Happy reading📖😘❤!

Back to the past! Two days after the day when Kavin enquired about Kathir's feelings towards Maya and asked him about our favorite doctor Nivetha😉! Approximately a month ago from present!

Kathir's POV!

It has been two days since Kavin asked me about my feelings towards Kathrika! I really felt so bad for kanns. She's so sweet yet sour and bitter things are always happening for her!  I talked with my frnd Vishal yesterday and he said that his cousin is not available for 3 weeks. I already informed this to Kavin

And To be honest, I can't sleep and eat properly for these two days without thinking about his words.

You and she exchanging looks when amma talked about her marriage and you get restless when shakthi talked with her. You didn't even flirt with anyone because of that tension which is so unlike you. I'm feeling like seeing me in you when I develop feelings for kanns. So only I asked you. You know me well, I don't like beating around bush and I'm very straightforward. So if you have any, just tell me. I'll help you to unite with her after her studies only if she too feels the same.

Everything he said is totally true! I can't help but feels frustrated whenever seeing her with other guys or thinking about her marriage with another one. And I can't believe that Kavin will support me for this. Even in my dreams too, i didn't think that he'll support me to be with kathrika.

He's very protective when comes to Maya and he didn't think twice before telling me that he'll help me with this. I don't know what to think and what to do! I'm totally blank! I don't even think about all these before but now, everything seems so quick!

This Kathrika also giving me weird looks, smile and stealing glances sometimes which makes me more confused. Nowadays, I can't even flirt with anyone because this kathrika occupied my mind and hea.. I mean mind totally.

I felt like cheating someone when I try to flirt. It was so unlike me. I didn't feel like this before. It infuriates me and at the same time warms me. I hate this yet I love this!

God! I'm going insane now!

Will it be alright if I talk with her once? Shall I get free from this weird feelings if I try flirt with her? I mean, as I told before, I don't flirt with my love because she's special. So if I flirt with Kathrika means, then she's also a normal girl to me nothing special! Ryt?

But what will she think if I flirt with her? Will she hate me? Or will she stop talking with me? What will I do if she didn't talk with me? Then it'll be more infuriating than now!!! No!!

But why it hurts even to imagine her hatred towards me? She's not my friend ryt? Or is she? No.. Then she's not my crush too.. And sister.. No there's no such word in my dictionary!

What about love?

Who are you??

I'm your conscience!

Why are you here now? And why are you talking stupid! I'm in no mood for your stupid jokes okay? I'm already frustrated.

Hey cool! I'm just trying to help you! Trust me you'll feel better after talking with me!

Don't talk much! Just come to the point before I lose my patience!

You're in love! Simple! Why are you complicating this? You're in love with your kathrika!

Stop it! What the hell are you speaking? I don't love her! She's much younger than me! And.. I didn't see her like that and neither she do!

Is it so? Then tell me, will you be happy if she married to someone else? Or will you digest if she's in love with someone?

What??? Nooooo!! No way in the hell I'm going to allow that!!!!

Enough enough! Then it's as clear as crystal that you're in love with her!

But.. But.. I.. I..

What but.. But..? Do you think that she'll never marry and live her life as single? Or did you think that she's a robot so that she'll never love anyone?

That.. That.. I didn't think to that extent! You're confusing me more! Just get lost and give me some peace for a while! Please!

Fine! Think and decide wise! Bye!

Thank god it was gone! Sighing, I rested my head on the headrest of my seat.

Hi da! God! Why can't this conscience leave me in peace for sometime?

What the hell is your problem now? I yelled annoying.

Oops! Why are you yelling at me da? I didn't do anything! I just come to see you.. Someone said. Oh no! I thought that my conscience is back!

Nowadays, this is happening often making everyone think that I'm insane. Great!

I opened my eyes and saw one of my colleagues as well as frnd Dinesh! He's a good frnd. He shares everything with me. He's not as close as Kavin because Kavin is like my brother!

