20.You & Me - Sandhya

  

Thulasi was very much shocked. If she hadn’t been attracted to Dinakaran she would have probably brushed this incident as ‘just what happens in his society’ and would have moved on. But since she has started loving him and has been thinking a lot about him in the past few days, she was not able to accept what she saw. If Dinakaran had given her a breather probably she would have hid her feelings as usual. But fortunately or unfortunately Dinakaran saw her and his face showed glimpses of surprise. It has been months since he had met her in his home.

“Hello Thulasi! Come in…”

The other girl moved slightly away from him hearing this and also turned towards Thulasi.

“Misha, this is Thulasi and Thulasi this is my friend Misha…”

He introduced the women to each other. Both of them looked at each other as if to weigh the other person.

“You are very beautiful Thulasi” said Misha with a friendly smile.

But Thulasi was not in a mood to accept any compliments. She just stared at Misha. But Misha seemed to be not disturbed by that.

“Ok Dinu, I am leaving now. I will talk to aunty later. Don’t forget my party tomorrow. I will be waiting for you.”

“Come on Misha, how can I miss your party? I will be there on time”

“You better be, otherwise I will share all your dirty secrets…” said Misha with a teasing wink.

Dinakaran smiled and looked at Thulasi. Thulasi ofcourse was in a boiling state. She was standing there as if a statue who can listen but not talk.

“Thulasi, I don’t know whether you will like to come to my party. It’s a drinks party… If you are ok with that, you are most welcome. But surely I will arrange another party for you very soon… I want to talk to you…”

Thulasi stood quiet and Misha waved bye to Thulasi with a smile and left the scene.

Dinakaran looked at Thulasi with a smile. Still Thulasi was standing in the same place.

“Come in Thulasi. Why are you standing there? Come in and take your seat.” Dinakaran showed her a sofa and sat in the opposite sofa.

Thulasi came inside and sat in the sofa and gave a cold stare at Dinakaran. Dinakran who was admiring Thulasi’s elegance and beauty was a bit confused by her stare.

“What happened Thulasi?”

Dinakaran’s question had both curious and soothing tone.

“Who is this Misha?”

Though Thulasi wanted to make it sound as a simple question, she was not able to hide her anger. And it reflected in her speech also. Dinakaran was surprised. He could see the anger in her eyes. A smile again appeared in his eyes. He has never seen Thulasi losing her temper…

“Misha? I told you she is my friend”

“Friend? You mean girl friend?”

“Hmmm… Though she was in her jeans, I thought she looked very much like a girl, you had some doubt Thulasi?”

Dinakaran’s teasing reply added oil to Thulasi’s anger. She looked at him angrily…

“Oh Thulasi! Take it easy. I was just kidding. Yes, since she is a girl, she is my girl friend. But maybe she is a bit old enough to be called as a girl so you can call her as my woman friend also or simply a friend”

“Whatever be it, is this the way you behave?”

“What did we do?”

“Standing in a living room and hugging and kissing…”

Only after completing the sentence Thulasi realized that she spoke too much. It’s not her business to mind whether he hugs and does whatever with others. Why should she bother? Thulasi tried to pacify herself.

Meanwhile Dinakaran kept looking at Thulasi. He could guess the thoughts going in her mind. Many a times he has imagined her like this… Showing her anger at him... Not hiding her feelings… But he never expected Thulasi to be jealous… But in an odd way, he liked it too!

“Thulasi, Misha is my friend…”

He said that in a very soft tone. Thulasi, who was trying to hide her feelings, was a bit ashamed. From his tone, she could realize that he has understood her thoughts. She wanted to get away from him fast…

“Yes I know… Sorry for interfering in your personal things Dinakaran… I came here to hand over this file to Seetha amma. I assume she is not here…”

Thulasi spoke fast without looking at his eyes while Dinakaran was admiring her determination!

“Thulasi, Misha was born and brought up in London…”

“That’s ok sir… I am sorry that I asked you that…”

“Really?”

“What?”

“You are really sorry?”

Only then Dinakaran’s smile caught her attention. He is enjoying this? She bit her teeth… She tried hard to not show her anger…

“Come on Thulasi, why do you try to hide yourself? If you are angry, show it off. Don’t you know you have all rights in the world to do so?”

Thulasi looked at him slightly surprised…
