Teri Meri Kahani

7. The shocking interaction

MANSI'S POV:

I felt the pain in my neck which was making me very uncomfortable but at the same time there was light breeze tickling my face which felt comfortable yet not enough to let me continue my beauty sleep. I opened my eyes only to find myself below the try with the sky above it now showcasing the shades of yellows and oranges indicating its the time for sunset. I slightly turned my head to the side only to find Shantanu asleep as well with his head resting on mine while mine rested on his shoulder. He had wrapped his jacket around me and had his arm wrapped around me as well. This mere position was enough to leave me blushing. I again lifted my face to observe his. His eyes were closed but their shape was indeed attractive, they weren't siren shaped neither were they doe, a perfect combination. My sight went lower to his nose, he had a sharp, pointed and a high nose that people would die to have. Not to mention the tiny little mole on it adds to the charm. I slowly moved my finger and placed it on his mole slightly poking it to which he reacted my scrunching his nose a little. I giggled at his reaction. Cute. Then I kept tracing my fingers along his features and moved lower only

to arrive at his lips. I gulped. They were soft yet looked a bit rough at the same time. They weren't exactly pink, they were a mix of brown and pink and were of the perfect shape. I kept staring at his lips for too long and didn't know how the time passed. I felt him slowly shifting his body and I knew he was gonna wake up. OH GOD!

I closed my eyes and pretended that I was still asleep to save myself from the embarrassment and felt him moving again. Looks like he's finally awake. I felt him caressing my cheek and my heart beats fastened. I am doomed. There's no way I can ignore my feelings for Shantanu Sharma. I am very well and undeniably head over heels for him. Now that I think about it, I think these feelings were there since long back. It's just that I took a lot of time to realize my feelings. I could still feel his hand on my face and was trying to calm down my breathing which was far from normal. I felt a slight pat on my cheek followed by his sleepy, husky voice. God his voice! I was such an idiot to not notice that before!

SHANTANU: heyy panda wake up! It's getting late and we should leave for home now Everyone will get tensed if we get anymore late.

OK! I can do this! I can wake up and behave completely normal!

After giving my self an encouraging talk in my brain, I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him only to find him already looking at me with a huge grin on his face. Didn't I tell you his smile was infectious? hence, it brought a smile on my face too. I gave him a sweet smile and lifted my head off his shoulder. I could feel a slight pain in my neck which might be due to the uncomfortable position I was sleeping in. I stretched my neck and hands a little to get rid of the pain and heard him groaning from the back as well. I turned around to look at him and found him massaging his shoulder.

SHANTANU: No wonder tu itne acche marks laati hai. Itna bhaari sar hai tera, poora dimaag bhara hoga.

(No wonder you score so well. You're head is soo heavy, filled with lots of brain.)

MANSI: Tabhi mai sochu tere sar ke jagah tere ghutne bade kyu lagte hain. Lagta hai tera dimaag tere ghutno mei aagaya hai.

(No wonder your knees look huge and not your head. I think your brain has dropped to your knees.)

SHANTANU: Kya nalayak dost hai yaar tu! Ek toh maine itni mehnat se tera mood sahi kiya, upar se meri hi beizzati kare jaari hai.

(What an unbelievable friend you are! I worked so hard for the betterment of your mood and now you're insulting me wow!)

I laughed at his tantrums and shook my head.

SHANTANU: Itni mehnat agar kisi aur ladki pe karta toh patt bhi jaati.
