Sakshi, my best friend, dropped by my house
one day. When she first asked about my brother’s arrival, I didn’t much notice
the apprehension in her voice. I thought it was a random question put up
because I am the one who keeps talking about him.
“Yes tomorrow.”
“What time?” she asked next.
“Midafternoon.”
“Hu. Are you going to pick him up?”
Irritated over her list of questions, I
blurted, “Why? Do you want to accompany?”
I was surprised to see her blushing.
“No no. I was asking casually,” she said
trying to cover up.
“Is it? But you seem to be more anxious
about his return from hostel life than any of us.”
“Cmon now. Stop that. Ok I gotta go now.
Will see you tomorrow.”
Though I had forgotten about the episode,
Sakshi’s confession some months later as to her being in love with my Bro,
brought back the scene to my mind. If only I had read her thoughts then, the
relationship would have been on a different pedestal now. Anyway it’s never too
late to bring together loving hearts!!
