My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 60 "She Is Mine... Don't You Dare Touch Her"......6

Later that night Shriya came home exhausted, everyone was at home and Abhi sat on the sofa in the living room. She just greeted him "hiii", and went upstairs to her room. Abhi went following her into her room and locked the door.

Shriya was shocked by this gesture and she was afraid, he seems tobe angry about something. Though she doesnot have any idea why he was angry, she can make out from his face that she is the reason for his anger.

She stood there silently unable to move an inch and Abhi got closer to her taking one step at a time. She stood there without any motion. When he was almost near her, his gaze was sharp and piercing, she took a step backwards unintentionally. With his every step towards her, she made a step backwards and at last she reached the dead end of the room. So she stood in front the cup board. Abhi approached her and put his hands on either side of slim body. He then immediately moved his hands to the cupboard and leaned over her. He bent a little to match her level and stared straight into her eyes. He asked her in a cold tone "Shriya, what should I do to make you believe in me. I want you to become the old Shriya who is always active and a brave girl. But what happened to you now? When that b.a.s.t.a.r.d said those nasty things to you today, bullied you, why did just listen without to him without giving him a perfect answer. You have me and I will back you up no matter what you do. You are not just somebody in my life , you are the one and only person I care about, you should have slapped him." His voice is becoming more and more cold and Shriya was trembling with fear. He continued "Why don't you have a little confidence in me, You should have called me then, right at that moment, Why should I have tobe informed about you by some other person. Why ?".

He paused in his words when he saw tears roll down her cheeks. He immediately dumbfounded and didnot know what to do or say. He thought he might have taken this a little far. His eyes are gentle, he wiped her tears and he hugged her tightly, afraid he might lose her if he didnot hold her tight enough. After staying in Abhi's arms for a while, Shriya said sobbing "Its not that I don't want to say these things to you, but I didn't want you to know about these trivial matters, especially when it comes to a person like him. You are already busy enough, I don't want to give more stress". Shriya's voice has become hoa.r.s.e with all that crying, and she said sobbing "I am sorry."
