My love story : Abhishek Malhotra

Rahul's whining

"I want to go to India." Gouthami smiled and said calmly. Though she was nervous she didn't want to show it to them and she is too egoistic to accept her nervousness.

Elder Malhotra stared at her trying to gauze her thoughts and his expression changed. He then composed himself and asked "Why so sudden dear?"

She answered with a calm face "Just like that. I asked my parents that I want to go on a  vacation to India and they agreed to it. So ....", she mumbled and soon Mrs. Malhotra intruppted her with excitement "This kid has been working  hard  lately and she must be tired."

She then looked towards Gouthami and asked "When are you leaving, tell me beforehand so that I can inform Abhi and Rahul about your vacation."

Gouthami nodded awkwardly and she was embarrassed to be there anymore as she thought she was wrong for keeping them in dark, as the real reason why she wants to go there is because if Rahul but she couldn't tell anyone that, atleast not yet.

She felt guilty that she didn't say to Mrs Malhotra about her love for the latter's younger son. She was silent the entire time.

After about half and an hour she excused herself from there saying she has to go to hospital. 

Mrs. Malhotra insisted to tell her when she was leaving so that she can send some things to her sons.

Abhi was about to go to his room to sleep when he heard his phone ringing. It was his grandfather again. He then answered his phone and asked calmly "It hasn't been even a single day, and you already called again. Are you missing your grandson that badly grandpa ?"

Grandpa : "you Idiot, Don't be so full of yourself. Listen to me first. I have an important issue to talk to you." He sounded serious.

Abhi asked with the same calm tone "what is it now ?"
Grandpa signed and said "That kid Gouthami is coming to India. She just came here and informed us all about it."

Abhi didn't react to his grandpa's words and said lazily "It's not my problem"
Elder was taken aback by his grandson's words and thought 'what does it mean by the words, it's not my problem'.

Elder was so angry and yelled "Then whose problem is it ?".
Abhi frowned and replied "Ask your other grandson," he then continued  "Oh by the way that girl has nothing to do with me and I am happy with my own girlfriend here, so don't disturb me again on this matter".

Before Elder could process his words and question him again Abhi disconnected the call and smiled to himself.

Next morning at Malhotra Mansion, Shriya and Preeti were still sleeping soundly when Abhi entered their room with a glasses of milk.

That morning Abhi as usual went for a  morning run and when he returned no one was there in the hall. When he asked the maid 'where is everyone she answered everyone except him are sleeping.

So he went to see them. Shriya woke up with the sound of the door opening and she wished him 'good morning' with a smile and he smiled looking at her haystack like hair.

He nodded his head and said 'good morning' Preeti also woke up and when she saw Abhi there, she jumped right into his arms. He held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

When Shriya saw what Preeti did, she said to the latter "You are not a kid anymore, don't jump into his arms. okay," she said with a little angered expression on her face.

Preeti looked at her sister and then back at Abhi with a confused way and seeing her innocent face Abhi shook his head and said to Preeti consoling her "Don't listen to her. You will always be my little princess," he then kissed her on her forehead and smiled.  She nodded happily at him.

Brahmini and Sony went to college and when they saw that Shriya didn't come even when the class started, they decided to call her after class.  When they called her she told them that she has some important work and she couldnot go to college.

Abhi got ready in his usual wear to go to his shoot, he wore his grey track pants paired with a black v neck t shirt and a pair of white sneakers.

Just when he was having breakfast with all the other members, his phone rang and he answered it. Shriya understood that he was talking to Naveen and she realised that Abhi asked him to come to work that day.

She thought 'why did Abhi call him. He is supposed to be on leave for three days and from the talks of it, it seemed Naveen had agreed to come to work.'

She thought about it but couldnot get any reason behind it. She just ignored whatever it might  be as she thought Abhi knows what he is doing and it is irrelevant for her to think about it.

Just then Rahul who was silent the entire time  cleared his throat to get attention from others and looked around.

Everyone present at the table looked at him except his brother, who was eating his breakfast with concentration.

Rahul spoke  after a little hesitation "Bhai, you should help me. She will be here in two days".

Abhi didn't bother to raise his head and said while still looking down  and eating from  his plate "It's not my problem."

Rahul didnt know how to explain to his brother,  his pain, he thought his devil of a brother always finds way to escape at the right time but he decided to beg his brother  for help "please brother, please help me. "

Abhi at last looked at his brother's face which looked as pale as a white paper and it looked like he was about to cry any time soon, Abhi found it too cute and he teased "Mom is sending me a girlfriend and I am happy about it, if you  have any problem with it, it's not my problem, if you need my help, I can ask mom to send you one too."

This time Shriya was the one who was shocked to hear Abhi's words. She looked at him dazed and she felt something bad about it.

Rahul was furious hearing this "Fine, I can't handle her anymore either,  I will just choose a new girlfriend, but I think you have another problem" and his gaze landed on Shriya's face.  Abhi too looked at Shriya and the look on her face made Abhi so happy.
