chapter 58

YOU ARE THE RHYTHM OF MY HEART!Chapter 58 :Still half-dazed, Aadhya quickly wrapped herself in the towel before rushing into the bathroom to take a shower.Nandu let out a small sigh of relief before heading back to the kitchen. He prepared coffee for the three of them and walked into the living room, handing the cups to Akhil and Sruthi.Akhil wiggled his eyebrows at Nandu as he accepted the cup, making Nandu feel embarrassed. Sruthi, on the other hand, smirked mischievously and teased,“Don’t worry, brother, I didn’t hear anything”.Nandu groaned, slumping onto the couch. Placing his coffee cup on the table, he buried his face in his palms. “I didn’t know you guys would show up this early in the morning”, he grumbled.Akhil, placing his hand on his chest dramatically, gasped. “Brother! You’re accusing us of barging into your house? I never expected this betrayal!”, he exclaimed, turning toward Sruthi with an exaggerated expression.“Cherry! Come on, let’s go. Our brother is no longer our brother—he’s Aadu’s husband now”, he sulked, pretending to be heartbroken.Nandu playfully threw a hand towel at Akhil before bursting into laughter. Shaking his head, he teased,“You’re still the same drama queen”. With a smirk, he picked up his cup and took a slow sip of his coffee.“Hmmm!”, Shruthi hummed in appreciation as she took a sip of her coffee. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed,“Brother! You have some serious skills in making coffee”.Akhil nodded in agreement, taking a sip himself. “I have to admit, this is really good”, he added with a grin.Nandu chuckled at their remarks, shaking his head at his siblings’ shared enthusiasm. “Looks like I should start a coffee shop just for you two”, he joked, enjoying their cheerful banter.As Nandu was about to set the dining table for breakfast, Aadhya emerged from her bedroom, dressed in a high-neck top paired with palazzo pants. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a wide, warm smile graced her face as she approached Akhil and Shruthi.“Sorry! I overslept. You should have informed me earlier—I would have been ready with a variety of snacks for you”, Aadhya greeted them cheerfully before speaking her heart out.Akhil pulled her into a soft hug, chuckling. “We wanted to surprise you. Besides, if I had told you in advance, you would have turned the kitchen upside down trying to make different snacks. I didn't want to disturb your precious time with my brother”, he teased, his voice laced with mischief.Aadhya widened her eyes in playful indignation before playfully punching Akhil’s chest. Then, wrapping her arm around Shruthi, she smiled.“Hi, Shruthi! Come, let’s have breakfast”, she said, ushering them toward the dining table.Meanwhile, Nandu carefully arranged the plates and glasses of water as Aadhya brought a bowl of steaming idlis to serve them. After placing the idlis and chutney on their plates, she encouraged them to start eating.Just as they were about to take their first bite, a loud voice rang through the room, making them freeze and turn toward the source.“You little traitors! You left me alone and came here to have breakfast without me?”.-  *KRISH*
