Raining Love for Her, Kalai Selvi Arivalagan [ebook reader TXT] 📗

energy and the motivation. Dopamine gives the motivation to win love, the life's greatest prize. The response of norepinephrine has never been accurately studied in relation to romantic love, but it gets more activated in people in love.

Infatuation that kindles an unbearable attraction toward a person is due to the virtual explosion of these three chemicals. Phenylethylamine speeds up the flow of information between brain cells, dopamine makes the person feel good and glow with love, and norepinephrine simulates the production of adrenalin. Adrenalin makes our heart beat faster and our eyes sparkle with love.

Suddenly Reema felt the urge to reduce the distance between her and Vel and sit cuddled to him on the pillion. She remembered this is due to Oxytocin, the cuddling chemical, which makes the lovers yearn for the need to be held physically close, and care for each other. Oxytocin can be triggered immediately by the look or even the enticing perfume smell from the lover.
In addition to this, another natural chemical also plays a main role in making people love sick.

The common symptoms of love, restlessness, shaky knees, and sweaty palms are caused by Phenylethylamine which is commonly called love molecule. This love molecule is released from the brain by simple actions like meeting of the eyes or touching the hands. Racing pulses, heavy breathing and becoming emotional are due to the over dose of the so called love molecule. Interesting to note here is that chocolates have a very high level of this love molecule.

“Thank you.” With a smile, Reema got the chocolate from Vel and started to munch heartily.

“A perfect gift to start our hide and seek game in the name of love,” Reema told herself with much joy. Her eyes looked bright with the light of love. Looking at her changing reactions in the rear view mirror, Vel smiled to himself. “These girls, no one can understand.” With thoughts in the same wave length, their ride moved smoothly on the ECR.

Vel showed good control over his bike. He maintained average speed throughout the ride and at the same time made Reema feel thrilled and excited over the long ride on the stretch of ECR. Though he wished Reema to put her hands around him and make feel the warmth of her love, he restricted himself from wishing to be so early. If she started to feel he took advantage of their lonely ride on the ECR, things may not fall in place. Silently at his heart he wanted first to take Reema into his confidence and allow him inside her heart.

Suddenly it started to drizzle, and so everyone halted at a roadside resort hotel. Finishing their breakfast there, the group decided to take a walk on the private beach shore of the resort. The entire shore looked clean and tidy.

Just like their group, groups of youngsters thronged the resort. Everywhere Reema could hear happy giggles and loud laughter.

“Caroline, can we go and play in the swing?” Reema ran and sat on the swing. There was no drizzle and the sun rays brightened up the place. The cool sea breeze helped them not to feel the hot sun rays.

Reema enjoyed going up in the air in the swing. Caroline and Reema took turns to push the swing and spent more than an hour by going up and down in the swing.

“Let us go and stand in the sea water for some time.” Both of them hand in hand walked toward the sea. The water looked crystal clear and chill.

“Move ahead. Let us stand there.” Caroline dragged Reema along with her into the waters. The tides were low and every tide splashed foamy waves on them.

“It is heaven. Is it not?” Reema quipped happily to Caroline.

“Do you want to go for a swim in the sea?” Caroline called Reema teasingly.

“Oh, god, I forgot to bring my swim suit. But I don’t mind swimming with my jeans.” Both of them burst into loud laughter. Reema felt light at heart and hoped she had wings to fly up in the air and show the world her happiness.

Enjoying the touch of cold waves, Reema plunged into her romantic thoughts. She shifted her legs to stand firm on the sea water. The sand under her legs drifted away and it took a while to balance standing in the sea water.
“Hi, Reema, take this.” Reema turned around to see who talked to her.

“Look at this. It is so huge. I found it on the shore.” Vel gave her one beautiful sea shell.

“Keep the shell on your ear you can feel the sound of the waves inside the shell.”
Reema kept the shell on her ear and patiently listened to the sound inside the shell.

“I have read about this sound. It is not the sound from the shell. It is the sound of the blood that runs through the veins in our ears.” Reema gave a good explanation without smiling.

“Then it is the sound of your heart.”

“What is the connection between the heart and the ears? I could not understand.” Reema questioned Vel.

“I told you whatever I thought.” Without waiting for her to reply, Vel moved ahead into the sea and picked some more shells that were scattered across the sandy sea shore.

“Oh!” suddenly Reema screamed loudly. A well grown crab that peeped from its hole in the sand came walking toward Reema’s leg. The crab wanted to get hold of the plankton sticking on her feet. When the crab touched her leg with its pincers, it made her shout.

