Little Hearts

Chapter - 16 (a)

"No place for love in her life"

"Part - 1"

*********

Lasya was enjoying her ice cream along with Ritchie while coming back from her work in the supermarket.

After a long time, they were having a good time with each other. Ritchie was taking full advantage of it without leaving her side for a moment.

"Hey, lovely!", someone called out.

Lasya stiffened in her place and turned to the direction of the voice. There were some people who were standing and were in the process of Eve teasing. They didn't see her dog yet! Else they wouldn't have dared to call her out loud!

"Lasya threw the ice stick away and wiped her face with her handkerchief and tucked it down inside her pant pockets.

"Yes, how may I help you?", asked Lasya cheerfully!

Boys didn't understand the reason behind her cheerfulness cause most of the time it is otherwise.

"There is something to be taken care of. I guess it's better we go from here cause she is so sure of herself! And my instinct says there is definitely something not so right at the moment", one of the boys from their group whispered but anyway Lasya heard it.

"Nothing, we are just making sure you are safe and sound!", one of the boys replied to her.

When they leaped forward, feet away from Lasya our Ritchie came barking gaining the attention of nearby people.

One of the neighbor aunties came towards them and narrowed their eyes at the boys.

"You stupid, you are again here with your group of monkeys!", Lasya giggled when she heard her calling them monkey!

Boys were embarrassed and were irritated with the aunty's comment.

"I have already told you, I shouldn't see you guys here gawking at the ladies passing by. But, no! You all wouldn't listen, right? Let me make a call to my husband then! Wait!", saying this, the aunty dialed a number.

Boys were getting frantic and were mumbling something to each other.

Lasya thanked God for not creating a scene by the boys and she went away from there happily along with Ritchie.

--------

While eating dinner, she remembered that day back when Shravas helped her by recording the video.

Flashback---------

Lasya giggled after she had placed a chaste kiss on his cheek. She flushed red thinking about it while walking alone towards the bus. Nearing the bus she tried to be normal but was failing miserably as a shy smile was not leaving her face. She took her usual seat and her friend, Nihi gave her a bottle of water to sip on.

"Uff, that was really something!", said Nihi waving her hands on the air as if it's a big thing.

"Oh, I swear. It was nothing. I would have done much better if he tried to touch me!", Lasya said irritated by scrunching her nose.  

Nihi looked at her and at the same time Lasya also looked at her and like in an instant, they both laughed out loud.

As usual, Lasya was enjoying her college life and was studying well doing all the works given by her teachers.

One day, after the class they were all ready to return back home.
