Anu And Her First Love

ARJUN SMITH

Anu gave me an apologetic and confused look. I know she was also confused as I was. I thought that my parents had returned. She already went to open the door as I twisted on the table to get a clear vision of the door.

She opened the door with both her hands as the morning sun rays kissed her skin. She smiled when she saw the person in front of her. That must be my mom then, who else would that be? She was still holding the door with both hands. She didn't move at all, so I stood from the chair and started walking towards her and paused when I saw the shadow on her face getting closer to her as she grinning at the shadow.

Then with the blink of an eye, I saw a guy come from the doorway and hugged her tight and took her in his arms to the air, and swung her as she giggled and holding his shoulder for balance. I was watching them with my eyes widened and didn't have any words to say or to stop them. First of all who was he? And what the hell he was doing here? Why didn't she say anything while he scooped her in his arms? Why did he show up now from nowhere? I was angry than I should have to be.

When that guy finished his swinging her like she was on a roller coaster, he made her feet touch the ground. Then he kissed her cheeks and I was holding my fist together in anger without consciousness. Anu saw my hand and frozen in her place like a kid who gets caught while stealing a candy jar. I was expecting her to elaborate on what'd just happened.

"Um-hrm," she cleared her throat and wiped her sweats from her forehead which was flooding down due to her tension.

"Say" I ordered her with angry eyes.

She stared at the floor for a second before answering.

"He's my cousin, my uncle's son." She said tilting her head up to meet my gaze as if she wanted me to believe her which I believed her, even If she doesn't tell me in the first place.

I just stared at her eyes as she did the same.

Suddenly a brisk voice interrupted us and we broke our eye contact. "Hai! I didn't see you there. By the way, I'm Arjun, and not just her cousin, maternal cousin." He said, grinning and holding out his hands. What a weird situation?
