Is she the fish out of water - Episode 4

     After staring at the situation for seconds Adhira could find that girl was Sahat's sister and her would be sister-in-law Pooja. She prepared herself to not express her excitement and came out with fake calmness to welcome Sahat.

     She admired the way he spoke to her parents. She admired his smile, the way he kept his mobile inside the pocket, the way he lifted his left eyebrow and everything.
She could feel the chill that comes, when air touches our skin after steaming for some minutes in her heart. To others vision she looked normal but inside she could realise the changing temperatures. She realised the warmth in her cheeks.

     With lots of struggles on hiding her excitement she managed to say, "Hi.. " to him with eye contact for a fraction of second. His warm smile with eye contact expressed his acceptance of her welcome.

     The way Sahat met her eyes made her realise how special she is to him. Before Sahat could begin a conversation with Adhira, she jumped towards Pooja.
 
     Pooja initiated the conversation with lots of questions and Adhira could feel how excited she was, from her voice. Adhira asked, "So Pooja what are you studying?" Adhira replicated the same excitement of Pooja. "Am doing Fashion Designing Anni". Both of them could suffer from the warmth that spread out in their cheeks due to happiness. "Anni do you know what? He asked me to bunk my classes today just to have a reason to see you". Adhira knew that if Pooja wanted to go home from hostel then she should cross Adhira's hometown.

     On hearing his conspiracy being leaked out Sahat turned his face towards Shruthi and he began to have conversation with her. "Hey Shru why don't you suggest your sister to hang out with me before wedding?", with eyes wide opened she asked Sahat "She never accepted your invitation for a date?". Before Sahat could reply Shruthi's answer both Shruthi and Adhira were called by their mom.

    Adhira and Shruthi were communicating something with a smile when they reached the eyes of Sahat and Pooja. Pooja got annoyed by Adhira's action. Pooja felt that Adhira will never give priority for her over Shruthi, with that instant Pooja throwed her face towards Adhira and said "We are heading back to our home. Bye" by which Sahat was stunned he had his own plans but all of them were destroyed like a cake broken at the end of placing a cheery to its top. Before anyone in that scenario could react Pooja went outside the house just like a storm.

    Adhira could not accept the sudden situation. She got hurt by the look that was thrown to her by Pooja. With no feel she looked Sahat. "umm  ummmm" Sahat searched for words to tell.

     Adhira felt 'Why the hell he should visit my home? To hurt me with his sister? Can't he stay here for some more minutes?' but her other part said 'Can't you find this from his expression that even he is stunned by his sister's action?' and the another part replied, 'But he could have handled this situation' the other side said 'How? What would you do if you were in his situation?'.

    Sahat interrupted her thoughts, "Hey sorry for the fuzz. She is sometimes a puzzle to me". Shruthi entered her room as Adhira asked her to do before Sahat. And that was enough for Sahat to know that she wanted sometime with him alone. Adhira was comfortable this action and she said "Go, she is waiting. Before she could get her temper uncontrolled" as she thought that this would help in not aggravating the current situation even though she didn't knew what was the reason behind Pooja's action. Analysing Adhira's behavior Sahat said, "Love you" and left her place. Though there was no emotions in his face, his tone expressed the hidden emotions and Adhira felt the warmth again in her cheeks.
