you have a heart, and I am also an idiot to believe that you are a good person. It’s all my fault, okay?”
She didn’t even look at Murthy or Shoba, but just marched outside!
Bharath was still confused.
“Baskar, I don’t understand! What made you think that Subha is pretending to you?”
Baskar shook his head.
“Baski, there seems to be some sort of misunderstanding. Why don’t you tell Bharath what happened? There might be a simple explanation for that” argued Murthy.
“Bharath, I heard Subha tell you that she was acting kind to me because she wanted me to feel bad about my behavior. Don’t you remember that?”
“I don’t think I remember anything like that. But she did say kill him with kindness, that’s what you are talking about?”
“Yes, that is it. I just told her that, and she screamed and just left,” complained Baskar.
“You have misunderstood the context, Baskar. It’s a joke between us. We were actually talking about Suji. I had been pursuing Suji’s love for months, but she had been very reluctant to accept my love. During the time around the concert, I was trying to stay away from Suji, hoping that would help her realize her love for me. Subha was questioning my motive and when I told her my intentions, she was teasing me. That’s when I started the topic about you. Subha was literally blushing and said that as a joke. You know Subha! She would never pretend to be anyone. She is a sincere and very sweet girl.”
Baskar stood there without emotions. He was not sure how to react.
