    Sorry for the delayed post. A very bad case of writer's block.

    Chapter-22


    Harini


    My world was changing fast. Srikanth took me as a guest to Toastmasters club in office , on hearing the club name I wondered whether it was a cooking club and he explained it’s public speaking club. I know I need great improvement in that area but never tried to do anything about it.



    I also found there are many in office who are preparing for CAT exams. One of my senior in team was also preparing and he introduced me too similar aspirants in office. Since my team had also joined for activity, I couldn’t get to speak much with Srikanth or Dev.



    ‘Where are you?’ Srikanth’s call disturbed my thoughts. We are meeting today so that he will assist me in preparation and I have long list of questions to ask him.



    ‘Almost reached and I could see your car.’ I said. ‘Are we going to office?’ I asked as I got into the car.



    ‘Nope. Will take you to a special place.’ He has a smile which would make a girl go weak in knees. He looked handsome in White T-shirt/Blue jean. I saw the car entering a posh gated community.



    ‘Are we going to your house?’ I asked.



    ‘No our old house, we are no longer living here. ‘ Srikanth said parking the car in enormous car parking.’That’s where Sriram’s startup is..’ he said pointing to another villa. As he opened the doors of the villa I was stumped over. The reception area could fit our entire house. The master bedroom he showed was enormous enough accommodate family of ten. When I asked him why they were no longer living here, he said they have moved to a bigger house and I couldn’t imagine a bigger house than that.



    ‘So you haven’t even rented this place out?’ I asked admiring the pool from master bedroom.



    ‘No, my father and Priya has lot of good memories, I mean this is where they met.’ He smiled. I was admiring the garden when Srikanth excused himself and went inside the house.He came back with coffees and biscuits.



    ‘Shall we get on with how your preparation is going?’ he asked.



    ‘Yeah..but coffee first.’ I replied. ‘I love this place so much..’



    ‘My favorite place too. Someday I will take you to the house we are living.’ He said. I didn’t fail to notice the ‘someday’ usage.



    ‘This place is clean considering no one is living here.’ I said looking at the well maintained garden.



    ‘Sriram often uses this place either for crashing at night or cooking a quick lunch.A cleaner comes regularly. That’s the reason some of our furniture are still there.’ He said.



    Post coffee, we discussed on entrance topics and he was advising me on how to prepare for them.



    ‘Are you following me?’ he asked. We were sitting in an enormous room that he said was used prior by his father as his office room.



    ‘Of course..’ I lied truth being said I was lost some times looking into his eyes.



    ‘Hmmm..’ he touched my head and sat next to me.



    ‘Thanks for spending your Sunday for me. Not many would do the same.’ I said treasuring the moments his eyes looked into my face.



    ‘I love to ..You are a different person Harini, rather than waiting for someone to change your life, you are doing your best. You just need a push..’ he said.



    I smiled. I need to do this to make things better for my mother, Nandhini and ofcourse me. ‘I have to right other than waiting as damsel in distress.’ I asked him and he laughed. He talked about the list of newspapers, magazines that I should read everyday and mentioned that all those are available in our office library. Srikanth really thought everything through me.



    I was surprised to know, Srikanth actually knew a lot about cooking. Though I was good in cooking, I couldn’t make head or tails in the enormous kitchen and there he was cooking as if he was a pro.



    ‘How come you cook? Don’t you have cooks at home?’ I asked.



    ‘Not back then. My mother never bothered about feeding us and father was working very hard. So right from younger age we both were taught to cook. My father used to say it will come handy any time.’



    ‘True. Most girls like their man to cook. But I haven’t seen anyone in my family do that.’ I vented out loud.



    ‘You are an amazing cook, you are going to make your girl happy.’ I said while we were eating lunch.



    He smiled ‘Priya used to say the same.’



    ‘Priya is that bakery owner right? Is she related to you?’ I asked.



    ‘She is my step mother. I thought I told you.’ He said.



    Though I didn’t react, it struck me. My feelings for Srikanth were pointless. His opulent life was miles away from my single bedroom rented house. His step mother owns a bakery where my mother works in and how can I imagine this would be possible.

    ‘Anything wrong?’ he asked understanding something was wrong.



    ‘Chilli..’ I reached for water. Srikanth handed me a pastry saying it’s from the bakery.



    Post lunch we discussed on few topics and I was distracted. A sudden ache filled me and asked me to control my feelings.



    ‘Yes or no?’ he asked and I didn’t even listen to what he asked.



    ‘Yes.’ I said.



    He whistled and said ‘Ofcourse you have to. That’s your dare.’



    ‘What? Sorry I didn’t listen..’



    He lifted my face, looked into my eyes and asked ‘You are not normal. Any problem?’



    ‘Bad headache. I want to go home.’ I said.



    Soon we were in the car , I badly wanted to break the silence.



    ‘What were you saying?I mean what’s my dare? I asked.



    ‘Sometime later, when you are upto it.’ He responded. Is that possible he understood what I was going through?



    ‘I forgot to ask how was the movie? You went out with Urvashi right?’ I asked.He didn’t respond just smiled, I noticed he was sweating a lot.



    When we were almost about to reach the home, he stopped the car in quiet corner.



    ‘Harini..I want to ask you something. Don’t think it as obligation because..’ he hesitated. I have never seen him like that as he was always sure of what to talk.



    ‘Sure. Just tell me…’



    He looked at the road and then stared at me and asked ‘Would you like to hangout with me and see where it takes us?’



    It was my turn to break into sweat. My heart jumped with joy but my mind firmly said no. This is not movie Harini, it’s real life. Stop it now than feeling for it later. I couldn’t possibly answer him.
