Swara POV

Sanskars’s question caught me off guard. He laughed at the look on my face, then pulled a chair out for me.
I sat down, then he took a seat next to me.

“Are you going to answer the question or not?” He prodded, an amused smile on his face.

“Blue. My favorite color is blue.” I said.

“It looks good on you.” He said, and I blushed.

“Thanks, what’s your favorite color?” I asked, trying to direct the conversation to him.

“Brown.” Brown? “It’s a soft color, warm and inviting. What’s you favorite animal?”

“Lion I guess. They are interesting animals… yours?”

“I don’t really know, it varies.”

“What’s your favorite holiday?” I asked, picking up on the game.

“Diwali, because there’s lots of food,” He rubbed his stomach, and I laughed, “Well what about you?”

“Um………holi, if that counts.”

“Sure, why not? Play with water colours……drink bhang…….”

“Ha ha, very funny. No, that’s not why. I like the sensation, everyone seems happy. The excitement in the air, you know?”

“Yeah, I know. What’s your favorite food?”

“Anything homemade……or atleast Indian.and rasmalai ……You?”

“Anything really, but not spicy. Spices yes, spicy no.and ya sweets ……..”

“I hate spicy too.” I said scrunching up my nose. “What’s your favorite beverage?”

“Um… any juice…..and…um….cold coffee…. You?”

“Orange juice or lemonade. Anything citrus really.” I said, remembering the smell of fresh lemonade. My eyes closed and I took a deep breath.

“Do you like to read?” I opened my eyes, drawn away from the imagination in my mind, to see Sanskar smirking at me. I felt the heat rising in my cheeks, and I looked down at my lap.

“I love to read. I’ll read anything I can get my hands on. …but I like to draw more.” I said, my voice just above a whisper.

Thank goodness Sanskar didn’t ask for an explanation. “What’s your favorite ice cream?”

I smiled, and answered “Chocolate chip, absolutely.”
“I’ll have to agree with that.”
