"It's so calm " Karthik said . Tara was sipping her coffee and she nodded to agree with Karthik. Many months have passed by and it was a daily habit for both of them to go out for a coffee after Tara returned from school.Often Karthik directly go to her school and pick her. She'll be in her uniforms and she looked more prettier than usual . She had her white shirt and navy blue jacket with the school emblem over it and red tie and an identity card . Karthik was gazing at her face while she was busy eating her sandwich with tomato ketchup. He had a blush over his face while she licked her fingers and continued staring only at her food . Kiran always complained that they don't take him with them but Karthik was not ready to solve his complaints at all , instead he take him outside when Tara wasn't around . Karthik pay the bills and also take her for shopping during weekends. Karthik made sure she is happy by all his means . He never loved to see her cry so he never gives her a reason for that . Kiran with a grumpy face sometimes tease Karthik calling him Tara's Secret Boyfriend and Karthik blushes inside but gives him serious look outside . Even that day he took her for coffee .
Tara secretly enjoyed all those .Every girls in the neighborhood wish to get 'One' chance to have a coffee together with Karthik while she got the chance everyday . Tara was getting prettier and Karthik seldom helped her choose her dress to make her look even attractive .
"So how's the food ?" Karthik asked.
"Pretty good . I love the sandwiches here ." Tara replied licking her fingers .
"Should I order one more ?"
"Oh! No please . I'm. full ."
"Okay , shall we go for a shopping now ? It's Saturday tomorrow . "
"Oh , no .. I don't feel it fair to make you pay bills all time . I think we can go tomorrow then I can take my credit card with me ."
"Don't worry about the money . I'm fine spending it for the right person ."
"Well , you should find a Girlfriend then .She will be the right person. "
Karthik fell silent for about a moment and then he said ;
" Girl friend is just a future thing . At this moment , you feels the right person for me ."
Tara loved it . So she agreed to go for Shopping with him .

"I heard that someone proposed you last day" Kiran asked Tara who was laying on her bed scrolling Instagram .
"Huh !? Oh that senior boy from my school .. yeah . You heard it right . But from whom did you heard it ? Tara asked curiously .
"Well , Your new friend Lily chats with me in insta . She was blabbering something last night and she accidentally told me this .
"Lily is not my close friend Kiran , She just know me from the dance classes . "
"Oh ! So who is your close friend ?"
" Well , 6 months there and I'm close to only few people. One among them is Rina .She is super cool . She talks nonsense sometimes but still she is trustworthy and caring ."
"Oh , so who am I then ? "
"You ... hmm ... you are my Stupid friend. "
"How dare you ?" Kiran made a grumpy face and she laughed .
" By the way , did you accept his proposal ?"
" No . He was just checking if I would fall .But making Tara as girlfriend is not an easy task ."
"Ya .Even my brother is trying for that post ."
"Huh? "
"Nothing ."
"He saw me going with Karthik a few times and he stopped bothering me telling ''Oh now we won't have chances . She's with Karthik".But I wonder how he know Karthik's name .
"Karthik was Basketball champion last year . Also he is centre of attraction . I envy him sometimes"
"He's your brother "
"That's why I don't envy much " .
They sat there chatting for a little more time and then Kiran told a bye and went back to his home and Tara took her phone to check for Ronn's messages .
**********
"How's school life " Tara asked Ronn . They make night calls while Tara will be laying on her bed to sleep .That's the time when they both turn free after all their busy schedules .Tara talks about everything that happened that day and Ronn listen with keen interest and same happens while Ronn explains . It would be midnight when they tell their Good mornings and Good nights together and go to sleep . Ronn never told her about Ella . But that night he really wished to tell her because the next day he was going to propose his First love , - Ella . But he couldn't tell her . When she told her ''Bye Ronn .. See you tomorrow morning " , he really wish to tell her and seek her best wishes as he never did something without telling her and without her wishes .He muttered in his mind
"Tara , tomorrow I'm going to propose Ella . I know that you don't know her , so let me tell you - She's my first love . I hope your wishes are with me .I am so nervous to tell you this . Hope you understand dear . I won't forget you anyway .You will always remain my special Bestie life long , we will always stay this way forever . Good night Tara dear ".
But Ronn said it in mind and Tara didn't hear .
