chapter 67

                                    

                                          

Manjari: Akshu. Beta, this is wrong. You should've called him Kadhoos Donkey. She said it seriously, then smiled.
 
Abhimanyu: Exac...wait what? Maaa, how are you taking her side? 
 
Manjari: Because she is my daughter. And are you going to stay like this or get ready? 
Abhimanyu: Nobody in this house belongs to me. I'm going to take a bath. He said with a grief expression.
 
Manjari and Akshu watched him go and laughed out loud. 
 
Manjari: Chal, I'll see you down in a while, she said, to which Akshara nodded and returned to combing her hair, while Manajri headed down.
 
After 20 minutes in the shower, Abhimanyu dried his hair and looked around the room, but there was no trace of Akshara or Manjari. Walking into the closet with just his work trousers, he picked out a shirt and was about to close it when he noticed Akshara walk in.
Both came to an abrupt halt as they glanced at each other. Abhimanyu noticed a sly smirk form on Akshara's face, causing him to close the wardrobe a little louder.
As she approached the charging port, she grabbed her phone and tried not to giggle.
She turned around to find Abhi wearing his shirt and cleared her throat, waiting for his reply. Abhimanyu gazed at her for a second and started to button up his shirt, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Akshara: Someone still seems grumpy. I thought I'd spend my last morning with Kadhoos Birla before leaving but seems like thqt won't be possible. She spoke dramatically.
As she walked past, Abhimanyu grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall. He rested one hand above her head and placed the other on his hips.
Abhimanyu: What exactly do you mean by that? He asked, looking at her carefully.
Akshara gazed at their proximity, but her gaze was drawn to his bare chest for a few seconds, as he had only buttoned up the bottom two buttons. She could feel her cheeks turning red as she gazed back at Abhimanyu, not wanting to be distracted.
Akshara: The dates will be finalised today, Abhi.
Abhimanyu: So? Only the dates will be finalised. It has nothing to do with you not returning.
 Akshara: Mere Budhu Birla, did you forget that Sirat ma said once the dates are finalised, you will have to let me stay at the Goenka Mansion?
 Abhi's expression became less serious. He withdrew his hand away from the wall and his hip.
Akshara: I hoped to spend some time with you before you dropped me off at the Goenka Mansion, but you choose to stay grumpy. She stated playfully and was going to walk away when Abhimanyu pulled her back.
Abhimanyu: By reminding me of this breaking news, you are leaving. Yaar Akshu, how shall I stay without you? He said this while making many different kinds of sorrowful faces.
Akshara controlled her laugh. 
Akshara: Well, you wanted to remarry, therefore we have to do everything correctly.
Abhimanyu: Haaan, as if you didn't agree to marry again.
Akshara: Haan, but I'm fine with staying away for a while, she added, buttoning his shirt with a smile.
Abhimanyu: I kept you away for a long time, Akshu. But now it's difficult.
Akshara: We will still meet na.
Abhimanyu: We certainly will. I will not give up any chance to meet you.
Akshara: Don't be so sweet; I still want my bestfriend Abhimanyu, who can be annoying at times, and I can annoy him too.
Abhimanyu: Is that so, chatterbox? He said and messed up her hair by bringing it in front of her face.
Akshara: Abhimanyu Birlaaaa! she said, adjusting her hair as she glared at him.
