" What's the need of staying alone with him...? That too ,until night ...!! I don't like that Shravan... His face and his spectacles.. !"
" On that day I saw them drenching in the rain together.. what's all this?"
Anna spat out words in heat ... I stood there behind Amma unaware of what's going on...
Appa sat quiet in the recliner..he was listening to him intently...
" Amma... What happened? Why Anna is scolding me?"
I asked , blinking my eyes with real concern...
" Remember that you're a girl... Why don't you have some responsibility...? Stay away from him... Now onwards I shouldn't see you with him "
He threatened me , clenching his teeth terribly...
I saw amma bewildered...
She patted me to reassure...
" Anish... You're over reacting... she is just eleven years old... Don't spoil her innocence by your unwanted lectures... I will take care of her..."

I slept unknown to the chaos that centered me and shravan...
It happened when I was at sixth standard . Anish anna was at tenth standard...
Even now I think about that incident.. Why he had assumed something between me and shravan was still a query... But ,that moment made everyone around us to keep an eye on us.. And , that vigilant eyes created insecurity within us ...
Meanwhile , Divya akka's wedding arrangements were on the air...

" Not bad..."
He exclaims , throwing his eyes around the apartment ..
" Come in Shravan..." I open the curtain which enables the night view of the city...
