All Chapters of A Pretense: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

#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

*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

*Abhilash Pov* “You don’t want me to give a lift anymore? Why? Are you again going to pester us to let you use your bike?” Dad asked frowning at me.“That is not going to happen.” Mom joined the conversation after hearing the conversation while I smiled at them.“It is better to sell my bike, Dad.” I mumbled leaning back which surprised them but they didn’t believe me at the same time.“I am going to ask Mihi to drop me and pick me up.” I added and they finally relaxed their expression.“Okay! By the way, I want to ask your Swapnil Sir to visit our home for dinner today for the help he provided for you. It was not a small task at all. As it is weened, he will be comfortable to visit today with the next two days being holidays.” Dad said and I gave him a nod because even I have to thank Sir but didn’t find the right time or that’s what

*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

*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
