lunch,” Laksha’s mom said
and left them.
    “ What really happened? I
don’t get it, you left and spoke to me soon after boarding the
train, then all of a sudden you vanished,” Pallavi was
concerned.
    “ Let’s not talk about it
now, I will tell you after some days, even my parents don’t know,
they didn’t ask me,”
    “ Fine, you look very dull,
hmm.. I don’t know what to talk about now,”
    “ I know what to talk about.
Come here, let me show you something,” Laksha told her, picking her
small handbag.
    She looked in the bag for something,
when Pallavi noticed that her bag was torn badly. It had been in a
pretty good state in Coimbatore, so she understood that Laksha may
have fallen down somewhere or missed the train and run behind it
like Kareena Kapoor.
    “ This is Sai, my best friend
for now, I am interested in him and I guess he is also interested
in me,” Laksha blushed as Pallavi took a closer look at the picture
she was holding.
    “ He was the one helped me to
get a stable job in Mumbai, he is from Andhra, very nice guy. He
works in finance and is such a nice person, we were just friends,
but for the long run, I felt that I could really like him. We
didn’t propose to each other, but I have a strong feeling that he
is also in love with me. We keep fighting and work to resolve it,
then we fight again, we are crazy about each other.” Laksha smiled
while Pallavi kept looking at the picture.
    “ Hello, why are you standing
still like a statue?” she asked and tapped Pallavi on her
shoulders.
    “ What’s his
name?”
    “ Sai,”
    “ Full name,”
    “ Huh..some Some North Indian
name, his great grandfather got married to a North Indian and the
flavour kept going, he said one day,” Laksha answered very
casually,checking to see if her parents could hear them.
    “ His full name is Sai
Prabhu,” Pallavi said in a very flat tone.
    “ How do you know that?”
Laksha asked in a confused tone.
    “ Don’t you remember? Prabhu?
The one we met at the Greenpeace rally when we had a great fight
during school?”
    “ It’s him, he challenged me
when he left for Mumbai that he will find you and take revenge for
being the one who drifted me away from him. I thought he was just
kidding and eventually forgot him completely, with my studies and
stuff. This picture just shook me, I am so sorry Laksha. I never
knew he would do this to us. It was just an infatuation, he was
just blabbering in emotion, I thought.. I didn’t know that it would
go to this extent,” Pallavi said quietly.
    Laksha was puzzled. “I don’t
understand, what is happening? So Sai was just fooling me? He is
not in love with me? He just wanted to take revenge and did all
this to me?” Laksha blurted out in anger, the truth dawning on
her.
    “ Don’t shout, calm down,
your mom is here! I’m so stupid, you're sick and I said all this.
But I had to. Thank God it’s still in the initial stage, see, and
just don’t reveal this to him. Okay? He will trouble us even more,
so just stay smart, we will work through this,” Pallavi said in a
soft tone to Laksha, who was still rewinding the best moments with
him.
    “ Come out girls, time for
lunch,” they heard.
    “ Come, let’s have lunch,
stop thinking too much right now, this is not necessary. We have to
forget and move on, we will talk later, after lunch we will go to
my place and talk it over in the garden,” Pallavi was already
making a plan, and moved Laksha to the kitchen.
    They had lunch and went to Pallavi’s
garden. Having gone through a tough time, Laksha found this even
more devastating. All she could do was to cry and think of every
sweet moment she spent with Sai. The only thought that that kept
running in her mind was him and nothing else she felt like she
could never think of anything else, even if she wanted
to.
    The next few days were hard and even
when Pallavi tried to help her, all she could do was ignore her and
turn over the other side. It took three full
