SHOT 7

Author's POV:

Atharv, Bhumi, Vindhya, and Samhith went out in the evening.
 
Vindhya and Samhith went to buy a gift for the newlywed couple. Atharv was sitting in the food court in a corner, looking at something on his mobile.
 
"What happened? Why are you sitting here alone?" Bhumi asked, going towards him with two ice cream cones in her hand.
 
"Nothing much," Atharv said, taking a ice cream cone from her.
 
"Then why are you so moody?" Bhumi asked, pulling his cheeks.
 
"Ah! Stop pulling them, noodles," Atharv said, making an annoyed face.
 
"Stop calling me noodles, Chubby cheeks," Bhumi said, glaring at him.
 
"Will you call me the same after we get married too?" Atharv said, looking at her.
 
Bhumi sat there stunned, listening to him.

"What did you say now?" Bhumi asked him.
 
"Did you hear something?" Atharv asked, smirking at her.
 
"No! But?" Bhumi sat there with a confused face.
 
"She did hear it, right?" thought Bhumi.
 
"What happened, noodles?" Atharv asked, making an innocent face.
 
"Nothing!" Bhumi said, looking at Atharv.
 
She looked at his face and thought, "So, Chubby Cheeks, you are playing with me, right? So, let me join the game, too."
 
She ate her ice cream silently, waiting for her chance to tease him.
 
Soon, Vindhya and Samhith joined them.
 
"By the way, Vindhu baby, what do you think about Karthik?" Bhumi asked, looking at Atharv from the corner of her eyes.
 
"You mean our colleague, Karthik?" asked Vindhya.
 
"Yeah!" said Bhumi.
 
"He is a good guy, looks handsome, and looks cute when he smiles," Vindhya said, thinking about Karthik.
 
"And his dimples make him look cuter," said Bhumi.
 
Samhith and Atharv fumed, listening to them.
 
"Why are you talking about him now?" Samhith asked, trying to control his jealousy.
 
"Actually, he proposed to me a month ago," Bhumi said, hiding her smirk.
 
"What?" Atharv shouted, grabbing everyone's attention around them.
 
He gave them an awkward smile and glared at Bhumi, who was controlling her laughter.
 
She pulled his cheeks and said, "You are so cute, Chubby cheeks."
 
"Aye! Stop doing that," Atharv said, swatting her hand.
 
Bhumi rolled her eyes at him. They sat there talking when Bhumi's phone started to buzz.

"Sh! Wait a minute. It's Thathayya," said Bhumi.

Phone Conversation:

"Hello, Thatha. How are you?" asked Bhumi.
 
"I'm fine, Kanna. How are you?" asked Nageshwar (Bhumi's grandfather).
 
"I'm good," said Bhumi.
 
"How is your work?" asked Nageshwar.
 
"It's going well. Actually, I came to Hyderabad to attend my friend's wedding," said Bhumi.
 
"Oh!" said Nageshwar.
 
"When are you coming to Visakhapatnam?" asked Bhumi.
 
Nageshwar sighed and said, "Soon. You know about your grandmother, right?"
 
Bhumi took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, Thatha. I can understand. Leave all that. Are you taking your medicines on time?"
