Ravi laughed, a little embarrassed.
He sipped the tea Sirisha brought and complimented them.
“This is really good. Better than my hostel chai, that’s for sure.”
Sirisha sat across from him, eyes bright.
“So, Bhayya… what else did you like about me the other day? At dinner? I saw you looking.”
Neetu gasped dramatically. “Ayyoo, Sirisha! Shameless girl!”
But Ravi didn’t back down.
He leaned back, arms resting on the couch, smirking. “You really want to know?”
Sirisha raised both eyebrows, lips pressed in a challenge. “Tell me.”
Ravi looked at her playfully, then slowly said,
“You wore that half-saree like you didn’t know how stunning you looked.
But you did. The color — indigo and gold, right?
It made you glow. And your bangles… those little glass ones…
they kept catching the light when you moved your hands.”
Sirisha blinked, clearly caught off-guard for a second. “Oh…”
Neetu pretended to fan herself.
“Is this what happens when Vamsi’s not around? Should I be worried?”
Sirisha giggled, then nodded with mock approval. “Nice observation, Bhayya. But you missed something.”
Ravi tilted his head. “Oh? Enlighten me.”
Sirisha pointed at herself and said confidently, “My earrings. You didn’t mention them.”
He chuckled. “Ah. That long gold earrings with little blue beads, right? You kept playing with them when you were nervous.”
Neetu’s mouth parted slightly. “Wow. You actually noticed that.”
Ravi offered a soft smile. “I just tend to remember things... in too much detail sometimes. Bit of a curse, really.”
They all went quiet for a moment, the warmth of the home settling around them like a blanket.
Neetu broke the silence with a grin.
“So you’ll come again, no? You have two women here now who demand your attention.”
Sirisha jumped in, “Three, actually. Our maid keeps asking who the cute guy was.”
Ravi laughed. “Well, then. How can I say no?”
He sipped the tea Sirisha brought and complimented them.
