Who are you?

"I love you" she whispered

I asked her to come inside.

" No iniya. I have to go now, my parents... They'll be worried about me".

" you don't have to go now Maha. I'll call them here. Please stay here". I said

I asked my brother to call her parents.

She looked pale.

" where were you these days?"

She remained silent....

" Now that I came back, I don't wanna speak about the past. Gimme sometime iniya".

I held her face in my hands. As long as she is fine, it's Okey for me. As long as she is with me, everything will be fine.

" did you eat?" I asked..... I just wanted to change the topic.

" yea yea.. Iam full". She laughed

" haaa.... Now that you are full, you can't eat marshmallows right?... I wanted to give them to you". I smiled (I know she likes them... I just wanted to tease her)

She wanted to beat me but didn't becoz of my family... They were there....

I heard her scolding me... I couldn't control but laugh... She said("idiot")....

" why are you smiling now?" my mom asked

" just like that".... I said

"MAHAA!!!"

Maha's mom hurried back... She hugged Maha and cried

" I thought you were dead... Maha!!! Iam sorry I couldn't protect you". She cried

" Don't cry mom. Iam here now.." maha smiled

" Don't be angry Maha... Iam sorry"

" mom... Why are you being like this... It was my fault for not protecting myself..." maha said

" but Maha..."

" there there... Don't cry now..." maha replied

We all were happy becoz of Maha's return. And obviously I was the one - THE MOST HAPPIEST ONE.

I asked my servants to make dinner for everyone...

We all ate together... It was a long night.. In words I lost my happiness and got back within hours...

I said myself ( I'll protect her. The harder the way is... I'll always protect her.. Whatever happens)

Everything went well... Maha asked her mother's permission to stay with me for this night. That's what I also wanted. 1st she hesitated but she agreed.

When Maha's mother was about to leave. She asked maha

" you said you will give me that chain after you get back from the party... Give it to me now!."

" huhhh... Haa that chain... It's.. It's in my... In my wardrobe I guess...i will give you after I come hom". Before maha could finish Maha's mother asked

" who are you?"
