Please follow me on wattpad if you are liking my story ❤️

Target - 950-1k+ votes and Please comment ❤️

And Guys, this is not even 30% of the votes I am asking for , please Don't disappoint me.

And To be Honest, I didn't even felt like publishing this chapter and The excitement I had, Just died and you know what is more hurtful, that It took more than 8 hours for 50 votes ! When in the morning I saw 900 votes, I thought maybe in 2 hours it would be achieved, maybe even more than 50 votes but....What should I say. I don't think it's wrong on my part to ask for votes when I am consistent and Update when the target is completed.

And I even saw People voting and un voting !

Also, Abhi did knew that he has feelings for Amrita, but he didn't wanted to admit it to himself because he felt it's wrong. He admitted for the first time in front of someone but even before that, He knew...He has fallen.

Sometimes we know what's within us but we are scared to admit !

________________________________

Amrita has just completed giving an online test but her marks are not at all good. She sighed and picked up her phone only to get surprised.

2 missed calls from Abhimanyu and one Message.

She quickly opened the message and read it "When you get free can you please Call me?"

Her heartbeat rushed up, Shit, He wants to talk about what? Yes she knows she had been missing him but that doesn't change the fact that she likes him Alot !!

She can't ignore him also, so taking a deep breath she dialled his number. Her eyes closed and hand in a fist.

Abhimanyu startled as finally she called but he is also nervous to talk to her after so long. He picked it up before it could become missed call.

"Hello Sir?"

"Hi Amrita..umm How are you?" He scratch his head

"I am good Sir and you?" She asked nervously

"I am great Amrita"

They fell silent when he said "Umm I need your help actually" he curl his fist nervously

"My help?" She asked getting shocked

He smiled a little "Yes Amrita your help"

She scratch her head "Oh..um in?"

"You play Ukulele right?"

She nods "haan sir"

"Hmm so my Nephew, Sameer, he wants to buy one and I remember that you play it as well so...I thought of asking you"

"Umm I am not a professional, I doubt if I can help" She said Hesitantly

He immediately "You can Amrita I know" Not letting her say no in any way

She close her eyes as she felt tickles in her body "You can find a good one from a store, the shopkeeper helped me to buy it"

He tap his foot and start thinking "Amrita, I can't trust shopkeeper but I can trust my best Student. So will you Help me?" He touched the feet of the statue of God he is in front of, Praying that she says Yes !!

She doesn't say anything, as she doesn't know what to say, She is confused.

"Tomorrow can you come with me to an Instrument's shop? I would like if you could help me!" He closed his eyes and closed his finger for positive response cause after this it would feel forced and make her feel uncomfortable and he doesn't want that at aaallll !

Please say Yes Amrita. He prayed !

"2 minutes?? Please?" She bite her lips

"Yeah please, take your time" He said calmly

She quickly Text Baani and Mute The Call.

Amrita- Baani 😭😭 Help fast Fast fast

She bombard Her with messages.

Baani - what happened??

Amrita - Abhimanyu Sir needs my help in buying Ukulele in a shop with him tomorrow 😭😭 I don't know what to do, I am shaking in nervousness !!

Baani - Calm Down Bestie 😂 take a deep breath.

Amrita - he is on call ! Tell me fast, My mind is blank right now.

Baani - GO WITH HIM ! SPEND TIME, DON'T LET THIS TIME GO !! PLEASE, I BEG YOU 🥹

Amrita - but I embarrass myself in front of him 😭

Baani - So let it be, If he gets embarrassed because of that, then end your crush on him simple ! Now if you want to go and I know you want to go so say, YES !

Amrita Takes a Deep breath - Okay

Baani - 😁😁 All the best

Amrita unmute the call "Hello Sir?"

Abhimanyu gets up from his seat "will you be with me?" He asked and the way he asked, Made her feel ticklish.

"Yes !" She said in low voice

Abhimanyu hit his fist in the air and touch the feet of God Again  "Thank you, Thank you so much, When I should be there to pick you up? Are you free tomorrow? Sorry, whenever you are free we can go then..."

Amrita looks at her phone and pressed her lips together not believing if it is really Abhimanyu Sir, He is acting Different. Too Enthusiastic!

She smile a little "Sir I am free tomorrow and after 10 AM would be perfect time"

He grin "Okay, Umm You text me your address I will be there to pick you up" His happiness has no boundaries right now. The excitement he is feeling.

She bit her nail "I will text you sir"

"Perfect, Umm Thank you Amrita"

"No problem sir"  She played with the end of the bedsheet

Abhimanyu wanted to talk more but thought that he would look desperate and weird.

"Okay Then Amrita, we will Meet tomorrow"

"Sure Sir ! Good Night"

"Good Night Amrita"

As soon as he cuts the Call, Amrita takes a deep breath and Fall on her bed , placing her hand on her heart.

"If you are like this with just his call, then what will happen tomorrow when he will be with you my dear heart?" She asked to herself and shook her head with a Grin !!

