Abhi was calm when he was listening to the entire story but he couldn't help but worry when he heard that Aksha tried to hurt his woman.

He took her hands in his and inspected to see if there were any injuries. When he made sure that she was fine his heart became relived.

He looked and gave a killer gaze to Naveen and asked in a furious tone "Will you stop just because she asked you to ? what would have happend if she was hurt ?".

Naveen actually wanted to complain about her bold words and the mess she made at the college. But it mis-fired and Abhi was scolding him for a the mess his young madam has done.

He also cursed his master for being such a uxorious man and he even pitied him secretly in his mind.

Shriya looked at the man who was glaring and was giving a cold aura frightening her, she said in a soft tone "I don't want to be some princess who can't even take care of herself. I don't like to depend on my man for such silly issues."

She looked at him observing his face and mood and after confirming that he was not angry anymore, she said something to defend her brother and friend who got himself into trouble trying to throw the blame on her "He was beside me all the time and I am the one who asked him not to get involved." She smiled like a cute little girl and all coquettish.

Seeing her acting all coquettish Abhi couldn't help but melt and sighed in helplessness. He asked while pinching her cheek "Lately you are so confident, going to fights"

Shriya smiled with pride and she said "Of course, dealing with those bunch of fools is a piece of cake for me".

Abhi patted her head and he said while caressing her cheek with his thumb "Next time, don't go alone. I am paying him to take care of you".

She nodded her head like an obedient girl and Abhi turned his focus to Naveen "Next time be careful and also take care of other things at college tomorrow. I don't want to hear anything unnecessary about this issue anymore".

"Resolve it as soon as possible and you know what to do with that girl Aksha".

Naveen nodded his head in understanding and Abhi turned to look at the woman in his hands. He said in a very gentle tone "I need to tell you something".

Naveen knew that he shouldn't be there anymore. Afterall it's not a good idea to be there inbeteen the couple being a bone in the soup, so he stood up and said "Then I will take my leave."

Abhi nodded and Shriya said with a smile "Good night bro" to which he replied "Good night madam".

Then he left and Shriya turned towards her man and asked "Why is he calling me madam again. He usually calls me by my name. Did I tease him a bit too much that he can't be my friend anymore?". She looked like a lost girl.

There was worry all over her face. After a long time she felt like she found her brother. But just now he sounded so distant that she was worried to loose this brother. She already went through that pain once and can't bear that once again.

Abhi felt bad for her qmd he could sense her insecurity. He replied with a smile "Silly girl, he was treating you with respect because I am here with you. You already know he is a devoted worker and he never busts his work manners."

She looked at him understanding what he was trying to say and he continued "Don't worry, he will be back to normal tomorrow morning."

Shriya nodded her head and Abhi said caressing her cheek with his fingers "Shri, tomorrow Gouthami will be coming here and we have to go back to the Mansion for dinner tomorrow night".

She became nervous immediately. She held her head down and was immersed in her own thoughts. She knew that Gouthami looks down on her and treats her with hostility.

She knew she shouldn't say anything to her because she is a family member of Abhi.

Abhi saw through her thoughts and he placed his hand on her chin and made her look up at him. He smiled rea.s.suringly and said "Shri, you need not worry about anything. Though Gouthami looks and acts with att.i.tude, she is one good girl. But she has some issues with her temper and personality".

Shriya looked at him and he said "If she showed att.i.tude to you, you don't have to hold back yourself. You know I can't support you or involve because it's women's issues but you can answer her back anytime and no one will judge you or wrong you not even Rahul".

She smiled hearing his words. He looked cute and seeing her smiling he felt relieved. He said "Shriya, remember you are also a part of this Malhotra family and infact you are the elder daughter on law tobe, so live up to that."

Her heart thumped crazily when she heard his words. Hearing the word daughter in law, she felt a weird and a warm feeling circulating through her entire body. Her face blushed hearing his indirect confession.

Though she already knew that they can't stay away from each other anymore, she felt her heart warm up. She knew she already has blessings of the elder Malhotra, Mr. Malhotra and Rahul.

She hugged him tightly and placed a kiss on his lips. He reacted to her kiss but he was being gentle unlike his usual type.

He moved away from her and he took her hand and led her to the dining table which he already decorated earlier with candles and there were many dishes on the table.

She looked at him and he smiled pulling a chair for her. She was surprised with all this and he enjoyed her happy face. He served her food and she asked with a happy smile "Is something there more to it ?".

He smiled and took out a box which is gift wrapped from below the table and placed it on the table just infront of her.
