'Accidental' things .

"It was not your mistake , I hope you get well soon ." Tara said placing her hands over Kiran's . He met an accident and was admitted in the biggest hospital of the town. Tara came to visit him as soon as she heard the news .

"Every one blames me Tara . You are the only one who comforts me . The signal shown yellow for vehicles while I was crossing the road. It's their mistake they didn't obey the rules . But see the innocent gets the blame . "

Kiran said sniffing . Tara comforted him .

That's when Karthik entered the room with medicines in his hands . Kiran stared at the medicines and said : "See I'll have to deal with these also. " and he made a wry face . Tara giggled . Karthik sat next to Tara and told Kiran : "Next time I'll ask for injections then."

"No , I can eat the medicines ." Kiran said scared. Then everyone laughed .

"Had your food ?" Karthik turned towards Tara and asked . She nodded 'No' . Then Kiran complained " See you stupid brother , did you actually come to visit your poor innocent brother who met accident or your girlfriend ?"

Tara widened her eyes and made a grumpy face to Kiran. "You don't want to scare me . I know you came to pay a visit only because Karthik is here. " Kiran said looking Tara. Karthik blushed but he angrily cleared his throat . "Huh .. huh .. it's only me who's the third wheel here ." Kiran said with a grumpy pleasing voice and turned away his head .

"I was wondering why you still alive after an accident ." Karthik said mockingly . Then Kiran looked at him with a shocked look . Tara turned to Karthik quickly and said , " You should be thankful that he is alive ." then suddenly turned back . Karthik looked at her and smiled . " I was mocking this idiot ." Karthik said pinching Kiran's wrist . Kiran made an ouch voice .

"I was just kidding bro . I know you both were planning an outing together today . Don't miss the fun . I am really relaxing here , like in a resort hmm .. but except for the dettol smell ." Kiran said smelling the room . They laughed .

Kiran's mom entered the room and both Tara and Karthik stood up as a symbol of respect .

"You can go now , My dear mom is here .. my love .. my mom .." Kiran said . His mom laughed . Karthik beat him and Kiran made a puppy face . Both Tara and Karthik left the room . Kiran watched them going .

**********

"Why did he went alone to the market ? " Tara asked Karthik . They both were sitting in a restaurant for breakfast . Karthik shrugged .

"I came to know only today morning . Aunty called mom and said . We rushed to hospital then ." Tara said . Karthik nodded .

"He usually don't go out alone at night but I don't know what made him go last day. " Karthik said taking a bite from his breakfast .

Tara sighed . "Did he eat his breakfast ?" Tara asked . "Yeah , mom brought him earlier this morning . " Then they both talked for a little more and both fell silent . Then Tara thought about Ronn . She have never felt shortage of topics with him . "What's in your mind ?" Karthik asked and Tara suddenly gained consciousness . "It's your Bday next week , what about the celebrations ? Make it grand this time . You're finally turning 18 !!" Karthik said with an excitement in his voice .

"Huh!? Ha .. ya .. 18!" Tara said but she was thinking about whether Ronn would avoid her like he did on her last B'day .'Ella was on his mind then . But now he is fine . He'll surely come .' She told in her mind . Karthik glued his eyes on her pretty face but she was so lost in thoughts . "Hello ... aren't you gonna tell me your Bday plans ?" Karthik asked as he saw she was not replying .

"I was thinking not to have party . I can't party alone . Kiran is hospitalized and doctor says he needs one month rest . It's not fair to party alone ;without him ." Tara said .

"Oh !" Karthik's face turned gloomy but when he understood she really care about his brother , he felt happy .

**********

"Why ... Why ... Why .. " Ronn scratched his head and yelled at himself standing in front of the mirror . He was home alone and for past one hour he had been asking him the same question over again and again .

"Look at your face Ronn .Do you want another rejection ? You'll loose her forever. Don't overthink anything . you are messing the situation into an extremely complicated one . Don't dare do this; you stupid Ronn ." He said to himself . But again after few moments he stood infront of the mirror again.

"From when ? Exactly from when did you start feeling this ? Your are hopeless creature in this whole universe . How can you even think that way you alien faced racoon ? " He cursed himself . "But I don't know why I can't stop thinking about her . Not because she's pretty . She is ofcourse pretty but that's another thing , the main thing is , how to convince myself not to love her " Ronn pulled his hair all frustrated and excited and scared , all the same time . Then for another hour he stood infront of the mirror slapping him and cursing himself . Then he fell to his bed , he sank his face under his pillow and yelled .

"Don't do this. pluck her out from your mind ".

**********

"Hey , Ronn what's up ?" Tara messaged .

"Thinking about you ." Ronn send the reply as soon as he got her message .

"😂 Atleast you can forget about her, great !"

"Forget about who ? 🙄"

"Ella😌"

"Oh .. Ella .. Ha .. yA 😁"

But the fact was , Ronn haven't thought about Ella for past few months .

"So wanna come Banglore next week ?😊"

"Ya . I can't miss the princess' 👑 Bday party ."

"Lol 😂 "

"So What are your plans ? 😌"

"Nothing much actually . Karthik have asked out for a dinner . But actually the whole B'day I'll be with him . He have promised to take me for shopping and for a ride . 😁"

"Oh .. hmm .. I mean Great 👍🏻👍🏻"

But Ronn was gloomy when he heard that .

"Do you think he'll propose ?😌"

" I hope No " Ronn replied but suddenly he felt that shock thinking Tara had been waiting for it . "What !!!??🥺 Why. ... " Tara asked

"I mean , you can't spend much time with me after that .. You'll have a BF to take care of . I'll miss my Angel ." Ronn suddenly corrected himself .

"Stupid . I'll always be your Angel . But I hope Karthik propose me. 🥺"

"Yeah . Who won't propose you . All my wishes Tara . If you don't mind I got little busy now . Catch you soon. Bye - Bye 😶" .

"Okay Ronn Take care Tata 😌" .

Ronn sat on his bed and took deep breath .

"She's your friend Ronn , don't betray her. You know you'll loose her if you said that . Karthik is a charm . She love him .Just leave the topic here . That's better you fool ." Ronn angrily said to himself and threw his phone away .

Same time Tara was preparing herself for her Bday, creating her own scenes of Karthik proposing her .
