Chapter 52 Back To College 14

Shriya saw the expressions of her friends on the screen and she was positive that they saw the most handsome man beside her and she was truly screwed. She hung up the phone. She took a long breath and looked around and she didnot knwo what to do. Everyone is busy eating as if nothing happened there. Abhi focused his while concentration on peeling the fish skin on Shriya’s plate. She was truly moved by this small kind gesture of his and a didnot knew how to thank him for his affection. But right now she is thinking about what to say to her friends. She is positive that they will bombard her with tonnes of questions and tries get answers from her. She was in her own train of thoughts when she heard her phone ring. Shri was about to get up from her seat to go somewhere else to talk to her friends, when they called again, but Abhi caught her hand and said first eat then go and talk to them. He said in a firm tone and she didn’t dare to say anything to him but to decline the call. She nodded her head and sat down. Abhi kept her phone in silent mode so that she could enjoy her lunch in peace. She sent a quick text message to Sony. ’I am having my lunch right now, talk to u later, bye’. Sony : ’Okay fine, but u have 2 explain what I just saw. Enjoy your holiday????.’ Shriya saw the message and was about to reply, when Abhi took her phone and put it in his pocket and continued eating with a poker face. She knew he was upset and nodded her head in nervousness. She saw the pieces Abhi has put in her plate and she started eating them in fast bites. She almost choked on her food when Abhi looked at her and said with a smile Eat slowly. Only after seeing him smile she relaxed. After a delicious lunch of local recepies, they all went to rest under a tree by a nearby lake. Abhi sat on a rock under the neem tree reading a book. The sight of him reading a book itself can make girls go crazy and the person in the scene was so handsome that Shriya started gazing at him with hearts in her eyes. Manvi and Uday were sitting on the sand and playing with water, splashing water at each other and enjoying these sweet moments. Preeti started munching on the snacks and building sand castles. Rahul is busy taking the pictures of the location and showing off his photography skills. Shriya sat next to Abhi and was watching everyone. She peeled an orange and handed a piece to Abhi, to which he opened his mouth . Shriya was taken aback by his gesture but put the piece in his mouth nervously. Her face turned red when his lips touched her fingers and her heart skipped a beat. Rahul clicked the camera and captured the beautiful moment of his brother and he looked satisfied with it. Evening they all reached the hotel exhausted. They all sat in Rahul’s room, had coffee and snacks. Later they returned to their respective rooms. Shriya called Sony and the latter answered the call on the very first ring and she sounded very excited. Sony : Hey! what took you so long to call me back ? We were waiting for your call like crazy here. Tell me what I saw this afternoon? Where were you and why did I see Abhishek Malhotra beside you? Sony asked so many questions that Shriya felt her head spinning. She didn’t even let her say ’Hello’ and she was drowned in the questions her friend showered with. Shriya took a long breath and she decided to say the truth but not the entire truth. She likes Sony and believes the latter, but she cannot take risk, afterall women are known for gossiping and they cannot keep secrets.
