My cousin

Shriya knew what her cousin will ask her next. But she didn't want him to know about her and Abhi's relationship as she knew that she couldnot afford it. She didn't want Abhi to face anymore problem because of her. It was only a few days before that the scandal broke out about Abhi with their pictures and she couldn't think of any such mistake again.

There was never a scandal about Abhi or Kunal. These two men always maintained their status and considered as pure as Ganga waters.

But she also can't hide it from her cousin forever. She knew he genuinely cared for her and was worried about her and her sister. But how can she tell him about Abhi.

When she was debating whether to tell him or not, Abhi came in and she was not so nervous seeing her man. She ran up to him and he caressed her gently. They were acting as if there were alone in the room completely ignoring the man who was shocked and dumbstruck.

Abhi looked at her and asked "Done with shopping ?" She just nodded her head and he asked again "You want me to call our chef ? so that you can talk to your guest " signaling towards Vamshi who was still staring at them both with his eyes wide open.

Shriya remembered there was a man who was sitting on the sofa and introduced him to Abhi "Ha, I forgot this is my cousin Vamshi Krishna". Abhi nodded his head and it was then Vamshi came back to his senses. He stood up and stretched his hand forward towards Abhi for a hand shake when Shriya introduced Abhi to her cousin "Bro, this is my boyfriend Abhishek Malhotra". Abhi shook his hands and said "Please sit". Then he said to Shriya "I will go take a shower now and you guys keep talking".

Shriya nodded and he went into the room leaving the two people outside. Vamshi was still in shock and asked her "Is he really your boyfriend?".

Shriya nodded her head and Vamshi asked "You are fine right ? This is not what I am thinking right ?".

Shriya smiled at him and asked "What are you thinking?".

Vamshi sighed and said "Forget it, it's fine as long as you are happy. You are happy right ?"

Shriya smiled confidently and he felt relaxed. He then said "I thought you liked Naveen ?, but I didn't expect this surprise ?".

Shriya said "Naveen is Abhi's employee, he takes care of me in college and also in Abhi's absence".

Vamshi said laughing "No wonder, how can he be a student, He is too old for academics."

Shriya said with an angered face "Of course, he is a student but Abhi asked him to stay by my side all the time, so that was why he joined in college".

Just then Abhi came out in a normal sky blue coloured cotton pajamas. He was completely different from his superstar aura. He was homely and cool. He sat beside Shriya and asked "You prepared lunch ?"

Shriya shook her head and Abhi said "Okay, I will order something, what would you like to eat?"

She said with a smile "Anything is fine".

He then looked at Vamshi and he said "It's okay, I am fine, I will leave soon".

Shriya looked at him and said "Didn't you say you wanted to see Preeti, she will here at 4 PM.

See her before going and have dinner with us. Even Naveen is also coming".

Then Vamshi nodded his head hesitantly and looked at Abhi who was looking into his phone "Anything is fine for me too".

Abhi asked "Is vegetarian okay ?" and the latter nodded and Abhi placed the order. He then stood up and said "Let's eat something light,".and he went into the room.

Vamshi asked "He really cares about you ?" and she just nodded. Shriya asked Vamshi "So, how did you do in abroad?".

Vamshi said "I went straight to Australia because of a project and I worked on it for three years and meanwhile I went to all the tourist places and captured each and every scene in my camera".

Shriya "You can't change right?", and Vamshi said with a beautiful smile "Let me show you".

He then pulled his bag from under the sofa and took out a Sony 7R from it. He then showed her all the pictures he had captured on it. There are many pictures of birds, lights, fruits and vegetables and so many other beautiful landscapes.

Shriya was so excited to see them and she complimented him "You are still so passionate about photography" and gave him a thumbs up.

Abhi came out and looking at the woman who was giggling like a small kid his heart melted and he came to sit beside her.

Vamshi moved back a little instantly and Abhi asked her "What are you so happy about ?".

She replied "See how beautiful these pictures are. Such a beautiful place".

Abhi looked at the picture and said "We will go there once we find time".

Shriya shook her head "I was just saying". He just nodded and said "I will go arrange the dining table, Food will be here soon".

She said "I will help you" and he refused "You guys continue".

He didn't even say one word to Vamshi as if he couldn't see him there. Saying so he went into the kitchen.

Vamshi who was observing everything said after Abhi left "So the girl in the news recently was you ?".

Shriya knew her cousin was talking about the picture where both Abhi and she was kissing each other and it was the one that got leaked to the social media. Every one in the nation knew about it, it was no wonder Vamshi knowing about her. Thankfully her face was not exposed to the public.

She knew he will ask that question and she decided to answer everything truthfully. Afterall being in love with her man is not a bad thing. So she said "Yes, it's me".
