Meanwhile, Lasya tries to be normal, like nothing happened. But she was losing it slowly as her lungs were pacing to meet up with the heart speed.

It was beating erratically and she let out a huge long sigh, that she was holding till now. She placed her hand above her chest to ease the tension that was raised in her system.

"Yeah, I am coming. Yes, I know... Okay... Nope.. wait for me and yes I will get her."

Lasya could hear him say over the phone and she looked around to find a way to escape from there. But to no avail, she was still in his clutch! Cause his one arm was still over her shoulder.

Shravas hung up the call after a few minutes and turned to look at his love who was now looking ways to escape.

He was chuckling mentally seeing her cute antics...but not to look like a comic, he maintained a straight face and continued telling what he was meant to say.

"So just remember what I said. Please keep a distance from Venkat and always be happy Lasya", he caressed her cheeks once again making her eyes closed with the new feeling that was erupting in her stomach.

Without waiting for her reply, he went away leaving her, alone in the book aisle who was panting heavily due to the anxiety and to the fact, that she didn't understand why she felt their proximity too good for her own good.

Along with the good, her mind was in a pool of doubts and unanswered questions. She felt happy that he cared for her.

"He likes me since the beginning and that's why he flirted with me during Tina's marriage and later he was always seen wherever I was there. Was he following me?", She asked herself and she shakes her head to remove such thoughts invading from her mind.

Later she concentrated on finding the book she is in search of, for the academic syllabus.

Since that day, Shravas kept a huge distance and he never crossed her path. But always admire her from afar and made sure Venkat is busy with some of the other work.

Lasya also couldn't stop thinking about Shravas. Somewhere she liked his caring nature and his looks - that intense looks he gives whenever they are having an eye lock. She knows it's not difficult to fall for such a guy who is very fond of his loved ones.

'You are indeed lucky that someone like, Shravas likes you.', her heart said.

'But it's just the like, don't take it to the heart La, I tell you', her mind warned her.

Feeling irritated, she removed those thoughts from her system cause she knows, like and love is two different things and it's the last thing Shravas will do to be in love with her.

Little did she know, what he was actually feeling for.

'But he doesn't have any girlfriend even though there are lots of girls who just seem to be around him and wanting to seek his attention. He doesn't give any damn!', her heart remarked out of the blue.
