War Of Hearts| Abhira FF ✔️

[04] - Caught In Action

Muskan was waiting for her best friend to come out of the hitler's dungeon as she continued her nervous pacing. Her hands were occupied with carrying kachori and samosas that she bought for Akshara in case Dr. Abhimanyu ruins her day, and she knows very well how to cheer up her bestie.

"Muskan, why do you look so tensed? And where's Akshu?" Kairav approached Muskan as soon as he saw her as he was finding it hard to spot Akshara.

"Uh..Uh, she's with Dr. Abhimanyu." Muskan replied, and Kairav shook his head in disappointment.

"She did something again, didn't she?" Kairav asked as Muskan remained silent.

"What are you doing here? I mean- you don't usually pick her up." Muskan asked, trying to divert the situation.

"Actually, the driver had an emergency, so..." Kairav replied, and Muskan nodded in response.

"It's been long since you visited home. Why don't you join us for lunch today?" Kairav invited.

"Uh.. I.."

"God, why are always so nervous around me? I'm not that bad? Plus, you live in a hostel, I'm sure you're missing good food." Kairav said, and she smiled at him, giving her approval.

"Bhaiyya!!!!" They both heard an excited squeal and turned to look at a very excited Akshara.

"Looks like someone took the victory." Kairav commented, and Akshara nodded.

"You're right! You should've seen his face! He really thought I would apologize. He would never be able to make me say sorry to him." Akshara stated.

"Let's go home, kiddo. Your mountain girl is coming with us too." Kairav told her.

"Yess!! I'll tell you all tea once we reach home." Akshara said to Muskan.

"You were right, sir. Someone intentionally punctured your car earlier this morning." The guard informed Abhimanyu.

"Show me the recordings." Abhimanyu ordered.

The guard quickly brought the laptop out of his office and started the recording of 6:30 a.m.

"Here it is, sir." The guard handed over the laptop to Abhimanyu as he watched keenly.

His eyes shot wide open when he saw Akshara along with another girl sneaking into the parking area. Before taking her bag off, she quickly hid her face with the hoodie, but it was too late as she had already gotten caught by the camera.

Abhimanyu silently laughed at her stupidity as he continued watching her puncturing his tyre while her sister was looking here and there nervously. He saw her jump in excitement after successfully achieving her plan, and he couldn't help but admire her cuteness.

"Sir, why are you smiling? Aren't you angry at what she did?" The guard asked, and Abhimanyu quickly wiped the smile off his face and regained his composure.

"Uhh.. forward this recording on my USB, and do remind me to take it with me tomorrow." He ordered, and the guard nodded in response.

"Ms. Akshara Goenka, get ready to apologize." Abhimanyu smiled to himself as he shook his head before going inside the house.

"Akshu, are you mad? Why would you show him this much attitude? He's our sir!" Muskan said.

"So what? He's not even that older than us. Plus, he was wrong. Why should I apologize?" Akshara said as she took a bite of an apple.

"Yes, you were right about those girls, but what about puncturing his car? You should've said sorry for that." Muskan told her, and Akshara frowned at her.

"Musk, there's no chance in hell that he can know I punctured his car, so why would I apologize beforehand? Just chill, okay?"

"He belongs to Dr.Mahima's family. He will know eventually! Mark my words." Muskan said, and Akshara was now feeling slightly tensed.

"You're such a mood spoiler, Muskan. Let's go annoy kairav bhaiyya." She said mischievously, and Muskan rolled her eyes at her.

The next morning.

"But sir, why are we giving statins here instead of antithrombolytics?" Muskan asked Abhimanyu as he was discussing a stroke case with the whole class.

"Muskan, as mentioned in the case, the patient is already taking aspirin so there's no need of any other antithrombolytic and as for statins it is necessary to give since our patient has hypertension and needs to control cholesterol." Abhimanyu explained it to her, and Muskan smiled at how politely he solved her query, unlike Dr. Mahima.

"But I don't think we should give the patient antiulcers as well." Akshara pointed out, and Abhimanyu looked at her.

"And why is that?" He asked.

"Because our other medications aren't of that much dosage level." She replied, and Abhimanyu smiled at her intelligence as he had deliberately made an error in the case to test the students.

"You're right, Akshara. Good work!" He said with a smile, and Akshara couldn't help but feel proud of herself.

"Alright class thats it for today, but before we can conclude the class, I wanna show you guys something." Abhimanyu said and turned on the projector. He connected it with his laptop, and the cctv footage from yesterday morning started playing.

Akshara's eyes grew wide at the scene in front of her. She moved her gaze towards Abhimanyu, who was looking at her with a smirk. She tightly closed her eyes in embarrassment as the whole class started whispering about her.

The footage finally came to an end after two minutes, and Abhimanyu ordered everyone to leave the class. Muskan also quietly went outside whereas Akshara was still sitting there with her eyes tightly closed and her hands tightly clutched in a fist in anxiousness.

"You can open your eyes now, Akshara." Abhimanyu whispered. Akshara opened her eyes only to find Abhimanyu standing in front of her as he bent down to whisper in her ear. She could easily inhale the scent of his mouthwash due to his face being so close to hers.

"It's time for another meeting in my office, Akshara." A shiver ran down her spine as his hot fanning breath reached her face. She again closed her eyes, not being able to handle their closeness. When she opened it after a few seconds, she found him gone as she was now missing the warmth that she was engulfed in a few seconds ago.