________________

"Baani, but I look dull in this" She pout showing her the shirt on video call

"Okay, First take a deep breath Amrita!"  Said Baani

Taking a deep Breath Abhimanyu fall on the bed "Not even this shirt would look good"

Abhimanyu Calls Anirudh "Choose one colour" he said immediately as soon as he picked up the call

"Pink!" Said Anirudh Smirking

Abhimanyu Frown "Pink?"

"Light pink ! Girls find guys cute in it, Dhaarna told me" Anirudh said grinning

"They do?" Abhimanyu scratched his head

Anirudh laughed "Bro, Amrita will like you in any colour you wear ! Don't be so conscious"

"I...I am not that conscious" He lied

"Yeah sure !"

Abhimanyu roll his eyes "Okay bye !"

"Bye but don't over say anything, be the way you have been with her or else she will feel uncomfortable"

"Hmm okay !"

He takes out a Pink shirt and Iron it properly.

____________________

Abhimanyu has finally reached near the bus stop where Amrita told him, infact she is feeling as if she is doing a crime. She told her parents that a friend of her wants to buy Ukulele so she just going to accompany.

Amrita's phone start ringing, shit he came, She run towards the bus stop as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.

"Hello sir, just 2 minutes I will be there" She said while running not wanting him to wait.

"Umm Okay but...There is no hurry Amrita" He made her relax as he could hear her running.

"Okay sir just 2 minutes" She said catching her breath and still didn't stop running.

Abhimanyu parked the car at the side and stood out waiting for her in light pink shirt. He run his hand through his hair looking at himself in the mirror. Then he took out his phone and put it on silent, not wanting any disturbance.

Amrita stop and catch her breath when she spot him. Relax Amrita ! She takes a deep breath and with a small smile she walk towards the cute Man ! Yes he is looking super cute in that colour. Aaaahhhh After so many days she is looking at him, Trimmed beard, Sexy body, Proper hair but soo Cute !

Abhimanyu shove his phone in the pocket and found Amrita walking towards him. His heart flutters a little looking at her. She is wearing a red kurti with jeans, hair tied up in a plaits, resting on one side of her shoulder. He Really Missed Her.

He smiles as she came closer "umm Hello Amrita" He breathed out

"Hello Sir" She bit her lips and held her sling bags strap tightly.

"Let's Go?" He asked nervously and she bobs her head cutely.

Ahhh Her cuteness will kill me !! He thought in his mind and opened the door for her, of the front seat.

She blinked her eyes and controlled herself from blushing by biting her inner cheeks. She slide in the car and he closed it. As he walk towards the driving seat she smiled to herself and then composed her grin.

As he got in the car, they look at each other for a brief moment before looking away. They are SHY !

She is shivering internally and very nervous as well. He starts the drive and he breaks the silence between them "Aaa So, since when have you been learning Ukulele?"

She rub her arms "When I was in 5th, then till 8th I learned it, after that from youtube"

"Oh, that's nice" He showed his dimple smile, closing the AC noticing her shivering and she curled her hands in a fist looking at his dimple smile after so long.

"So you can play any song on it?" He asked frowning a little

"Umm I am not so good in it, but a little bit"

He glance at her once and look back at the road "My Nephew, Sameer but in family we call him Sam. So he was insisting that Mamu please buy me a Ukulele, A beautiful girl plays it, So even I want it"

She listen to him and smile "He sounds cute!"

Abhimanyu Chuckle "He is cute but more than that he is mischievous and Smart ! No one can beat him in that"

Amrita giggles

"My mother says even I was like him, Mischievous and too Naughty, My Dada ji used to run behind me as I used to scream when he used to sleep" He chuckled remembering the days

Amrita felt butterflies in her stomach, listening about himself and how cute yet mischievous he had been and the fact that he is sharing it with her.

"How were you as kid Amrita?" He asked suddenly

She took a deep breath recalling her childhood "I was like this only sir, quiet and calm, used to play outdoor with my cousin's but mostly I liked to dance in my room on bollywood song while my mother used to record my video's"

"You were not mischievous ?"

She giggled "Maa says I used to cry a lot when she used to go anywhere leaving me even for 5 minutes. Have been a very clingy kid !"

He looked at her with a sweet smile "Clingy is a wrong word ! Use attached to my parents"

She wants to melt, right there !! Plus looking at him in the pink shirt...oh God ! Cute, She never thought he would look this cute !

Abhimanyu Park the car near the instrument shop and step out.

He stood beside her and together they walk in the shop. A person working in the shop stride towards them "Good morning Sir, Good morning Mam, How can I help you?"

Amrita looks at Abhimanyu and then the guy.

"We want a Ukulele !" Abhimanyu Exclaimed and the Guy nodded "This way please"

They walk behind him and Amrita look around. The smell of wood is so nice and so is the best man beside her.

Abhimanyu takes one Ukulele in his hand "How is this Amrita?" He asked playing 2 string's

Amrita touch it and then she herself play the string "No Sir, Not this one" She said and picked up another one and held it properly, playing a tune.

