“What happened to you? Why are you looking so lost?” Dad asked sitting beside me as I was just sitting idly on the couch without doing anything.
“She is feeling bored.” Mom replied passing coffee to him and sat down to drink hers.
“Where are your friends?” he asked frowning and I turned towards him to reply.
“They all have their plans. Some went to their hometowns and some are staying at their places.” She replied and I had to pause the words from coming out even though I already opened my mouth.
“Then what about Abhi? I just saw him entering his house when I returned from work.” He continued to ask and this time I glanced at Mom.
She stared back at me without saying anything as if waiting for me to answer. I didn’t say anything and this made Dad repeat his question.
“I thought Mom will answer for me. It seems I hired he

*Abhilash Pov*After parking my vehicle, I walked towards her as she is waiting for me while holding both our bags. However, Vikesh reached her first while showing something to her.“What is that?” I asked placing my hand over her shoulder while he stared at me before glancing at the hand.“My Dad bought a bike for me yesterday night. I am showing her the keys.” He replied waving the keys with a smile.“Shouldn’t you be showing the vehicle?” Mihi asked frowning at him.“That! My Dad took it to his workplace and said I can use it after getting my license.” He replied scratching his neck.“This is a duplicate key?” I asked and he gave a nod sighing.“Actually, even I want to get my license. I have to learn how to drive also.” Mihi commented frowning.“This weekend I am going to write the exam and you can join me. You

*Mihira Pov*“What are you doing?” Kavitha asked while hitting my leg with hers continuously.“I am nervous!” I whispered but she sighed before pushing my tray away from my hands and placed my bag on my shoulder.“It’s already been a week. Just go and do it right now.” She raised her voice this time and I immediately stood up while gulping.“What’s happening here?” I can hear Abhi’s voice but I am not in a mood to say anything right now to any of them.I need to do this otherwise I will be the one at loss. Ignoring their questions I rushed towards the cafeteria entrance where he is just stepping out and managed to reach his side the moment we passed the cafeteria building.“Sir?” I called him and had to do it two more times before he realized that I am trying to call him.“What is it?” he asked glancing at me and ev

*Mihira Pov*I don’t even know what I was doing as my brain got stuck to the point of his voice saying ‘I like you, Mihi!’. What? Does he like me? But why? Why does he like me?However, when I heard someone calling my name, I was brought out of my thoughts and finally pushed him away a bit so that I can concentrate on my breathing now as I even forgot to breathe.I stared at him and he stared back but glanced at the door when we both heard footsteps reaching us. I tried to calm my heartbeat so that I can talk to… to… senior!Yes! I can talk to Senior who is approaching us I guess but he suddenly held my hand before pulling me away from the door and walked towards the back end of the room where there is a corner far away from the sight of the door.Then he pulled me down to kneel on the floor as if completely hiding from the person that is opening the door now.“Mihira!&rdqu

*Mihira Pov*“Don’t you think Abhi is spending too much time at our house these days?” I couldn’t help but cough hearing those words from my Dad as to my luck I just took a bite of my breakfast.Of course! My Dad is saying the truth but the way he said it and the things that are happening made me give such a reaction.What my Dad doesn’t know is that Abhi is not just spending time at our house but he is being… he is being too much touchy if I describe it but at the same time, it is not as it feels completely natural to get such attention from him.“What is wrong with that? He is actually pushing our daughter to not skip her classes every day. Isn’t that a good thing?” Mom asked glancing at Dad.Yes! That’s my problem with everything happening. After internals, I thought I can take rest for a few days but he is just barging into our house and even knocking my

*Mihira Pov*I sighed staring at everyone as they are sitting in silence while ignoring to stare at anyone except for Vikesh along with me but even he is upset like others.I was looking forward to the well-talked trip for a year but who would have thought it would mess up in this way.It’s not like the reason behind them feeling upset is not justifiable but still, I am disappointed and I am fine with being called selfish.“This is not at all fair, guys. You need to at least tell me what happened, right?” Vikesh asked frowning at us.Of course, he is the one with major issues right now as he is the only one who doesn’t know one single thing from the list of things that happened during just those five days.But then I am the one who knows everyone’s issues and that could give me more credit, right? Ugh! I never thought my house would become a place where silence is fil

