BETWEEN THEMPart 50
There was no one around.... The cold night air bit into her very self... She shivered against her will....
He was standing by her... His face turned away....
"And what the hell were you thinking?... Telling Rajeev that we were engaged? Great joke"
"What was wrong with that?"
When Shriya looked up at him, he was staring at the stars, the moonlight reflected in his eyes and her face....
"You said?"
"Maybe we will get engaged"
"Krish?," it was a whisper....
He took her hand in his.... It was warm....
She shuddered.... "Krish"
He moved closer.... There was a silence between them... The road was lonely... It was like an ethereal barrier was cast around them then that protected the moment from any intrusion ever possible.....
"No..... Leave me.... Let me go.... Please"
"Say not a word Shriya"
It was a tentative hug.... They broke away from each other almost immediately...
Their eyes never left each other.....
"Let me drop you home"
She did not refuse now.... It did not seem to matter....
It was just then that Krish heard his grandmother calling out to him to wake up......
Dreams were frustrating?
Yes.... They were.... Because they weren't real..........
