Chapter 20: Uncle or Hunk ?

Alisha's POV:

As soon as Nandani left, I received a message from Prem. Excited to see the pic, I opened the chat and burst into laughter at the ridiculous image he sent.

Despite the silliness, we exchanged some funny pickup lines, and I found myself enjoying.

But as dinner time approached and Nandani still hadn't returned, a twinge of concern crept in.

I was about to dial her number when the doorbell rang, and there she was, cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Eager to spill the beans, I see," I teased as she entered. She eagerly launched into her story.

"Who knows what good deeds I've done to deserve him," she joked, making me chuckle.

As she changed her clothes, she asked about the pic, and I showed it to her. We both laughed at its absurdity, but then Nandani's expression turned serious.

"Yh but why didn't he show you his face? Is he hiding something?" Nandani's concern was evident as she held my shoulders tightly.

"Nandu baby, you think a lot," I chuckled, trying to ease her worries. "It's just that he's not comfortable, that's it."

Her eyes widened in alarm. "What if he turned out to be an uncle? Don't talk to him," she pleaded, her grip tightening.

"Oo God, Nandu, he's not an uncle," I reassured her, gently prying her hands from my shoulders.

"He's just a guy who values his privacy."

"How do you know? He's not even revealing his face and..." Nandani began, but I interrupted her.

"Tell me one thing, if someone asked for my pic when we barely knew each other, should I send it?" I reasoned.

"No, of course not. Then why should he? Just because I'm a girl, I have a reason to be uncomfortable, but because he's a boy, he has no right to be uncomfortable?"

Nandani fell silent, contemplating my words. Finally, she sighed and said, "But bhyi..."

I interrupted her, sensing her lingering unease. "I know your concerns, but trust me, I'm getting good vibes from him,"

I assured her, meeting her gaze with sincerity. "For your solace, I'll call him tomorrow, okay? Then we'll get to know if he's an uncle or some hunk," I added, trying to lighten the mood.

A small chuckle escaped her lips at my attempt of humor, and with a nod of agreement, we finished our dinner and headed to bed, ready to face whatever the next day would bring.

*Next Day*

After a tiring day of classes, Nandani and I headed to the cafeteria for a much-needed break.

As we entered, Rohan's familiar face caught our attention, and he waved us over enthusiastically.

Nandani wasted no time in pulling me toward their table, where Rohan and Siddhart were already engaged in lively conversation.

"Hey, guys!" Rohan greeted us with a wide smile as we sat down.

"Hi!" Nandani chirped, her excitement evident.

"Hey," I replied, offering a smile as Siddhart nodded in greeting.

Nandani and Rohan immediately launched into animated chatter, discussing everything from their latest escapades to upcoming events.

Meanwhile, Siddhart and I delved into the details of our upcoming competition, exchanging ideas and strategies.

"It's going to be challenging, but I'm sure we'll do great," Siddhart remarked optimistically.

"Absolutely," I agreed, feeling a surge of determination. "We've got this."

we continued our discussion in the lively atmosphere of the cafeteria.

*In Evening *

Nandani and I returned to our dorm after classes, she reminded me about calling Prem.

Changing into comfortable clothes, we settled down together, and I messaged him, asking if we could do a voice call.

After a tense wait, we received a positive response, and my heart began to race.

As the call connected, nervousness crept over me, rendering me speechless when he greeted with a simple "hey."

His deep, smooth voice sent a cold shiver down my spine, and I exchanged a glance with Nandani, who seemed equally surprised by the unexpected allure of his voice.

With a silent gesture, she left the room, leaving me to continue the conversation with Prem.

Despite my initial nerves, I found myself drawn in by his voice, and as we conversed, I couldn't help but feel a growing sense of excitement and curiosity about the mysterious Mr. Shy.
