Tale of the Hearts (Completed)

Epi 1

My mind played back the childhood memories. I remember her. Few months back, I was looking at our childhood albums with my brother. I came across a picture with her. I try to find her in FB but she didn't accept my request or replied my messages in FB. Slowly, I forget about it until my appa tell uncle's name today.

We went to her house. I really want to see her. I had beautiful childhood memories because of her. I still remember when she was a kid, her parents always address her as paapa..for so long I thought that's her name and I will call her paapa too.

We reach their house. I saw a very pretty young woman decorating the entrance with flowers. She turned to see our car. When I saw the cute dimples on her face, I know it's my Paapa..she couldn't see us through the car as the car was tinted. I went to park the car and came in. I had a mixed feeling what if she forgets me.

Binni ma asked her if she remembers me. She quickly say Samiee..because that's how she will call me.

Then the prayers begin. She was standing beside Binni ma.

Binni : ma, prayer song paadu..

She begin to sing. For a moment, I lost in her voice. When we were kid, she will hide herself in my house when her amma calls her for music class. She don't like to sit at one place and learn it properly. But, of course being a daughter to a carnatic singer, definitely she inherit the talent.

After the prayers, we sat to have lunch. I know she is looking at me but when I turn to see her she will look somewhere else. I really want to talk to her. That's when she went to wash her hands. I followed her.

Sam: Hi Siv, how are you?

Sivaangi: Hi Sam..I'm fine..how are you?

Sam : good Siv..where are you studying now?

Sivaangi : I'm joining Loyola tomorrow Sam.

Sam : Loyola? For what course?

Sivaangi : BA in English literature...what are you doing?

Sam : 3rd year in Loyola College, same course as yours.

Sivaangi : heyy semme da..nambe naliki meet panlam Samiee

I chuckeld at her. It's been so many years I heard her calling Samiee.

Sam : cheri da..

She pass the hand towel to him and they walked together to the living room.

Sam : I never thought I will meet you again Siv..actually I sent you a friend request few months back..I think you didn't notice it.

Sivaangi : me too Sam..it was really surprising to see you here and about the friend request I'm not active in FB Sam. I didn't check my FB for months.

Suddenly, Binni ma called her.

Binni : paapa, inga vaa..

Sivaangi : iru Sam varen..

She went to her and came back to him..
