Merina beach.
A Friday evening.
Time would be 4 or
4:30pm.
Beech was less
crowded.
Our hero and heroine
of our novel were present there.
She is veni and she
is a Brahmin.
He is prashanth and
he is not a Brahmin.
Prashanth was look
like a typical Telugu film hero.
He tried to touch her
hand.
She didn’t accept it.
He asked ”why shouldn’t
I touch your hand”
“can not we just love
each other with out any touch?” she replied.
“ it is not 19th
century . it is 21st century you know?”
“ I know but I and my
family is a traditional one . I don’t want any love that will spoil the reputation
of my family”
“oh traditional! ?”
he spoke like a not satisfied one.
“ok leave it. Tomorrow

introduce you to some of my friend”.
“where?”
“At Mambalam my working place.”
“do you have arranged
any party?” she asked.
“yes”
“any drinks”
“yes I am a twenty
first century lad. You can not imagin any birth day party with out alcohol”
“ sorry to say I can’t

“oh I will not have

“I cann’t come”
“then why on the

“ just I love you

her eyes.
“For what baby?”
“ I will really talk

“ one thing is clear

He angrily left that
