Priya's Pov

"What does he want to prove that too after two years?"I am literally clueless.

"You hide in a cocoon"My brain spat me.

"He wants to prove his love towards you"My heart answered my question.

"He rejected you"My ego got hurt deeply.

"But it was a mistake"My heart trying hard to convince me.

"Stop!"I shouted.

I looked around I am alone. I just want to run away from everything.

"How could you run away from those memories?"My heart asked me again.

"Yes! Such beautiful memories."My brain and heart both said in unison.

I couldn't stop myself recollecting my memories.

We both met in the canteen very next day. Arjun came to me and stood in front of me.

"Sorry"Arjun mumbled.

"It's Okay"I controlled my laughter.

"Thank god!"He smiled.

"It's okay. Sowmya scolded you well, "I said, suppressing my laugh.

"Yes"Devil sister, "He looked much relieved from tension.

"She told me about you. That your families or friends from your childhood. She even told me that she calls your mom as mausi. You too treats her like her own sister. She surprised by opting our college"I took a second and smiled at him.

"So, You know everything!"He smiled back.

"Don't worry. I am not a dumbo I know that you are her brother and neighbour. It's her roomSo it's quite obvious that you came for her"I explained.

"Oh god! Thank you"He is truly relieved now.

"It's okay!"I smiled.

"What about joining the band?"He questioned me.

"Ops! I haven't asked mom yet. I will ask her tomorrow and let you know, "I answered him.

"Okay!"He frowned.

"And what was that?!"I asked him.

"College assembly"He said.

"Come on, I know that!"I looked at him.

"It's Friday! So it's cultural meet"He explained.

"Are Fresher's allowed?"I asked him.

"Come on! Our college allows us to participate in all sorts of co-Curricular activities. Our management is so cooperative. Go and check the notice board. You will find the instructions. You can join in whatever the category you want to"He suggested me.

"Okay!"I walked towards the notice board.

"Poetry and Story writing"I spat.

"It's on Thursday!"He read.

"Wow!"I exclaimed.

"Are you interested? "He asked me quickly.

"Yes. But I am not good at both"I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"You know Your brother Pradeep is also a member, "He broke out into huge laughter.

"What is there to laugh?"I asked him.

"You will tell me the reason once you listen to his poems"He answered me.

I too laughed with him.

"Just enrol your name. You will feel relaxed in between classes"He suggested.

"Sure!"I nodded.

"I am also a member. Will meet you there regularly "He revealed.

"Oh! Great"I am shocked to hear.

"What?"He looked at me confused.

"You seemed to be a perfect all-rounder. You are topper of the batch. You play guitar well."I felt really surprised.

"What's going on?"Sowmya came and joined us.

"We are talking about assembly and its activities"I said.

"Are you interested?"Sowmya asked me.

"I want to be a member of Poetry club"I said.

"Okay!! Will join too"Sowmya said casually.

"You and poetry!"Arjun took a deep breath.

"Shut up"Sowmya pinched Arjun's shoulder.

"Each! evil"He pretended anger.

"Stop it!"Sowmya screamed.

"We are getting late. Class time"I tapped at my watch.

"See you later"We went to our classes.

I twitched from my sleep. I am dreaming those days again and again. Especially those poems. He writes heart touching poetry. I felt jolts when I heard him for the first time.He writes in telugu,our mother tongue.

I went to the cupboard and picked up the paper.

Started reading his poem.

It's his manuscript.

His letters are really beautiful.

They speak thousand words.

"Kannulaku kalavi

Manasuki ahladanivi

Jeevithaniki gyamyanivi

Brathukiki arthanivi

Neve kalpanavi

Neve nijanivi

Neve spoorthivi

Madhuram neve

Vishamu neve

Manishi payanam nekoraku

Ne payanam alasina manasu vaipu

Neve premavi

Na manasuloni premavi

I read it again.

I need a break from these memories.

I want to run away yet I am helpless.
