Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 8

Prabhas's Pov:

Oh wow. She's sitting next to me. Close enough to where I can smell her floral perfume. 

Unfortunately, she turns to her left and starts making conversation with Ma. 

I inwardly groan but turn to Rana who is not eating but infatuated with Ms. business who is sitting across from him. 

I nudge his shoulder and give him a teasing smile.

"Hmm, is someone in love," I tease him. 

"Shut up," he replies to me a little too loudly. 

Anushka stops her conversation with my mom and turns to look at us.

"Why are you yelling," she rolls her eyes at us. 

Rana nudges my shoulder and teases me back. 

"Stop it," I yell at him. 

Shriya looks at us and rolls her eyes. "You guys are like teenage girls," she laughs and Miheeka does as well. 

I turn to look at Rana who is now sporting a blush. 

I look at him and laugh to which he sneers at me.

 "Oh wow, that's right Uncle," I hear Anushka talking about us to Ma and Nanna. 

I nudge Rana's shoulder and tell him to try to listen to what they are saying. 

I lean over on my left elbow and eat my food with my ear listening in their direction. 

"Prabhas, what are you doing, sit properly," Ma scolds me. 

Anushka turns and looks at me along with everyone else at the table. 

She, Miheeka, and Shriya share a look to which Rana raises his eyebrow at me. 

The girls quickly finish eating and go into Shriya's room. 

After a few minutes, Rana and I clear our plates and start going upstairs. When we walk by Shriya's room we hear giggling. Rana presses his head to the door to try to listen. 

"I know, he's so cute, totally my type," We hear Miheeka saying. Rana's eyes go wide. 

"Meh I prefer more of this type of handsome," Anushka adds to her, and my eyes leave the sockets. I trip over Rana's foot and he falls on top of me. 

"What the hell," Rana mumbles to me. I roll over onto the floor. I hear the door open next to us and Miheeka and Anushka peek out of the door and look down at us. 

Miheeka covers her mouth to stop from laughing and Anushka bites down on her lip.

"What's wrong," I hear Shriya call out. They don't reply, so she comes over and looks at us, and starts laughing. 

"Oh I'm sorry, how rude of us, here let me help you up," Anushka opens the door completely and walks towards Rana. 

He has already gotten up so she turns to me and gives me her hand. I take her hand in mine and she pulls me up. 

I pretend to lose my balance so I fall onto her and she wraps her arm around my shoulder. I look over at Rana who has his mouth open at me and I just smirk. 

She walks me to my room and sets me on my bed. "Do you need an ice pack," she asks me. 

I take this as a chance to spend more time with her. "Yes, if you don't mind."

"Ya, I'll tell aunty to get it," she leaves the room. I fall on the bed and groan.
