Rahul was taken aback with this sudden request from his grandpa. He knew if his brother don't want this to happen and if he helped his grandpa in that, then his brother will make sure to kill him no matter how hard he begged him.

He was silent for a bit not knowing what to do and then it was Abhi who broke the silence by calling his women's name "Shri".

She just gave a sound "hmm" and she was silent again.

Abhi said in a gentle voice "Shri, Grandpa wants to talk to you, feel free, don't worry, I am here".

He then heard a small "hmm" and both elder Malhotra and Mr. Malhotra were shocked to see Abhi being as gentle as he could be. They have never seem him this gentle with anyone.

They were both dumbfounded and Abhi had to signal his grandpa to make him get back to his senses. He said in a strict and cold tone "Don't bully my women".

Elder Malhotra said in a teasing way "I am not a gang leader who goes around bullying people".

Rahul also said "Grandpa, Don't bully my sisla."

Mr. Malhotra said "You shut up, bhai ka checha, we are not some school bullies and you both brothers dont make it sound it we always bully people".

Elder Malhotra is close to his eldest grandson while Mr. Malhotra had a good bond with his youngest son".

Elder Malhotra said in a neutral and indifferent tone "Hey Shriya, I am Abhi's grandpa".

Shriya said in a sweet but respected tone "h.e.l.lo Grandpa, how are you ?".

Elder Malhotra said "I am fine, how are you?"

She sounded a bit confident than before after hearing to elder Malhotra's friendly greetings "I am good grandpa, how is your health ?".

Elder Malhotra said to her "All good dear, Here talk to Abhi's father".

Shriya is the one who spoke first now, she greeted him "h.e.l.lo sir, Good evening" she spoke in a rather official tone, it seemed like she was a bit nervous.

Abhi said with the same gentle tone "Call him Uncle, what do you mean Sir,"

Elder Malhotra laughed and Mr. Malhotra said "yeah beta, call me uncle, feel free and don't be nervous at all".

Mr. Malhotra sounded a bit friendly than his usual self when he was talking to Shriya. It seemed like he already liked her.

Shriya seemed to relax a bit so she said "Okay uncle".

Elder Malhotra asked her "So how is your college, how you adjusted to it yet".

"Yeah grandpa, It is good and I have already adjusted to it", she answered him with much more ease this time.

Elder Malhotra said with the same indifferent tone "Congratulations, you were great at the compet.i.tion for miss University".

Shriya thanked him "Thank you so much grandpa."

Mr. Malhotra has no idea so he just followed his father and congratulated her.

Abhi didnot want her to face everything at once so he grabbed the mobile and said "Shri go have your breakfast and get some rest after that, I will call you so don't worry and have a good sleep".

Shriya said "Okay, have a good day" and then she said bye to both the elders and went to get breakfast for Rahul.

Rahul also said "Okay I am going to have breakfast and then head to office, so I'll speak to you guys once I come home".

Then he hung up on them being afraid that they might ask him others questions, so he just used work as an excuse to avoid them.

After that talk with Shriya and Rahul both the elders seemed a lot relaxed and Abhi understood it was all okay for him and Shriya for a while. He thought 'it is fine now' but he had to deal with two other people and it is not an easy task.

Mr. Malhotra asked his son "What's with Miss University ?"

Abhi said "Recently in Shriya's University, they celebrated Freshers day and fest and in that Shriya won Miss University".

Mr. Malhotra nodded his head as if he was saying he understood and then he said in a low voice "It's seems like she is a good girl but I have a doubt".

Elder Malhotra looked at his son and the latter asked "You said she stopped her studies about five years ago, then isn't she behind others in college?"

Abhi smiled and his expression contained a prideful look. He said "She is an intelligent girl, she managed to complete her schooling earlier than others and in her hometown she was the first student who completed her secondary schooling at the age of thirteen. That was how she managed all this. She is now in her 2nd year of graduation and it was right time for her graduation."

When they heard that she is an intelligent there was quite a praise in their eyes. They always appreciated people with knowledge and they were truly impressed with Shriya this time.

Mr. Malhotra mumbled to himself "I am curious about her IQ level". Abhi heard it and said "She didn't take a test for IQ but I am sure she will score above 100 in that test".

Elder Malhotra asked his grandson the question which he was so curious about from the beginning "It seemed like she has a special bond with Rajputs' and also with Manvi and Uday. Why do I have a feeling that there is something more to this, than just love at first sight ".

Abhi was silent and it seemed like he was thinking about something. It seemed like he was debating whether to answer his grandfather's question or not.

After some deep thought he said in a calm time "She is the girl from five years ago"

That one sentence made them both flabbergasted and they were shocked with this sudden news.
