Kavin held her wrist to stop her this time. She can't keep running from him always.

"Purvi wait! I've to give you something" saying so he removed her bracelet from his pocket.

Seeing her favourite bracelet, her eyes shined with happiness.

She kept chanting thank you to him and finally asked where he found it.

He just smiled and replied "abc bar".

Hearing his reply she froze, she couldn't believe her ears. Even if he had a doubt earlier, she just confirmed it with her own mouth. She just wished the ground to swallow her right away.

She just kept looking down not daring to look into his eyes.

He held her chin and made her look into his eyes "Purvi! Just look at me. Are you the same girl who bumped into me that day?"

She tried to look back at her shoes but he held her in her place. She can't help but look into his eyes and give a slight nod.

"Is that why you keep getting nervous around me?" he asked softly.

She couldn't help but gulp.

"Look Purvi! The truth is no girl ever managed to get my attention like you did. Ever since that day I couldn't stop thinking about my mysterious bracelet girl. Or in Dushyant's language, my "Modern Cinderella!" He chuckled making her smile a bit too.

He continued "Even though, I didn't know you were the same person, I couldn't help but feel this attraction towards you Purvi! I don't know whether it's love or just infatuation but you seem to be occupying my mind a lot lately. I think I'm falling for you unknowingly. And you know what I hadn't even confessed this last part to myself yet" saying so he nervously chuckled making Purvi chuckle too.

She felt butterflies hearing his confesion. Though she's still nervous, she was strangely feeling comfortable around him.

Until now she didn't even realise when he managed to cage her between him and his car.

She looked at him in surprise. Realising the situation, Kavin backed away a bit.

"You know you don't need to say anything right now" She just nodded.

"Tum sach mein abhi kuch bhi nahi kahogi?" asked a nervous Kavin making Purvi chuckle lightly.

"How cute can he get?!", she thought.

"And hot too!", added her subconscious.

Clicking his fingers in front of her, he got her out of her trance. She cleared her throat. He raised his eyebrows at her but she just shook her head making him sigh.

"Ahm Purvi! Kya main tumse ek baat puchh sakta hoon?" asked Kavin nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

She just nodded encouraging him to go ahead.

"W-wo uss din tum apne kisi crush ke baare mein baat kar rahi thi, if you don't mind can you tell me his name? You see I should be aware about my competition", he asked chuckling nevously.

Purvi's cheeks turned into a darker shade of red. She nervously looked down. How was she supposed to tell him that it was him only. He was her crush!

Kavin was intently observing her. He wondered who was that idiot making her blush so much.

Feeling his gaze, Purvi looked up at him. He just raised his eyebrows.

"A-ahm w-wo m-main" She stuttered making him found her cuter but then he frowned thinking Is she stuttering because she's talking about her crush.
