Na Bangaram (Pranushka)

Chapter 28

Anushka's Pov:

"Ya that works," I say to Miheeka. We are at a little coffee shop planning our next little outing.

"I don't think Shriya will come, she doesn't like swimming that much," Miheeka says to me and I nod in agreement.

"Um, I was thinking of asking the boys, Rana, and Prabhas, if they wanted to come. They've been stressed with work and stuff," I laugh as Miheeka asks me.

"Ya sure," I nod at her and she smiles.

"Wait, can I have Rana's number," I ask her.

"Ya," she hands me her phone and I copy down his number.

"I'll make a group chat with the four of us and we can figure out when they can come to the pool," I tell her. She nods at me. I open up messages on my phone and add Miheeka, Rana, and Prabhas into a group and text them.

"Ok, I think that's fine," Miheeka says to me once she reads the text.

We finish up our coffee and walk out of the café together.

My phone vibrates as we walk to the car.

"Rana said he will check their schedule to see if they can come," I say to Miheeka. She rolls her eyes, "He told me yesterday that he's free this weekend, but ok he can check," she replies to me.

We walk to my car and I drive Miheeka back to her house.

"Bye," she waves at me as she grabs her bag and closes the car door.

Prabhas's Pov:

I groan as I hear my phone start ringing.

"Who is calling this early on a Saturday morning," I mumble as I reach for my phone.

I realize that it's an alarm, not a phone call.

"Oh shit," I slept in way too late. Rana and I are supposed to meet Miheeka and Anushka at the pool in like 20 minutes. I get off the bed and run into my bathroom. I quickly brush my teeth and change into my swim trunks. I go to Rana's room and open the door.

"Are you ready to go," I asked him? He nods and gets off the bed.

We tell Ma that we are going and get into Rana's car.

"Oh that's Miheeka's car," Rana says as we drive into the parking lot by the pool. He parks next to their car. We get out and walk towards the pool. I put on my sunglasses as I feel the sun coming onto my eyes.

"Do you see them," Rana asks as he looks around? I shake my head no and continue looking.

I look to my right, and I spot them getting their stuff set up to swim. Anushka is wearing a yellow one-piece with white flowers and a crisscross design on the chest. Her hair is up in a bun on her head showing off her shoulder and her long arms. I don't realize that I am staring until Rana nudges my shoulder, "Stop drooling," he smirks. I roll my eyes at him. We walk over to them and set our phones down on the chairs. Rana walks over to Miheeka and leans down to peck her lips.

Rana's Pov:

"Are you gonna swim," Miheeka asks me while tying her hair? She has on a black swimsuit which shows off her toned stomach. It's a little bit low cut so I start to get a little protective when I look around and see a bunch of guys near us.

"Ya," I say without breaking contact with her.

We walk towards the pool and get in from the shallow end.
