Chapter 13

Akshavi's POV

I look at the paper in my hands as I clapped and saw Mausi turn to pass a look in my direction that resulted in a laughter from me. She looked severely displeasured by the notion of performing on the stage

I shook my head and Mausi scrunched her nose as mummy urged her up the stairs towards the stage and they all take positions. I clapped and hooted as they all took their positions and their starting pose 

"Akshavi" I heard my name being called from just behind me, my eyes narrowed as I recognized the voice at once. I sighed loudly making him aware that turning around to look at him was definitely displeasuring me

"Please, dance with me. I really need a partner for the performance and you being a grump is not going to help anyone" he said with a pleading look in his eyes and I narrowed mine turning to look at him properly with my hands folded in front of my chest

"Do you really think calling me a grump or annoying or blechhh will help your case in any sense. Like seriously?" I said clenching my jaw as I spoke through gritted teeth. He opened his mouth and closed it looking unable to form words at the earliest

"I meant grump as in cute, and I call you annoying because that is kind of our deal. We both annoy each other" he said with no hint of playfulness on his face as I blinked at him taking in his words into consideration for some unknown reason

"No, annoying me is kind of your deal only. And also you called me jaaneman, I am never going on the stage with you" I said in a rushed speech and squinted my eyes a little

(Jaaneman- Sweetheart)

"Jaaneman as in .... you know...... just .... it was a way of calling someone just really nice and beautiful and" he said putting a lot of thoughts into his words, looking completely lost after every word left his mouth and I nodded my head

"Uh huh. Shut up" I said nodding my head at first before fixing him with a look. He gulped a little before he took a deep breath and turned to glance at me 

"Please, come and dance with me. I assure you that I will listen to all of the cuss words you know. And I really wanted to do this performance for bhai and bhabhi" he said in a calm and genuinely pleading words and I tilted my lips a little 

"Fine. I will get on the stage with you but if you try to pull any stupid stunt, I won't think twice before stabbing my heel in your toe" I said in a dangerously threatening voice and a smile came on his face as he repeatedly nodded his head 

"Thankyou, Thankyou so much" he said and jumped excitedly opening his arms ready to hug me and I raised my eyebrows in his direction with shock. He stepped back taking in my expression as he scratched his neck a little

"Sorry, got a little too excited" he said looking here and there and I rolled my eyes as he skipped in his steps a little. I don't think he was passed as an adult ever, I seriously doubt that he behaves even younger than Saketh

"Aree" I said raising my hand in question as he ran in the opposite direction. He stopped in his track hearing my words as he turned and passed me a delighted look. My eyes took in his face as I shook my head and urged myself to ask the question I stopped him for 

"At least tell me the song first? or some steps? You said you prepared the performance" I said raising my eyebrow at him and saw a smirk take over his lips. I felt a knot in my stomach the longer I stared at the smirk on his face and knew nothing good was going to come out of it
