Chapter 4: Warmth of Happiness

Next day Anu comes to Tani's place. She wished Tani's mother "good day" and asked, "Aunty, where is she?"

"Good day to you too dear. How are you, all good? She's upstairs.", Tanishka's mother said.

"Yes aunty everything is fine. Ok I am going to her room.", said Anu.

Anu climbed the stairs, a t-shirt fell on her head as she walked towards the door of Tani's room.

Anu entered Tani's room in that state. Tani has scattered her clothes all over the room, she has scattered her clothes inside the cupboard. Tani goes to throw another dress and looks back, Anu is standing in her room with a t-shirt on her head. Tani put her hand over her face to stop her laughter when she saw her. Slowly she walked towards Anu and removed her t-shirt from her head. Seeing Anu's hair on her face, she can't stop smiling. "A sweet ghost has arrived in my room," said Tani. Acting like a ghost, Anu walks towards Tani and hugs Tani. Tani also pretended to say, "Save, save! I've been attacked by a ghost."

Anu tickled her waist, Tani started laughing, she kept laughing and lay on the bed. Anu too lost control and lay down next to her. After a while Tani stopped laughing and looked at Anu's face. She then felt that Anu's smile is the most precious to her, Her smiling face brings a different peace to her heart. It feels good to look at her Anu.

Suddenly she stopped laughing and looked at Tani and said, "What happened to your room? What a mess!"

"Yes, very beautiful mess.", Tani answered without even realising.

"What are you talking about? Wait, what is beautiful mess?", Anu tapping her on the hand.

"Yeah, oh. Oh, nothing.", Tani stammered.

"Get up and choose what to wear. It's getting late. Gotta go. It's already 11. 20 now.", Anu said showing her watch.

"Help me choose one."

"What have you done really, look around the room. Very messy.", Anu said getting up from the bed.

"Leave it as it is. Pick out a dress first. We can deal with this messy room later."

Anu gathered her messy room's clothes in one place. She started looking at the clothes one by one. After a while she liked a t-shirt and gave it to her.

"Hurry up and wear the shirt, it looks good..", Anu held the shirt in front of her.

Tani took the t-shirt and went to change her clothes. She came out of the washroom and saw Anu sitting in front of the dressing table, fixing her hair. Tani went in front of her, Anu looked at her in the mirror and said, " Looking great", saying that she was about to get up when Tani sat her down again and said, "Wait, let me fix your messy hair first." Tani took the comb and started fixing Anu's hair. "Perfect", Tani said. "Okay, let's go now, it's getting late."

They took their essentials and left the room.

"For the second time, She had such feelings for Anu. But this time the conflict did not come. The feeling of this time seems to be very clear to her. She really felt a strange joy and peace in her heart. She doesn't know what this feeling is but felt the warmth of happiness in her deep heart." Tani realised.
