A PRETENSE...

Chapter 32

#After a few months#

*Abhilash Pov*

"Mihi!" I whispered waking her up but she groaned and turned to sleep with her back towards me and I stood up sighing.

"You need to wake up, Mihi. We need to go on a trip today within an hour." I pointed out but she covered her ears to block my voice.

I already informed our friends to be at this place after two hours when she didn't pick my calls and when I called Aunty she informed me that Mihi is not at all waking up.

"Fine!" I mumbled laying down beside her before holding her in my arms.

"What are you doing?" she mumbled with a sleepy tone.

"You are not waking up and I will just be here and let's skip the trip." I explained and she turned around in my arms to frown at me.

"It's not good to skip the trip." She whispered and I sighed brushing away hair strands from her face.

"We already postponed the trip as you had something to do yesterday and even hid what it is near us. It is not good to keep them waiting, right? I already asked them to wait an hour more than the scheduled one." I pointed out and she sighed leaning closer to me before closing her eyes.

"I am tired, Abhi. I have been studying for a whole week without taking a break and even yesterday I had to write such a long exam." She mumbled pressing herself to my body.

"Are you ready to tell me what exam you took yesterday?" I asked rubbing her back and she sighed shaking her head.

"That is my secret and I will tell you after the trip as by then I will get results." She replied and I nodded while she drifted off into sleep again.

After some time I shifted to check the time and found her bag which she didn't even pack this time. I took out a few clothes I remember she wore during our last trip that is two years back.

"Do you want to travel without even taking a bath?" I asked returning from the washroom after filling the bucket with warm water.

"I want to go but I don't want to get up." She mumbled groaning while looking at me with those sad eyes.

"If you get ready, I will take you to the vehicle and you can sleep until we reach the resorts." I promised her while helping her to sit up and she finally did after hearing my words.

After she got ready, I took her bag and took hold of her hand before climbing down the stairs and found her parents finishing their breakfast.

"Take care of her, Abhi." Aunty said and I nodded at them and even assured them to not worry.

"I will take care of him, Aunty." She commented when we found Mom walking out of my house after seeing the vehicle.

"Thank you, Mihi!" Mom said smiling at her while I shook my head before helping her to sit inside the vehicle beside Rekha as Vikesh and she swapped places, unlike that time.

"She is still sleepy?" Rekha asked while helping her as she is literally moving like she doesn't know how to move.

"Yeah! Let her sleep for now and don't disturb her." I mumbled sitting beside her.

"What is the exam you took yesterday, Mihi? Will you tell us now?" Vikesh asked ignoring my words.

"Let her sleep!" I mumbled shifting her a bit so that she can place her head on my shoulder while holding her with my other hand.

"Yeah! Maybe then the result from last time will not reach us again. Let's not have any breakups, okay?" Kalyan asked looking at Rakesh and Kavitha who are as usual showing their couple moments.
