PLEASE DON'T KISS ME
"One minute bhaiya" said Tammana as she swapped seats with Karan after giving him that deep stare of hers.
That shy natured bastard .. serious cold hearted brother of hers who would never open his mouth even when he would suffer humiliation from others; actually told openly that he wishes to sit next to this small South girl?? If this girl can influence his reasoning this way, then she must have cast such charms on this idiot brother.
Tammana was now even more uneasy about her brother's love. She just couldn't accept this unknown girl and couldn't openly deny her brother and was planning to silently bear it and explode at him once they were back to their home.
She thought Karan also must have realized his mistake and will clear things with this girl soon. She was actually happy when he paid for the things as she thought that its good not to accept anything from this girl and that her brother was seeing it just like her. Hardly had she known the silent admiration Karan was building up for Kushi. But now. His gesture made it clear. His interest was loudly visible in his request. And all she could do was to allow him get his wish.
Tamanna was boiling in rage at her brother as she sat there seeing out not even wanting to glance towards this new couple. Couple? That thought made her even more angrier..
Kushi couldn't believe it. Wah Karan was actually bold afterall. She shouldn't underestimate his capabilities here on.. He can do anything.
Yes Karan could do anything. But it was for Kushi that he would do anything. Her presence itself had already made him feel different. Feel special.. He wanted to win her heart and show her how strong his intentions were.
Kushi finally recovered from the shock and told her house address to the auto driver.
It wasnt a long drive. Hardly ten minutes. As the auto moved through the city Karan started to master a little more courage in order to hold her hand. He still didn't have the confidence but he wouldn't give up now..
"So what do you plan next? My mom speaks a bit of broken Hindi and dad too. Hope you can communicate with them" Kushi finally broke the tension and started a topic.
" Kushi, you say as if you speak proper Hindi yourself! " Tamanna suddenly taunted her..
" Didi. Do you know Kushi didn't know Hindi at all and all that she is speaking now she has learnt it for my sake?? Where as, your idiot brother; still cant tell one single word from Kushi's language? " Karan spoke defending Kushi.
" Good she learnt it. Hindi is our national language. All Indian citizens must know Hindi. You did her a great favour Karan. She has to be thankful to you". Tammana was ready to argue and increase the tension in Kushi's face.
What? What is this Tammana upto? Kushi wanted to tell her that there is no national language in India. India was a diverse country which accomodated all the versatile types of people under one name. Unity in Diversity. Every language spoken in India had its own pride and value and Hindi was just an official language to be used all over the country since it was mostly known and widely spread..
Kushi was angry at the way Tamanna was speaking but she controlled her anger and kept quite .
"Didi. Hindi and English are used for official purpose. Do you know English well?? I know how broken my English is and as my sister yours isnt any better either.. If you listen to Kushi speaking her excellent English you will be dumbfound. Moreover Kushi can learn to speak our language but we can never learn the tongue twisting languages from South. Think about it. " Karan couldn't let anyone look down on his love.
He never spoke up for himself. But now it was not him that he had to defend. His words made Tammana quite shameful and she got even more rage over this girl Kushi.
Kushi seemed to sense the tension building up and said "Don't worry Karan. I ll teach you our jalebies ( how Karan described the letters ) too" ..
"Sure Kushi" Karan held her hand tightly in his palm and raised their locked hands up in air. "Kushi Ki jai ho"( A phrase similar to hurray )
And then he didn't let go of her hand.. He cupped it using his other palm and continued. " I know Kushi about your knowledge and intelligence. For you learning any language is a child's play. But for people like me and didi English itself is hardcore. Please spare us dear".
Kushi felt the warm touch and she couldn't utter anything.. She was shocked. Her mind was again busy with thoughts..
Karan had warned her about holding hands. And he had done it without making it look inappropriate too. His EQ was far high than she had expected..
OH MY GOODNESS.. Karan had also asked her whether she minds if he kisses her when they met.. She thought its just teasing. But now. After he held her hand, she started to doubt if he ever knew to just tease and leave it there.
No. !!!
He can't.. He won't kiss her ... Will he?
Holding hand is something different but kiss!!! NO. PLEASE DONT KISS ME !!!
