36 Free Days with Ronn .

"I am starving Ronn ." Tara said leaning over his shoulders . "You just ate a masala corn , two icecream cones and Apple juice just an hour ago .. " Ronn said looking at her surprised . "That was One whole hour ago .. I am starving Ronnnnnnn" Tara said annoyingly . "Okay okay .. let's stop near the next junction . A new food court got just inaugurated last day . Ronn said . Ronn had managed to get his uncle's personal scooty and they were both wandering aimlessly like past two days . Tara was scared of his speed at first but she got used to it soon . They had been to many tourist places the last two days .Ronn and Tara went to museums , art galleries , parks , pet shops and much more .

"Cubbon park is my favourite " Tara said eating a slice of pizza . Ronn took her to the food cort and she was having food . He never allowed her to pay bills . "I'll take care of the girl who came with me " He says. Tara , who always grown up in luxuries and only 5 Star places , really enjoyed the street foods , street shopping , and trip in his uncle's scooty . Ronn sometimes make her scared increasing the speed and she hugs him tightly from behind . Then when he stops , she beat him on head .

They hum songs together , walk through streets with hands on each other's shoulder .Ronn sometimes feel nervous as he love her . But Tara loved him as her Best friend and she was so much comfy with him , not needing anything to fake . Ronn loved it when she make cute faces and he loved her little chirpy talks . He listened it to like it was his favourite music . That's when a girl about 7 years came up to her and glared . "You want ?" Tara pointed to the Chocolate Ronn bought her . That girl nodded . Tara simply gave the chocolate to her . "Hey .. that was for you " Ronn whispered . " That's okay . You can buy me tomorrow. " Tara winked at him and said. That wink really touched his heart . He blushed inside . "Thank you .. you look so cute " The girl said and walked away . Before going far the girl turned and asked "Your boyfriend ?"

Tara giggled "Yaya .. my boyfriend .." She said keeping her hands over Ronn's hands . Ronn stared at her with amusement . When the girl went away smiling to both of them , Tara pinched Ronn and said " That was fun " .

"What ?" He asked doing an ouch sound .

"Lie ing was fun ." Tara said ang giggled .

"She called it a lie .. calling you her boyfriend was lie .. but that lie felt so soothing " Ronn said to himself . "What are you thinking ? Eat your pizza or I'll finish that too ." Tara said .

"But I already ate a piece from my slice ." Ronn said making a face at her . "That doesn't even bother me " Tara said snatching the slice from him and eating the left . Ronn felt shock for a moment then he remembered Tara does all these just because Tara loves him so much but as friend. She's all open and fun with friends . She does same with Kiran but She is more attached to Ronn than anyone .

Ronn watched her eat . That's when her phone rang . Ronn peeped to the screen . It was Karthik's call . "Don't eat it , it's my piece of slice now . I will be right back " Tara said licking her fingers . Ronn saw her attending call . She was all happy and giggling . "I see how happy she is when he calls . I should never tell her about my love . " Ronn decided .

Tara was playing with hair all the time she talked to Karthik . Karthik calls her in all little free time he gets and talk to her . She felt so happy . Ronn was sipping last drop of his juice then Tara came smiling .

"He's so stupid ." She said giggling .

"Huh?!" Ronn looked at her puzzled .

" Karthik ; I am speaking about Karthik ." Tara said blushing .

"Hmm ." Ronn said trying to smile .

"Ronn, will you be so stupid too ? With your Girl friend ?" Tara asked .

"I don't have a girl friend ." Ronn said .

"I mean .. when you get one .. will u be clingy like him ? So caring Stupid good boy ." Tara said blushing .

"I am not a good boy ." Ronn said .

"I know that you are a good one . Who are you lying to ?" Tara said eating her last piece of pizza .

"I'm not .. " Ronn muttered . But Tara didn't heard him as she was busy eating and staring at her mobile and smiling .

**********

"Where are you dragging me ?" Ronn asked puzzled . Tara dragged him to the studio .

"I don't want to take a photo .. plus , you can use your iPhone isn't it ? Why studio .. I hate studio .. "Ronn said trying to get his hands out from Tara's .

"Let's have a picture together and frame it ." Tara said proudly .

"Non sense. Ask your Karthik . He is your boy friend . " Ronn said annoyingly .

"It's a friendship frame , also for your knowledge , Karthik and I have a lots of pictures clicked together . You are the one who never poses for photoes . So I have decided this , now no turning back ." Tara said in an ordering voice .

"Happy ?" Tara asked patting his shoulders .

"Do I have a choice ?" Ronn made a wry face and asked .

"Haha . Now that's my stupid Ronn ." Tara said entering the studio with him .

**********

"Aha .... This photo looks perfect on my table " Tara said keeping the photo frame on the table near her bed . Ronn watched her with an

unpleased face .

"I was not even in good form ." Ronn complained .

