"She is mine.... Don't you dare touch her"....7

That afternoon

Shriya and her friends reached a nearby shop where lab coats and other lab equipment are sold. Though the shop is not so big, she found everything she wanted in it. Both Shriya and Sony bought the labcoats while Brahmini said she already has one at home. They all bought the fractional weight boxes, gloves, lab glasses, sanitizer etc. After buying all the things they needed, they planned to have ice-cream. So they headed to a nearby ice cream parlour. First the driver wanted to wait for them in the car but Shriya insisted that he should also have some. So he occupied the table which is two tables away from them to give them some privacy. From the talks of the three, he already understood that they knew about Abhi and are forcing Shriya to get them an autograph, while Shriya kept repeating of not knowing him well.

Shriya ordered four vanilla flavored ice creams. They were all eating when a man in a black t shirt and a pair of blue jeans came and sat with them in the same table. Shriya looked up to see it is none other than Vishnu. He sat there and smiled provoking at her. He then said to Shriya "Hey hiii long time, you look great after this make over. He must be treating you well, after all, you are good looking. So how is he in bed, did you enjoy yourself. Ha You must be lucky, afterall not every women gets the chance to sleep with Abhishek Malhotra", he whispered the last sentence looking at her friends. Shriya's face fell with shame and her friends were in shock trying to process the man's words. Just as he was about to continue his insult, a hard slap fell on his left cheek and there stood the driver.

Though he is a driver, he is a 6 feet tall man, well built and also a handsome man. Abhi appointed him not only to be Shriya's driver but also personal bodyguard. He was late to the scene because he went to pay the bill and to call his friend.

When he came back to the parlour, he saw a man sitting with his madam and her friends. He then called Abhi, while approaching them, but when he saw their faces he understood something is wrong. He didnot hang up on Abhi and put his phone in his pocket, so he could hear all the things Visnhu has said to Shriya. He then threw a slap against Vishnu's face taking the latter by surprise and shock. He catched Vishnu's collar and dragged him off the chair. Fortunately there were not many people in the parlour. He then said "How dare you treat our madam like that? you sure have a death wish. If our Abhi sir know about it, you are dead. I really hope I will be in charge of beating you to death, for now, rest here," he then dragged Vishnu to the parking lot and threw him in the car. All the girls are in shock and did not move an inch from their seats. The driver then returned to them and asked them if they are ready to leave. They nodded their heads and followed him with their belongings. Shriya stopped in her tracks and the driver looked at her. She said "promise me that you will not say anything to Abhi". The driver knew that Abhi has been on phone with him from the start, so he didnot want to lie to Shriya. So he said, "sorry mam, I can't keep secrets from sir". Feeling rejected she stood there, just then another van came into the parking lot and Vishnu was shifted to that van. Then entered two cars and the driver said to Sony and Brahmini that they will be dropped off at their homes in them. They said bye to their friend trying to analyze the situation. Shriya then hopped into the backseat of her Audi R 8 and rested her head on the window glass and started crying.
