First Impressions

Chapter-28

Sasha was sleeping on her bed and opened her eyes to see Ashmith smiling at her, her eyes widened seeing him on her bed...., beside her. She jumped out of the bed with a shriek.
Ashu jerked up from her sleep and ran towards Sasha

“Sasha, what happened?” worry was visible in her voice.

“Ashu.. Ashm….slee… Be...” she pointed towards their bed by closing her eyes

“Baby, what’s there?” Ashu found nothing or say no one on her bed

Sasha slowly opened her eyes realising Ashu was right. It was only Ashu and her in the room, there is no way for Ashmith to enter their room. 'But he was there' she thought to herself, 'You were just imagining him' her brain snapped at her.

Ashu was observing the change of expressions on her face, “What are you thinking so much?”

Sasha looked at her sister “Nothing….” She shooks her head “Nothing..” she smiled weirdly and turned away.

Ashu was stunned seeing Sasha's weird behaviour.

Sasha went to a window and slowly hit her forehead with her hand, 'Sasha now you started day dreaming about him… but why? This never happened before to me' she kept a thoughtful face looking at no where in particular.

“Sasha….” Ashu called her while drying her hair, “Stop lazing around and get ready, we'll go for breakfast” Sasha looked at her and nodded.

She starts thinking about the previous night while taking her clothes and dazes off.
Ashu stands beside her to see if Sasha can realise her sister’s presence, but no, madam was still lost in her thoughts. After a minute Ashu slaps on Sasha’s hand.

“Did you fall in love?” Ashu raises her brow

“WHAT?” Sasha suddenly gets excited about the thought of love, “No… no… never”

“I was just joking baby” Ashu winks at her and throws the towel on her face “Go and get ready fast”

Sasha goes to washroom and hangs her towel 'Love? Me and Ashmith?’ she shooks her head, “How is it possible? No way… he'll never love me” then she remembers her first day in Bangalore- Valentine’s day and their moments together, the way he looked at her 'May be it’s possible' She starts blushing slowly, 'Don't be stupid Sasha, he must be just attracted towards you like you  now' she waives off the thought.

After few minutes,
“Sasha, did you sleep in the washroom too? What took you so long?” Ashu asked her while drying Sasha's hair.

Sasha keeps annoyed face, Ashu hits her slowly on her head.

"Ahhh..." Sasha winces

“Lets go and have breakfast” Ashu says while going to the door

Sasha was about to go when she heard the opposite door open, she stopped in her tracks 'It's better to avoid him for now'

“Ashu, I’m not hungry. You go and have breakfast” she says the opposite of what she's feeling.

“Are you sure?” Ashu asked confusingly as she know her sister will be very hungry in the morning

“Yes” she nods

Ashu nods and leaves, Sasha looks outside but finds only Vikram coming out of the room and greeting Ashu.

She waits for few minutes while peeking at the opposite door, but there was no hint of Ashmith.
