Chapter 6- Beginning of a love story
"Prabhas!?" She gasped in awe. The man of her dreams was standing right glued to her and she could sense his intoxicating existence all over.
"I know you are clueless right now...but I don't have much time you see..." He began, checking if he was found by the crazy mob.
"Here...a small gift from my side." He uttered as he placed the chocolate box in he palms.
She had her eyes and mouth wide open. She was indeed clueless about the happenings.
"I hope you won't block my number now..." He chuckled as he put his hood on. "Bye..." He whispered, leaving her with a great shock.

Anushka sat on her bed, staring at the huge box of chocolates. She still tried to recollect whatever she had heard but in vain. All she remembered was his super sweet smile and also, his cologne. It was worth remembering though...
She had locked her door to keep her nosy sister away from disturbing her thoughts and hence she heard the loud bangs on the door second after second.
Priya was finally given access by her sister and the immediate thing she did was hit her heard with the pillow.
But strangely, Anushka, who never missed a chance of pillow fighting, silently sat on the bed, without leaving a breath.
"Are you mad Sis!? What happened in the mall? Did you see some ghost or something!?" Priya casually questioned, trying to open the chocolate box.
"Don't touch it!" Anushka slapped her palm and saved it from being the victim of her sister.
"Someone special gifted it to me and I don't want to spoil it!"
Priya raised her brow. "That's the point. Someone gifted so you could have them. What's the use of storing these!?"
Anushka rolled her eyes as she took the box and cuddled it.
"I won't share..." She said like a baby.
Priya now confirmed that there was definitely something wrong with her sibling and decoded to find it out.
Anushka's phone vibrated and seeing the message notification, she immediately hid it, widening her eyes.
"Who's message was it?" Priya leaned the other side to see her phone. "No one... Absolutely no one!" Anushka gasped as she ran to the washroom along with her phone!
She gulped as she opened the message. It was him again!
"Hi! Liked the chocolates 😊?" He had asked.
She felt her fingers shiver while typing a reply.
"Um... No... My sister ate it all..!"
She slapped her head! The poor thing wasn't even allowed to touch them and she had lied so professionally!
"Woh! That was a big box! I'm sure she must have spared some..."
"Yeah..."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Sort of... I don't get to chat with celebrities all the time you see..." She was proud about her line. She felt there was a better confidence in that.
"Don't worry... You'll get used to..."
She jumped high reading his reply. What did he mean by 'used to' ?? Is he her boyfriend to keep texting her all day!?
"....yeah.... I hope so.... Bye!" She ended abruptly for she still wanted a little time to digest the shocks he was giving her day by day.
It was eleven when Anushka and Priya retired to their bed after dinner. Priya was all the time suspicious about her sister's strange behaviour.
Anushka carelessly threw the phone on the bed and thumped her head right on the pillow. She was too tired.
Priya did sleep but kept looking at Anu, wondering why she was acting so weird.
Anushka's phone vibrated. Priya was at a moment taken aback seeing the caller ID. "Darling" it read. She knew Anu wouldn't step into such matters without informing her. Then who was this Darling of hers?
She stealthily leaned over the sleeping beauty and picked the call.
"Still awake!?" She heard his chirpy voice.
She felt her heart go weak realising she was on phone with the superstar that too in the middle of the night.
"Anushka?" He voiced again, leaving sweat beads on her forehead.
"Akka is sleeping...Who's this?" She managed to mutter with great fear.
"Ohh... That's alright. I'll call her in to morning. By the way, consider me your future brother in law...."
She cut the call and looked back at her sister.
So that was the reason behind her behaviour today. She gently kissed her cheeks and whispered, "I'm very happy for you akka..."

Anushka opened her eyes to spot her annoying sibling on top of her tummy.
"You didn't tell you have a boyfriend!" She blasted.
Anu immediately closed her mouth shut and checked to see if anyone was eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Shhhh! Who told you I have one!?" She asked, widening her eyes.
"Who's Darling then?" Priya asked, removing her hand.
Anu knew she was caught. "Who's Darling?" She questioned back, fidgeting.
Priya gave a "I know it all" look and pointed at her phone. "He had called you yesterday night..."
Anushka was covered in sweat. She looked here and there.
But suddenly, Priya hugged her, making her fall in the process.
"I can't believe the superstar's after you!" She cried, still wrapping Anu in a hug.
Anu smiled. Her clever sister was good enough in discovering her little secret.

Anushka walked into the college, still replaying his sweet voice she had heard a few minutes before.
But surprisingly, Shweta hadn't turned up. She was worried.
She walked back home in the evening, humming her favorite song, of course, which had to be of Prabhas.
She had her snacks and Priya teased her all the time, but ensuring that her parents did not come to know of it.
She switched on the TV and slept on the couch, making herself comfortable for the time.
The doorbell rang and she lazily stretched her arms. Priya was studying upstairs, her mother was busy in the kitchen while her father was in the library. She frowned because she had to get up to open the door.
The door bell rang again and she walked in slow pace. On opening, she again felt a pang in her heart. Prabhas stood there, his hands folded and a sweet smile which adorned his ever handsome face.
