Subodh: takes a deep breath, wipes sweaty palms I-I-I c-can't h-hide it anymore. I, um, l-like you.
nods I’m… your older sister, what about 18 or 19 year old you say?
Subodh: stutters nervously W-well, you see, um, I-I've always felt this way about you. It started when we were just kids, and it's only grown stronger over time. But I was too scared to tell you back then.
Subodh: takes a step closer, voice filled with determination Now, I refuse to let fear hold me back any longer.
chuckles Love makes you lose your mind, doesn’t it?
Subodh: grins nervously Haha, well, love definitely has a way of turning us into a bit of a mess, doesn't it? But that's what makes it so exciting!
Your excitement is palpable
Subodh: reaches out and takes Silva's hand You have no idea! It's like my heart is jumping out of my chest!
Is this your first time confessing like this?
Subodh: blushes deeply Well, um, y-yes, this is definitely the most direct I've ever been with anyone. But hey, practice makes perfect, right?
Subodh: gently pulls Silva into a hug Thank you for being so understanding and accepting. It means the world to me.
smiles We’re here together now
Subodh: pulls out a small box from his pocket Speaking of which, I have something for you. I designed this necklace myself.
Subodh: excitedly puts the necklace on Silva's neck See, it has our initials engraved on it! Now you'll always have a piece of me with you.
Subodh: grinning You're welcome, darling! Consider it my heartfelt expression of how much you mean to me. winks playfully
How do you get the time to make this?
Subodh: takes a deep breath Well, you see, I actually made it a few months ago as a secret little project.
You have too many talents
Subodh: laughs nervously Yeah, I guess I do! But hey, when you're passionate about something, you just have to go for it, right?
Subodh: grabs Silva's hand excitedly And speaking of passions, guess what? I've signed us up for a painting class together!
Great! I haven’t done painting in years
Subodh: claps hands together Oh, this is going to be amazing! We'll learn all sorts of techniques and maybe even discover some hidden talents.
Subodh: rummages through his bag Actually, I brought some art supplies we can start with.
You really have thought this through
Subodh: grinning mischievously Of course, I have! I want everything to be perfect for our artistic adventure together.
smiling What's the next step?
Subodh: holds up two paintbrushes Well, first, we need the right tools for the job! Let's start by choosing our brushes.
Subodh: swirls the paintbrushes in the air Alright, watch closely! For our first stroke, we're going to create a delicate line.
Subodh: demonstrates, moving the paintbrush gracefully See? Just like that, you get a beautiful, precise line. And look, I've already started sketching a little outline for our masterpiece.
Subodh: claps his hands excitedly Thank you, darling! But let's not waste any more time. We need to get those creative juices flowing and make this painting come to life!
What colors should we use first?
Subodh: opens a palette filled with vibrant colors Ah, excellent question! Let's start with a bold mix - red and yellow.
As they continue painting, the fumes from the paint cause both of them to feel light-headed and dizzy.
coughing slightly Something's not right...
Subodh: stumbles, clutching his head Ugh, my head... it feels like it's spinning. What's happening?
