“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

*Mihira Pov*“Are you back?” I asked the moment lifting his call but he calmly replied asking me to come to the garden area.“I will be there.” I replied ignoring the books scattered around me before rushing out of my room and stepped outside to see him waiting for me.I smiled at him and he smiled back before pulling me into his arms. I looked around thinking about our parents as it’s really dark right now.But he ended up hugging me tightly which caused me to pat his back to leave some space which he completely ignored.“What happened, Abhi?” I asked hugging him back while thinking about his behavior.“I just missed you.” He replied and I don’t know how long we stood there like that but he eventually let go of me.“Uncle and you had a date or what? It’s nearly midnight and you just returned.” I asked holding his hands to warm

*Kavitha Pov*“You dropped her home?” Rakesh asked the moment I reached them and I gave him a nod before glancing at others.At present everyone except Abhi is sitting at the café and I can see the sadness in their expressions.“What did she say?” Vikesh asked glancing at me when I sat down.“She didn’t say anything. Do you guys really think all this was necessary? I am still not sure doing this to her is a good idea from any angle.” I commented and they just sighed.“None of us think this is a good idea but this is what he wants. We don’t know what he will do if she finds out and that’s why it’s better to follow his wishes.” He replied looking down.“He will get better for sure and we will apologize to her along with him. He is thinking that even after the surgery he will not get better but that will not be the c

#After a few months#*Abhilash Pov*“You will catch a cold, Abhi.” I turned to find Mom standing near the door as I just stepped out of the resort to enjoy the fresh air.“I am fine, Mom! Did you rest properly? We have to travel today and it’s a long journey.” I mumbled and she smiled hearing those words.“I should be asking that. Your Dad is still resting inside.” She said walking towards me before covering me with a coat she brought with her.We both stayed silent and stared at the view my Dad decided before booking this resort for a month and it’s already over.“Do you really want to start going to college? You can take more rest.” She mumbled and I sighed glancing at her.I can understand her thoughts as these past few months were hard for all of us but I had enough rest and as of now there is

*Kavitha Pov*“Are you guys waiting for Mihira? She just went to pass a message and will be here soon.” I mumbled when I found everyone waiting for her.“He is using her as a slave.” Rakesh mumbled beside me but I shook my head at those words but then even I feel that sometimes with the way she is feeling tired all the time for the past months.“Come on! He helped Abhi and that makes him be at a stage where we should respect him.” Kalyan commented looking at everyone.“How was the first day?” I asked looking at Abhi who is ignoring everyone and just looking at the way from where she will come to get her vehicle.“Fine! It feels good to be back but it doesn’t feel good to get a lift from someone like this.” He commented as he is at present sitting behind Vikesh.I heard his vehicle is being restricted for him to use for a few days until he gets us

*Abhilash Pov*“Are you sure, Doctor?” she asked again not accepting his words at all.As I thought, she brought me directly to the department where no one would think of unless she already knows about everything.When I saw her Mom waiting for us, I thought she must have told her but even she is staring at Mihi in surprise but didn’t say anything except for taking us both directly to my doctor and he conducted the check-up without asking anything.However, when he said I am completely fine and it was a normal bump just how everyone gets if they get hit, she is not accepting that fact and is continuously repeating her question.“But the ball reached him at full force from the other side of the court and it must have hit him hard. Is he really fine?” she stressed making him smile at her while I just stared at her.“Mihi! Stop doubting him like this.” Her Mom commented an

#Three Years Back#*Haritha Pov*“Where will you be joining after graduation?” I asked looking at the Senior who is going to attend his graduation ceremony soon and he will not be going to come to college anymore that hurts a bit for sure to not see your crush anymore.“I got a very good opportunity but that’s because of the guidance I got from Swapnil Sir. I am glad he chose to mentor you next. Even though it will be for a year, it is very helpful just like how it was for me.” He replied smiling.“Thanks for recommending me.” I mumbled which made him frown.“I didn’t recommend you near him. I heard you were the one who approached him with the doubts you have and he was glad someone else is there to think out of the box regarding the subject they are learning and when he asked me how are

#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
