Anushka 😍😘🤩

Chapter 8

                    ************
Raju was still waiting somewhere around the palace gates for his dear friend, Anushka.

Just then, here she comes looking so gloomy and raged even though she looked superb in her royal_made Sari.

"Hei Anushka, I've been waiting all day for you."
Raju stated approaching her.

"Leave me alone Raju. I don't want to talk to you." She said bluntly and walked out on him heading straight home.

"Oh come on Anushka, I'm sorry."

"Really? Do you have any idea how it felt having to be exposed out there in that manner, huh?" She blasted out on him.

"Yeah, I know that and I'm very sorry. Please hear me out Anushka."

It seems like all Raju's words were now falling on deaf ears because Anushka wasn't listening to him at all.

All the way from Navada to Imagavish and finally to Anushka's home, Raju kept on apologizing but Anushka was too annoyed to listen.

Still no response from her from the door to the hall, then into the kitchen and finally into her bedroom.

"Anushka!"

"What Raju!?"

"I'm sorry, please forgive me.
Well I know it's all my fault.
If I hadn't talked you into going for that Royal Battle, you wouldn't have been exposed in that way.
I just want you to know that I'm truly sorry Anushka.
I'll take my leave now so that you can finally be at peace."

He said remorsefully and this time without feigning sadness.

He turned to leave when Anushka held his hand.

"Please don't go Raju. I'm sorry for putting blames on you when actually you do everything in my best interest.
Please forgive me buddy.
Come on, give me a smile.
I want my jovial, happy and funny Raju back okay..."

She stated with a grin.

Raju felt touched and burst into a hearty laughter as he hugged her warmly.

"It's enough with the tight hug, Raju. You are squeezing up my bones."

"Seriously, Anushka?"

"Yeah, oh I have alot to tell you buddy."

"Really? I'm all big and fat ears buddy."

They sat on the bed.

"Guess what, I'm sure I'll soon become a warrior of Ilabuhab officially!
You see, the king has asked me to come and see him tomorrow at the palace for his final decision.
Isn't that amazing!?"

"Oh wow that's so cool! Thanks to Lord K my buddy is going to be one of the greatest warriors ever in Ilabuhab!
I'm really gonna miss you when you are away."

Later that day, Definie came in angrily.

"Anushka!"

"Oh dear goddess Durga, I'm so dead."

A second call from her aunt made her heart skip a beat with fright as she walked slowly to her aunt's room.

"Aunt please I'm sorry for not telling you and Uncle about...."

"What are you talking about Anushka?"

"I... I'm....umm... I.."

"Look Anushka you are  wasting my time.
See I've got you some nice saris from Malika's shop.
They are so outstanding that I had to fight over them with a certain... I don't even know how to describe her."