I.. I'm sorry da.. I didn't see you! I thought someone. Leave it! Why are you looking little off today? Any problem? You want my help? I asked him. He lowered his head.

Yes da. I don't know what to do with the situation now. And I don't have anybody to share this except you! He said.

Yes da.. You know right? You can tell me anything! I encouraged him to share.

That.. You know my sister Narmada ryt? She finished Bsc.Maths. She want to study PG. But my parents are adamant to make her get married only because I don't marry until she settled in life. They are Emotionally blackmailing us that they're already very old and they want to see us getting married. He paused.

So what da.. Nowadays, girls study even after marriage too. So just search the groom who accept to make her study after marriage. I said. He sighed.

Yes, they already searched the groom who accept for this and Narmada also agreed but.. He paused.

Then what's the problem da? I asked curiously.

The problem is he's too old for my sister and I don't want this! Narmada is just 21 and that guy is 28. There are 7 years gap between them! Just imagine, when my little sister is 33, he'll be already 40! And he's looking too old like uncle for his age now itself unlike us! Then how will he look when actually gets old?

At first Narmada also didn't like this age gap and she wanted someone in her age but I don't know what my parents or he said that she agreed immediately after talking with him for one time. He paused.

But what if she really like him? I asked him.

No da. I feel like he brainwashed my sister and she also accept as she's immature to decide her future. He's not even handsome da.. He.. He's like literally uncle! I swear she'll regret it later! I'm so disturbed! I don't know what to do!? He said with a frustrating sigh.

But why didn't you talk with your parents about this? I asked my doubt.

They're the one who chose him, then how can I make them understand! But I wonder where the brain of that guy gone that he accepted to marry a little girl! Tell me da.. If your mother chose a girl who's 7 years younger than you means, will you marry her? I'm definitely not! He asked me.

Wh.. What? I.. I mean.. I never will. I stammered. He stared at me.

Uhm... Can I ask you one thing? I asked him. He nodded.

Why are you saying that you'll never marry a girl who's much younger than you? I mean, I have reasons but I want to hear yours! I said trying to know what'll be the problem if that happens. He stared at me.

My reasons are also not exception da. I want a girl who'll understand me and I also want to understand her so it'll be difficult and awkward if I marry a small girl because our both thinking and activities will totally be different. She can't understand us and neither we do. It'll create so much problems.

And moreover she'll be young but we'll be old. She saw us like a oldie if we advice them about something. We can't tolerate if she talks freely with a guy of her age. And she'll regret if someone comments like we're too old for her. It'll create unwanted problems and I don't want that!

At first, it may seem okay but later she'll feel like she married a oldie and we'll feel like we married a kid! Both are not good. So it's better if we marry a girl around our age or with 2 to 3 years difference. That's it da.. He said. I don't know what to answer for this.

Don't worry da! If he's not the one for your sister, then the marriage will never happen! Let's hope in destiny! I tried to console him. He somewhat become okay and left.

Now thinking about what he said, if I love maya, then it'll create unwanted problems in future. Like Shakthi, there'll be more handsome boys are there in her age. And I'm not even in the list!

Why am I confusing and complicating for something in which I'm not even a part of it? Kathir! Let's forget this and concentrate on your work! That Kathrika is nothing but a normal girl for you! That's it! Yeah!!

I consoled my mind and heart ignoring the screaming denials inside. I made up my mind already.

Later that, 2 week went like that. I buried myself with work and other stuffs as I don't even want some time to think. Because my mind only think about her in spite of my scoldings and warnings.

Today is Saturday. I went to PlayStation to occupy my mind for some time as I don't want to think anything.

After playing till I get bored, I decided to return home. While returning, my bike stopped and didn't start and the road is empty. To the top of this, the mechanical shop is far away from here. Great!

I sighed and slowly started pushing my bike while walking. When I turned right, I saw her!

God! What she is doing here? Is it really she? Or am I hallucinating?

Kathir! Escape!!!

Slowly I turned back and walked back the way but stopped hearing someone's voice from the street where she was walking.

