Love

He scratched his head .

“That movie ? But you have read the book haven’t you ? ”

“Yeah, I have . Twice ,but I still want to watch the movie ! It’s okay if you don’t want to come .” She said and looked down . He knew she wanted to watch the movie badly . At the same time , she didn’t want to go alone . He understood her really well. 

Besides , it was not safe for her to go alone . this was a small town , and english movies with hindi dubbing were watched by very few. Just a fistful of enthusiasts. 

In the movie hall, he was happy he came along . Just to see her clap , smile and shout at the characters in the movie . Even if the movie itself didn’t seem to make any sense for him . He hated magic shows since his childhood , and these guys were waving wands and doing lots of magic .

He made a mental note to read all the seven books , even if he found them gibberish .Just so that he could hold night-long conversations with her , on the various characters , events in the stories ,she loved so much . 

Years later , he would acquire the CDs of all the movies , so he could stay up and watch them with her , or just watch her , watching them.