She kept it back and picked another one. Abhimanyu kept looking at her this time having no worry of road or anything. Beautiful!

"This one ! This is nice" She said gently passing it to Abhimanyu

Abhimanyu blink his eyes fast and bought his focus back to the reality.

Abhimanyu Held it and Had a good look "hmm nice! Will buy this one"

Amrita Smiled as Abhimanyu gave the Ukulele to the store guy to pack it for the payment "We will have a look at other instruments as well" Said Abhimanyu wanting to spend more time with Amrita.

Amrita wanted to jump but she just nodded controlling herself.

They reached the piano and She curiously played few keys of it, making her smile.

"I always found flute more enchanting than Guitar you know" Said Abhimanyu observing her looking at the flute next.

He picked up one and placed it near his lips.

She smiled "Yes, It truly is and even the Sitar"

He chuckled as he couldn't play it "But playing it is out of my league"

Amrita cups her mouth and giggled ! Abhimanyu liked the way she always giggle, Cupping her mouth, It looks so...umm It suits her. He finds this action unknowingly beautiful and elegant.

"But you know what Amrita" He place his hand on his waist "playing one instrument can be of my league"

"Which one sir?" She asked curiously

"See...As I will be giving the Ukulele to Sam after 2-3 months, You can Teach me That" He said smiling showing his dimples

Her lips parted immediately in shock "M-me?"

He nodded "Yeah, I just saw how well you played it, when I will meet my Nephew, I will teach him then"

She gulp "S-sir" She giggled awkwardly "I can't! I...umm I have Entrance exam to give, it will be hectic and I can't teach you sir you...You are my professor and I...How can I" She said in panic

Abhimanyu stepped closer to her "Amrita Relax Relax, it's fine, Okay Calm down"

She bit her lips and looked down.

"I am sorry, I was just...Sorry" He said immediately not liking the way he made her uncomfortable.

She sighed "No sir, It's, I am sorry, I am just very worried about entrance, I don't know how to do everything"

"Do you want help?" He asked immediately making her look at him "I can help you, Online ! Through Video calls" He said with some hope

She smiled "That's very sweet of you sir but I will manage"

Abhimanyu Tap his feet and think "Umm, I have no Problem as actually, In fact I am Taking online classes of few students who are giving their entrance for B.Arch ! I can help you with the higher course, But only YOU !"

He added "YOU" in the end cause he knows very well that then she will ask Baani also to join ! He doesn't mind but, He wants to be with Amrita only.

She blink her eyes "Umm I..." She began to think looking around

"Take your time ! Waise I take fees but instead of paying me, You can Teach me Ukulele online while I help you with your entrance preparations" He suggested "Also we professors discussed that how difficult it is going to be this time, the entrance"

She listen to him carefully and lick her lips and Abhimanyu Carefully observe her expressions.

"Can I tell you by Tomorrow?" She asked having a thought bubbling

And He smiled "haan sure !"

They go to the counter for payment and then leave "So as I have bought this instrument I would like to give you a treat of anything you like"

"No sir, It's perfectly fine sir, Thank you"

He chuckle "I knew you would say this ! But Let me Buy you something please, I insist as you have helped me"

Amrita passed a small smile "But Sir"

"If it is uncomfortable for you, I will not buy Amrita. I understand" He said genuinely because the bond they share, anything very informal will be awkward

She bit her lips and slowly nodded "Umm, Okay sir, Anything you buy" She said looking at his smile fading

He smiled again showing his dimple.

Besides the instrument shop there is a pastry shop so they go there.

"Which pastry would you like to have? I will get it packed!" He said as She would be uncomfortable having pastry with him currently, once they both would be having a comfort and informality between them, then he will ask her out to have something together.

She looked at the tempting pastry but her eyes are falling on Butterscotch pastry !

"Butterscotch?" He asked looking at her gaze, asi remembering it is her favourite.

She nodded "Haan sir, butterscotch"

He buy two pastry, one butterscotch and chocolate and get them packed for her.

"Here!" He give the packet to her

"Thank you so much sir ! But these are two pastry"

He shrugged "and both are tasty for sure and it's as a thanks for helping me"

She smiled at him and looked at the Boxes before they left.

They got back in his car and the ride was a little silent when Amrita asked "Sir, umm if I take classes from you online, How much time will you teach Me?"

He internally smiled "umm 2 hour's! 7-9pm ! Or sometimes before that depending upon my college schedule"

"Oh...and Ukulele? When would you like to learn it?"

He raise his eyebrows at her "You will teach me?"

"I am not sure currently sir"

He nods "After I teach you, then maybe or on weekends for an hour or 2 ! It won't be hectic and daily thing for you then"

She nodded and soon her house came "Thank you so much Sir, I will text you if I am willing to learn"

"Sure Amrita and you can call Me " He smiled at her sweetly

She looked at him with soft eyes and Her Smile was Just as Affectionate as His !

Abhimanyu Is a Cunning Fella 🐒
