Falling in love

"What is that?" he tried to catch her hand to have proper look at what's written.

"Nothing" she pulled it back in a jerk and started rubbing hard.

"Do you still love him?"

"No!"

"But that is what it says."

"I thought I erased it completely"

"But... why did you write it? You said you don't have any feelings for him and it is he who is behind you. Then why all this?" now a bit more serious look.

"I don't know. I am not sure. I think I do have feelings for him"

Silence

Still Silence only

"You will end up screwing two lives. Your confusion will lead you no-where. Moreover, you would be heartening his madness this way. If you love him and believe that you would be happy with him, just go ahead and accept him. If not, you already know this is not going to be easy with your dad. So just avoid him. Or else.."

A short silence as he stands stunned.

A sigh with a smile.

"Why are you laughing?"

"You are a kid!" a dragging dialogue

"You haven't seen me properly" head up, back straight and a short-smiling blush.Tears are almost gone.

"Come, Lets walk"

Walking hand in hand

"Remember, I didn't propose you"

"I know... you girls never utter those 3 precious words, you just make us say..."
