The Flame

Friendship

"Then u should agree with me that all men are not bad like those from whom you got bad experience" Santhosh told...

Samyu's face was like she saw a ghost...

"Samyu what happened to you... Tell something"

"Hmm"

"What happened to you... You became quiet.."

"Nothing Santhosh"

"If nothing is bothering you tell me whether I am right or not"

"Santhosh please leave this "

"No tell me now...Samyu"

"What do you want know... Santhosh"

"When I talk about men why you are getting disturbed"

Samyu was taken aback by his question.. she didn't expect this question that too not so soon..

"Noth..... Nothing"

"I shared my feelings with you na.. in return I will expect something... "

"For that only I told you that I will talk to my parents not to call off this wedding na... Then what Santhosh"

"I am sorry Samyu"

"Now For what Santhosh"

"First you accept my apology and then I will tell you the reason"

"Without Telling the reason how can I accept your apology"

"If you r not going to accept my apology I won't tell you the reason"

"Godddd... Ok I forgive you"

"Promise me"

"Santhosh please tell me Whatever may be the reason I will forgive you"

Santhosh sighed audibly earning her forgiveness.. but he knew that if he tell the truth, Samyu will get angry on him.. However he should tell that now, or else it will end up in Samyu asking her parents to not stop this wedding..

"Samyu I "

"Santhosh whatever it is spill it out.. I don't have so much patience when it comes to things like this" She stated clearly..

"Ok god will help me.. Samyu I have your forgiveness.. keep that in mind before getting mad at me"

"Santhosh I will give you 2 mins if you don't tell then don't ever share it with me"

"No no no.. I will tell you.. Samyu I ....I.....I played prank with you"

"Prank... U r such a drama queen Santhosh... Just for a prank you r asking me to forgive..."

"Samyu this is not small... Just stay calm and quiet until I finish it..."

Samyu nodded her head in positive.. He continued..

"After telling you about this institute I thought of testing you..."

Hearing that Samyu gave him a glare..But Santhosh looked away and continued..

"Samyu I wanted to know that whether you really accept me with this institute or you just pretend.. so I asked Karthik to send this fake message telling that ur parents are not ok with this marriage and waited for your reaction"

Sighing heavily, Santhosh lips curved into a smile..

"I mildly had a thought that you will take this a chance to escape from this marriage.. but you stood in the side of humanity and responsibility.. that really impressed me.. I just congratulated me on selecting a pure hearted woman as my wife"

Samyu looked at him in awww..

"Samyu I had 90% confidence that u will stood up for humanity but somewhere 10 % told about your insecurity on this marriage and so u will use this as a chance"

"Santhosh its enough enough..."

"Samyu please"

"Just be quiet Santhosh... Don't try to talk to me..."

"Samyu please"

"Am I a doll for you to play, od what did you think about me... Who are you to test me"

"Samyu I didn't mean to test you"

"Then what is this Santhosh.. u could have directly asked me na.. why did you played this cheap prank"

"Samyu I thought asking directly wouldn't work"

"Santhosh u r a Psychologist... But that doesn't mean you r always right.."

"Samyu please let me to explain"

"What are you going to explain Santhosh...just leave it as it is.."

"Samyu please"

"Santhosh I am not mad at you and I don't want to be"

"Why you r not mad at me"

"Whom am I to you Santhosh... Just a girl who is going to marry you without any expectation.."

"Samyu this is what I want you to understand..but again you are starting from first.. before that tell me do you forgive me or not"

"Santhosh see, that prank is not at all a matter for me, but the reason is what I should bother.. but that too If I really want to share a real couple bond with you.. am not going to do that.. so I don't feel about your distrust... "

"Samyu, this is not distrust.. I just wanted to know about your stubbornness.. as I got it now, hereafters I won't do anything like this.."

"Even if you do I won't bother Santhosh"

"Samyu you should bother.. for God's sake we are not going to spend a few days as husband and wife.. for the whole life we have to.. so atleast we need to have a friendship bond.. without that this is utter waste"

"Santhosh I am not interested in fulfilling any wifely duties.."

"Samyu what do you tell as wifely duties...sex... It is just a part of marriage life. Husband and wife bond is beyond everything Samyu.. "

"Hmm"

"See I won't ever ask you to have s*x with me... Its a promise on my institute children..Is this enough for you"

Samyu saw him like an alien from some other planet.. While Santhosh's eyes reflected his sincere promise...
