ABHIRA THE BROZILLA'S BRIDE

CH07 CONVERSATIONS...

He chuckled. “I had a factory visit today.”

“Is everything okay from the fire accident?” she asked, remembering the phone conversation he was on the day of the program.

“You remember?”

She nodded, smiling in response to the surprise in his tone.

“How is your dance practice coming along?”

He let out a laugh.

“Anisha almost caught me practicing one of the steps.”

“I doubt if she would ever expect you to dance. Her exact words were, don’t even bother asking my brother to dance, he won’t.”

“She was right about that. I don’t know how I ended up agreeing.”

“Because you want to surprise your sister.”

“Right.”

“Does Mrs. Sharma know you are practicing?”

“Was she supposed to?”

Akshara shook her head.

“It’s best if she doesn’t.”

“Especially since Kamala ma’am and my mom are best friends. They don’t keep secrets.”

“Oh, Mrs. Sharma is your mom’s friend and your teacher?”

“Yes.”

“It is very nice of her to work with you. It’s important to have someone you can trust in that role.”

“Absolutely.”

“So, do you know why I am needed at Neeraj’s boutique?”

He shrugged as he kept his eyes on the road.

“I have no idea who this Neeraj is, and I needed to get away from there, so I offered to be your ride.”

“Oh, that’s very nice of you.”

“What? Saving myself from the shopping drama?” He chuckled.

Akshara smiled.

“For being my ride. What was Anisha’s response to the outfits.”

“I have no idea. She has had our parents’ hostage since this morning, and I am not sure how long we would be at the boutique.”

“Don’t make it sound so bad.”

“You have no idea. There were racks of clothes she was supposed to try on and rolls of fabric all in the middle of the boutique and no other customers.”

“Anisha gets exclusive access. Neeraj will work with her until she finds the outfits she likes.”
