“Hi… You’re Abhi, right…? What are you doing here?” Pragya asked smiling.

It had been a really tiring day for her. She had been running out of time, from the very beginning of the day. Burning the oil whole night, Pragya ended up sleeping till 8! She had to be in college, to attend her seminar, by 8.30! ‘Oh shit!’ she cursed herself and had rushed into the washroom. She acted as fast as she could but only ended up being late by half an hour! But that didn’t seem a big problem, coz there was still time left for HER seminar. The real problem was that, she missed the material, right in her home! Running back and reaching clg again exhausted her, sucking all her energy! It was almost 2.30pm when the seminar session was over. Having lunch and running behind the professor and sitting in class were again a big headache. When she was finally done with all her works, it was 4! She couldn’t help but worry at her same everyday routine. After some time of chatting with her friends, Pragya walked out of the canteen. She saw someone unfamiliar, but still she had seen him somewhere…Oh! He is Abhi! We met before two weeks!
‘What is he doing here…looks like he is hiding from some one…let’s just ask him’ she thought and asked him pasting a smile in her face.

“Purab told me to pick Bulbul from college today” even before Abhi could let out a breath after his statement, Purab rushed his bike in front of him.
Pragya looked at Purab with a smile and stared back at Abhi.
“Vo… Vo… Hey Purab, you told me to pick and now what are you doing here?” Abhi spoke fastly and then made a puppy face to explain Purab. Purab understood immediately.
“Vo… that… hmm… Haan! My bike was in the mech. and now it is repaired. Why should I miss a chance of picking her? That’s why I came” Purab right away bluffed sth that came to his mind.

“Yeah… yeah…” Abhi nodded.
“Ok. Bye” Pragya moved away.
“Let… me drop… you” Abhi stammered.
“I have my own Scooty” Pragya made him look the other side.

Abhi got down from his bike and ran there. He rushed the Scooty and parked it aside.

“Hey… are you mad? You parked it in no-parking area…” Pragya said and started running towards it. But before she could cross the road, the cops tolled the vehicle and took it away!

“I am sure you had gone nuts today! Now how will I go home?” Pragya barked angrily.
“I will drop you” Abhi winked. Pragya could do nothing but smile. She knocked his head gently and sat behind him.

The moment she held grip of Abhi’s shoulder, he jerked. When she held his waist Abhi felt butterflies in his stomach!

“Who will bring my Scooty back?” Pragya questioned. While Abhi didn’t seem to respond, she slapped him again, on his shoulders.
“Evening” he said and Pragya made a weird face. Abhi realised that he was blabbering sth and told, “I will bring it by today evening”.
Pragya smiled and they rode off…

“What were you doing Abhi?” Purab was running his hand through his hairs. Setting it right, he looked at his image in his bike mirror. He was as usual handsome and his hair gel gave his hair the right look! He… sorry, they *Abhi also dears* were standing in front of the college gate, waiting for Nikhil.

“What was I doing?” Abhi did the same with his hairs.
“Oh my Abhi… what were you doing yesterday?” Purab asked finally looking at him.
“Hmm… got up… brushed… bathed…ate my breakfast…came to college… all the same man!” Abhi said with a sad face.

He-he…! Trying to fool me Abhi? I will come in your way
Purab grinned without Abhi’s notice!

“Ok… what breakfast did you eat yesterday?”
“……hmm… forget about my breakfast man… I don’t remember”
“When did you meet Pragya for the first time?”
“27th September…4.01 pm…Cafe Coffee Day!”
“How long has it been?”
“It’s been two weeks, three days, 16 hours, 7 minutes and two seconds” Abhi said as he saw his watch.
“You remember that alone?” Purab smiled while suddenly Abhi understood what Purab was asking about. He smiled sheepishly as he realised that Purab caught him red-handed.

“Oh… yesterday I went to pick Bulbul. But you came, so I picked Pragya instead” Abhi said trying to cover it.
“Vazhikku vandhiya? I very well know how you picked her” Purab laughed.

“Why are you laughing? After two weeks of deep thinking… I went to her college. After two days of watching… I decided to finally talk to her instead of simply ogling. And yesterday, when I was about to talk, she herself found me! I made a lie, coz I very well know you will be late after class but you… you very well came to pick Bulbul! And you like idiot would have bluffed everything” Abhi frowned.
“How will I know that you will use me? I didn’t tell you to pick Bulbul, did I? Anyways, why did you do that yesterday Mr?” Purab asked again.
“Even now you didn’t understand? I wanted to… to… talk to her. And yeah, yesterday, we exchanged numbers” Abhi showed his mobile and shook it like a toy. Purab smiled.

Two minutes later, Nikhil entered the college.
“Hey Nikhil came… we can go in now” Abhi dragged the boys in.

So, finally Hi guys… how are you all? Shocked to see this? At least my regular readers would have, I guess. So, I am on vacation!!! Diwali holidays!!! So, me kinda free this week, and yeah I thought to finish this story at least. I wish you all remember this. If not, do read this…

Abhi is a practical man, as he thinks he is. He has habit of being straight in everything and thus doesn’t even adjust in the matter of relationships, due to which his friends are angry on him. But once he meets Pragya, Bulbul’s (Purab’s GF) friend. That affected him a lot!
According to the story, it’s almost two weeks since Abhi met Pragya in the cafe. Just the moment he saw her, there was something new that he felt. He calls it an attraction! Purab very well spots how his friend’s face changed when he saw her, but does not confess it in front of him. After that meeting in cafe, Abhi had been deeply thinking about Pragya and nothing else. He had rejected two girls who proposed him *Ha…ponnunga propose panradhe periya vishayam! (Correct dhaane?)Adha ivaru reject vera panni irukkaru! * But in these things, his practical concept did not vanish. He tried to justify his eagerness towards Pragya in the name of attraction between opposite s*xes. Finally gathering courage, he started standing in front of Pragya’s college! Yesterday (acc to story) he tried talking to her… but Purab spoilt even that. But somehow he succeeds in getting her number! Purab who had been witnessing all this simply smiles as he understands. Abhi isn’t completely changed… but there is some change in him and Purab is very glad for it.

Hope this was more than enough. So…What will happen next? Any guesses? Do tell me how you think the story will proceed…