Hi dear! Do you think you can escape from me? Because of you, I lost my job and spent 3 months in jail! I searched you for more than a month in thirunelveli! Then only I came to know that you're here.. So I came here to give you a sweet surprise! Someone said and the voice is somewhat similar.

I stopped walking and peeked at the street. Maya's back facing me and that guy's face is little hided behind Maya as he's standing in front of maya. Maya stumbled seeing him making a clear view of his face for me.

That photographer??

Wh.. What do you want? Why are you here? She asked stammering but anger is prominent in her voice.

Voah.. Voah.. Why am I here? Didn't I told you why? For you! Because of you only, I lost everything in my life! I came to take revenge on you! He said evilly smirking. 

What the hell you're talking? Do you want me to call police now? Just wait and see! You moron! She shouted taking her mobile.

Shit! What's the problem with this network now??? She murmured and he laughed evilly.

Do you think that I didn't prepare for anything? I know about this area. Network is too weak here. I did a lot of hardwork to trap you and I can't leave you easily dear. Because you're so special for me.

Saying this, he winked at her. She immediately ran and picked up a stone from ground and targeted at him.

Stay there! Don't come near me! Otherwise I'll kill you! She yelled.

Hahhahaha.. Silly girl! Do you think you can kill me with that stone? And do you think I didn't prepare for this? Saying this, he took a egg from his bag.

Do you think you can take revenge on me with that chicken egg?😂 Maya mocked him and laughed sarcastically.

Stupid Kathrika!!

You're really something, aren't you? Am I looking like a fool to come here with a chicken egg? It's an acid egg! Saying this he laughed vigorously.

Wh.. What? Yo-You are kidding ryt? Maya stammered.

Why should I? Everything happened is only because you're beautiful. You're pride about that right? Let me make you ugly so that no one like me don't have to face these kind of problems in future! He said walking towards her.

St-Stop there! Otherwise I'll.. I'll throw this stone at your face.. Maya said thinking that she's threatening him.

Crazy! Did she left her brain in home?

Oh my god! You're so cute you know! He said and laughed again.

But I don't let this cuteness divert me once again.. Get ready for the pain darling! Saying this, he threw the egg on her face. She closed her eyes while rooting on the spot with fear.

I made quick movement and pulled her with me to the side. We both landed on ground.

In this mean time, he tried to escape but I caught him quickly. I beat him to black and blue until my knuckles lost strength to beat. Blood came from all over his face.

Maya came with a stone and threw it on the place where sun never raise for him. She gave a murderous look.

You bastard! You said that me being beautiful is the reason for all ryt? No!! Hell no!! Everything happened because of you being Man! No you're not a man at all! And now you can't be a man too! Because of this only, you took my inappropriate pics ryt? Now that 'thing' is useless! So no one like me have to face these kind of problems because of you! Just think if someone threw acid on your mom's face, what will you do? You bloody moron! She yelled at the top of her voice. Even I was taken aback by her yelling.

Maya.. Come! Let us hand him to police! Come.. I consoled her. She hugged me and sobbed on my chest. We heard police vehicle syren sound.

They came on spot seeing him with blood while passing the street.

What's happening here? One police man asked us. Maya said everything to police showing the acid egg which is now in ground.

Policeman raged hearing all this. He clenched his fist into a ball.

Don't worry you two! We'll handle this spineless coward! Take care of your wife.. She needs your support now. He said genuinely.

N.. No sir.. She's not my wife. I said. He smiled.

It's ok pa.. Today's girlfriend future wife ryt? Ok.. Can you please come to police station to give a statement? He asked.

That.. I can't say that sir. She's too scared now. I don't think that she can give statement now. May we come tomorrow? I said. Before he could answer, maya interrupted.

No sir! I'll come right now! I can't sleep before seeing him behind bars! And please don't let him free from jail for his lifetime! She said furiously. He smiled with a nod.

