Chereads / THE PLATONIC LOVE: Love for Love's Sake / Chapter 21 - "More like manly..."

Chapter 21 - "More like manly..."

The grandparents, were after these siblings to get married and give them grandchildren. Rish was strictly bound to a thought that unless he find someone utterly devoted to his sister, he wouldn't marry. He knew, after marriage, there are certain responsibilities which he was not ready to take, cause he was more concerned about his sister. But, being grandparents, they never stopped trying and arranged suitors for them. Moreover, they were on a visit to a pilgrimage, then also they arranged a suitor to visit their home for Sia. Although, they knew, what their grand daughter will do with them, but they wanted to try their best. But, they never forced her to marry someone who she doesn't like. And this was more than enough for Sia to escape and to reject the proposals. And this was done mostly in the absence of Sia's father, because he didn't like anyone to stress his daughter in any way. But considering a witty adventure, Sia was not bothered about the consequences. She used to take these things very casually.

In the living room, Sophia and Bella were sitting on a couch and the guests were sitting on the opposite sofa. A mid-aged man and a mid-aged woman were sitting beside their son, a handsome young man as he was sitting in between them. Their aura was indeed glorified by power but the Watson family was always confident about themselves. Sophia and Bella were conversing with them and side by side commanding servants to serve delicacies to the guests. The Watson family was considered magnanimous in receiving guests and showing hospitality in their own unique 'way' according to the guest's 'behaviour'.

Sia was there in her study of her room, studying her subjects. Then Rish, went to her room and visited the study portion, taking the chair beside her.

Rish: "They are downstairs. I think you should come now. I'm desperately waiting for the thrilling drama to get started." he said looking at his sister.

Sia: "Let them eat something, otherwise after intaking my wits, they won't be able to intake and digest anything." she said not taking off the eyes from her book.

Rish: "But, what will you do this time?" he said in anticipation.

Sia: "Let it be a thrilling surprise for you, otherwise it will lose its thrill." she said.

Rish: "So, what are you wearing?" he asked.

Sia: "The same dress I'm wearing right now. Why should I change my lifestyle for someone who is nothing to me." this time she said looking at her brother.

Rish: "Hmm. You are absolutely right. Why should you change yourself for someone? But what if someone wants to change himself for you?" he asked.

Sia: "That's even worse, because I don't like guys who don't want to be themselves and want to change for others." she said casually.

Rish: "This means, at any cost you won't consider anyone to be in your life." he said.

Sia: "You got it." she nodded with a smile.

Rish: "Which material was used by God in your creation, I wonder?" he said narrowing his eyes.

And in response, Sia just shrugged her shoulders.

Rish, standing and bending a little, by forwarding his hand towards his sister in a gentleman style, said;

"So, May we go now, Her Majesty?"

Sia, keeping her hand in her brother's hand and reciprocating the gestures, said;

"Sure, Mr. Watson."

And they proceeded for living room. She was wearing a casual top and jeans with a pair of home slippers. Her simplicity was also bonus point to her persona. She descended smoothly without any hesitation like she is the queen of the whole territory and everyone present there, was not more than the public of the kingdom. Rish was beside her and was noticing everyone.

As soon as the young man (suitor), looked at her while descending from stairs, he was mesmerized by her utterly and his eyes were reflecting the gesture which Sia hated the most. Rish also noticed the lewdness in 'his' eyes but he was always very confident about his sister as he prepared her physically by making her learn various martial arts and she proved herself as the majestic student. And moreover, he was himself very amused to see her calibre of mindfulness in every aspect. These siblings were adorned by beautiful features and aura which could sway any one.

Sophia noticed her children's presence and introduced them to the guests.

Sophia: "They are my daughter and son. 'Sia and Rish'. And Sia, come sit here, they..." she was interrupted by Sia.

Sia: "I know mum. They have come with a marriage proposal for me." she said.

She was already in full mood to outsmart that young man as she noticed his lusty eyes at the first glance.

She sat on the sofa with her brother Rish which was opposite to guests'.

The young man seemed to be confident about his looks, and his eyes never left Sia's. He started checking her out from head to toe without letting anyone notice him. But Sia and Rish noticed this.

Sia kept her arms at the back of the sofa by extending and sat in a figure four leg lock position just like her brother Rish. Rish looked at her and smiled. Her position looked quite manly. And she wanted to describe her internal thoughts by this position. As she noticed 'that man' checking her out, she sat in more open way to give him more visibility of her body, and as thought, the young man was stunned by this gesture and lowered his eyes.

Aunt Bella frowned to see Sia like this; while, Sophia was curious from inside.

This gesture conveyed the attitude of both aggression and defensiveness. The meaning of this position is 'War'. For instance, in a debate, if a person feels very sure about his\her arguments, shows this gesture. As the person hears the arguments of the opponents, the person might take up this gesture, thinking;

"When will they finish? I can't wait to attack them with my wits."

And so was with Sia. The young man tried to be a very filial and obidient child sitting with his parents. His parents found this gesture of Sia awkward but who cares.
