WRAPPED WITH LOVE

Chapter 10

Arvind arrives and scolds his sister for being childish.
Karthik stops him and tells him that they are so hungry to be interrupted.

Abhi informed arvind everything. (About nithu's plan to meet harsha.)

abhi: bhayya, i left all my luggage at harsha's place. So i will stay there tonight.

Arvind glared at her.

Arvind: iski koyi zaroorat nahi hei. You seriously want to stay at someone elses' place though you have your brothers' ?

Abhi: waisa kuch nahi hein. Harsha is a very good person. And i thought if i stay here, your friend. . .

Before abhi could complete saying,karthik interrupted.

Karthik: abhinaya,you came here for a 4 day trip and zyaada wakth teri bhayi se bhitaana chaahti ho right?

abhi: hm yes.

Karthik: then stay here. As long as you are in hyderabad.

Abhi: ummm..okay . Karthik.

Karthik didnt say his name to abhi. He was thinking how she knew his name.

And abhi thought: god! He knew my name atleast. Afterall my brother keeps telephoning me now and then. He might have heard.

Arvind decided to go and fetch her luggage when nithu called her.

Nithu: abhi! ,Where are you? I will send harsha to pick you up.

abhi: actually nithu,my brother is insisting that i should stay here. So. . .

Nithu: Hate you Abhi.... So you are not coming right?

Abhi: Arey try to empathize nithu!

Nithu: ok fine. You want me to send your luggage?

Abhi: yar its ok. I can get them.

nithu: nope. I am sending harsha.

And nithu cut the phone.
Abhi knew that nithu was upset as she planned crazy nights to enjoy.

within 10 min harsha reached there.
Abhi asked him to come in.

Abhi: harsha, i would have come by myself . Tu pehle se bhi tired tha nah.

Harsha: abhi, as long as we are here, we will look after you. Got it?

arvind: thankyou harsha. This is arvind, abhi's brother.

Harsha: hi. Nice to meet you arvind.

Karthik: hi i am karthik.

He shook hands with harsha.

Harsha: so you are karthik!"!"!

Karthik: do i know you by any chance?

abhi glared at harsha. She was tensed and started biting her nails.

Harsha made the situation evenmore complex to her.

Harsha: nope. . Umm . . . . The thing is abhi loved. . . . .

Abhi: what? Harsha(shouted)

harsha: let me say it Abhi. Nothing wrong! The thing is , she loved that name (Karthik). Thats it.

Karthik stares at Abhi and she looks down.

harsha: Ok i will take your leave. Bye abhi.

Harsha left quickly to avoid abhi's scoldings.

arvind: abhi you go and freshen up. I will make some coffee for you.

Abhi: ok . But with extra sugar teekein?
