Varun walked behind her and so Maya was unable to recognize that the shawl had been hooked. Maya and Vivek went aside of her friends. Vivek saw Varun who was standing behind Maya and this made Maya to see in the direction Vivek was looking. She turned her head and found Varun standing behind her. She saw him and asked, “What?”
Varun didn’t utter a word but raised his hands and pointed to the hooked shawl. She understood it so replied,” Oh sorry. Could you please unhook it?”
He tried to do but rather than unhooking he whipped it further. Maya saw that he struggling so she spoke,” Excuse me. You are messing it further.”
Varun saw her and spoke, “I am trying. Why don’t you help me out?”
“Uff… Just do as I say. Take of your hands from the beads and just remove your watch.”
“What?”
She met his eyes and said firmly, “Remove your watch.”
He thought to himself,” Doesn’t she watch movies. I thought she will help me by coming near me so I can watch her closer, have some romantic looks. Shall I go near her? No Varun. Don’t do that. Even without seeing you she had considered you as Male chauvinistic now if I do this she will consider you as scoundrel so let me just do as she says” so he obeyed her and removed his watch. The watch was sagging in her shawl. She took it in her hands and removed the watch. She then saw him and he placed his hands in front of her face gesturing her to place it on his hands. She placed it on his palm and her thump touched his inner palm. Her touch made him to feel as if hundreds of lightening had caressed him.
