She was closing her eyes firmly and he could feel she was feeling uncomfortable.

Abhi still continued his handiwork by writing his name and the feeling now became ticklish to her.

"Stop it!" she shrieked.

Abhi dropped his brush and quickly stood up.

She quickly adjusted her saree such that her waist is covered and ran away from there.

The next few hours were dead silent between them whenever they walked pass each other.

Abhi looks apologetic at her when they were having dinner. He also noticed that she have changed back to salwar kameez. This made Abhi felt ashamed of his action.

He felt he need to apologise to her.

When the day was over, he followed her and said "I need to talk to you. Please...."

"Not today. I will talk to you tomorrow." She replied in a stern tone which made him feel upset.

Abhi "I am so sorry."

She never said anything and was heading in a different direction from her room.

Abhi "Your room is not there!"

"I am staying with my friend tonight."

Abhi again felt bad and she was walking ahead while he looked down.

"Meet me at the balcony later at 12 am.

Abhi looks up and asked" You never left?"

" Meet me at the balcony later!"

Abhi" 12 am?"

She nods her head as yes and he again apologised to her.

At 12 am, Abhi was already there at balcony when she came.

She looked up at the sky and he asked" Will you forgive me?"

She remains silent and he worries further.

"What mistake did you do that I need to forgive you?" she asked.

Abhi in shock "Wasn't it a mistake of what I did in the afternoon? I..."

"Nope. It was a moment of attraction that made you did like that."

Abhi "So you are not angry at me?"

"No!"

Again silence prevailed. The cool breeze made them feel relaxed and Abhi gained the confidence to say something.

He sighed in relief and said "OK then you go and sleep now. Tomorrow is the second last day and we need to do more work."

"Sure! But can I ask you something?"

Abhi "Hmm... Ya sure."

"Are you really innocent or acting to be innocent?"

Abhi "Huh?"

"No! I seriously think something is behind your innocence. Sometimes you talk as if you are really innocent. Sometimes you talk as if you are really matured!"

Abhi "Why are you talking like this now?"

"I have to ask this as I don't want to fall in love with a person with two extreme characteristics."
