Love letter 1

CHAPTER 5

VINAY STARTED PLANNING FOR GETTING LEONA’S ATTENTION ON ME. WHILE HE WAS THINKING OF THE WAYS, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONCENTRATE AT ALL. ALL THE IDEAS HE SHARED WERE BEING BOUNCED ABOVE MY HEAD.

HE SUGGESTED THAT I SHOULD WRITE A LETTER TO APPRECIATE HER BEAUTY AND TO GET HER ATTENTION.

WE DECIDED TO SET UP THIS MISSION IN MY HOME. BEFORE VISITING THE LIBRARY, VINAY CAME TO MY HOME.

“HEY, ADRIAN. MAY I…?”

“OH, YEAH SURE. I HATE FORMALITIES, VINAY.”

“ADRIAN, WHO IS THIS CHILD?”

ADRIAN’S MOM CAME OUT FROM THE KITCHEN.

“ MOM, HE IS….”

BEFORE ADRIAN COULD COMPLETE HIS SENTENCE VINAY SPOKE IN BETWEEN.

“HELLO AUNTY, MY NAME IS VINAY. I AM ADRIAN’S NEW FRIEND. I CAME HERE TO GET SOME HELP FROM ADRIAN IN MY STUDIES.”

“OH, NO PROBLEM. YOU GUYS CAN CONTINUE. I WON’T DISTURB YOU AT ALL. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING, DON’T HESITATE TO CALL ME.”

“YEAH SURE, BY THE WAY, AUNTY, DID SOMEONE TELL YOU THAT YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL IN THIS PINK DRESS. IT SUITS YOU WELL.”

“OH VINAY, YOU ARE SUCH A NICE CHILD.”

HER FACE TURNED RED. ADRIAN GRABBED VINAY’S WRIST AND TOOK HIM TO HIS ROOM.

“MOM, WE HAVE TO DO SOME STUDY.”

“YEAH, GO AHEAD.”

“HOW DID YOU SUCCEED? I HAVEN’T SUCCEEDED IN IT SINCE NOW. ALWAYS GOT BEATEN BY HER.”

“BROTHER, IT COMES FROM INSIDE. IT IS AN ART. YOU CAN’T LEARN THIS BY ONLY PEEPING IN BOOKS AND SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH NOBODY.”

“BROTHER, PLEASE SAVE SOME PHILOSOPHY FOR MY CASE.”

I SAID THIS BY JOINING HIS HANDS IN FRONT OF VINAY.

WE BOTH ENTERED MY ROOM. IN MY ROOM, VINAY SAW LEONA’S PAINTINGS AND SKETCHES ALL OVER.

“BROTHER, AR…ARE THEY MADE…MADE BY YOU? YOU DID IT YOURSELF?”

“YES.”

I ANSWERED HIM WITH AN ADORABLE SMILE.

“THEN WHY DID YOU LOCK THEM IN THIS CAGE? LET HER TAKE A LOOK AT THESE. SHE WILL DEFINITELY SAY YES.”

I CLEARED MY BED AND MADE HIM SIT ON IT.

“IF I SHOWED THIS TO HER, SHE MAY THINK I AM A PSYCHO IN HER LOVE. AND I DON’T WANT HER TO DO THAT. IT HURT MORE THAN REJECTION IF SHE STARTS TO RUN AWAY FROM ME FROM A LONG DISTANCE.”

“OKAY, SO WHAT’S THE PLAN?”

I STOOD UP FROM THE BED AND SAT ON MY STUDY DESK.

“THAT’S WHAT I BROUGHT YOU HERE FOR. TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO TO CATCH HER EYE ON ME?”

“I THINK YOU SHOULD TRY OUT WRITING A LETTER.”

“ A LOVE LETTER?”

“AHHMMM.”

“OKAY, WHAT TO WRITE?”

I GRABBED A PAPER FROM MY NOTEBOOK AND LOOKED AT VINAY WITH QUESTIONING EYES.

“ARE YOU A KID? YOU WILL WRITE IT ON YOURSELF AND IF ANYTHING STICKS IN BETWEEN I WILL HELP YOU OUT.”

“OKAY.”

I THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT IT AND AFTER 10 MINS I STOPPED WRITING.

“DONE?”