I went to my bike and tried to start now. For my surprise, it gets started immediately. Everything happens for a reason!

With this thought, Me and this kathrika went to police station. She gave complaint with statement.

When we came outside, she hugged me tightly and sobbed again giving me thousand sparkles throughout my body.

I.. I can't imagine.. what would have happened.. to me.. If you didn't come there.. I.. I don't know.. how to thank you.. Thank you.. She said in between her sobs. I slowly break the hug.

Uhm.. Maya this is road.. Everyone will mistake us like that police man.. I said slowly which is almost like a whisper.

So what? I don't care about that! And what's wrong in that? I like you! Saying this, she again hugged me.

What is she mean by this 'I like you'? And this hugging in road and all?

Hey Kathrika! Don't wet my shirt! It's costly! Leave me! I said trying to pretend that I'm not affected by the hug and to make her normal. She frowned.

Don't you know? Girls tears are more precious than anything? Be proud that my precious tears made your shirt 1000 times more worth! She snapped at me.

Ok ok! Don't start your useless blabbering! Come I'll drop you in your home! And I want to ask you this! Why the hell you go there? I asked.

That my friend's house is there. So I went there to collect some notes. She said.

Who's that frnd? Kavitha? I asked merely.

Haha! No! Karthi😁 She said with a sheepish grin.

I heard this name before🤔! where??🤔🤔 💡 It's her crush name isn't it? The name which she draw in her mehendi!!!

Karthi? He's your senior ryt? Why you go to his home that too alone? I asked her controlling my anger to the extent.

You remember? She asked me surprised.

That's not an answer for my question. I asked sternly.

I didn't go there alone. I went with my friends. He's a topper so our mam told us to ask any doubts to him in her absence. She's in her maternity leave. So we went there to clear some doubts and collects some notes. I finished my works sooner than others and I felt uncomfortable there. So I left first. That's it. She said.

Why did you feel uncomfortable? I asked her.

Uhmm.. That's nothing. She said trying to divert me.

I want to know that nothing! Can you tell me? I asked with a blank face.

Uhm.. Actually.. That.. His stares disturbed me. It was intense and weird. I don't like that. So I left. That's it. She said.

Is he interested in her?

But why you feel uncomfortable? After all he's your crush right? So the thought that he acknowledge you makes you happy ryt? I asked my doubt. She frowned

Because what's so happy than our crush acknowledge us?

For your kind information, he's just my crush not my lover! And his stares are intense which I don't like even a bit. For me, crush means just for sighting not for emotional feelings. I have thousands of crush, if they started acknowledge me like this means, I'll go insane! She said with a frown. I nodded.

Uhmm ok ok.. Don't get offended! I just asked my doubt. Now come I'll drop you in your home! I said. She saw me weirdly.

Home? Don't you care about me a little bit? I was just escaped from a acid attack not from a paintball okay? Don't you try diverting me by taking me somewhere? She asked with a pout.

Actually I too don't want to send her home in this situation. But I also don't want getting into trouble by myself. Seeing and talking with her disturbs me more than I thought! To all above this, her hug and words 'I like you'!

So I'm going to drop her in ammu's boutique so that she can divert herself right?

See! I know you Kathrika! You're perfectly fine now, aren't you? And moreover, everyone in your home will be worried if you don't go there in time. And to the top of this, your anna will never leave me if I come with you late. I don't want to get beaten up by the crazy anna because of his crazy sister! I'll drop you at Ammu's boutique so that you can divert yourself. Now come with me. I said. She pouted and twisted her lips.

Is it? Then just leave! I'll go by myself! Good bye! Saying this, she started walking. This crazy girl!!!

Hey kathrika! Wait!! Fine! Where do you want to go? I asked.

Uhm.. Movie? She asked grinning.

No! I said and she started walking again.

God this girl!

Fine! Movie! Come! I said. She immediately came and sat on my bike.

We both went to nearby theater. She asked me to buy tickets for some movie which I don't even have any idea. I bought popcorns.

