Shades-III

Her eyes were so expressive that even the thick eyelashes she wore couldn't hide them. She was dumb stricken and speechless.But Ankush was still sitting confident and smiling a little as if he was analyzing her deeply. The very next moment he  broke his silence and asked her," will you mind if I ask you something?". Tamanna was thinking about the next disastrous question the little monster would frame in the most prettiest way. But still she replied," Yes you can kiddo..". Ankush impatiently asked, "Firstly, Can I call you Tammy?".Tammana smiled in consent. The very next moment he again asked," Will you please tell me about your Boy Friend,Tammy?". Her ears turned towards every word he spoke, she was not able to belief what the little monster had asked a few seconds ago. He again said," I won't mind if you had one or many earlier, my deal is always open for you." She couldn't resist herself from laughing out loud. She laughed until her stomach ached and her beautiful eyes got filled with tiny drops of tears. Looking straight into her eyes Ankush again asked her the same question ,as if he had decided not to go with his name this time, no full stop until he would know everything. She looked at him helplessly as if she was neither being able to resist disclosing it all nor was being able to keep it secret. Finally the 8 yr old's innocence melted all her emotions that she had hidden since last 5 yrs, behind her strict and practical purview. She smiled wiping the last tear drop in her eyes. The kiddo was assured that he will definitely get a yes from her side. The very next moment she put her consent, that she would tell her the entire story only if he could keep it secret. She was herself not being able to believe that she was relying and trusting an 8 yrs old in such  a crook world. But to some extent she was pretty sure and confident about what she was doing.