"This photo is for me .And I feel you are the cutest in this ." Tara said moving her fingers on Ronn's face in the photo .

"I don't think so ." Ronn said lowering his head .

"You don't think what ?"

"I am not good looking Tara ."

"Who said so ? You are amazingly fine for me ." Tara said widening her eyes .

Ronn stared at her beautiful eyes for a moment and looked away in dismay .

'She is so gorgeous , you will be fooling yourself if you proposed her ' Ronn's mind said him .

"Hey .... you are handsome Ronn . I love you ." Tara said . Ronn's heart stopped for a while at the last words .

"Really ?" Ronn asked as for the reply for her last words .

"Yeah ... " Tara said thinking he might be asking if he were handsome .

"Let me bring you something to drink . I guess mom is busy with her Serials ." Tara said .

"No .. no ... I was leaving ." Ronn said .

"No way you go like that . You are supposed to give me company . you remember ?" Tara said pointing questiongly .

Ronn smiled and Tara smiled too .

************

"So ... that's how Kiran and Kriti fell in love .But this is a secret . okay ?" Tara said drinking her apple juice . Ronn sipped his chocolate milk shake and nodded .

"Hmmm ... then why did you shared with me ?"

Ronn asked .

"I don't know . I don't feel like not - sharing with you . " Tara said casually .

'Does she trust me so much ?' Ronn asked himself .

"What are you thinking" Tara asked .

"Nothing .. just .. hmm .. thinking that what she'll call you in future. " Ronn said .

"She could call my name right? After all .. I am not thattt elder than her ." Tara said .

"Hmm .. that's right ."

Suddenly Ronn's mobile rang . He wondered from whom it might be as his mother just called few hours ago .

It was from Anu . He was surprised .

'Why is she calling me now ? Spoiling my time with Tara ?' Ronn thought .

"Attend the Call Ronn . Give me the glasses , I'll be back soon after washing those ." Tara said as she thought it might be personal call .

"Hello ?" Ronn said attending the call as soon as Tara left the room .

"Hey ... Ronn .. it's me Anu .."

"I know . What's the matter ?"

"Why is that you always sounds so serious ?"

"Is that why you called me now ?"

"Oooh .. noo .. no ... I .. I just called ... so ... Ronn .. I needed to tell you .. that ..."

"Can you make it fast ? "

"Okay .. Okay .. please give me a sec .. i am little nervous ."

"Hmm ."

Anu took a deep breath and continued

"Ronn ... I know it may sound weired to you . But I have a clear idea on what I am speaking . I know your stories and Love for Ella and you might know she was my friend until .... Untill I fell for you Ronn . Yes .. I really Love you . I have discussed this with my brother and he said that I should tell you . But I couldn't tell it when we were together , I always got nervous . That's why I called you .. Please don't take a quick decision . Take your time .I'll hopefully be waiting for a positive reply . I know our castes are different .But that doesn't matter for our family . Please do reply me ."

Ronn was surprisingly hearing everything . He have felt Anu being nice to him but he didn't thought she loved him .

"Hello ... Ronn ... are you there ?"

"Hmm ... I was lisnening . Anu I know you are nice friend .. but sorry to break your heart , I can't love you back .You know , I love someone and .."

"I know ..Ella ... but Ronn she doesn't love you back .."

Ronn was about to mention Tara's name but then he realised Tara isn't even in her lists .

"That's fine for me . I can't love you . Don't bother calling again .I won't change my decision ." Ronn said and he cut the phone befor hearing from her .

'You are so mean Ronn .. you just broke a girl's heart ..' Ronn's heart whispered . But Ronn's love for Tara was louder than his manners then . He couldn't think of loving someone other than her .

That's when Tara came with a plate full of biscuts .

"Are you planning to make me fat ?" Ronn said .

"Stupid you won't get fat just by eating this biscuts ." Tara said eating one biscut from the plate .

"I wonder how you maintain your shape ."

"Huh?"

"Nothing ."

"I heared you . You are so stupid sometimes ."

"Hehe .."

"Who called you earlier ? Why is it that you ended so fast ?"

"It wasn't an important call ."

"ooh .. "

"It's ..."

"it's ...?"

"It was a proposal ."

"Aha ...Then ? How did it go ?"

"Not well . I don't love her back ."

"Why not ?"

"I already love someone ."

"Comeon Ronn .. don't wait for her .. Don't let good people glide from your hands while you search for fake ones "

"Hmm .. I'll take care about that ." .

"Well .. who was she ?"

"Anu .She is my classmate who help me get fake attendence , my projects done ... so and so ..."

"That was so cruel on you breaking her heart ."

"Maybe ..." Ronn said thinking if he should propose Tara right then because she looked so amazing and cute when she care. But he remembered Karthik , their love and thus he kept quiet .

(..... Thank you all for your supports ... love all ... 🥺. ... )
