First Impressions

Chapter-16

'What if she caught me yesterday night itself? ' he thought 

There was another scenario running in his brain-

Saasha throwing pots, twigs and mud at him, he running around the garden to escape, but her targets were perfect. 
Tired of running and realising that he can't escape from her, he stood still staring at her.

She punched him on his chest and stomach continously for n times, he stood unaffected and still his gaze on her. 
She raised her head and found him smirking at her, she knitted her eyebrows and stared at him angrily. Slowly the anger on her face turned to a smile. 
He opened his arms, asking her to come into a hug.

He got a whack on his head from her instead of a hug, he opened his eyes to find everyone staring at him weirdly and Vikram giving him a "Not really!" look with hands on his waist. 

He looks at himself standing with open arms.

Vikram smacks him again. "Don't day-dream bro.Do you have any idea,what you were about to do?"

Ashmith is confused.

"You were about to hug her mom, thinking it's her"

Ashmith looks at Mrs.Patel,who is muttering something under her breath with a disgusted expression.

He then looks at Saasha and her sister, who are giggling.

"Bro, your girlfriend is behind you... Please spare my gorgeous Aunt" Amar speaks in between his laughs by joining his hand funnily

Ashmith raises his brows and turns his neck behind to see Vishali blushing.

He then again looks at Amar with a baby face and shooking his head in a no.

Vikram clears his throat "Hello mister.. Don't forget ... The girl you are insulting is my sister"

Ashmith looks at Vikram "Oh! Right!! From next time I'll keep in my mind that she is y'OUR sister"

Vikram glares at him.

They bids bye to everyone and leave.

The journey was very long for Ashmith as for the first time he felt lonely, not even interested in doing his work which was his only company in journeys. Even Vikram was busy in consoling Ashu.. who for the very first time is being away from her family and Vishali was as usual trying to flirt with him for which he plugged in his earphones with no songs in his phone to play, just to keep her away.

Ashu in between her tears looked at Ashmith who was scratching his neck, hesitatingly opening his WhatsApp... Typing something and then erasing it.

She smiled little and called him.

"Can you please reply to Saasha.. she is texting me and I can't reply to her now" she handed her phone to him. He was shocked

"Please Ashmith... She'll be worried" she looked with puppy eyes and he nodded with a plain expression.

He turned away from her and jumped slightly in his seat like a little kid whose wish was granted even before asking.

"Arey Ashu, look over there. Suddenly dark sky is covered with bright moon and twinkling stars" he showed in Ashmith's direction and his finger was moved towards window when the guy looked at him.

Both love birds giggled seeing him.
Ashmith ignored them and opened her message.

"I'm already missing you☹️"  it read