*Mihira Pov*“Do you want to go out, Mihira?” Kavitha asked when we packed our bags to leave as the classes finished.I was waiting for her to say those words all these days. Even when I called her during the holidays, she acted like everything is fine.However, the last was more than an awkward event for all of us. Vikesh calmed down his curiosity while Kalyan behaved normally and he may need some time to be comfortable but it is not like before.Even Rekha seems fine except near me and I don’t even know why as I can feel her calm towards Abhi but kind of shows irritation towards me like in the beginning.Rakesh and Kavitha are the ones in a major stage and the time during lunch is like a place where they are acting too much.“Sure!” I mumbled and she smiled before we stepped out of the classroom while I messaged Abhi that he can leave later without me as I have plan

*Mihira Pov*“Are you okay now?” I asked glancing at her as she is no longer reluctant to join the table for lunch.“Yeah! But these days I finally realized how you must have felt when I forced you to join them.” She mumbled glancing at me.“Then I got my revenge then.” I teased but she shook her head.“Don’t worry! I should actually thank you for forcing me like that otherwise I would have missed on so many things.” I assured her and we both reached the place but they were late today.“We don’t have any classes today. Why don’t we go and watch a movie? Tomorrow is already a holiday.” She said checking the messages regarding the lecturer being absent for today which canceled his classes.I nodded at her while thinking whether to do what she is saying or should I contact Swapnil Sir as we need to have another session and this time I wi

*Mihira Pov*“Ugh! Let’s find some other place to sit from tomorrow onwards.” Rakesh commented and we both paused our conversation to look at him but found everyone staring at us.“We didn’t say anything when you were doing the same earlier, right? So, just bear with it.” Vikesh waved him off while gesturing us to continue.“What happened?” I asked them frowning.“Everyone is enjoying the banter between both of you except for two of us.” Kavitha commented while gesturing Rakesh.“Oh!” I mumbled sitting properly while pushing away his hand from mine.It’s been a week since everyone found out but I am still angry or trying to be angry at Abhi for the way he behaved in front of everyone.“I never apologized to anyone in my life like this except my Mom.” Abhi mumbled frowning at me and I sighed still tryin

#After A Few Months#*Vikesh Pov*“You told me that you are not the last one to get married in your gang?” My wife whom I got married to just a few days back asked looking at me.“Yeah!” I replied nodding at her as I bragged near everyone that I am not the last one like they expected me to be.“But they both are definitely married.” She mumbled pointing at the famous couple in my gang who made everyone run a marathon with their ups and downs for sure with our minds.Kalyan and his wife who just took a picture with us turned to look at the said couple my wife is talking about.“Don’t worry, Mihi! I will wake you up tomorrow and will even pack some food for lunch.” Abhi assured her as he kept on thinking about her work.“But you will be tired of doing that. Is it fine?” she asked frowning and h

*Haritha Pov*“She just asked me to pick me up. Why is everyone here?” Abhilash frowned looking at us as her friends are here but also her two lecturers.“She is my student and I deserve to be here unlike you who is just a friend like them.” Swapnil commented and I hit on his shoulder hearing those words.“Sir!” Abhilash mumbled frowning at him while his friends were laughing after hearing those words.However, when there was an announcement he walked away from us to reach the point where there will be no railing after she crosses.Mihira waved at us the moment she found us and stared at us with a surprised look but then that turned into confusion as her eyes kept on searching for someone.“See? That’s why he deserves it not us.” I pointed out as she just waved at us and her excitement reduced when she didn’t find Abhilash with us.However, when

#After a few months#*Abhilash Pov*“Mihi!” I whispered waking her up but she groaned and turned to sleep with her back towards me and I stood up sighing.“You need to wake up, Mihi. We need to go on a trip today within an hour.” I pointed out but she covered her ears to block my voice.I already informed our friends to be at this place after two hours when she didn’t pick my calls and when I called Aunty she informed me that Mihi is not at all waking up.“Fine!” I mumbled laying down beside her before holding her in my arms.“What are you doing?” she mumbled with a sleepy tone.“You are not waking up and I will just be here and let’s skip the trip.” I explained and she turned around in my arms to frown at me.“It’s not good to skip the trip.” She whispered and

