Romance The End of Restless Sleep- By Pinuram

[ddey333]

Most the people went away after the programme ended. I stood in a shady corner to

get a glimpse of my danseuse damsel. I observed that her mom and dad were also
waiting for her. Suddenly her mom’s eyes met mine and my heart skipped few beats.
Blood rushed on my face, I clenched my jaws to control my anxiety. I have been caught. I
felt my feet riveted on the floor of the auditorium. She gave me pleasing smile. I bowed
my head to express my gratitude.

After sometime, Titli came out. Her mom kissed her forehead and expressed her delight.
Titli hugged her father and patted on his stomach. He laughed on hearing something
from Titli. I observed them from a distance, the canvas of the happy family made me
mushy. I noticed that her eager eyes were searching for me. As soon as our eyes met,
her eyes twinkled. She gave a sweet smile and then looked away. I understood her
bound and walked away from there.

I stood outside with a faint ray of hope that she might come. However, they went
towards the parking lot. I saw her parents boarding in the car. I felt bit sad and I walked
away from there. All of a sudden, I felt a pair of arm hugged me tightly from behind. Titli
whispered in my ears, “I love you, Adi.” and planted a kiss on my back. I was stunned by
her sudden expression of love. I turned to see her but she ran away in the same fashion
she came. Before I could understand what happened, she already boarded her car. I
stood there for long time, her words echoed in my ears, her sweet kiss lingered on skin
for long.

Titli’s called, it was probably two o’clock in the dead night. She whispered from the
other end, “Have you slept?”
I was watching television, so I said, “No, I was watching TV.”
She feigned her anger, “You idiot, Mom saw you. I asked you to be cautious.”
I was helpless; it was not my fault. I answered, “Titli, I stood at a distance away from
their sight in a shadowy corner. How could I know that aunt will look at me?”
She said to me, “Don’t worry, I have managed her. I told her that I invited all my
friends.”

“Hmmm....” I expressed my bliss, “You dance awesome, Titli. I was unable to flutter my
eyelids in a fear that I may miss your steps.”
heard her giggle, “Don’t be silly. Now goto sleep, I love you.” I expressed my love and
bid her good night.
