She looks different

"You mean apart from the crying sessions of watching films?" When

Karthik chuckled, he continued

"No, she never cried. In fact, she

never had a reason to. Her dad

would do anything for her; I've

never seen him angry at her even

if she did the most stupidest thing.

And I was there too, all her life to

protect her from any trouble"

"Like a prince?" Karthik added,

trying to hide the disappointment

in his voice.

"Nah. Since she thought of me as a

brother, I can't say that" he added

jokingly.

Both of them sat in silence facing

the TV which is still ON with the

match going on.

"Do you think India will win?"

Hemanth asked, his eyes glued to

the screen.

"It's tough. After all, the Australian

Cricket team is one of the best

in the world" Karthik answered

truthfully.

"Can I ask you something?"

Hemanth started awkwardly.

Yeah?"

"Is Sindhu fine? I mean... um I feel

like she's not the same person"

Karthik's eyebrows shot up "What

do you mean?"
