Abhi spoke with his grandpa and after a while he put his phone down and sighed deeply.

He wanted to clear his thoughts and decided to check on his little princess. Recently he had been so busy with his schedule that he didnot have time to spend with his princess.

He went to her room and surprised to see Rahul there.  Rahul always used to complain about being able to take care of  Preeti, but  now he got used to the latter's attitude and company, that he spent his time with her.

He was helping her in completing her homework and they were immersed in their work that they didnot see Abhi entering the room. He knocked on the door and Preeti's face lit up on the sight of Abhi.

She stood up and ran into his arms. He picked her up in his arms and pinched her nose adoringly. Rahul laughed at the scene and said "I am the one who is working his a$$ off here to solve this stupid  maths problem and complete that painting assaignemt of yours and he is the one getting all the kisses and hugs from you but you never bothered to thank me. You are one ungrateful kid." Rahul said with a fake angry expression on his face.

Preeti showed her tongue at latter's face and teased him and Abhi laughed at that cute expression.

They spent some time chit chatting with each other for a while and Abhi helped her with the maths problems and Rahul completed her painting assignment. 

Within half and an hour they completed the work and Rahul took Preeti to her bed after Abhi gave her one last good night kiss.

Abhi excused himself and went to the kitchen. He has the habit of having a glass of  milk before going to bed and everyone in the house got used to that routine of drinking milk.

Even Rahul who hates milk started this habit  because he don't want to face his brother's anger. The maid didn't bring the milk yet, so he went to ask her himself. When he entered kitchen the maid was placing the milk glasses on a tray.

He took the tray of two glasses from her and went to Shriya's room. He wanted to be with her and he knew that she needs some time. But that day when he kissed her in the trail room, it was the urge to kiss her that he had been holding in him for so long.

He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her how much he loves her and what she means in his life.  Especially after sharing a kiss with her, he wanted more but he knew that he have to wait for that.

When Abhi entered Shriya's room she was thinking about something. She wore a pair of black shorts and a white printed t shirt. She looked cute in that pikachu printed t shirt.

Shriya likes Pikachu (the Pokemon character) Abhi has observed most of her things - key chain,  the fingurine on her college back pack, most of her t shirts, pajamas and even the towels has pikachu on it.  He got used to seeing that now.

She was in a  daze, as if she was thinking about something serious, not noticing him enter her room. He thought what about these sisters ignoring me while the tons of girls crave for my attention. He self pitied himself.

Abhi went in and placed the glass of milk on the bed side table. He then sat behind her on the bed and hugged her from behind. She was shocked by this sudden touch and jerked but after seeing it is him she felt relieved seeing  it was Abhi.

He gazed at her face and saw her expression. He notices everything about her, every single detail. When ever someone touches her even accidentally, Shriya gets startled.

After a few seconds, she becomes normal and acts casual, but Abhi observed it a long time ago and he wanted to ask her but seeing her getting used to his touch he thought she might need some time to adjust to this new environment. But it has been a long time but she still felt that feeling.

Shriya finished her work and when she was about to go to bed, she thought about something. She has a feeling that something was not right with both Naveen and Brahmini.

She is sure that they feel something for each other but she never asked her friend nor Naveen about it. She thought that everyone needs their own personal space and she don't want tobe nosy with gossips but there was an awkward atmosphere that afternoon at lunch. She wanted to know what happened to them as she was concerned about her friend.

She was in deep thought, that she didnot see Abhi coming and sitting beside her. When he hugged her, she was startled because in the past she had faced so many  bad incidents in the past.

Whenever Someone touches her, she instinctively feels afraid and she developed a hatred for touch and she feels utterly uncomfortable. 

But she doesn't want others to feel bad or feel hurt so she always manages to act normal despite her uncomfort.

He asked her what she was thinking and she smiled and shook her head saying 'nothing'.

He passed her the glass of milk and after a while she said in a low voice "actually I was thinking about something but it's not so important."

He looked at her and said "Why don't you tell me  first ?" and sipped on his milk, she thought for a while and said slowly "Actually Today  morning at college, an incident took place. Naveen went to park the car and I was walking", she thought back to the events of that day and decided to cut the part when she had a fight with a boy knowing his temper and straight away went to the part where she saw Naveen and her friend.

She then continued "Then both Naveen and Brahmini came together. They were behaving very weird and different. They were not in their usual selves", she stopped to see  his expression, to know if he was listening  to her and after seeing his absent mindedness and silent face she understood that he was thinking something else.

She asked him with a slight disappointed tone "What were you thinking about ?"

He looked at her with his calm face and asked "You didn't say something, I am thinking what you were hiding from me again ?"

She was shocked to hear that. He caught her again.  She thought he will definitely be angry at her for starting a fight with that man.

She cleared her throat and said with her head down and looking at the floor " No I am not hiding  anything from you. I told everything and I am saying,"

But before she could complete her sentence she heard him say "But you edit".
