 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Find her odd? Not at all. If anything, Advika was a breath of fresh air in his life. “You’re welcome.” It was a casual but sincere response to her gratitude, and Sur found himself wondering if it were common for others to find her unusual. Should he ask or… on second thought, he wouldn’t. They were discussing much already and why spoil their afternoon with such negative talks? “My pleasure. You’re the only person I know who would truly appreciate a trip to a museum. Besides, I noticed you’re usually studying and I thought you might need a break.” Even if it were just an educational outing.
“We both have the happy childhood in common, it seems. I’m the youngest - my two older brothers were and still are protective of me. They included me in most of their games, outings. My parents were not rather strict or overly protective. I took all of this to mean that I had a great family; even being that young I realised it. So, I took it upon myself to be a good child by doing as best as I could in school, in extracurriculars. Did it all for the family, I suppose. They shaped me so I can’t take any of the credit, really.” And Suresh didn’t want to. A warm smile was offered. “We certainly did.” Did Advika understand that them figuring things out early had led to them joining the same university then eventually meeting?
Suresh laughed, making a mental note that Advika preferred small groups to crowds. “They’re definitely an introvert. I’ll look up that meme for you on my phone. This museum’s bound to have free wifi.” Dark eyes scanned the place, darting from one side of the museum to the next. “Definitely! After you.’’ What exhibit will they come across first? |
