ARAVIND'S POV

What to do??

After 6 years I am seeing her and here she is literally begging me to go away.

Though she is married, divorced and a mother, somewhere my heart can't accept it.

She still is a magic.

She looks the same. As I saw in my college time.

But Leela is just a complicated version of Anamika..

Should I go away from her...
Or..
Try loving her again..
As Leela...

Anamika... Leela... Anamika...

My thoughts were broken by Krisha, my team member.

"Krisha, if your ex boyfriend tells he still loves you and want you, what will your reaction be?"

"Excuse me sir?

"Just In case."

"Upto me... If I want him back then yes or no."

"Sir... To whom are you laying route to?" She said teasing me.

"You can't get it.." I took out the sandal sculpture from my pocket and gave it a look..

I should may be..

After an hour travel, I reached Lonavala.

I enquired about her at school. They said she left..

I went on the way to her house.
I found a lady walking along with a small girl.

It must be her..

"Leela.."
She stopped and turned around making her long braided hair sway.

"Yes?"

"Can we have a cup of coffee?"

"Excuse me. I do not even know who you are." She said keeping a stern face turning to go

"For that only I asked you." I said.

Keep it up..

She rolled her eyes and looked at her child.

"Icecream?" The small girl said.
She had a soft- hardened voice.

"I'm Aravind. Work in Pune. Native Hyderabad." I said and forwarded my hand for a shake..

Formality matters....

"Leela. School teacher." She said looking around not at me. Sulking at me.

"Kasturi.." her child said licking icecream and gave handshake..

Even the kid knows formal ethics!!

"How's your family?" Leela asked.

"My mom raised me. Few years ago she died. I didn't marry anyone."

She became silent for a while.. Maybe thinking what I said now.

"Can I ask you why didn't you marry? I know it's none of my business.. but.."

"I had a girlfriend. One day I did bad to her, we broke up. At that time she said- It is a sin when a hand which touched a woman touches another. I didn't marry. What about you.. I mean your family.."

"Divorcee. Single mother. Three children." She said and ignored me.

I had to act as if I don't know anything.
