WRAPPED WITH LOVE

chapter 34

As soon as they enter the house, Virat runs to Karthik and hugs him.

He whispers " Did you propose?"

Karthik looks down and says:" May be tomorrow!"

Virat understands that something went fishy. He notices Abhi coming in.

Virat: Abhi, see I am all right now!

Abhi smiles.

Karthik: virat, did you eat?

Virat: No, it's you who has to cook!

Abhi: why? Don't you know how to cook?

Virat: Fortunately, no Abhi. Do you?

She looks at Karthik and says "ummmm a bit".

Abhi: Okay, I will leave now. Have to attend classes tomorrow....

Karthik: I will accompany you.

Abhi: no .It's okay. How will you return? I can go by myself. Bye virat.

She waved to virat and walked towards the portico. Karthik walked beside her.

Karthik: Abhi, Rahul is alright now. But just talk to him once. He might feel much better.

Abhi: sure. Good night.

Karthik: Call me after reaching.

Abhi: okay.

She drove off....

Abhi's home:

Abhi parks the car and goes in. Cha San comes to her and asks
" Where have you been all the day? Why do you look so sad?"

Abhi explains her about Rahul's situation.

Cha San: Because karthik consoled him, you don't need to worry about that!!

Abhi: You trust him that much?

Cha San: I do. As much as I trust you.

Abhi: This is not fair! You know me for months. But, you saw karthik only a day back. How can you trust him on par with me?

Cha San: I have many reasons.  Leave it!

Abhi: What's wrong?

Cha San: I thought you were my best friend and will be my bestie forever! But, you concealed many things from me.

Abhi: Cha San! That's not the case. I....

Cha San: Whatever the situation is! Why didn't you tell me that you love Karthik?

Abhi: Yes I love him. But he doesn't Cha San. So, what difference does it make? He loves some other girl.

Cha San: Abhi, do you have any idea what you are saying? You once said
' it's better to marry the person who loves you rather than the one whom you love!'

Abhi: I didn't get you.

Cha San: Abhi, I don't know if karthik loves you or not. I just wish he doesn't!

Abhi: What?? Why?

Cha San: what about your secret admirer? He crossed seas to see to it that you are safe and happy. He saved your future Abhi. Do you understand? How can you ignore him just like that?

Abhi: Sorry. But, because karthik was the only person I fell for, I wanted him to be my forever no matter what!

Cha San: That's so mean Abhi. How can you say that? You are not even considering the person who has always been behind you. He is the reason , you are living happily here. He cares for you. He stands for you. He believes in you. He loves you Abhi. Your better half should be a unique one. It's not good to have choices Abhi. I hope you​ understand...
