Bab 17: Chapter 17: "Bonds Strengthened"
At pool side
After everyone rushed to Anupriya to show their concern, she found herself surrounded by a sea of worried faces. Karthik, Abhinav and Ayesha had gathered around her, each expressing their relief that she was safe.
Ayesha: "Are you okay, Anu? We were so scared!"
Anupriya, still a bit shaken, managed a reassuring smile.
Anupriya: "I'm fine, really. It was just a small accident."
Karthik: "But you could've drowned! We were terrified!"
Abhinav, his concern evident, chimed in.
Abhinav: "Yeah, we were really worried about you."
Ayesha held Anupriya's hand and said, "Thank goodness Abhimanyu was there to save you."
Anupriya nodded gratefully. "Yes, he was a lifesaver."
As the initial shock began to fade, they all breathed sighs of relief, realizing the severity of the situation that Anupriya had narrowly escaped.
Karthik: "Anu, are you sure you're okay?"
Anupriya nodded once more, her confidence returning.
Anupriya: "I'm perfectly fine now. Thanks to Abhimanyu and all of you."
Abhinav: "Anu, we're family. I'd do anything for you."
This statement warmed Anupriya's heart, and she felt a deep sense of connection with her brother. The incident had brought them even closer, and their bond had undoubtedly strengthened.
Ayesha, always the planner, suggested, "Let's not let this dampen our spirits. We're here to have a good time, so let's continue to enjoy ourselves."
With collective agreement, they decided to move on from the incident and make the most of their time at the villa. They realized that life was too short to dwell on near misses, and they were determined to cherish every moment together.
After the group decided to continue their stay at the villa, Anupriya felt a sense of gratitude that she couldn't ignore. She decided to change into dry clothes and calm her nerves before taking a deep breath and heading to Abhimanyu's room to express her thanks.
After the incident at the pool, Anupriya found herself standing at Abhimanyu's door, hesitant to express her gratitude. When he opened the door, there was a glimmer of arrogance in his eyes, as if he expected her to thank him for his heroic act.
Abhimanyu: "Anupriya, finally realized how important it is to have someone like me around?"
Anupriya felt a bit taken aback by his tone but decided to focus on her gratitude.
Anupriya: "I wanted to thank you for saving me. I appreciate your help."
Abhimanyu couldn't help but maintain a certain level of arrogance in his response.
Abhimanyu: "Well, you're welcome. I couldn't let something happen on my property, could I?"
As they continued their conversation, Abhimanyu's arrogance seemed to be an inseparable part of his persona. It was clear that he expected praise and admiration for his actions, despite his attempts to hide it beneath a thin veneer of humility.
Anupriya felt a bit overwhelmed by Abhimanyu's arrogance, but she also sensed Ramya's presence in the room, which added to her discomfort. Ramya sat on the edge of the bed, observing the exchange between Anupriya and Abhimanyu with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
Anupriya was aware of Ramya's silent scrutiny, and it made her feel even more out of place. She decided to keep the conversation brief and to the point.
Anupriya: "Well, thank you again, Abhimanyu. I'm grateful for your help."
Abhimanyu nodded, still maintaining that air of superiority.
Abhimanyu: "Of course. Just remember who you can count on."
Anupriya gave a polite nod and made her exit, not wanting to linger in the presence of Abhimanyu's arrogance or Ramya's jealousy any longer.
