A Step Closer, Yet Miles Apart

Hi everyone👋.....

THE PICTURES USED IN THIS STORY IS NOT MINE SO, THE CREDITS GOES TO IT'S RIGHTFUL OWNER.

RECAP :- Vishnu once again missed the girl, akshu took permission and went to her akka mama house, she went to the function with them. Meanwhile vishnu's parents also took him to a relative function forcefully.

Let's get back to the story.........

At the dinning hall

Vikram : Akshu, go sit in front. There’s a seat there. ( You all sat in the chairs, and the servers started serving food )

Akshu : Mama, the food is really tasty!( She said while enjoying the food )

Abhi : Yeah, we should book this catering for your wedding. ( She said while eating )

Vikram : Okay, ma. I’ll check with them and ask the details. ( He said while agreeing with her )

Akshu : Why are you always ready in chasing me away?( She said, whining )

Abhi : Why, no plans for marriage? Are you planning to become a saint?( She said with a teasing chuckle. You were about to talk, but Vikram interrupted )

Vikram : You two can argue later. Eat for now. ( Both of you ate silently )

_______Meanwhile with vishnu

Yuvi : Ma, the food tastes good.

Anu : Yes, anna, the sweet is super delicious. ( They both said simultaneously )

Soundharya : For Vishnu’s wedding, we’ll have the food arranged here itself.

Suresh : Okay, done. The catering is finalized. Now that only the Maharaja’s order is pending, we can start looking for a bride. ( He said with a teasing chuckle )

Yuvi : But that Maharaja hasn’t given his order yet. ( He said and nudged his brother’s arms )

Anu : Exactly, anna. If anni { elder brother's wife means sister -in-law } comes, it’ll be like I got a company at home. ( She said with a giggle )

Vishnu : You all started again, didn’t you?( He said while rolling his eye )

Soundharya : Keep saying that you'll become oldy that when you wish to married we can't get a bride for you ( She said in annoyed tone and continued eating, while Suresh laughed )

Anu : Appa, why are you laughing suddenly?

Suresh : Nothing, ma. behind us a sisters are talking, I was just laughing at how the sister conversing with each other.( Akshitha and Vishnu, Vikram and Suresh, Abhi and Yuvi were sitting back-to-back and couldn’t see each other’s faces )

** All of them finished their food and went from to hand wash area. **

IMAGINE THAT THERE IS CROWD IN THE PLACE

Akshu : Akka, my bracelet got stuck in the embroidery of my dress. Can you help me remove it? ( You said while showing the bracelet )

Abhi : Hey, can’t you live without this bracelet? Look at how it’s stuck now. Just remove the bracelet itself.

Akshu : No, no! I won’t remove the bracelet. Just untangle it, that’s enough.

Abhi : How can I untangle it without taking off the bracelet?

Akshu : You know how important this bracelet is to me. Please help me now.

Abh i: Okay, okay. Wait, I’ll remove it. you go and wash your hands, and I’ll put it back on . ( She said, and you nodded
** You went to the hand wash area, where Vishnu and his family were also standing.**

Vishnu's MV : Even in this function, I couldn’t spot the girl with that bracelet.

Abhi : Wash your hands quickly and come! ( She said while standing at the entrance )

Akshu : Hmm, wait, I'll come.

Vishnu MV - ( He was washing his hands he looked at Akshu's hand while she was washing her hands to check if she was wearing a bracelet or not ) "This girl isn't wearing a bracelet either, huh..." ( He left in disappointment as he couldn't find the bracelet girl )

________Meanwhile with akshu

Abhi : Took you so long to show your hand.

Akshu : Hehe, I got caught up in the crowd there.( she said with a giggle )

Abhi : You’re laughing like this as if you’re going to fly away.

Akshu : Okay, okay, now just tie the bracelet.( Abhi tied the bracelet for her )

Abhi : Finally, it’s done! But the way you treat this bracelet is a bit too much.( She said when he kissed the bracelet )

Vikram : Abhi, Akshu, shall we go? ( They went to the bus stop )

at the bus stop

** Vishnu's family were standing on the right end of the bus stop.where as akshu , abhi and vikram were standing at left end of the bus stop **

Suresh : Dei, first we are going to my friend's house and then go home.

Vishnu : Okay, let’s go.( He said while looking at the approaching bus )

Yuvi : Hey, can we take the next bus, please?

Suresh : This isn’t the bus for that route.

_____here with Akshu

Vikram : Akshu, you get on first, then Abhi, you get on.

Akshu : Mm, okay, mama. ( She got on the bus and extended her hand to Abhi, as she was struggling with her gown )

Abhi : This is the only useful thing you’ve done in your life. ( She said to Akshu )

Vishnu's POV

He casually turned to look at the bus and saw a girl's hand wearing the same bracelet. But who was she helping? Damn, I can only see the hand, not the face. Alright, let’s go near the bus and check. He was walking towards the bus, but Yuvi held his hand.

