My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 143 His Silence Is The Worst Punishment For Me 2

Rahul looked at the little girl and felt his heart break seeing her in all tears. This little girl is always active and brave and the kind to attract others easily but not to cry over silly things.

He lifted her up in his arms and took her inside. He placed her on the couch comfortably and asked the housekeeper to get her some snacks.

Uncle Ram saw the little girl crying and he went in to bring her favorite flavored ice cream. She didnot take it and instead she looked at Rahul and said in a serious tone "I am not a little girl anymore. Stop treating me like one".

Her expression was so cute and adorable that he felt his heart warm up. He then made her sit in his lap and said "Okay, young lady, Now you stop crying."

Preeti wiped her tears and looked at him innocently. He took the ice cream which is on the table and placed it in her beautiful small hands. She took it but didn't eat it.

Rahul patted her head lovingly and said "Don't you want your prince charming and your sister to be together".

She looked at him with confusion and said " I want it to happen, but Prince Charming is the one who sent her away".

Sahil laughed at her innocence and said "You are a kid, You won't understand even if I tell you".

Sahil know what his brother was thinking after all he spent most of his time as his brother's shadow. But how can he explain everything to this little girl.

Preeti became her usual self and now she was more like her usual self. She looked at him and said provokingly "Try me"

Rahul didn't know how to answer her. He decided to go with truth so he said "They will get a little more private s.p.a.ce there ,afterall staying with a kid like you is a bit difficult thing as you are so nosy and super observant". He teased her so that she can forget everything and be her usual self.

Preeti just nodded her head in agreement but she processed his comments in her head and said "So it must be the reason why you stayed away from us when your girlfriend came, because I am observant".

He looked at her and he was about to say something when she asked him something which he didn't know how to answer "What is that you did that didn't want to be observed by me. Is it something adult .... ?"

She left it mid sentence making him imagine the next few words. When he understood her he was dumb founded by her direct and to the point question.

He coughed in embarra.s.sment and said "I have some work to do let me go first okay."He then made her sit in the sofa and stood up to leave the living room.

Preeti was in full mood to tease Rahul so she said "Should I call Prince Charmimg and say that you are telling something like this ?"

Hearing this Rahul stopped in his tracks and froze in his place. Abhi spoiled this little kid to no end and whenever she complains something to him about Rahul, he will give the latter a good lecture and scolding.

Rahul regretted helping and consoling that little kid and what he regretted more is spilling the beans in front of her. But he can't help taking care of her as he was already habituated to that work.

Shriya wa silent the entire time and after driving for an hour they reached the park towers and she got down and Naveen carried the luggage into the elevator after parking the car in the designated place.

Shriya just followed Naveen and the elevator stopped on the top floor of the building. In each floor there were only two condominiums and they faced opposite to each other. Naveen took her to the one on the north side and Shriya already had the keys to that and when she unlocked and entered the condo she felt a bit familiar with that place as if she was staying there for a while now.

Naveen placed the luggage bags in the living room and left. He then said "You look around madam, then I will help you place the bag in your room," saying he turned around to leave.

When he reached the main door, he stopped in his tracks and looked around as if he forgot to say something and intended to say it then "I am staying in the condo opposite to this, call me if you need anything. Then I will leave it to you". He then turned and walked away.

She then sat in the sofa and looked around. It was a simple but comfortable condo, not so luxurious but had all the necessary things. The living room was painted in all white and it was so pretty and gave a pure and peaceful atmosphere to the room.

Shriya laid in the sofa and closed her eyes. She then thought 'I should talk to Abhi tonight'. She decided to call him that night and decided to apologize to him.
