Aman so obediently extended his hand, thinking that she was going to give him something. He did it as soon as he heard the first part of her sentence. Once the words " I want to tie a Rakhi to you" had reached his ears and up through the neurons cells to the brain, his reaction to it was so fast that it was hard to differentiate if it was a reflex action or a voluntary reaction/response sent by the brain. Aman had quickly taken his extended hand back and hit his head with it and settled down properly in his seat.

         Harini didn't realize what had happened, for one second his hand was right there and next he was hitting his head and pointing to her as if to indicate that she had gone mad. She turned back to see Senthil's and John's reaction. They were still encouraging her not to give up as if she had almost reached the finish line of a race fully devoid of energy and had to only take few steps to reach it.
