My love story : by Abhishek Malhotra 220 Tons of questions

Shriya didnot know how to answer all his questions. When she was debating what to do Naveen came to her rescue with a chilli sauce bottle in his hands. He said "Shriya, if you are done let's go."

Vamshi was not in a mood to leave her yet. He has been searching for her ever since he returned from abroad. When he was still there in India, she was safe and sound in his house. He was her elder cousin, from the family who took both Shriya and Preeti into their family after the accident. He consoled her and gave her mental support. But because of his younger brother Shriya had to go through many hardships and ill treatment. Though he tried to protect her back then, his mother never listened to him. Later he went to Abroad for his job and it was then Shriya moved out from that place.

Vamshi had no idea about all this, one thing he knew is that she never contacted him after he left for another country. Though he tried to ask his family and friends about her, there is no information. He tried to look for her but it was already five years and there was no use in doing so.

He came back to Mumbai and want to settle there. So he came to visit his new office before his official joining and later went to visit his friend's place which is in the same neighborhood as that of Shriya's. That was how they ended up meeting each other in the store.

He looked at her and seeing that she was not responding, he said "Let's go to your place and we can talk there".

Shriya was dumbstruck and she didn't understand how to get rid of him off. He was insisting and she couldn't just reject him tight in his face. She knew he was worried about her. Naveen couldn't say anything either. He stood there silent waiting for her order. He can't take any steps without her permission afterall the other person is Shriya's cousin.

Before she could answer Vamshi said with a smile on his face "Let's go"and he pushed the trolley forward towards the cash counter.

Shriya walked behind him helplessly and Naveen followed her. Though Vamshi said he will pay Shruya paid with her card. She couldn't accept his money. She has her own money and Abhi gave her his card. He opened a bank account for her separately and deposited quiet a sum of amount in that account for her to use in his absence and she was not aware of that.

They walked out of the store after paying and Naveen ordered the store staff to deliver all the stuff and other small items, Naveen carried those items for Shriya and walked behind her.

Naveen didn't bring the car or bike as Shriya wanted to take a walk. So they had no choice but to walk back home. Vamshi said "As we are walking you must be staying in the same neighborhood". Shriya didn't reply as didn't hear him. She was in her own train of thoughts.

All three of them came to the apartments and looking at them Vamshi said with a smile "A friendly neighborhood". Shriya just smiled and they entered the elevator and Naveen pressed button for the 20 th floor. Vamshi then asked Naveen "So you also stay here ?".

Naveen answered nonchalantly "Yes".

Vamshi: "Which floor?"

Naveen : "20th"

Vamshi : "Oh ?"

Naveen : "Hmm".

Vamshi : "Which college ?"

Naveen : "ANS University".

Vamshi : "You both are in the same group?"

Naveen shook his head and said "No, Shriya is in sciences and I..", the door to the elevator opened and all three of them walked out. Shriya walked in front along with Vamshi with Naveen following behind them. She opened the door with the keys and Naveen went in and placed the things in the kitchen. He them walked out and came to the living room.

He then turned towards Shriya and asked hesitantly "Should I stay ?"

Shriya shook her head and said " It's fine, but remember to come at 7 pm, I will prepare dinner for you also".

Naveen knew Shriya is a kind person and treats him as a friend but how could he go to his bosses place for dinner. She said "Come, I will tell him, bye".

Naveen couldn't refuse her request and said "Okay, but call me if you need anything".

Then he turned around and went back to his condo. Shriya closed the door and asked Vamshi to sit. He sat and looked around. She went inside and brought a glass of water from the refrigerator.

She then handed him the glass and looked at him. When he passed the glass he looked around and said "Nice house".

She replied with a smile "Thank you" and asked him "Cooffee or tea ?"

He smiled at her and said "No formalities".

She sat on the couch opposite to him. She decided to tell him everything. He looked at her and asked "Tell me now".

She said everything, how his mother insulted her and harassed Preeti and how she left the house and joined as a sales girl in a cloth store. She just briefed him everything.

He felt bad for her and also was angry at his mother and brother. He wanted to ask them about this but he know he couldn't do anything infront of his dramatic mom.

She told him how she survived the last five years and how she faced the biggest problem in her life. She didn't describe her hardships. She was not asking for us help or his pity.

Just then the front door was opened and a tall, handsome and a dominering man with a cold and indifferent expression entered inside.

He was wearing a pair of black track pants with a loose white t-shirt. His hair was all messy and he covered it with a cap. He had sunglasses which were resting on his sharp nose and he wore a pair of black sneakers. He has a black bag on his shoulders and a refreshment bottle in his hands. He looked like a model for the refreshment drink brand or sports wear. His hefty body was well defined and he had a perfect skin. He emitted the aura of a king and looked unapproachable.

Both Shriya and Vamshi saw the man and Vamshi was shocked seeing the man who was standing in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes. Shriya felt a sense of relief seeing her man arrive.

Shriya stood up from the sofa and walked upto the man with a smile on her face. He smiled at her gently and Vamshi could only stare when the man caressed Shriya's cheek and embraced her in his arms.
