My love story : by Abhishek Malhotra 392 The game 1

Mr. Pratap asked with a smile "Well I didn't know you were this traditional." and Abhi explained "Well, it's because of Kunal".

"Kunal belongs to Rajput family and they still believes and follows all traditions and customs seriously. They are very orthodox and it is mandatory for younger people to bow to elders of the family.

When I first started working in the industry, I am all alone in India and had no friends. Whenever we got some free time we used to go to Rajupt palace.

I was born and brought up in America, so I didn't know much about these customs and when I first met Kunal's grandpa he gave me an earful for not bowing to him.

He said I don't have any manners, respect for others and this generation is useless and knows nothing and doesn't know anything." Abhi smiled remembering all those incidents.

"After that incident same thing happened many a times and I practically started falling on his legs at the very sight of him whenever I saw him when now. But grandma is the sweetest person I have ever met".

Mr. Pratap was eager to know much about Rajput family. He asked "Well while we are on this topic, I want to ask you something. I am curious about it for a while now. Is it okay ?".

Abhi looked at him and nodded and Mr. Pratap asked "Abhi, I heard some thing about Kunal ?"

Sony became alert when she heard this and Abhi looked at his side and Sony looked all stressed. He smiled at her assuringly and said "Well, what is it uncle ?"

Mr. Pratap hesitated for a moment and asked "Well I heard Kunal is gynophobic and also other... ?".

Sony was so embarrassed and she didn't know how to act or say anything. She just looked here and there randomly in all directions.

She thought to herself "I know he is not anything like that and he proved it to me but how can I can something like that to dad ?".

Abhi looked at her reaction and he couldn't help but laugh. He understood what exactly she was thinking. He disguised his chuckle into a cough trying not to make it any more awkward for him and for others.

He said with a confident smile "Well, it's all just a scandal and they are all blind articles. He used to be a bit uncomfortable around woman. That was because he studied in all boys school and college.

Aunty was never close with him. The only women he is comfortable with are grandma and his sister Pumpkin.

Now he is all fine and you must have seen the new year's eve. He is all fine now and even doing a normal love story".

Mr. Pratap was confused when he heard 'sister' and his brain got struck there and he didn't pay much attention to other things.

He asked with curiosity "He has a sister ?" Abhi hesitated and looked at his woman who was dozing off.

He looked back at curious Mr. Pratap and said "Well, Shri is tired and about this, why don't you ask Sony. She know everything about Pumpkin and they are close friends afterall".

With that he took Shriya in his hands and walked out. Sony rushed out to open the doors and after bidding them bye and greeting good night, she closed the door and rushed inside into her room not giving her father time to ask her anything.

The next few days are gone with the vigorous practice. The girls are too tired that they barely paid any attention to the classes.

Abhi picked her up everyday from Sony's place though he didn't go upstairs. Shriya always skipped her dinner because of tiredness and Abhi changed her diet plan to a different one to get her more nutrients and also reenergize her body.

In the blink of an eye it was already saturday and it was the day of the match. Soon the classes were finished and they moved to the basket ball court for the game.

Friday night

Abhi's study room

Abhi called his friend Kunal and the latter answered after two rings.

Abhi spoke "Hey man, what's your schedule tomorrow?".

Kunal asked "Tomorrow I am free and had to visit the hotel in the west side of the city for a general inspection."

Abhi said with a smile "You must have already heard that your woman and her gang are having a game tomorrow."

Kunal nodded and said in an indifferent tone "Hmm, I heard about it."

Abhi said with an annoyed tone "Well, I asked for a half day off from our director. In fact my entire crew are waiting for the game. Will you join us tomorrow ?".

Kunal said "I was planning to come there. Okay I will be there after completing the work".

Kunal wanted to pay them a visit soon after he heard about it, but he knew it will cause some news and juicy gossip for the entertainment news.

Now Abhi himself called and asked him. And after knowing that he won't disturb the shoot he decided to go. He was dying to watch the game and he became even more curious after he heard about the conditions".

* * * * *

That afternoon just before the completion of the shoot for the day, a black Range Rover came to a halt at the shooting spot.

Kunal walked out of the car in his khaki knee length shorts and a white hoodie. He smiled at Abhi who was removing the make up in a hurry and walked upto him.

To the other side, Garima was also doing the same thing and everyone in the crew are eager to watch the game.

The are not curious because of the conditions, but because Abhi, Garima are eager for that game and also the director Raj. he even completed the shoot by pre-poning it to complete it in time.

Now even Kunal Rajput joined them and they felt like they are watching some international game or an IPL.
