Leave him as in leaving him…

"Why is there nothing between you and Srinivas? I thought you guys broke the ice and hit it off?" Shreya questioned after finishing her food seeing as Zeenath was not going to say anything on her own.

"We are fine… We go out… talk and stuff." Zeenath explained.

"But?" Shreya asked.

"But I don't know…" Zeenath confessed. This was in itself a stretch for a person who is used to eating on her own all her life.

Even when she had known Shreya all her life, they had rarely shared a conversation over a meal. So, Zeenath was clueless as to how to go about this.

And since Zeenath told Srinivas about her life experience, he stopped advancing towards her. He gave her complete freedom between them. He let her guide the pace of their relationship.

Even when she knew that he did this because he did not want to burden her, he ended up doing exactly the same since she was clueless as always.
