Hello evrybody! Sorry for makin you wait long time. As my classes started, it became rare to visit the forum. Well, here goes the 6th chapter. And, yes, thanks for evry1 who commented.
Anjali's P.o.v:
He stood grinning at me. I smiled in return as he walked towards me. He came close so that I can even hear his whispers. He looked deeply into my eyes and my heart began to beat faster.
"The view is too good. Isn't it?" he fondled my tip of the nose with his index finger and smiled. "Just like you."
Without even waiting for me to respond, he opened the bonnet and started to check what was wrong.
I stood stunned by his act a second ago. He's too casual and friendly to mix with. I even thought of us becoming best friends and spending all the time together. I would not mind even if it goes beyond friendship.
Wait! What I was just thinking? There are so many hindrances for us to get together. He's a north Indian and I'm totally opposite. Is that his touch, which made me think like this? I should take care that he stays without touching me.
I went to him and asked, "What's wrong? Is it difficult to repair?"
"I think we actually wasted a night here. It's just a air block due to the rain and now okay. Hop in."
He replied as he shut the bonnet.
Waste? What did he mean? waste because he had to sit simply or waste because he had to stay with me? Whatever, staying away is better. I decided firmly and sat in the car.

Kapil's P.O.V:
I fell on my bed even without leaving my shoes on the rack. It was like a dream. It was like a colourful dream. I felt sweet when I thought, I had spent a whole night with Anjali and that too all alone. Wow! I should not waste this incident. Keeping this as a prelude I should get close to her. I decided to text and call her daily. So that, she will miss me one day if I don't text or call. I smiled to myself. I had never been such a stupid to think all these. It is true that love is blind.
Knock. Knock. Who else it can be? My mom, obviously.
"Hi mom!," I went to her and kissed on her cheek.
"Where have you been last night?" she didn't smile. She was angry.
"You'll be shocked, if you know what happened last night," I told excited as I narrated everything to her.
She was surprised, I knew it. But she didn't show it on her face.
"So, you thought, You don't need to inform me. Right?," She looked dull. "I was looking badly for you, Kapil. I called you but your mobile was switched off! It is okay that you had a nice time. But it is not that you can forget your mom." Man, she's totally upset. She didn't cry, since, she was not that kind. I was happy about that.
"Mom?" I touched her shoulder. She simply ignored. "Mom, I'm sorry. I seriously didn't meant to hurt you. But I couldn't able to think of anything except her. I'm sorry, mom." She still looked down and I continued. "I'm so sorry, ma," This time, it is my voice which started to tremble. My mom won't cry because she is not that kind, but I'm that kinda person. Particularly, In my mom's matter.
She tilted her head and looked at me. She looked deep into my eyes, still looking angry. She slapped me fakely and laughed. I knew she would be convinced. But it is always me, who get tensed for such things. We both laughed for sometime.
"So, you love her that much?" She asked with her same kind smile.
I nodded. "I don't know whether I can explain by words. She already became my everything, mom."
I turned and went to the window, where we both sat when Anjali came. "I feel like no one else can take care of her better than me. Even now, I was thinking how to get close to her". I turned and crossed my arms facing my mother. She came near smiling, kept her hand on my cheek and said,"Go, shower first and come to eat".
"First, I'll eat. I'm hungry." I proceeded to the dining where my mother held my ear.
"First shower. You stayed all over the night without eating anything with Anjali. But after you saw your mom, you feeling hungry eh?" She looked for some stick and I rushed to the bathroom taking my towel. I could hear her laughing behind.

Kapil's P.O.V:
Two weeks had passed. Very enjoyable days. After that car incident, no day went without calling or texting Anjali. We almost started to know each other better. Nowadays, she has started to call me on her own.
I dressed myself and went to the college. I straightly went to Anjali's class but I didn't find her there. But her roommate, Priya, was there.
"Hello, Priya!" I said. I thought I can enquire about Anjali to her.
"Hiiiiii Kapz!" she jumped up and down.
"kapz?" nobody called me like that.
"Yes, I always call you that. I don't beleive you coming and talking to me" She looked more than excited. I was infact jerked by her strange expressions.
"Uh, oh.. O, o... okay okay.. re.. relax relax!" My god, it took me so much time to relax her first. "I was searching Anjali since morning. Where is she?"
"Anjali? you don't know?" she asked me totally shocked.
"why? what happened to her?" I started to panic. I don't know how much time this girl of strange reaction will take to tell me about her.
"She is not doing well. Viral fever. She didn't tell you?"
"What? Not doing well? Since when? Where is she?" I started to shoot the questions.
"Just since yesterday. She's in our house."
"Can I go and meet here there?"
"Yes, sure!"
"Okay, thanks, Priya, Nice meeting you!"
"wow!!! The same here!" she almost sank on the floor.
But I'm not in a mood to check what happened to her. I rushed to Anjali's place.
############
Knock. Knock.
I waited impatiently outside. Anjali opened the door. She was wearing a cotton night dress with teddy bears on it. It made her look like a high school girl. Her hair was left free. Her eyes looked tired and weary. She looked weak too.
"Kapil? How come you are here? Come inside." she was surprised to see me.
"Anjali, what happened to you? Why are you like this?" I can't take the fact that she's not doing good.
"Its just a normal fever, Kapil! First, come inside."
I went in. She looked thin. Just with One day fever, she became like a stick. Even her fingers shivered due to dizziness.
"Anjali, you look like a stick. First come, let's go to the doctor." I pulled her arm, just without my own knowledge.
"Kapil..." she told with a fake annoyance. "I went to the doctor already. He said a week's bed rest is compulsory. That's all. I'm alright." She smiled at my behaviour.
"No No, Anjali. Come to my house. My mom and I will take care of you. Someone's care is necessary now." I told.
"Kapil, first sit down. I'll bring you something to drink." she said and walked to the kitchen.
I seriously didn't want her to stay alone in this house. I sat as I thought how to take her to my home. I thought I should make my mom speak to her.
"Kapiiiillll..." She sounded like mumbling my name.
I turned to look why she is calling. Anjali had one hand on her forehead and the other one trying to hold something for grip. She's fainting.
For a second, I don't know what was happening to her. I ran to her and caught her. She leaned completely on me without a little conciousness. I held her on my arms and slightly tapped her cheeks.
"Anjali! Anjali!!" no response.
I carried her to the couch and laid her there. I rushed to the kitchen and grabbed the water jug. I came back to her and sprinkled some water on her face. She lighlty turned her face left and right annoyed by the water on her face. She slowly opened her eyes.
I made her sit on the couch and asked her to lean back and rest. I fed her some water. I didn't speak to her for sometime to make her regain the composure. Minutes passed.
"Anjali, are you okay?" I asked. She silently nodded. "Without saying a word, come and get in my car" I ordered.
"Kap-" I cut her off.
"I said without a word!" I said firmly.