In the bus

Vikram: You two started again? Shh. (He sighed, bought the tickets, and the bus started moving.)

Vishnu’s POV

Dei Vishnu, you missed her again. That girl was at this bus stop the whole time, but I didn’t notice her? Damn. ( He came out of his trance when someone patted his shoulder )

Yuvi : Dei, where are you going like a madman, huh?! ( He asked )

Suresh : Dei, why are you staring at that bus and overthinking? ( He spoke and shook Vishnu’s shoulder )

Vishnu : Huh? Damn it. We could have taken that bus! Now, where will I go and search for her? ( He said in a frustrated tone )

Yuvi : Dei, what exactly are you searching for, huh?! Ohhh, is someone on that bus? ( He said, looking at him suspiciously with a teasing smile )

Vishnu : Tha-That’s nothing! Come on, our bus is here.( He said, and they all left from there )

___At Mall

** Vikram took both sisters to the mall for shopping.**

Vikram : Akshu, get whatever you want. I’ll buy it for you, okay?

Akshu: Then it’s going to be fun! Thanks, mama! ( She giggled in happiness )

Abhi : Dei, you idiot! Have you ever taken me shopping without me asking?! ( She asked, being sulky )

Akshu : If he takes you, you won’t stop at three or four dresses. You’ll buy the whole store! That’s why mama doesn’t take you shopping. Am I right, mama?( She said with a teasing smile )

Vikram : Akshu, how do you always say exactly what’s on my mind? ( He asked while teasing Abhi )

Abhi : Hey! When have I ever bought the whole store?! You both are teasing me way too much! Hmph!( She said in an annoyed tone )

Akshu : we will what will you do, huh? ( She said while giving a high-five to Vikram )

Abhi : Keep going, keep going! Let’s see what you do when I tease you with your husband when you get married. Hmph! And You won’t even have space in our room for a week! ( She said and turned her face to the other side )

Vikram : Ayyo, she’s just teasing you for fun, and you’re getting all angry and giving me this big punishment huh! Buy whatever you want. Who else am I going to buy things for, if not my wife? ( He said and hugged her from the shoulder. Abhi smiled at him, and they both looked at each other )

Akshu : Excuse me! There are kids here! do your romance when you both reach home, please. ( She said with a teasing laugh )

Abhi : What kid?! Where is a kid here?! Huh!! ( She said while coming out of his grip )

Akshu : Who else? Me, of course.( She said, shrugging her shoulders )

Abhi : You? A kid? You’re at marriageable age now! Did you hear that, Vikram? She’s still calling herself a kid. ( She said )

Vikram : Ayyo, please! Don’t start again. Can we at least do some shopping? I don’t know what to do with you both!( He said, sighing )

Akshu : Hehe, that’s just how we are.( She said and gave a high-five to Abhi )

Vikram : Mm, okay, fine. If you two are done talking, shall we go shopping now?

Abhi : Oh yes, let’s go! ( They all went shopping, and after finishing, they took an auto and went to Akshu's house )

___Time skip at night 8:30

Akshu : Mama, tell them to stop at the street corner.

Abhi : Why there? How are you going to carry all the bags from the gate?

Vikram : Yeah, Akshu, how will you manage all the shopping bags alone?

Akshu : No, mama. If someone at home sees, they’ll say something. If they say something to me, it’s fine, but they’ll end up talking about you both too. That’s why stop here. I’ll go on my own.

Abhi : Oh wow, that's the reason I tell you to just ignore them and live your life, will you listen?( She said sarcastically while rolling her eyes )

Akshu : I wouldn’t mind to do that, but what to do? They have fed me for 10 years and raised me. Nothing else.

Abhi : Fine, if you keep being this sentimental, they’ll take full advantage of it, and you’ll only realize and regret it later.

Akshu : I’ve handled so much already. This is nothing. ( She said in a swag tone )

Vikram : Okay, Akshu ma, go safely. Bye.

Abhi : Be careful, di. Stay alert around that old witch. Okay, bye. ( They both left in the same auto )

** Darsha, who was standing on the balcony since their house is on the first floor, saw Akshitha getting down from the auto. She took Kavitha and showed her the scene. As you approached the gate, you also saw them standing on the balcony, glaring at you.**

Akshitha's POV

Damn, damn! Looks like this devil has already Informed mom and grandma. Who knows what trouble they’re going to create today? Akshitha, get ready for battle. ( She took a deep breath and climbed the stairs to her house )

_____________

Why is Darsha keeping an eye on Akshu? What is her true intention?

Will Vishnu ever get a chance to see Akshu’s face and recognize her as the bracelet girl?
