We are waiting in the restaurant for krishna's friends arrival. Actually we came 30min early coz I am so nervous, poor krishna tried to ease my nervousness but still in vain.
"Don't be so tensed, Radha." He said holding my palm "so sweaty" He commented
I wanted take my hand back but he hold me still "don't worry, they are just my friends, everything will be fine" He said stressing on just friends,
"I think so too little krishna, I hope they will feel ease with me" I said
"And don't say anything about me, I don't want your friends so stiff around me, that would be awkward" I said again, I face too many situations to know
"I didn't tell them anything yet" He said, assuring me.
"That's good, good." I said trying to calm my nervousness "but what if they already know me, like my face is very well known" I said panicking
"Hahaha, yes, yes, your's is known face on the internet and on news, so don't need to tense up" He said smile reaching his eyes
"Wait here, let me get some drinks for us" He said but I stopped him to give my credit card.
"Why? " He asked
"I can't let you spend right, and I know you are not short on money. please just for my satisfaction" I said with a puppy face, he ruffled my hair and took the card.
Wait, who is older one here? Hmph... 😒
Meanwhile a group of 7 people came inside whom attract a lot of attention in restaurant.
The moment they saw Krishna, all of them together hug him at once. I am glad he have such a good friends, am I coming to a decision about them quickly? May be?
Krishna asked them to come to our table and introduce me
"Guys, she is saathi, my guardian angel" He said, my god, that nickname!
They all gave him with a questionable glance like what then "she is the one who saved me from accident few days ago" He said to them
"Thanks for saving our Krishna, and nice to meet you " One of them said
"And Sathi, she is maaya, my cute little sister, She is vedha and she is vrindha " Krishna said pointing to the girls " He is sudhama, Amsu, priyankara, bhadrasena" He pointed at his male friends
"Nice to meet you guys, have a seat" I asked them to sit and as they sat they make Krishna sit with them too.
All the kids sat opposite to me including Krishna, and I am the only one here. I never get this type of alone feeling after all these years.
Krishna just stand up and came to sit beside me, and I never felt this grateful to anyone in this life "thank you" I text him. He smiled at me.
Maaya, Krishna's sister looks gorgeous✨, she is no less than any model. I would like to work with her if she agrees, she is beautiful.
"I am grateful to you for saving my brother, Miss. Sathi" She said politely
"Mention not Maaya, thats what anyone should do" I said smiling, even though they can't see my smile coz I wore a mask and a hat to conceal my identity.
They are whispering to krishna like I am someone invisible.
"Who is she?
Why is she wearing mask?
Krishna you can't trust just anyone! "
I look at them, they can't see my face clearly but i am little annoyed.
"Take of your mask and hat" Krishna said with no-negotiations tone and i just comply his request
They gasp, "aren't you the famous business tycoon? " Sudhama said, with knowing voice
"You are the famous CEO" Priyankara stated facts
"Are you real?" Badra sena asked me With dreamy eyes
"Omg I am your fan" Vriddhi said with wide eyes
"You are beautiful" Amsu said, blushed
"Ahem, boys, you are disrespecting Miss. Sathiya" Vedha said
"That's fine, please drop the formalities. I am Here as just little krishna's friend and I was eager to meet you all" I said with a friendly smile. But it came a little stiff
Aish, where is this valanthi idiot? She wants me to embarrassed myself?
"No I don't " Valanthi mouthed as she came to sit beside me.
"Thank god, you came" I mouthed back to her
"Guys, this is my friend " I look at valanthi just to see her glare at me, oopps" Cough, my one and only BEST FRIEND, Valanthi " I said
She gave them a sunshine bright smile " Hai guys, I hope we can have fun today " She said, and wave at krishna too.
"Hai valanthi, and, let's order something" Krishna said
I order some ice cream and others thats their wish.
They are chit chatting and i am silently eating strawberries in my strawberry ice cream🍦. Valanthi nudged me while sipping her drink, I look at her, "why are you so silent, join the conversation" She whisper said
It's my first time talking with so many friends, I am soooooooo stiff to talk. I just hmphed at her and concentrate on my ice cream.
"Miss. Sathiya, can you tell us about you and how you became so successful? " Badra sena Asked me
I look at the person who asked me " There is nothing much, I just want to be the best of best " I said.
"Who is your motivation then? " Priyankara asked
I look my only motivation, inspiration, my everything, Krishna and then look at priyankara" There is a person "
"A person? " Vrindha said
"Hmm" I said
"Are you willing to share with us, Miss sathiya" Amsu asked me with so much curiosity. I laughed at his words.
Valanthi gave me a nod " Fine, keep it a secret okay. "
"There is this person, once appear in my dreams. I was so captured by that person beauty and heart. I was so happy but After some years, that person have to leave our peaceful village and had to go to his original birth town to claim his place as young master. I wanted to stop him, But I couldn't. I was village girl, and he is a prince. The society difference between us obstruct me to go with him. And he went away with a promise to come back to me " Before I complete my short take vedha asked something
"Did he comeback?" She asked with a doubt
"Yes and no" I said with a smile that is not quite of a smile
"Why is that? " Maaya asked. Yahh... Fish caught th hook
"He did came back, but at the time he came back I was about to die" I said. "this is my frequent dream, It felt real So many times, and in middle of the night I always woke up in panic and sweat" I concluded.
"So because of him you are who you are" Sudhama Said looking thoughtfully and I nod
"Can you recognize him" Vrindha asked, hopefully.
"My memories are not clear from dream and I hope I can" I look at Krishna from peripheral view and I know he is looking at me the whole time with a smile.
"If one day I can able to meet that person and I don't want to be any less this time. And that's my motivation" I said in the last.
They agreed with me and said some sort of 'you are right' and 'yess,' 'yeah'...
"Making a reason or choosing a reason for yourself to move on with your life is life" I said to them,. I can see 'awe' in their faces. Even i'm-not-so-interested-in-conversation-looking Maya is looking at me.
I can take that as a win then.
"Where do you guys wana chill?" Krishna asked
"Let's go to mall and then eat somewhere and then think about what are we gonna do" Amsu said looking at others
"Let's get going then" Girls says while standing up from their chairs.
"Yeah" Others agreed
Valanthi pull me back "you have to involve in the conversation, okay?" She said making a strict face
"Noted" I said with a salute
We joined the teen group, truth to be told, these guys are fun.
Shoping, eating in a restaurant, karoke box, adventure park..... Movie... Midnight snacks... Roaming in the streets with your gang is the real life.
I am having so much fun today, I knew I lost so much fun but never thought that I lost this much fun, may be its because krishna is with me?.. That's why I feel its worth it.
I asked them to come again when ever they are free, they said they will.
Every one decided to leave when it's past midnight, I asked them to stay with me and krishna but they rejected saying they will stay at Redmoon hotel.
Before leaving Maya said to me " Don't hurt my brother " I can hear a hidden threat in her voice. I have a feeling that she wants me to know something about her brother. Is he hurting?
"I won't" I said with a reassuring voice.
They went on their way and I pull krishna towards the car. But instead of getting in the car, he hugged me tight " Are you happy? "
"I am" I said returning the hug
"Kannaya, it's high time, let's go home" I said to him.
And just like that it have been two and half months since I met krishna, soon then he would have to leave the city and would go to his own home. But these days are the best days of my life. I have my krishna with me, what else do I want? Nothing right.
It's hurts to think that, I have to talk to him about that. I have maintain work and life balance.
I can't just leave him be, right. We have to make time for our loved ones.
