Sony said with a blushed face "No thanks, let's keep it for later".

Kunal nodded "Yeah, let's wait a little longer. what was I saying earlier?".

Sony said "You were about to say something funny" and he said as if he remembered that "Ah, right."

He continued "So that day out of some emotion and under influence and especially to clear that... I told him about Abhi and Shriya and Abhi's secret got busted."

"Grandpa practically forgot everything after I told him that and he asked me for details. I just briefed him and we both were done. He beat us up and we couldn't do anything but to bear his beatings".

"Next day he cornered Abhi and made him say the entire story and made a scene out of it. He opposed it firmly and Abhi was in panic the entire day."

Sony was really shocked and asked to confirm "So were you the one who said it ?" and Kunal nodded.

"That was when Abhi was angry at me and he didn't speak to me all day". Sony asked out of curiosity "Then how did you two make up later ?".

Kunal shrugged his shoulders and said "We again had a drink that night and I apologized to him. He thanked me for busting it as he was worried how to tell about that himself to grandpa and for saving him from that pressure" He said in a lazy tone "Actually, a drink as simple as that".

Sony was about to ask about that incident earlier but he said "Let's go back. It's getting dark and I have to drop you off at your house".

She saw around and found it was really getting dark. She stood up and walked towards the bike. He walked behind her and looking at her under the moonlight, she looked extra beautiful.

They met Grandma and Pumpkin at the gate and all went to a punjabi restaurant and Kunal ordered for a private room.

Kunal is busy serving the food to his grandmother and Sony was happy to see him like that. Pumpkin was observing this and taking advantage of the situation, she asked cutely "Bhai, I want your atm card".

He looked at her and asked without much emotion "Why ? what happened to your other card ?".

She didn't answer instead she looked at her grandma and contained "Grandma, you tell to bhia to give me the card. Please?".

Sony didn't get involved and looked at the family drama. Grandma looked at her grandson but before she could say anything, Kunal said "No grandma. I have already given her a card recently and the card contains a few lakh rupees."

Grandma looked at Pumpkin and asked with a grim face "What have you done with all that money ?".

Pumpkin made a poker face and said "Forget it. I don't want any. "

Sony felt bad for Pumpkin. Sony whispered to Kunal "You have so much money, can't you give some to her. She is a girl afterall and we like shopping. She even bought some normal clothes yesterday?".

Sony is a sensitive girl and she knew where she should step up and talk and where she shouldn't. She didn't want to get involved, but she felt bad for Pumpkin. Kunal said "You will know".

Pumpkin looked up to see her brother who said "If you are planning to buy that bike, you will not get any money. I heard lately you were not only exceeding the normal speed limits, but also jumping signals frequently. I can't give you if you go like this. I will ven bolock your other cards and take away your bikes".

Sony got a hint of what was happening there. Kunal already told her once about Pumpkin's love for bikes and races. She immediately shut her mouth and didn't involve in the discussion. She had her dinner in silence and soon after dinner Kunal dropped her off at her place. This time Kunal didn't kiss her at the gate being afraid to face his soon to be father in law.

After dinner when Abhi entered the room he saw a few shopping bags on the bed. Shriya was sorting some empty place to place them in her wardrobe.

He sat on the bed and asked "I guess you guys are getting along well. You even went out shopping with her."

Abhi never bothered himself about girl's stuff. But he couldn't see his woman all day and he heard that she went out shopping with Gouthami. So he asked out of curiosity infact he was worried if she felt any discomfort.

Shriya said without turning her head "Yeah, she was helping me with something" and then asked him "Can you bring those bags here ?".

He asked curiously while taking out the things from the bag "What did you buy to....?". The words got struck in his throat when he saw what was in the bag.

It was the same black silk and lacy night dress which she bought earlier. He looked at it and he was shocked. He unfolded it completely and seeing the size is too small for her, he asked "Is this for you?"

He held it like he was exhibiting it and when she saw that the blood in her face all flushed with embarra.s.sment. He asked with a smrink "Beautiful stuff. I love it. Let me see what else you bought ?".

Shriya sat silent. Though she was embarra.s.sed and shy, she still let him see them. As expected and to her relief he said "I can imagine you in this. You will look lovely."

Shriya said with annoyance but also a bit of excitement with his approval "I am sure you did because you are a pervert."

He grinned and said "Let's put this to some use in near future. I promise you will get to wear it soon."

She smiled but there was nervousness in her face. She is worried that he might think that she is trying to seduce him but she didn't keep it in her heart and asked it out with guilt "Do you this I am being cheap seducing you".

Abhi shook his head without much of an expression "Well I don't mind you seducing your all willing boyfriend. I am actually proud of you. There's nothing wrong with you doing that to me. I always fo that to you ".

She looked at him with suspicion and he said "I really like bold woman."

Abhi said suddenly after looking at her relieved face "Come here, I want to ask you something?".
