Chapter 2- Just a Fan?
The moment she saw her, Anushka rushed, begging sorry throughout her run. "I'm...I'm really sorry..." She stammered, unable to face Shweta's sweet smile. She settled herself, plopping her sling bag on her lap. "I actually couldn't believe... I mean...couldn't trust...that you were His sister.. I'm sorry..." Shweta had a hard time consoling her new crazy friend.
"Stop!" She yelled, almost. "It's really fine. But promise me not to tell this to anyone..." She forwarded her hand.
Anushka composed herself and promised Shweta the same. "But everyone knows your here...it is the hot news now.." She expressed her concern, only to find her friend smiling.
"Everyone knows Prabhas came to drop his sister, but not everyone knows His sister is now casually speaking with her bestie..." She winked.
Anushka scanned her eyes throughout the classroom and indeed, Shweta was right, nobody seemed to know 'She' was actually Prabhas's sister. And why would they? She never showcased the ego of being the darling sister of a superstar. Like brother, like sister...
Days passed and the two became fast friends. Whenever Anushka spoke about her brother, she made a mind note to plead her brother to meet one of his biggest fans.
******************
A smile adorned his face when he breathed in the comfortable aroma of his home. Having a break of three weeks from his shoot, he had decided to spend a little time with his little sister. He was more like a parent than a brother to her from the time they had to face a terrible truth named 'death', of his god like parents.
"I'll pick her from her college today" he informed the driver as he wore his jacket and shoved in a pair of shades in his pocket.
**************
It was a long tiring day for Anushka as she had some very heavy projects completed in a short span of time. Walking down the lane which led to the main gate, Anushka began narrating all the stuff which took place to Shweta. Being a good listener, she responded and cheered her friend by handing over a Dairy milk.
Prabhas scanned the entire place. All the students were going back and luckily, none recognised him. He wanted to just throw the jacket due to the scorching heat. Even the AC had stoped working.
That was the moment when he set her eyes on her. His sister. Then, his eyes moved to the person whom she was speaking with and strangely, his eyes didn't return back to his little girl.
Suddenly, 'she' rushed forward and almost came in front of his eyes. She bent down and Shweta came running. A moment later, the two chirpy girls stood up. Anushka had a little puppy comfortably sleeping in her arms. And the animal lover Shweta caressed its furry head.
There was no wind machine, rain machine or background score required for him to experience this magical moment. The light breeze swayed her long hairs and she never took off that lovely expression on her face. He smiled to himself, probably for the first time in his real life.
The moment disappeared when Anushka bid good bye and left to the other end of the lane.
As soon as Shweta saw a little reflection, she gasped like a little child. Bouncing in the front seat, she tightly hugged her dear brother for such a huge surprise. All through the drive, she chatted and chatted and finally, stopped before a thought escaped her mind.
"Did you see my friend?" She asked her star brother who stopped the car at the signal.
"The one who carried the puppy...? Well yes." He smiled back.
"She's a huuuuuugggeee fan of yours..." She squealed, the excitement clearly heard.
For the first time ever, he felt his heart go happy on hearing these words. "Really...?" He smirked.
"Will you please meet her... I mean.... Give her a chance to meet you.. Pleeeeeease..." She requested, showing her 32 white teeth.
He pulled her cheeks and laughed. She frowned. She hated when he gave his answers through his laughter, all because she never got to know what it actually meant.
"Is she just a fan?" His question threw waves of confusion at her. "What else did you want her to be.. Your wife?" Her sarcastic comment indeed brought some unknown happiness in him.
"Maybe..." He replied, only to look at her absolute shocked face.
