Marrying Miss. Insecure

Chapter - 57

"Good morning, Anyu!",she wished him and he looked at her in surprise.

"Ahh, I can't with you Ammu", he said as his ears started turning red.

"Why Anyu? What happened?",she asked him looking at him with the most innocent eyes.

"How? How did you even think of this name for me?",Abhimanyu asked trying hard not to let his smile reach his ears which might make him look like a creepy psycho is what he thinks.

"Is it not good? Don't you like it?",Ekantha asked with disappointment clearly visible in her eyes trying to mask her emotions was an utter failure.

"Which idiot in his right sense wouldn't like such a great nickname? I loved it, everytime you call me that I feel butterflies no whole entire zoo in my stomach",Abhimanyu said trying not to kick his legs in air while trying to sound sane.

"You don't have any problem with me calling you like that, right? I just thought of that name last night and just..",Abhimanyu cut her off as she was speaking.

"I don't have any problem, Ammu! All good and you have the talent of keeping nicknames. Trust me with it",he said to which Ekantha just smiled.

"Shall we start now?",she asked to which he nodded.

They got into the car and settled down in their respective seats. As they started their journey, Ekantha switched on the radio.

"Just so that you won't fall asleep. Do you want to connect to your Spotify or mine, Anyu?",she asked.

"Mine or yours doesn't matter, Ammu! Anything works",he said and she connected her playlist. A middle age telugu song was playing.

Sasivadane sasivadane swara neelambari neevaa..

"Wow, what a start!",he exclaimed as he heard the music start.

Both of them enjoyed the music for a while and it was getting boring after a while.

He needed to divert his attention to something else or else he would doze off for sure.

"Ammu, can you please talk something? I feel sleepy!",he said with a puppy face.

"Uh oh, is my playlist boring? Shall I connect yours?",she asked.

"No, no! Similar songs are on my playlist as well. I just feel like I will doze off if I continue to listen to more of it",he said.

"Do you want to stop for a while and have your breakfast?",she asked.

"No, I don't really feel hungry. Are you hungry?",he asked and she nodded.

"Alright, there are some snacks in that bag in the behind seats. You have it, and also give me some in between",Abhi said and she looked at him wide eyed.

Stealing quick glances at her, he chuckled.

"I was just pulling your leg. You have it, I told you I am not hungry already",he said giving her a small smile while continuing to focus on the road.

"Are you sure? I mean-",she tried to reason but got cut by him.

"I heard that if you're with someone special, even boring roads feel like adventure trails and you feel completely full like you had a feast even though you didn't really",he completed, glancing at her for a second before fixing his gaze back on the road.

Ekantha felt her heart skip a beat, something about the moment made her cheeks warm.

She grabbed the box and opened it to find some cookies.
