Varun thought to himself,” Just wait a moment, how did she introduce me to her ‘His friend’. Am I not her friend? Does she mean that I am nothing to her and I don’t have any relation to do with her?”

Vivek saw him so he placed his hands on his shoulders and nodded at him gesturing, “It will be fine.” Varun nodded back at him and greeted Preethi.

Maya then spoke up, “Shall we go in?” gesturing her hands forward. She went ahead first and so they all followed back. Maya turned back after few steps to check on Preethi and gestured her that she will get the tickets. Vivek asked Varun to go and get tickets before she gets. So Varun went ahead and walked beside her. She saw him so asked,” Varun, I shall take the tickets. You don’t need to do that?”

“No problem Maya. I can take tickets for all.”

“Varun, Listen to me” saying this she touched his elbow so he stopped and looked her hands placed on his elbow. She noticed that he was seeing that so she thought,” Oops. I must have done that. He must have felt weird” and took off her hands. Varun saw her hands back tracing so he thought,” Idiot, Why do you have to see were her hands are? See she had taken it back. How come even a single touch of her make me unable to feel the gravity?”
