My 6th grade was almost over and it was annual exam time. I was pestering Karthik to teach me botany and he was telling me something which I couldn't understand at all. I was asking him "but all that would come in zoology right, now teach me botany first". And he said in 9th grade all that comes in zoology will come in botany too. I was surprised and listening to him like how babies look at icecreams. He always did that to me - explain something which I'm totally unaware of and make me get surprised. I loved that a lot in him, I loved his intelligence the most in him.
And then he started teaching me what was in my book. I kept listening to him. I love listening to stories and I got that habit just because of him. Every day I would ask him "karthik etha katha solu da" and he always had loads and loads of stories to tell me. He even said me the subjects as stories and I loved it that way. So as he was going on, suddenly something happened.
He: *Looking at the book* I Love You
Me: What does that mean?
He: If a girl and a boy want to be together forever like mom and dad then they'll say 'I Love You'. Do you want to be with me all the time or not?"
Me: *Keeping my finger on my chin* (I always did that when I was thinking or making a decision) ya
He: Then say
Me: What should I say?
He: Say I Love You
Me: I Love You ok?
He: ok :) now listen
And then he started teaching me from where he stopped. And this topic never came up between us after that ... Except once.
