Chapter thirteen 
" Which detergent do you use? "

× ANANYA ×

" Can we talk about something else other than my red face which makes me look like I was crying? "

" Definitely " he replied while passing me his handkerchief. I waited for a few seconds and looked at him intensely.

" Don't worry, there is no chloroform in it " He said while chuckling. I could feel that he tried his best to create a good joke but he failed miserably. I took the handkerchief and wiped my tears with it.

" Uh, my joke, bad joke, my bad " he said and made a face questioning the things he said for a second and then composed himself again. I giggled at this.

Cute!

" Okay, atleast something made you laugh "

" What are you doing here? " I asked him and his lips were now back into a straight line.

" Just came here to fresh my mind"  he said and I nodded.

" Still upset? " I asked and immediately regretted.

He looked at me in confusion.

" About what? "

" About the restaurant incident? The painting one " I said.

I was referring to the part when Vivian was going to say for whom Sahil made that painting but stopped. Sahil's whole mood was down after that. He spoke even lesser then the already less he does. I happen to notice it.

" Oh "

Here we go, you ruined his mood again, Anu.

" Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up. " I said noticing his fade mood.

" It's okay, you just asked. The answer is kind of. But whenever I sit here at this place I feel better. It's like it has some kind of magic "

I somehow felt the same. Though I haven't been here for long but even I was enchanted when I saw it. It was garden but only for the sitting or walking purpose with a fountain of water in between which changes the colour of lights after some minutes. The play area for the kids was on another side of the building so this place is usually very peaceful.

I've noticed so many couples from my balcony sitting here, holding hand in hand, sometimes their small gestures like girl hitting the guy while he was mocking her, or when the guy looking at her while she was speaking looking at the sky. Those moments are precious.

I wish to experience those kind of moments in my life. Without those sweet moments life is practically incomplete.

The fact that I've even seen some teenagers there, holding hands and totally in love, like they think it would last. Maybe some do, but teenage love is something I could never trust on. But they're cute, getting scared when someone walks in and leaving their hold.

And in some way, I love noticing such small but meaningful things humans around me do. I love nothing the small actions of thiers. A smile just appears on my face after watching them.
