The hot coffee!

She was usually disliked , from the sight of her face. He had found her homely & dull hitherto, with nothing much to her credit, but her lovely smile and shrewd talks…Not an adequate reason for him to fall in love with her. But today, he wanted to see her, the desire was intense… He’s heroic…Not he is, really..but he makes people around feel so… Her presence always lifted him from the pressure he could not define. He felt , when he thought of her, nothing would ever replace her…. He prepared himself to explain how he feels… He started… rode towards … cursing the traffic lights whenever they turned red… He wondered if he should have announced his visit. There she was waiting out…as if she knew he would come this time. He felt at peace. Oh no..he had something to fear about.. His confusion needed no explanation. She could easily notice. She was not happy about it. She smiled, slowly, delicately..’Hello Raghav, How do u do?’ Her tone indicated it was not an invitation…He felt an unfamiliar pressure in his heart… ‘Fine Vaishu, How r u?’ He entered the drawing room… the room radiated peace usually …but now he feared the lights threw light on his emotions. ‘Would u like to have some coffee Raghav ?’, ‘…….’ No response from him. She switched on the TV and went in.. It played the recent super hit song ‘Sariya ithu thavara ……’ He found himself impatient.. Took himself off from his seat and switched off the TV. He could smell the aroma of coffee surrounded everywhere in the room…She doesn’t like coffee .. She is not a regular kitchen visitor as well.. But still she makes good coffee..May be..she learnt for him. ‘ hey…Why, Y did u switch off the TV?, that’s a good song, the lyrics are too good..it depicts the natural emotion of the guy..’ he felt secure..He could relate himself and start the topic. He was thinking how to launch the facts. Should he really? Yes..he cannot wait more…… She felt alone in his presence. Realization of her loneliness struck her suddenly. ‘Why is his behavior indifferent ? What has happened to him?. Should I ask him?’ She cannot continue to be unvoiced. ‘Why are you dull ? Any problem?’ Does he deserve this compassion..No he doesn’t.. He is going to blot all her faith in him … ‘ Vaishu…Of course Yes.. Do u want me to say? ‘ His face was speechless , he gave a look as if he did not speak anything at all. She gave a plain stare , ‘ if u want , you have to..’ . He felt that the sentence implied much more than what it actually means.. Yes..Only if he expresses himself.. he could at least know if he wins or loses… He has to do . . ‘ Vaishu..’, his words trembled. She has always known Raghav as a person with a rigid tone.. will never lose its stiffness ..it always meant that he is strong and he knows more. ‘ Vaishu, I wish you were with me always…’ He felt relieved, he was expecting a blast from her. But the ambience that his heart achieved after this struggle, was seen in the room too… She slowly raised her voice to say.. ‘ hey.. Come on yaar.. I may not leave u, unless u want to..’ he can understand that she did not understand his meaning . He did not want to leave it like that… ‘ Vaishu..I mean ….’ . She knows what he wants to say..Of course, she expected this to happen sometime in the future..but not this early. She could neither say ‘no , I may not’ …. Or say ‘yes..i may’ … because she likes him.. she thought that she has not yet got the maturity to decide on it. She does not want things to end that way or start that way… She never knew what made her feel his closeness to her. No one around who had known them, could feel that they really shared much than what they really see.. they were two extremes…but they were able to enjoy their differences and find enough common ground to sustain a healthy relationship. She did not want the world to know it either… She did not want it to happen.. She wants years to wait for them to decide … ‘ Raghav..I can understand .Why do u worry about something before it happens.. Face it when you come to it…Don’t expend time in preparing to face a lion when it is only a cat…it May or may not happen.. don’t confuse urself ..this is not the time..just forget today…. Be poised …be strong as ever… I don’t want to see u ruled by emotions, Take care..’ She deserved an admiration.. He loved her reply..He thought she was mature than her years… His emotions were ruled by her words. She felt a pleasant smile in her heart… P.S Ithil varum katchigulam sambavangalum karpanaiye....
