Dev and Trisha

the road

Her mother and Meghna were happily talking and Trisha joined them
" I'm so happy, I'm also waiting for you too but no rush , you're still young" she held her daughter's hand. After Bonding with her family, they prepared to leave. Both the sisters headed to the gate sending off their parents , they watched them leave waving to them.

Outside the room on the balcony Dev was smoking and Trisha entered
" Hey, listen" he called out to her.
The setting sun for the background , outer window sill filled with plants and the smell of tobacco was a great place to be but the one person standing there would ruin it all.
" I don't think its a good idea" she took another step to the room's door
" Trisha!"
" You feel trapped in this marriage, you were forced to get married . You don't think you want kids" she questioned him folding her hands to her chest
" Well actually, I wasn't forced but yea I don't know if I'm ready to have a family as in even a normal rela-" he tried to explain
" Understood, no need to chew on it because I feel the same" she told him hiding her anger.

Trisha closed the toilet seat cover and sat over it, she felt emotional and she didn't know why. Eventually she thought she and Dev will end up like a normal couple, infact she wanted them to be. To start a relationship , she was going to take an initiative towards it but she remembered his words on his bachelor party and that only stopped her but now it was all clear . She felt stupid for expecting things from him. "Lets see where this road takes us" she told to herself

Dev was busy in submitting his final project for the French company that he failed to notice that Trisha has kind of distanced herself from him. Like always he bought a dairy milk hazelnut along with his cigarette waiting for her near the college. Trisha walked towards Dev when suddenly a bike stopped in front of her, the guy removed his helmet and spoke to her for few minutes , as Trisha sat behind Dev he asked her
" Is this the dusky guy with the husky voice" with a hint of jealousy, She didn't understand it
" What?" She asked
" The kind of guys you liked" he reminded her
" Oh my god, you still remember that, yes I like those kind of guys but he is just a friend" she replied casually
" And I thought you were the type that didn't mingle much with ppl" he mumbled to himself
Making Dev irritated and a little worried made her happy, upon getting down he irritatedly handed her the chocolate and walked to the door. The evening passed with him smoking and making phone calls to some people. The money was important and Dev was very desperate to get it, so he made the call he didn't want to
" Hello uncle, I need to talk to you in person, yes will come there "
Dev didn't know if he should tell Trisha or not, pondering for a few minutes he decided to tell her if Mr.Balan is ready to lend money. Trisha's farewell was in a week's time and she wanted to wear something new , both the sisters were discussing about the outfit
" How about sharara?" Meghna suggested
" Mmm I don't know"
" Kurta with Palazzo?"
" Trust me she looks good in sarees" interrupted Dev
" O really" Meghna nudged her sister
" Yes a simple sari and a kajal for the eye to contain the beauty, she'll look like a breath of fresh air"
" Can somebody look like air" laughed pooja
" Okay people will feel like being hit by a breath of fresh air"

" Mmm my sister does give that vibe, pretty girl" Meghna replied hugging her sister.
Stirring the coffee in the pot Trisha didn't know what to reply or how to react to their compliments that too from the self absorbed Dev.
When Trisha went for farewell dress shopping she didn't want to end up with a saree but like what Dev said , she felt prettier in that simple white kota silk saree and ended up buying it.
Today was the day of farewell , of all the days today was the day she woke up late and she had to wear a saree which was hard for her. Dev quickly got ready and suggested her that he'll eat the breakfast and tell Meghna to pack her's meanwhile she can get ready. Wearing the sleevless white saree ,she added light gloss to her lips and then some black eye pencil to the lower eye lid. Wearing her new heels she ran down to the door. Dev was caught off-guard when he looked at the damsel in white,
