She look up at him with disappointed face. Shook her head. Both of them are in angry mood. But neither of him ready to break the hug.
She composed herself quickly. After all its him. Her love. She does what all the women in love do. Merely find rational for his behavior towards her and justify each and promptly ready to forgive all as she always does. Deep down she knows what is his actual problem. But she never had the guts to tell it in front of him.

M : ( very soft voice) kathiru.. thayavu seinji jeewa maamava poi kattikonu solatha. Enaku enavo pola iruku.
