It was the first time that Shriya came to Brahmini's place. It is located in a simple and a peaceful neighborhood. Her parents were also simple but they looked a bit strict.
Her parents welcomed her and Naveen and her mother offered them some coffee and she sat across from them. Shriya introduced herself and Naveen as her brother.
Shriya gave the invitation card to Brahmini's mother and said "It's my engagement next month aunty and I want Brahmini to attend it".
Her mother looked at the card and said "Sure. But where ? There's no address here ?".
Shriya smiled and Naveen said "Goa, it's a destination event."
Brahmini's mother looked at them with both surprise and disappointment and said "Ah, isn't it far ? I mean how can I send her that long alone. She never went alone that far before ?".
Shriya explained "No aunty we are going with our family" and Brahmini who sat beside her friend silent said "Mom, my other friend's are also going and there's a wedding of Shriya's sister and I am friend's with her too. Please mom".
Brahmini's parents are middle class people who are afraid to send their daughter's to far away places alone. So Brahmini had no other choice but to lie to them. It's impossible for them to send their daughter to Dubai with friends.
The mother looked at her daughter who was begging her with puppy dog eyes and said "Well, I have no problem, but as you are saying it's a week I have to ask your dad. Your dad has the final say in it. If he says no then it is a no. No more discussion."
Brahmini nodded happily and said "Of course, dad has already accepted to it. Thank uu."
They smiled in happiness and rushed to college. They had lots of work to do and they practically made so many rounds around the campus running from one department to other managing stuff. They get so tired after the college hours.
Shriya used to fall asleep as soon as she came home and Abhi also used go to office. His schedule was free from shooting as they couldn't get a particular location for the movie and he also had so much stuff to handle in the company.
A week passed by with their busy schedules and that week the results of the first, third and fifth semester are going to be out and students of those classes are very stressed.
Raj came to Abhi's office that day to discuss about the situation and after discussing for a couple of hours they came to a decision.
Abhi wanted to ask Uday to deal with the issue but the latter was out of town with his wife. So he decided to deal it himself.
After an hour a black Bentley came to a halt in the parking lot and then stepped out Abhi and Raj out of the car.
He had one bodyguard and a manager behind him and they walked straight to the reception. The secretary showed them inside then they went straight to the principal office of ANS University. The men waited outside in the car.
The man knew Abhi and met him many times. Abhi greeted the old man and the latter asked them to sit.
Raju said with a polite smile "Sir, I am Raju, I am currently working with Mr. Malhotra and I am here to ask for a favor from you".
Principal nodded and said "Sure, What is it ? I will definitely do all I can to help you".
Raju said while Abhi sat silent "Well sir, actually the thing is this. We are doing a project where Mr. Malhotra is playing the role of a student leader and the maximum shoot has to be done in a university premises."
He continued and the principal understood what he was trying to say "Well we already found a college for that and finished shooting a few scenes too."
"But we had a problem at the location and we can't shoot there anymore. If you can allow us we just....". He stopped mid sentence. He knew that ANS University is one of the prestigious universities in the whole country and it's highly impossible for them to get the favour.
The principal looked at them but there was not much change in his expression. He said only a single word "So ?"
Raju hesitated but said "Well, I liked your college promises very much and we also heard that there was a block which is very rarely used....." he cut again mid sentence.
The principal asked "Our students ? who ? Is it Shriya?".
Abhi shook his head and explained "No she has no idea about this. It's Naveen. We heard from him. He once mentioned it saying he found it by accident when he was doing some security check during the event."
Abhi said after a moment "We just want to ask you for a favor sir. If you are not comfortable or have any issues with this, we will look for another location. It's just that Raj felt it will certainly fit for our script."
