2 Chapter 2 - Lean on his shoulder

She compels him to do an interview for her. In order to vanish the complete silence between them. He agrees with hesitantly and advised her not to get hurt herself if it is a bad past. She smiles and gave him a hi-fi.

He starts an interview by her compulsion. He asked, " what is the thing which hurts you and how you overcome it?" ( which is not shared with anyone till now) .

She smiles and told him just for this question we gave pause to our golden time! ( two days) . He gets relieved. Suddenly she becomes silent which again aches his thoughts.

Her experience starts to flow in the path of their bonding. It happens, three years back, its first time when she was far from her comfort zone. Her mate makes humor of her image in imagination that she was unaware of it.

Her behavior as its own reason i.e., she was different from others in appearance. Mate praises her beauty when she was like others in appearance. But it is temporary.

The thing which she wore totally makes her outlook different. The thing is more precious for her. She takes care of it like a baby. Because of it, she looks outer world clearly. For her, it becomes like a microscope for virologists.

She saw many times before it becomes one of her daily needs. She felt" the one who wears it was genius. It just acts like a surname for hard workers. It is like a tool to drag attention from the crowd. But, her imaginations nullify when it gets a role in her daily life".

Her mate have a batch, they have good bonding in all. They will be together all the time. Share everything among themselves if they needed. It may be a dress, snacks, books.....

All those greets her and gave respect to her when she saw at them. She too greets with amicably. They seek the help of her many times. Because she is good at some subjects. She loves teaching and her approach in that grabs everyone helps hands towards her.

Her way of life acts as a barrier to listening to gossip talks. As they are under one roof, they often have to see each other.

She never thought of she too became one of their gossip tools. Finally, that evening arrived to realize the fact.

Everyone gathered in one place. She too attends with her precious thing. Everyone enjoying the snacks distributed by aunty ( chef). She heard gossip sound around her. She laughed herself, for getting a red signal for her way of life.

Just she was busy enjoying it, no, she makes herself busy with it. Because she doesn't want to hear those gossip words. She can leave that place but fail. Because she must have to follow some rules of that roof head.

The forwarding steps not to hear those words mitigated by their overrated gossip smiles. A sentence just falls on her ears in between gossip smiles. Suddenly, she slows down to eat snacks. She was astonished that it is about her. But, it does not make much sense, it happens because of their nature.

But, the central idea of their humor is really awkward. For a while, she became timid. Everyone looks delightful, as it is delicious snacks. Everyone dispersed, as their snacks disappeared. They talked with her with a great smile to enjoy the snacks.

But she fails to move her legs, she lost in that world of humor. Aunty's loud voice brings back her to consciousness. She left the screen with heavy footsteps. She remembered the thing which is precious to her becomes humor to others.....

Sanjay tries to console her. As in turn, he signs her to put her head on his shoulder. She responds to it, by continuing about that humor...