“Enough. I am not going to stand in the water anymore.” Reema walked awkwardly in the wet sand and sat down on the swing once again. The warm breeze and the sun rays helped to dry her dress quickly. Caroline also joined her and once again they enjoyed swinging for some more time.
Looking longingly at the sea shore, Reema wished to be born as a mermaid in her next birth. The world under the sea always excited her and till then she did not get an opportunity to know more in detail about it. The world of fish always fascinated her and she wanted to know more about the life under the sea.

Someone called Caroline, and so she left Reema alone on the swing and went to the reception. Reema alone on the swing moved fast high up in the air. She enjoyed swinging so high in the air. For a few shots high up in the air, she enjoyed the fun. But suddenly, she felt so dizzy and wanted to stop the swing from going up and down in the air. When the swing came down, Reema hit her left foot on the ground and tried to stop the swing from moving up again.

Within a fraction of a second, she lost her balance and the swing board twisted suddenly. Losing her grip on the ground, Reema went head long on the ground. As it was only sand, Reema escaped without any injury, but she could not come out of the shock for some time.
Some girls who were walking toward the sea came running to her and helped her to stand up. Caroline who was walking back from the reception sensed something went wrong and came running toward Reema. She opened the water bottle and asked Reema to take a few gulps of water.

“Thank you, I am alright.” Reema kept on repeating to Caroline.

“What happened?” Caroline was worried.

“Don’t tell all these things to them. It may spoil the trip. I am ok, come we will go and join them for our lunch.” Reema holding Caroline tightly, walked slowly on the sandy shore.

After lunch, Reema looked normal. She totally forgot what happened to her at the swings, and enjoyed her time with her friends.

After enjoying the get together for more than three hours, the group started their return journey.

Evening set in and they watched the breath taking beauty of the evening sun in the back drop of sea shore. Reema accompanied Vel everywhere and enjoyed even sharing the lunch with him. But her mood suddenly changed now and then which made Vel nervous at time. She looked unpredictable. At one point she made him feel that she desperately needed him and she loved him so much. At another point, she suddenly distanced herself from him and looked nervous and unhappy showing stress on her beautiful face.

Vel could not understand her mood fluctuations, but it clearly showed Reema did not want to get emotionally attached to him so soon. She did not want to take any chances and lose him forever. These thoughts may be sensible on her part, but not sharing them with Vel made him feel desperate and unhappy. She made him feel confused and he could not decide if she loved him or not. Reema looked like a problem that is without a solution and he did not know which love formula will work with her.

Vel decided to wait for her. He felt she needed some time to take a strong decision that will not be changed elsewhere in the future. His matured way of approaching problems helped him to remain stable and strong.

“Caroline, I will join Sanjay. Can you go with Vel?” When Reema asked Caroline, she was initially shocked to hear.

“Why, what happened. You only wanted to go along with him.” Caroline looked at her without understanding what happened to her.

“Yes, let me go along with Sanjay.” Reema without waiting for any answer sat on the pillion.

“Leave her. We will go.” Without showing any reactions, Vel started his bike. He really could not tell what went on Reema’s mind and why she changed her mind so. When they started from Chennai in the morning, she desperately wanted to accompany Vel, but now she has voluntarily changed that option.

Reema’s face did not show any signs of unhappiness or stress. She looked totally calm and relaxed. But her sudden neglect made Vel feel hurt and unhappy. The thrill and excitement that Reema’s nearness looked short lived and he could not find out what made her to do so.

Chapter 7

Next day when they met in their office, the group had become extremely close. Sharing the photos taken during the trip, they teased each other and laughed heartily.

Around lunch time, Caroline called Reema. “Reema, do you mind coming to my house, this weekend?”

“Yes. What is the special occasion?”

“Can you come and help me to build the crib for this Christmas?” Caroline requested her.

“No, problem, I love doing it.” Reema accepted Caroline’s invitation at once without knowing a surprise awaited for her at Caroline’s house.

Reema reached Caroline’s house around 10 am in the morning. Two of them sat throughout the day cutting and pasting long sheets of cardboard till afternoon. After lunch, both of them took rest for a while listening to some songs.

Around two o’clock in the afternoon, Vel peeped inside through the window and called Caroline.

“Half of the work is done. You are here now.” Complaining Caroline opened the door for him.

“I got stuck with some work at home. I took my mom to the hospital.”

“You are excused. Had your lunch”?

“Not yet.”

“Then come and have your lunch.” Caroline’s
