Stubborn Shriya 2

Deciding to speak to her in person Abhi went to her room after shower. He saw her studying but he went to sit on the couch. She saw him staring at her and she went to sit next to him.

Looking at him she said "Abhi I wanted to talk to you about something."

She seemed to be hesitating and he knew there was something bad. But he listened to her and he nodded his head as if he was waiting for her to continue.

Shri hung her head up and down and said in a low voice "I don't want to stay here anymore".

Hearing this Abhi didn't know how to react to it. He expected her to say something stupid but not this. He was silent and she looked up to see him.

She tried to analyze his expression but his face was calm and indifferent as if nothing was there in that brain of his.

He asked calmly "Why".

She explained him "I don't feel comfortable here. It makes me feel like I am in a complete different world and I don't belong here".

He was calm hearing her explanation. He was silent and was just staring at her as if he was waiting for her to continue.

Shriya was afraid that he will be angry with her by misunderstanding her , so tried to clear it "It's not like I don't want to stay with you, It's more like I don't want to stay in this big mansion with all the maids serving me".

He just nodded his head and asked "And ?". He was sure that it was not over yet and she had some other things she wanted to discuss with him.

She looked at him and for some reason she felt relieved by his calm expression. She continued "I don't want Naveen to follow me around?".

Abhi's face immediately became a bit furious hearing it. Though he tried to hide she could see his discontent clearly.

He said with a firm voice "I don't accept to it." Though she tried to explain it he was not ready to accept it.

He felt wronged and sad because whatever he was doing is for her own good but she don't want him to do it.

She explained "I am not saying forever, Alteast for these few days. Afterall he has exams too I don't want him to follow all day around and fail in the exams."

Abhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her words. She was worried about Naveen being failed in the examinations. Naveen was already 29 years old and was working under Abhi for a while now. He joined college only because it will be easy for him to enter the campus and follow her all day. He was not at all interested in studies. It doesn't matter whether he passes or not in the examinations. But here Shriya was worried about Naveen.

He was silent the entire time and she was worried that she might have angered him. She didn't think much when she spoke to him but then she understood how stupid she might have sounded to him.

She already know how much he loved and cared her and her sister. He was always there for her by her side whenever she felt down. It was true that she felt a bit uncomfortable in that big mansion but she was comfortable with him and he made sure she was always in her comfort zone.

It also sacred the idea of her entering the industry. To her it was something she don't even dare to think in her wildest dreams.

Abhi just stood up from his chair and went straight to his own room. After a ten or so minutes, a maid entered the room with snacks, fruits and a freshly prepared juice and said Madam, Master asked you to have these snacks and prepare for the exam tomorrow."

Shriya nodded her head and the maid placed them plate on the table. She then turned to leave and when she reached the door she turned around and said ""Madam".

Shriya turned back and looked at her and the maid apologised her "Sorry Madam, I forgot to inform something important".

Shriya looked at her and asked "What ?"

The maid said "Madam, Master asked me to inform you that he will be going out and will be late tonight."

Shriya nodded her head but she felt sad thinking 'he must be angry at me'.

She tried to call him and he received the call after three rings and she was in a hurry to talk to him and said without letting him to speak "Abhi, are you angry with me ?"

She them heard his calm voice "I am meeting Kunal tonight, so I will be late. Sleep tight."

She felt relaxed hearing him and she nodded her head and said "Good night"

He then hung up on her and called Kunal.