We both sat and the movie started. That was a ghost movie. I looked at her in disbelief. I'm so scared of ghosts and this crazy girl makes me watch it in theater! Great!

She started eating popcorns and watched it like that was some funny movie. Here, I'm already shaking. In one scene, the ghost came suddenly and I clutched her shoulder burying my face into it in fear. She first stiffened and then laughed.

She finished her popcorn quickly. I felt a cold hand brushing mine which radiates heat from me while taking my popcorn. That's when I saw that she's taking popcorn from mine!

Hey Kathrika! This is mine! I whispered at her.

Oh thanks for reminding me! She said and again started eating. I gritted my teeth while glaring her. I picked the popcorn far from her in my left hand while she's in my right. She leaned and tried to snatch it.

She leaned close that she didn't even notice that her breath fanning my cheeks and hands brushing my chest. I felt my heart beat quickened and my breath got struck.

She finally left and sat in her seat while huffing and puffing with a annoyed face. I let out the breath which I hold for god knows how much time. I gave the popcorn to her immediately.

She grinned and again started watching the movie. And whenever the scary scenes came, I gripped her hands. After some time, she entwined her hands with mine and squeezed soothingly which makes my fears vanish in a second.

Then the movie ended much to my relief. I dropped her in home leaving my sleep and appetite with her and went to my home. I sighed.

Four days have passed. Still I can't find my sleep and appetite. Anything my mind commands me is to think about her alone.. Not about work, not about sleep or food!

Today is Wednesday! And this saturday is kanns appointment with the siddha doctor. I finished my work and now I'm getting ready to go home. My mobile vibrated. I took and saw a message.

Kathrika👻: What the hell are you doing in your office till now! Come fast! I'm waiting in parking lot near your bike!

What😳😳? Why she's here??

Me: Why are you here?

Kathrika👻: I want to talk with you. So come before I barge into your office.

🙄No wonder if She do that too.. Let me go before she do something crazy.

Me: Wait there! I'll come. And what do you wanna talk?

Kathrika👻: If I can tell that in msg, then  what do you think I came here for? To play hide and seek with you?

This kathrika and her comebacks! Uff! No use in texting her!

Me: I'll come in 2minutes.

I went there and saw her near my bike.

Why are you here? What do you want to talk with me? I asked.

Not here! Let's go there. She pointed towards the coffee shop. I nodded and we both went there.

We ordered coffee and the order came. We both looked at each other and started sipping our coffee.

Now tell! What's it? I asked curiously while sipping my coffee.

Do you love someone? She asked suddenly making me choke on my drink. I coughed. She handed me tissue.

Why are you asking this? I asked with disbelief.

Just answer me. She said calmly.

Maya! I thought something important that you wanna talk. But if this is the purpose you came here means, I'm in no mood for this as I have lots of works. Go to your home.  I said calmly. She looked at me.

That's not the answer for my question. She said so calmly. I sighed.

Why do you want to know that? I asked her.

Because I don't want to love something which is others. That's it. She said calmly taking sips from her coffee.

What? That's not an answer, or is it? I asked with a confused face trying to understand what she meant.

You're really tubelight, aren't you? She asked with a chuckle.

But that's what impressed me more! She said with a blush.

Wait! This kathrika is blushing? Is she even know to blush?

What do you mean? Can you get to the point straight? I didn't get your puzzled words! I said little annoyed.

You're such a stupid! But I love this stupid! Yes. I love you! Your flirty yet innocent nature. Your irritating yet warming talks. Your mocking yet caring gestures. Everything! I love your everything! I want to be your everything too.

I know we didn't even get in friendship terms. But I guess you're more than friends or crush for me. I felt safe and secure in your arms which I felt only with you after my family.

And don't think to flirt anymore with anyone! I don't like sharing or show casing mine! And don't think that I'll leave you! I don't take decisions without thinking but if I took decision, then that's my final and no one can change that!

She said everything which making me go numb! 

TO BE CONTINUED!
