Naveen nodded his head saying "Well, there's nothing important or worth saying about her. She is just my cla.s.smate and I think she has a crush on me.

She tried to ask me out a few times but I told her clearly that she doesn't have a chance because I already have a beautiful girlfriend" with that he smiled at Brahmini who was now a bit satisfied with his answer and then his gaze turned towards Shriya and Sony and he muttered "And you two watchful witch sisters".

They didn't take his words to their hearts. Brahmini said "Okay, if it's like that. Then fine." and they left as they completed their lunch.

Naveen said while walking towards their block "Let's wait here after cla.s.ses. We will discuss about the game plan". They nodded and walked to their cla.s.s and he left to his own cla.s.sroom.

In the evening they reached the entrance of their department and saw Naveen already waiting for them there. They settled in the gra.s.s and Naveen brought them some snacks to munch on.

Shriya informed about this meeting to her man and he just said he will wait for her. They were going home together everyday, though she is afraid that someone might see them together but she was still enjoying it so much and didn't want to miss the joyous moment.

Shriya asked "Is that even the basket ball game and what are those rules ?" and Sony muttered "We can't play by the rules here. There aren't many players and it's happening just because they want to challenge us".

Naveen said to them in a serious tone "Okay, listen. This is not a good thing. Boss was watching us all along and we can't loose the game at any cost.

There are three more days for this weekend. First, from tomorrow we will practice for it. Sony already know the game she just needs to do a bit of practice and she will be fine. As for you guys we have to do start practicing for this seriously".

Shriya was surprised and asked with curious eyes "How did you know Sony can play the game ?". Naveen flickered her forehead with his fingers and said "Easy, Not even that hard to guess. She is so eager to say yes earlier and show off her skills".

Sony asked "What if I am just trying to mess things up. You can't be so sure ?" and Brahmini nodded "We know she always like to mess things up ?".

Sony made a poker face at her friend and they looked at Naveen and after a moment if hesitation he said with a sigh "Well, I know Varun couched her for the game for some school game. He told me and Rishi about that before".

They didn't say anything and mood became a bit calm all of a sudden with the mention of Varun and Rishi's name. Shriya smiled "Okay, from tomorrow we will do our practice" and Sony chimed in "I know a place, we can practice there".

Brahimini said "I will inform my parents about late cla.s.ses" and they all nodded in agreement.

They left for home and on the way Shriya fell asleep as usual while Abhi was busy with his phone all the while..

At dinner table also Abhi was busy with his phone. He never uses his phone at the dining table and it was not like him. It was also a strict rule from him for others not to use phone during meals.

Shriya looked at him and asked "Why are so fixed to your phone today ? Just put it aside and have dinner peacefully ?".

Abhi looked at her and said "Well, I am watching news. I heard there's a sudden change in the location for shoot".

Abhi never likes to talk about work at the dining table. Rahul thought his brother was talking about the present movie and about Campus, so he asked "Why ? You already started shooting in the campus ?".

Abhi said placing his phone back on the table "I have to shoot for an advertis.e.m.e.nt this week and the production team already booked rooms for accommodation".

"But it is said that there happend a raid on that hotel and the shoot got cancelled."

When Abhi said that the girls also looked at him and Rahul signalled Abhi towards Preeti. They never talk such stuff before the little girl and Yash, so he tried to stop Abhi from continuing that discussion.

But Abhi continued "That was an old man called 'Shyam Matre' and that very old man was also accused of many other similar crimes."

Rahul looked at his brother with confusion. It was clear that he was saying everything so that Preeti can listen. Rahul remembered something but he didn't utter a word.

Abhi continued "He tried to ask for our cooperation earlier and he was also a partic.i.p.ant of one of the tenders our company is bidding."

He then looked at his woman and Gouthami who were giving them killer gazes. He said "Let's eat now and watch the news later".

Yash said with a pout and in stutters because he is sad "I want to play with Preeti. It's my playtime. Office hours are over".

Abhi said "Just wait for a while Yash. You just watch his face and listen to the news. If you meet people like him in the future, stay away from him no matter how advantageous the alliance is to us. We have to follow the morals. Okay." He explained with patience.
