2 weeks with her

"He'll be going for a business trip ." Tara said with an emotionless face .

"How long ?" Ronn asked sipping coffee .

"Maybe ...2 weeks .." Tara said after a moment of thought .

"Oh .That's too long .You'll miss him right?" Kiran said mocking Tara . They three were sitting in the balcony that evening , sipping coffee . "I don't know .Maybe . I have never been apart from him all these years ." Tara said staring at the wall .

"So now officially you are his girlfriend and you can miss him officially now . No need to hide ." Kiran said eating pani puri from his plate . "You are so stupid Kiran ." Tara said angrily . "See who's missing Karthik even before he left .." Kiran laughed and teased her . Ronn continued to sip his coffee so he doesn't want to give any opinion about it .

"Oh Ronn .. I think this stupid Kiran Is right . I will miss him right ?" Tara said with a worried face . "Two weeks will go like two days Tara .Don't worry ." Ronn said to comfort her .

Tara sighed . She had come after date with Karthik and he had mentioned about his trip .

"I can cancel anything for you. " Karthik had said but Tara didn't want him loose an opportunity which will bloom his business even more . "His father will be proud of him if this business worked out " Tara said to Ronn . She was sitting near him and Kiran sat in opposite chair . "Don't worry . He'll be back soon ." Ronn said as he found nothing else to comfort her when he himself needed comfort.

"He'll surely bring you all your favourites from there ." Kiran said licking his plate . "He's my favourite ." Tara said blushing . Ronn felt a strip on his heart but he remained silent . "Oww... How Romantic .. " Kiran said teasingly. "You'll be this romantic with your Kriti right ? Then why Blame me ?" She asked annoyingly .

"Kriti & my relation is different from yours and brother's . She was my best friend before she turned my Girlfriend .So we don't need fake makeup or drama to impress .We both know who we are .She had been with me even during my worst periods .We still talk like besties most of the time ." Kiran said keeping his plate aside . Tara looked at him questiongly . "That would be boring ." Tara said . "Never boring .It's more peaceful .You would have known it if you loved Ronn instead of Karthik " Kiran said and that sentence Striked Ronn's heart .He felt nervous but Tara still sat normal . "Hmm .There's a lot difference when I'm with Ronn & Karthik . You are right . That would be more comfortable I guess - no faking things ." Tara said to Kiran .

"But I love that feeling of Faking ... " Tara said blushing and Kiran laughed . Ronn's heart beat faster and he sat there nervous .

" How's your vacation ? Enjoying ?" Karthik asked Ronn. Karthik , Tara and Ronn had come to a juice shop and Ronn came with them because Karthik wanted him to come .

"Going well ." Ronn said with a fake smile .

"Are you sad over something ?" Karthik asked patting his shoulders . Tara who was listening interrupted : "I think he's still over that girl ."

"Huh? Which girl ? " Karthik asked

"You know ... Ella ." Tara sighed .

"Ella ? You mean Ella Martin? Ronn ... Do you love Ella Martin ? " Karthik asked to Ronn astonished . Ronn kept silent . He wanted to say 'I love Tara but she's with you now & I am sad .. ' But he didn't wanted to do that.

"Oh boy .. grow up .. No one will love her for her charecter . She's such a mess " Karthik said looking the menu . Ronn nodded .

"She probably will love no one . She will be with someone for either money or looks ." Karthik said sighing .

"How do you know her ?" Ronn asked as if he's in deep thoughts .

"Her father worked under my company . She had been acting strange since she knew my father and I own the company . She was kind of flirting and all . " Karthik said .

"Why didn't you choose her over Tara ?" Ronn said but that had automatically slipped out .

"What you mean ? Why should I choose someone who will stay with me for my money ?" Karthik asked questiongly . Ronn sat silent. "I don't know . I can't believe you didn't loved Ella even a bit . " Ronn said in low voice.

"It may feel strange for you .But not for me . The thing I always wonder is Why you didn't fell for Tara when she was always with you. If I were you , I would never even look at Ella when I have Tara. " Karthik said and Ronn was about to say he love Tara but suddenly he remembered Tara is Karthik's Girlfriend even thaugh she haven't given a reply to him still . Tara smiled . "I would like a Chocolate shake " Karthik said to the waiter .

"I'll take Pista " Tara said and she looked Ronn .But he was still thinking about what Karthik just said , "Why did I even love Ella when I had Tara all along with me ? Was I blind ?" Ronn's head asked heart . Silence was the answer . "Ronn .. order something ." Tara said keeping her hands over his . "Huh?" Ronn woke from his thoughts .

"Order ... " Tara said smiling .

"I ... Chocolate ?" Ronn said stammering .

The waiter took the order and went . Karthik cleared his throat and said :

"I wanted to meet you Ronn because ... You know .. Tara must have told you , I'll be going for a business meet for two weeks. Haven't she told ?" Ronn nodded .

"I have told her I can cancel any meetings if she wanted me here .But she insisted me to take this offer ." Karthik said seriously staring at Ronn's face . Ronn was finding it difficult to look at Karthik but he tried to keep things normal . Karthik continued .

"I know she'll be bored here . If you don't mind , can you stay here in Banglore for these two weeks ? I just want you to be with her .You are someone she trusts .That's enough for me to trust you .Please .. can you stay here ? " Karthik asked pleading .

"I .." Ronn said .

"I know you take care of your mom .She can come here too .Don't let her stay too long in her Friend's home .Bring her here . But please stay with Tara. " Karthik said .

"She have a job there ...." Ronn tried to make excuse . "I'll take care of everything there .I just want your single help ." Karthik said.

"Karthik .. Why do you keep insisting someone for me ? I know he's all bored here .Let him go back there . He loves racing and going for an outing with Das . I am all fine here .Plus Kiran is here .I won't be bored ." Tara said to Karthik.

"Kiran will most probably busy with his girlfriend ." Karthik said .

"Ya .. hey ... how do you know about his girlfriend ?Who told you ? It was a secret ." Tara said astonished .

"I'm his brother .How long he'll be hiding things from me ?" Karthik said smiling . His vampire teeth made Tara go nuts .She blushed. Ronn was thinking deep if he should stay here . "Ronn .. I just want this single help .I promise I'll ask your uncle to take you anywhere around banglore .You can enjoy your holidays here ." Karthik insisted .Ronn actually love to stay with Tara but he feared his secret love will slip out from his mouth .

He tried to make more excuse but Finally infront of Karthik's insisting he agreed to stay there at Banglore and be with Tara .
