Chapter 16: Sleepy....Not able to sleep...
"Hi good morning", said Hemanth as he woke up.
"Good morning. How was your sleep?", asked Kruthika, this is her first question after good morning wishes to everyone.
"Hmmm good. How was your work?", asked Hemanth who came to have a good of warm water.
"I was sleepy during my entire night at work. Had around 10 cups of coffee to drive away it", said Kruthika.
"Why you didn't sleep properly yesterday?", asked Hemanth.
"No Hemanth. It was hard for me to sleep yesterday, you know right what happened, I was thinking about useless things alot. I wasted one hour there and when I finally got my sleep Abhikshith came. I showed him the house and informed him about how we all are. Later I couldn't get sleep but somehow I managed to sleep and alarm rang"
"Why do you have to work like this? You know doing the night duty, cooking food, taking care of this house, teaching yoga for kids and additional to all these attending music lessons. Why don't you just do couple of those and chill at home watching some shows?"
"I like to be like this. Restless and being busy entire day"
"You know what? You are weird. Yes you are a weirdo"
"I know. After all I'm supposed to be like this once I would be married right. Cooking for family, working for family and you don't even have an option of writing any one of the job. I have to perform it"
"But you have plenty of time until you get engaged to someone. Because finding husband for you is not that easy. I don't want my friend to be with someone who's not your equal"
"What?"
"Yeah! Look at you, you know singing, playing violin, cooking delicious food as well as you earn better than us. We should find someone who knows all these things to be your equal", said Hemanth.
"Okay. But wait I can't belive that you spoke to me this long", said Kruthika with excitement.
"You know what? Even I'm talkative", said Hemanth
"Oh yeah. I've been here for like six to seven months, this is the first we are talking for more than one minute. So to sum up Yes you are talkative!", said Kruthika.
"It's not funny. I take some time to know the person. After I know them they'll know me", said Hemanth
"Okay. Breakfast is ready. Wake rest of them", said Kruthika."Is Abhikshith at home?"
"Wait. Let me see", said Hemanth.
Everyone came at the dining table to have their breakfast. Sudeep was sitting next to Kruthika and Sachin, Abhikshith sat next to Sachin and Hemanth, Anirudh sat next to Hemanth and Kruthika around the table.
"How did you lock the door yesterday?", asked Kruthika to Abhikshith who was sitting right infront of her.
"When you were sleeping I was looking around the home I found the key to door on the table. I thought it might be your copy of the key and went outside to get my copy of key. I took just twenty minutes", explained Abhikshith.
"You could have informed me about this right?", asked Kruthika
"But you were in hurry and later I got message from director to return to shooting. I didn't have any of yours phone number to inform", said Abhikshith
"You could have left a note right?"
"I forgot about it since I don't have that habit"
"It's okay. But next time please leave a note", said Kruthika and continued her breakfast. Everyone finished their breakfast and left for their work except Abhikshith.
"By the way, when did you return from work?", asked Kruthika when she was washing her plate near the basin.
"May be at 10", answered Abhikshith who was standing next to her, "But you were not in home. I looked for you"
"Yeah. I was at airport. I'm an Air Traffic Controller ATC for short", said Kruthika as she placed her plate and glass at drawer.
"Oh. So you do night duty? At what time you will return", and Abhikshith.
"I'll return at 6:30 in the morning. Okay bye. It's time for me to sleep", said Kruthika and went to her room.
Kruthika pulled ask the curtains to dim the room and tried to sleep. Since she had too many cups of coffee, she was unable to sleep. She came to the drawing room, to sleep on sofa, she thought it might be sure to change of place she was unable to sleep.
"Hey. What are you watching?", asked Kruthika as she came down holding the blanket.
"Nothing. Just web series. Are you not getting sleep?", asked Abhikshith turning off the TV.
"Yeah. I had too many cups of coffee to stay awake at work. And now I'm not getting sleep", said Kruthika as she sat on sofa next to him covering herself in the blanket.
"Then why did you have too mach coffee?"
"I was being very sleepy at work I was talking to this one pilot, he started to flirt with me saying your voice is sweet blah! blah! blah! I literally dozed off you know! Then Emily woke me up"
"Okay...", her didn't knew what to say he was just seeing her struggle to sleep.
"Why do you want to stay here?", asked Kruthika.
"Because hotels charge too much", said Abhikshith trying to find much more suitable answer.
"Even you earn too much. But the hotel do provide all the facilities right?", asked Kruthika.
"I'm getting the same facilities at much lower price per day. In addition I'm having such awesome roommates", said Abhikshith who was relieved that this answer went well.
"Yeah, but you won't be having much privacy. In this home at least anyone would be present at any time of the day. If you need privacy at night time guys will be here, if you need privacy at day time I'll be here", said Kruthika.
"It's okay. I lost my private life when I became a celebrity, at my every step media is behind me. So I can't have privacy any where", said Abhikshith as if he was prepared to questions.
"Be honest. HOTELS CHARGE TOO MUCH is not your genuine answer right. Be frank, I'm not from media Why do you want to stay here?", and Kruthika.
Abhishek stayed silent. He wanted to say that "I came here to stay with you because I'm insanely in love with you. What have you done to me? I wanted to understand you, know more about you, your family and propose you so I'm staying here. I could have done it many ways but I want you to feel the same as I feel about you."
