Shades

“Do u have  a boyfriend”, Ankush’s innocent question made Tamanna senses into the depth of thinking and she was lost in her dream world. She met ankush in the train on her way back from home. Ankush and Aanya were the two kids who proved to be the best buddies she could have ever met in such a nasty journey. Ankush was 8 yr old and aanya was 12. These siblings were completely different in their inheritance, not even a single trait matched either of them, apart from the facial similarities they shared. “Do you have one, else shall I make a try”, was the next statement that he gave that drew Tamanna out of the world she had entered recently. She just smiled at his innocent and heart touching , concerned quest. But he was adamant enough to make her lips answer for the same. He kept asking her repeatedly, until she replied,”Not really”. The biggest mistake she did was to think that she was escaped.  The boy was more puzzled and wanted a clarification. Tamanna was surprised with the level of concern and in depth thought an 8 yr old was showing. She had no choice left, so she replied keeping her pace controlled,” I don’t have any “. The very next moment the kid was on his knees with the chocolate he got to sleep in time, without disturbing anyone. After all it was the most precious thing he was left over at that instant. “Will you please be my girlfriend, to share all my chocolates and video games?".
