KARNA love and life of a girl

Chapter 6: 6.a boy and a temple



After three days ....a pleasant evening with birds chirping , cool breeze which is causing undulation in paddy fields, warmth of evening sun is felt over entire body as if every ray is making its way into the body.....

Krishna came out of her house to meet Aparna. Their houses are neither too far nor too near each other.

On her way to Aparna's house, she encountered her brother karunakar '' Oh! It's Krishna priya. How have you been?''asked karunakar in an excited tone. ''I am fine and how about you, karunakar?''.'' I am alright. Just finsihed field work and on my way to home, would you like to come over?'' Karunakar replied. Krishna '' yes , I am actually on my way to your home to meet Aparna.'' Is that so? Come , lets go then!!!.'' Karunakar turned towards the path leading to their home gesturing Krishna to come along with him. Krishna , without any word followed him till his house. Krishna did not even lift her head , just kept walking while looking at karunakar's feet as he walked forward and they stopped in front of a gate. Aparna just came out of her house with a box in her hand to hand it over to aunt Kamala. Aparna , paused a little looking at her brother '' BROTHER... why did you come home so early today?''giving a suspicious look with one brow lifted and a sly smile. and she looked at Krishna who is standing at quite a distance from both. Aparna, forcing the box in her hand into his brother's '' brother, give it to aunt kamala before going into home'' rushed towards Krishna and without hearing anything from her brother and almost dragged Krishna into her house pushing away his brother who was still standing with a confused look and box in his hand aside ''MOTHERR... KRISHNA'S COME..''...

Karunakar , looking at her younger sister and Krishna smiled himself as a form of helplessness, moved towards aunt Kamala's house. He called for her from outside as he got no response in return he entered the yard where he found aunt Kamala's daughter Oormila . Oormila was just coming into the yard after hearing a call from outside . Karunakar'' Oormila, this is your box which your mother gave to us three days ago. By the way , where is your mother?''asked giving box to Oormila. Oormila recieving the box shyly, '' oh! Okay. Mother is on the other side washing clothes near the well.'' in a low tone. ''Okay then, see you later. Help your mother with her chores '' karunkar left waving his hand running towards his home , his back facing Oormila.Oormila stood still staring as karunkar dissapears.

Subhadra , on hearing Aparna's loud voice , came out of the kitchen hurriedly only to see Aparna flailing Krishna's hand joyously. Krishna '' aunt Subhadra, greetings to you'' ., Subhadra nodding her head as appreciation of greeting,'' krishna... how are you? How is your father?'' ''He is doing well,aunt'' Krishna replied.. As they were talking, Aparna brought some light food from kitchen along with some fruits in two plates , handing one plate to Krishna, and she carried the other one herself leading the way to garden where a wooden cot is laid in the shade of a big neem tree.'' Mother, come here we'll talk here'' Aparna looking towards her mother.

Aparna and Krishna went ahead and her mother followed them shortly after fetching some water in an ewer and a water glass.

Aparna cut the fruit and gave it to krishna and then some pieces to her mother. As she continued to peel fruit ,Krishna fed her some pieces of fruit and some sweet .

They chatted about some random matters before karunakar came. Karunakar directly came to yard without entering into house as he heard voices from the garden along with frequent laughter.

He lied across the wooden cot supporting his head with his left hand and started eating fruits and sweets....

Aparna... with puffed face'' Brother, don't eat like that. And sit properly. You are taking more room than us three.'' Brother looked at mother'' mother, am I ?'' asking his mother innocently... mother '' no, you aren't..''with a small smile and her hand ruffling over his hair so gently.

''MOTHER'' Aparna, continued ' don't just support him in whatever'' in a sad sulky tone as if upset by her mother taking her brothers side. Looking at his sister's sad face karunakar jumped in an instant and sat like a well behaved kid. ''Is this okay?'' Crossing his arms over his chest in an obedient way. Aparna's face filled with satisfaction.Mother got up ,'' you three continue, i have some works to attend to.'' Three nodded in response.

As her mother left krishna looked at Aparna '' Aparna, tommorrow it's monday, Would you like to come to Ramalingeshwara temple the first thing the morning?'' Taking a bite from the fruit.'' Okay'' Aparna just said that continued her eating and looked at her brother who is controlling himself as to ask if he can tag along, Aparna let out a long pitiful sigh, shaking her head from side to side in disbelief as she looked at her coward brother. The next minute '' can I tag along?'' Karunakar asked in a low voice. Aparna laughed out loudly. Krishna just nodded okay without looking at him directly.

Aparna saw both of them an let out a sigh.

As the sun set before Krishna left, aunt Subhadra asked karunkar to drop her off at her house.... Both got up and were about to leave after krishna told her leaving greetings to aunt Subhadra.

As they're about to step out of the house '' Mother, I'll be going too'' Aparna told her mother...

Her brother face looked dissappointed...the main reason Aparna tagged along

....

....

....

Krishna could not talk the entire time except when she asked about temple, karunakar was present after aunt subhadra left them. She just watched over them bickering like a cat and dog and laughed herself. ;-)
