Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 20

Anushka's Pov:

I pull up to Shriya's house and text her that I am here. I browse on my phone as I sip the black coffee I made this morning.

"Where is this girl, we are gonna be late," I mumble. I put the coffee back into my cup holder and get out of my car. When I reached their door, I was surprised to see Prabhas open it. 

He looked like he was not expecting me either, "Um, hi Anushka." 

I laughed at his cuteness and stepped inside. 

"Where is Shriya? We are going to be late today," I said as I closed the door behind me. I noticed that he is in his work clothes, a buttoned shirt tucked into his long form-fitting pants. He walks over to me and stands next to me.

"Um, can I have your number in case you know she doesn't pick up again," I look at him for a second before nodding. He hands me his phone to put my number in. I bit my lip down as I felt his stare on me as I type in my name and number.

"Here, just give me a missed call," I hand his phone back to him and he smiles at me.

"Got it," he puts his phone back into his pocket and walks away.

"Sorry, sorry, let's go now," Shriya comes running downstairs with her back.

"Finally, let's go." We get into my car and I drive us to college.

We run into class and luckily make it right on time.

We walk to some empty seats and sit down.

I take a few notes in my journal, but it's mostly review stuff today.

"See you all tomorrow." Our lecturer lets us out of class. Shriya and I grab our bags and walk out of class together.

As I walk towards the benches in the little courtyard, I see a group of people come across us.

"Missed me," I looked up and my eyes went wide.

Prabhas's Pov:

Once she puts her number into her phone, I walk back upstairs into my room to grab my stuff for work.

"Yes," I do a little happy dance and lay on my bed.

I pull up her contact and see that she put her name in as Anushka. I click on the edit button.

Na Bangaram

I smile to myself and press save. I quickly get off the bed and leave my room to go to work.

Anushka's Pov:

Shriya turns and looks at me with her eyebrows scrunched up as if asking me what is going on. I glare at him as he looks at me with a smirk.

"What do you want," I look up at him keeping a straight face, hiding my fear. He brings his face closer to mine and I push Shriya behind me and slowly walk back a little. He looks a little annoyed, but laughs.

"You know what I want," He reaches out and holds my arm. He pulls me closer to him and leans down to my ear, "and I always get what I want." I shiver when I feel him breathe by my ear and my heart starts pounding in my chest. I pull my hand out of his grip, and feel my arm bruising a little bit.

"What the hell, Anushka, what was that," Shriya questions me. I get into my car and she follows behind me. I don't immediately start the car, but I lay my head on the seat. I take a deep breath holding back the tears ready to fall.

"Anushka, calm down, I think I should drive." I stubbornly shake my head at her and she sighs.

"Fine, but drive to my house," I sigh and nod at her. 

Thank you so much for reading!
