WRAPPED WITH LOVE

Chapter 6

In Abhi's room at night:
abhi: nithu dont you believe in me?

nithu was shocked by this question. She felt that something was wrong with her friend.

Nithu: i do believe in you abhi. But what made you ask so?

abhi: you were trying to figure out everything in the debate na. You know everything about me . Then why this yar?

nithu: i am sorry abhi. My intention was not that. I want to know if my friend found her prince charming. I remember you telling me that karthik was your favourite name. And yesterday you uttered that name. I thought you were hiding something from me abhi. Sorry yar. I always share my every issue with you coz you are my bff. And i thought i am the same for you. But i am wrong.

Abhi:  shut up nithu. No one can replace your place in me. You are my best friend. And will be my best friend throughout my life.

Nithu: then why didnt you tell me anything?

abhi: thats because even i am not sure about my feelings on karthik. I mean i saw him for the first time in the cafe. You know na , i dont believe in love at first sight. I didnt even talk to him. But i dont know why my heart is saying that he is the only one for me. I dont know about his views.I am not even sure if he has a girlfriend or not. I cant open up right?

nithu: abhi if you are destined to be his lady, he will definetly meet you again. Please wait till then . Ab yeh saari confusions chod aur sojao.
good night.

Abhi: good night.
Abhi was again left in the thoughts of karthik. .. .

morning:
abhi got ready and was trying to wake up nithu.
She heard someone knocking the door and went to see who. It was ishika, abhi's only enemy.

Ishika had always been jealous of abhi , her intelligence, her friends and now her opinions on life. Ishika had a boy friend,Arav.

Ishika: what do you think of your self? What the hell did you do to my arav?

abhi: me? Arav?

ishika: dont try to act smart abhinaya. He had been speaking about you since yesterday. Only you.

Abhi: what? But thats not my fault.

Ishika: it is completely your mistake abhinaya.  Had you not spoke about love and life in yesterdays debate,he would not have talked about you damn it!

abhi: what the hell! Its a debate afterall. Everyone took their own part and i took mine. Whats wrong in that?

ishika: if everyone was involved, then why all the students were talking only about you?

Ishika left abhi speechless. Abhi thought it was useless to explain the situation to ishika as she would never understand.
seeing nithu  getting ready, Abhi went to bring the breakfast. Ishika was irritated by her ignorance and left.

Arav is not the only one to talk about abhi. Her thoughts moved every boys' heart.

In the classroom:
varun: abhi saare boys thujpe fida ho gaye yar.

Rahul: ha abhi. Really. They had discussions on you till late in the night.

appu: ab hume koi ladka nahi dekhenga!

nithu: ha woh tho hei.

Abhi: stop it yar. Priya you are the only one who didnt say anything against me. Thank god. I have atleast one friend on my side.

Priya: par guys if we had seniors in our class yesterday, this so called fan following would have been increased. What do you say?

All the guys were laughing while abhi was glaring at them. She heard someone calling her and turned back. It was tej, her classmate. He never spoke to her before.
Tej: hi abhi. How are you doing?
You look beautiful.

abhi: hi tej. I am doing good. Thank you.

Tej: so what are your plans for this sunday?

abhi: plans? Ya actually we guys are planning for a movie.

Tej: great! Can i join you guys,if you dont mind?

abhi: hm. . . . ofcourse. Its ok. You can join us .

Tej: k see you there. Bye. By the way this chocolate is for you.

Abhi: thankyou. But,..

Tej: please take it. Kuch meetha ho jaye.

Abhi: well thanks. Bye.

Abhi knew that her friends will now tease her even more. She sat beside nithu . Her phone rang. It was her mom. She called to remind abhi that tomorrow is arvind's birthday.

Rahul: who is it?

abhi: woh mom thi. Called to remind me of bhayya's birthday.

Appu: not on phone babe. Whom are you talking to in the corridor?
Asked appu winking at everyone.
Abhi patted her forehead and thought "' omg! Not again' " . She however told them about tej and that he wanted to join them tomorrow for movie.

Precap: abhi gets karthik's mobile number. . . . . .Nithu sees him! . . . . .
