The Magical Color**

<Disclaimer: Dear Reader's this chapter has the repetition of sequences and events from his reverie in the early chapter (Chapter 3: Kathir's Reviere).It only varies slightly but reveals those details that were left open in the dream sequence :) >

Kathir and Mullai walked slowly towards the show

It was a lengthier lane with shamiana as the roof, over the good stretch.

The place was situated on a corner of the kettle shaped landscape of the fair and one end of the lane housed the generators that powered the fair, all of them working busy and more than it should.

They entered the place and helped themselves find a spot to watch the show. There were a few chairs laid out, occupied by the elders and ladies. The crowd was not anticipated.

As they looked behind, the backdrop of the place had a crooked lane lined up with shops offering drinks to quench thirst.

There were enough people filling the lane to watch the show already.

The magic show was not appreciated much since the fair started, so they changed the contract for the show. The new team was
brought in and they displayed interesting tricks and put out a great show. The word of mouth spread out too quickly pulling in a huge crowd, as time went by.

The show started and since KM secured a spot and the crowd was manageable, they enjoyed watching the show.

They enjoyed the show in the warmth of each other, as it got interesting they laughed out loud and had good time

After the first part got over, there was a power failure and they announced the crowd to regroup within half hour.

Everybody moved restlessly.

It was very sultry and KM were already thirsty after all the salt from the appalam.

M: eanga romba varatudhunga... She placed her hand over her throat pit

K: seri...vaa namma edhavadhu kudikalam

They moved over heading to the shop nearby..

As she moved forward, he looked at her under the dim light..

She looked beautiful as always, under the bright sun, in the evening amber light, under the crimson light and now in the dim light.

<The actual happening of the reverie starts here..it is a repeat of the earlier chapter with slight changes between dream vs reality and the disclosure of details that were left open in the dream sequence happens here>

he gazed at her coming as close as possible...forgetting the crowd around.

as he closed by, she became a little shy and conscious of the surrounding, she then slowly made a move...without losing the eye contact until she turned completely the other side...

she seemed beautiful and so womanly from the other side as well...

the lover boy in him scanned every inch of her and left him confounded.

she moved towards a shop,stopped and eyed the shop...

he knew exactly what she wanted...smiled at her demeanour and got into the shop....

they both were eyeing the colors in the shop

He knew exactly what she wanted.. he knew what she loves in particular...so he went about and ordered one.

she was about to ask him..but was left spellbound when he ordered exactly what she loved....

she was surprised and had no idea he would know... while she was in a mix of thoughts...