*Mihira Pov*“He told you all that?” I asked staring at him and he nodded while passing the water glass to my hands.I don’t know what just happened in my room but he is acting as if nothing happened and so even I am following his acting.“Yes! It seems for meddling in his affairs.” He mumbled and I sighed taking a sip from the glass and made sure to not stare at his lips when he is doing the same.At the end of it what we decided to do was just be friends like I asked him to but that kiss… if I look at it from the third perspective then I would have said wow instead of being awkward like this.“You can just come to college tomorrow. I don’t think he has any right to say anything else.” He assured me and I nodded placing the glass down.“Thanks for trying to take the blame like that even though he found out everything because of that.” I mumbled

*Mihira Pov*“I will take care of this.” Maam said taking the file from his hands as he was about to pass it to me to type it in the system.“It’s okay! She can do it.” Sir assured her while gesturing me to take it and I was about to but Maam stopped me again.“You are making her do too much work. She needs to prepare for coming internals and you are already making her study for some exam during weekends.” She pointed out while I stepped back a bit feeling awkward with the way they both are fighting like this because of me.“You are worrying too much about her. She need not study for internals or even final exams for that matter.” He assured her again while glaring at me.Wow! This feels like my parents are fighting whether to make me work or not. I smiled at him before glancing at Maam.“It’s okay, Maam! He doesn’t want you to feel tired.&

*Abhilash Pov*“These are the students in charge?” I asked looking at Vikesh after he called out a few students from three classes on this floor.“Yeah! I asked them properly and these people walked out.” He assured me and I gave him a nod before glancing at Rekha and Kalyan.They both walked towards the group of students to talk with them while Vikesh, Rakesh, and I stood away to let them deal with it but frowned looking at a few students standing near the door in a group.“Aren’t those the people we saw that day…” I trailed remembering just the faces of two in that gang.“Yeah! I think so.” Rakesh mumbled nodding at me while frowning at them as Kavitha continued to point out them as she is still angry at them for commenting on Mihi like that and also because the juniors are passing the rumors now because of this gang.“Let’s go!” I

*Mihira Pov*“How are you feeling now?” Mom asked caressing my hair when I woke up to find her sitting beside me.“Fine!” I replied shifting a bit and found Dad standing near the door with a worried look.“Mom! Dad! I am sorry for pretending before both of you.” I mumbled sitting up with her support.“It is our fault for hiding it.” She said before passing the bowl of oat porridge and I took a bite from it not knowing what to say hearing that from her.“Abhi is here!” Dad commented clearing his throat and I turned to see him standing beside my Dad.“He has been checking up on you from the morning and it’s already the fifth time.” Mom said standing up before stepping out of the room and my Dad followed her.Abhi stepped into my room hesitantly before occupying the place my Mom just left. He stared at the bowl and took it from my

*Swapnil Pov*“What are you doing here? I didn’t ask you to come today, right?” I asked her frowning while she just sat at the table I am sitting at before opening the books and started reading.I opened my mouth to scold her for not replying but those words stopped after looking at her expression.“You cried?” I asked which she again ignored and I remember what I did yesterday to show my pettiness as she accused me of it.I am her lecturer but still fighting with her like this. I shook my head before taking out a notepad and note down the ones she needs to check next.“Check whether these books are there in the library otherwise I will get them from somewhere else.” I said passing the note which she took before standing up and walked away towards the side where the books could be.After some time she returned with just one book and mumbled, “I couldn’t find

*Mihira Pov*“Is something wrong, Mihi?” Mom’s voice brought me out of my thoughts and I glanced at her only to find both of them staring at me with a frown.“Everything is fine, Mom.” I mumbled but she glanced at my plate and I stared at that direction and found I am rubbing the rice on the plate which made it into a paste subconsciously.“I think I am not hungry.” I added getting up before taking my plate to wash it properly as I made it into a huge mess.After reaching my room, I sat before the system but just stared at it. I don’t have any work to do as he is mad at me for today’s event.“Principal invited me for dinner today for helping his son regarding the notes and stuff.” He commented the moment I reached his table after the lunch break.“You will enjoy the dinner, Sir. His wife is the best cook and you w
