Chapter 13

He wanted to tease her for a few minutes as she irritated him last night but Dhruv noticed tears in her eyes and melted.

"Ammu… Don't cry. No woman will get pregnant if she sleeps beside a man" Dhruv consoled her. 

" Really!" She asked him doubtfully.

" Hmmm…." 

" Then my granny lied to me?" She asked him with teary eyes.

He chuckled at her words and wiped her eyes. He looked at her face and informed her, " how can I know?"

" Stupid….granny...why did you lie?" She mumbled.

Again Dhruv laughed at her words.

His eyes checked her body shamelessly.  She was so close to him. He was looking at her without blinking his eyes. Suddenly, she noticed him gawking at her and covered her with comfy.

" Control yourself, Dhruv.." He said to himself in his mind.

Immediately, he stood up from the bed and searched for her overcoat. After finding it, he told her to wear it. Without looking at him, she took it. 

Dhruv understood that she was feeling uncomfortable with his presence so he left the room while informing her to get ready.

Amrutha sat on the bed thinking of why Dhruv brought her to his home instead of her home. At the same time, she heard Dhruv's mobile ringing sound. She saw the display picture of her brother and instantly attended the call. 

" Hello, Dhruv… Thanks for saving my sister last night. Is my sister okay? I reached home just now. I will come to pick her in thirty minutes" Arvind said.

" Bro...I am fine. What were you talking about? What happened to me last night?" She asked her brother curiously.

" Someone spiked your drink, so I told Dhruv to take care of you as if you come in that condition our father would be worried about you," Arvind informed her.

She listened to his words silently.

" Okay...I am coming to pick you in thirty minutes. Don't worry. " he added.

" Can you bring one pair of dresses for me to wear?" She asked him hesitantly.

" Okay, bye" he disconnected the call.

She closed her eyes to remember what happened to her last night but she could not recollect what happened even though she tried hard.

Slowly she stood up from the bed meanwhile Dhruv came with a cup of coffee. 

" I didn't brush my teeth…." She said in a low voice.

He gave a new brush to her to brush the teeth. She went to the bathroom and completed her work and came back to the room. She found Dhruv was standing carrying the cup in his hand.

" Thank you…" saying she sipped the coffee.

When she sipped the coffee and liked the taste of it. She enjoyed the taste and aroma of the coffee.

" Simply...  ..superb…." She praised looking at the cup.

" Thank you so much…." Dhruv smiled.

" You prepared it…." She asked with a surprise.

" Yeah…" he said.

" Then I have to come to your home whenever I want to taste your coffee. It's amazing…" She said.

" You are always welcome...beautiful" Dhruv smiled.

For a few minutes, there was a silence….

" Did I trouble you last night?" She asked him while breaking the silence in the room.

Dhruv remembered the kiss which they shared last night and how she slept cuddling him. He lost himself remembering about their closeness…

On noticing his silence, she said" if I made any mistake….I am sorry" with pleading eyes.

" No...no….no need to apologize to me. I enjoyed it" he replied.

She didn't understand the meaning of his words and looked at him skeptically.

" what do you mean?" She questioned.

" Nothing. I liked the other side of you" Dhruv said while smiling.

" Okay, I will be back after your brother comes. Meanwhile, take some rest." He escaped from her questionnaire as he won't want to make the situation awkward.

Amrutha noticed some change in his behavior and the way he was gawking her. She brushed her thoughts when she felt her body was aching so badly. 

She wanted to take a hot shower. Then she found a white bathrobe and went to take a bath. She came out taking a hot relaxing shower and noticed Dhruv sitting on the edge of the bed crossing her legs.

She was startled to see him in the room. 

The water was dripping down from her wet hair. Their eyes locked with each other. Dhruv was mesmerized by her beauty. She was looking so beautiful without any makeup for his eyes. He felt so happy finding her wearing his bathrobe.

They both were disturbed by the knocking sound of the door. She looked tense looking at the door. 

" I think your brother came…" saying he opened the door.

As he said, it was her brother, Arvind who came with a fresh pair of dresses. She smiled at her brother and took the bag from his hands.

" Okay, you change your dress. We wait outside" Arvind informed.

Arvind walked out of the room whereas Dhruv followed him looking at Ammu before closing the door. She felt weird when she found his eyes on her. Her heart racing fast. Then she locked the door and changed her dress.

She came out wearing a long sleeveless frock after a few minutes.

" Thanks for everything you did for me and my sister" Arvind hugged Dhruv.

" Okay, you people leave the house, before my mom came to know that your sister is in my home the whole night," Dhruv informed them.

" Okay….okay. Bye. " Arvind said and walked out holding Ammu's hand. 

Ammu titled his head back and smiled at Dhruv while waving her hand. But she had no knowledge that he took his heart along with her…..

On the same day in the college…..

 Midhuna was waiting for Amrutha in the classroom.  The class started yet Amrutha didn't come to college. So she started walking to meet Karthik to his classroom to know the reason why she didn't come and also she was not attending her call.

When she went to Karthik's block, she was awestruck to see Karthik talking with Adithya and his hand was injured.

She walked slowly towards them…
