WRAPPED WITH LOVE

Chapter 14

Tej leaves Abhi when he felt a strong punch on his head.Before he could realise who that was, he fell on the floor unconsciously.

Yes, it was karthik.

Abhi runs to Karthik and hugs him with fear. He however consoles her saying 'its ok abhi'

Karthik realises that he is very angry with abhi for not listening to him. He pushes her away and when she is about to fall, he holds her ..with his hands around her waist! Abhi looks down.

Abhi: sorry karthik...

Karthik was so angry that he looked at abhi and folded his fist.

Abhi notices and stands silent. He starts moving away. Seeing him leaving,she follows him.

Karthik got in his car without waiting for abhi. She arrived slowly and sat beside him calmly.They didnt converse about anything during the drive. Abhi could notice karthik's anger and was very afraid to utter a word. But she boosted up all her courage to apologise karthik for disobeying him.

Abhi in a lower tone: i am sorry karthik . Please forgive me. I should not have done this.

Karthik stops the car.

Karthik (shouting): should not have done what damnit!! I warned you not to meet him . You never listen to anyone. He is a total fraud. He is the one who arranged thugs at the theatre and at the ice cream parlour too. He is tricking on you. He is such an ass***

Abhi started sobbing hearing to his words.
Abhi thought: if you knew about all these, why didnt you tell me idiot? I would have believed you and all this would not have happened. Its all because of you and now you are shouting at me like a dog . Such a nasty boy you are! I hate you.

Karthik saw her sobbing and all his anger vanished. He moved close to her and put his hand on her shoulders. She pushed his hands away. This irritated karthik. He got down the car , opened the door and pulled abhi out holding her hand firmly. Abhi felt the pain which was clearly depicted in her eyes. Karthik stared into her eyes and felt sorry for her.
He wiped her tears and placed both his hands on her cheeks. She lifted her head to look into his eyes.

Karthik: what is it abhi?

Abhi: why didnt you tell me if you knew everything?What would have happened if you came late?

Karthik : i will never be late to rescue you abhi. As long as i am with you, nothing bad happens to you. And how will i think you'll believe me if i told you all these ?

Abhi was very happy listening to him say this. But was still mad at him for not telling the truth.

Abhi: I trust you karthik. Truly. I do believe in you.

Karthik: abhi, can i ask you one thing?

Abhi: hah. Puch lo.

Karthik: Do you love him?

Abhi: love who karthik? Are you out of mind? Not even in my dreams i thought of him in that way. But, what makes you ask so?

karthik: no actually i thought, you went to meet him because you . .

Abhi: shut up karthik! I dont have place in my heart for such fools. I went because i wanted to end this.

karthik: so you ended it?
Asked karthik smiling.

Abhi: karthik. . .

Karthik: abhi. . . . .

And they bursted into laughter. It was about to rain and they got into the car. Karthik started playing music and abhi enjoyed it. She kept looking at him time to time.
