" You wait there, I will kill you now," Shreya yelled at me.
"Okay guys, I am very tired. I want to sleep. Meet you tomorrow morning." vamshi left to our room.
We nodded our head as he looked extremely tired. The next day night he has a journey. He needed some rest.
I turned my head towards Shreya. She holds a water jug to pour water on me.
"Try to catch me, if you can..." I challenged her.
She started chasing behind holding a water jug to pour on me. But I was faster than her. I wanted to escape from her that I didn't notice Karthik before me.
I tried to slow my pace but it was already late. I bumped into his hard chest. I was about to fall and closed my eyes in fear. I sensed that my body didn't touch the ground still I was in the air. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Karthik's face. He was holding me placing one hand around my waist and another hand on my left shoulder to stop falling on the ground.
This was the first time. I was observing him from very close. He was so handsome with attractive dark brown eyes.
Without blinking my eyes, I was admiring him. I forgot all my surroundings.
" Are you okay?" he asked with a worried expression.
I nodded my head.
"Karthik, please hold her tightly. Don't leave her." Shreya shouted with an angry face.
" Karthik please leave me, she will pour water on me." I pleaded to him.
He was looking into my eyes. I felt as if he was looking into my soul. He made to stand straight and dragged me to hide behind him holding my wrist tightly. Accidentally Shreya poured water on Karthik instead of me. His shirt became wet with water.
"Sorry, I wanted to pour water on her, but…." Shreya was stammering.
He smiled and left that place.
I didn't understand why he made me stand behind him!!!!
"How dare to play a prank on me? You idiot you devil...." Shreya yelled at me.
"Sorry dear, you both are so stubborn. I don't have another option to unite you both" I answered her.
Shreya was glaring seriously.
"Thank you so much, my dear sister, to bring my love and my happiness back in my life. You don't know how happy I am now. You are the best " Arvind Anna gave a side hug.
"Anything for friendship and my brother" I replied.
I joined both Shreya and Arvind Anna hands together.
" I want to see you both happy forever. My friend loves you so much. Please keep her happy whole life" I said, Arvind anna.
"You are just my Karthi(Karthik)." Arvind Anna smiled at me.
" I promise you that I love your friend forever and never leave her hand. She is my heartbeat. Don't worry" Arvind anna assured me and pulled Shreya closer to him.
" Okay...carry on with your romance..." I winked my eye at them and went to check on Mr.Karthik.
I didn't found Karthik around us. Then I searched for him. First, I thought he might go to change his shirt. But I found him at the corner of the terrace.
Slowly, I went towards him.
"Why didn't you change your shirt?" I asked him.
He didn't reply to my question. I went beside him and noticed. He was smoking, thinking seriously about something.
"Are you regular to smoke?" I asked him curiously.
" Not a regular smoker, whenever I feel lonely. This will be my only companion" he replied showing the cigarette in his hand.
" Why are you feeling lonely?" I asked him.
"Just today's incident remembered about my old memories. I am missing my best friend" he answered looking at the sky.
I could see his eyes filled with tears and pain.
" You can call them or you can meet them" I suggested to cheer him.
" No I can't call them…I miss them so much," he told with a gloomy face.
Suddenly he hissed. Then I noticed there was a little burn between his fingers as he forgot to throw the cigarette in his hand.
"Is it paining?" I asked him.
He looked at my face and nodded his head as no.
" Don't smoke. It is not good for health" I suggested.
"I too said him to stop smoking but he is not listening to my words," Arvind Anna said.
I turned my head back and checked Shreya and Arvind Anna walking towards us.
" How many times, I told you not to smoke" Arvind Anna shouted on Karthik.
"I know you are missing them. One day everything will be normal. Please don't be sad" he hugged Karthik.
I and Shreya exchanged our looks as we didn't understand what they were talking about.
We stood silently and was watching them.
"Sorry to disturb your memorable moments" Karthik apologized Arvind Anna and Shreya.
"It's okay. As tomorrow is Sunday, shall we go for a long drive?" Arvind Anna asked us.
" Sure..." Shreya and Karthik replied excitedly.
"But, I can't come with you as I have to attend an interview in the RV group of the company. You people carry on." I replied to them.
"When did you applied for a job?" Arvind Anna asked seriously.
I never saw a serious look at Arvind Anna's face. I didn't understand what made him angry.
" You no need to attend that interview. If you want a job, there is a vacancy in my friend's company. You can join that company. Do you understand what I said" Arvind anna asked with an angry expression.
" But what happens if I attend that interview?" I asked in a low voice.
" No more discussions." He said sternly.
" I think in your office, there is a vacancy it seems. I hope you have no problem if she joins in your office" Arvind anna asked Karthik.
" If she is okay with that job. I have no problem" Karthik replied.
"But…. I want to get a job on my own and..." I was supposed to speak.
" If you really consider me as your brother. No more argument on this topic" Arvind Anna said.
I observed Karthik's face, his expressions also changed after hearing about the RV group of the company.
I thought that company might their competitor.
