Memories 1

Shriya wanted to go to her hometown and Abhi already gave permission for her for that. They had to leave the next day. Three women along with Naveen and Barun left for to H city. They decided to stay there for three days.

Abhi had to go abroad for his shooting and he will have to stay there for a week. He was worried for his woman and also he missed her.

Kunal was busy with his shooting and he met Sony before she left for that village. He was busy and want to accompany her but couldn't. Her parents are worried about her going there as they lost their son in the same city. Pratap agreed to that plan only when he heard about Barun and Naveen accompanying them.

They booked tickets and flew to the city. It was only a short journey and took only two hours for them. Barun hired two cars in the city from a local company and booked an entire floor in a luxury hotel.

Soon after they reached airport there were already cars waiting for them and on the way to the hotel, Shriya saw all those familiar places, her school, college and the temple which she used to visit often with her parents and other places with her friends and reminded of all those beautiful childhood memories.

Barun sat on the co-pilot seat while his bahbi's occupied the back seat. He gave some space for Naveen and his girlfriend. So they used a separate car. They reached the hotel and saw Vamshi there waiting fur them at the entrance.

Vamshi greeted them as soon they saw him and said "Why stay here guys ? Come we will go to our house".

Shriya didn't want to, so she changed the topic and asked "Hey bro. Why are you here, aren't you busy ? How are you by the way ?"

He smiled and answered "I am perfect, see" and then he turned around so that they can see him and they all laughed at his behavior.

They sat in the hotel lounge and the two of Barun's men who they brought as their helpers went to take care of the formalities for boarding.

Shriya said "I have some work here. I mean I want to visit my home and other places. I will be there day after tomorrow, infact we will all com." She smiled but she looked determined about her decision.

Vamshi couldn't say anything after he heard her reason and asked "Why isn't Preeti here ? I miss her and wanted to see her. Actually dad sent me here asking me to bring you guys there".

She replied "She couldn't come because of her classes. As for uncle, I miss him too. But I have other work too". He nodded and said to everyone "Please make sure to come day after tomorrow, if you need anything just call me and they all nodded."

Barun said "I might need your help tomorrow" and the latter nodded "Anything and anytime brother". With that Vamshi left the place and they stayed there in the lounge for some time.

Barun who sat beside Naveen said "We can go to the insurance company tomorrow morning, Now you guys can go get some rest."

Shriya said "Can I go somewhere ? I am not tired at all and just wanted to see around".

Barun shook his head and said "No one is going anywhere especially you girls and definitely not alone." He saw her disappointed face and couldn't say no to her.

He said "Well, bhai don't like it. You are my responsibility as long as you are here." And after a few minutes he said "But if you want to go somewhere, we will all go and I can't compromise on that and even for that I need their permission".

They all nodded and walked to their rooms. Everyone took separate rooms. Shriya made a call to her man and as soon as he answered, he said "If you are calling me to complain about Barun them forget it, Do as he says you".

Shriya asked woth shock anddisappointment "Did he call you already ?" and the latter just said "Yes, he sent a text to me".

Shriya started crying and said "I wanted to go see my parents, my house. I am not intersted in this insurance money and stuff. I just wanted to see them once."

Abhi couldn't hear her weeping and said in a panic "Shri, don't cry. See love you, can go anywhere. I will talk to him, but just stop crying" but she didn't stop her sobbing.

She continued "I just miss them" and he said "It's okay baby. Just tell him where you want to go and he will take you okay" to which she nodded atlast and said "Okay".

He was assured only when he heard her soft voice. He consoled her "Baby it's okay. That's the reason I don't want to send you there alone."

She realised his situation and apologised "I am sorry. You must have been tired with all that travelling and hectic schedule. I will not bother you anymore. I just....."

He interrupted her saying "Shhhh..." and she stopped talking at once. He said "Barun's main concern is your safety and that's the only reason why he couldn't agree with your plan. I will talk to him but make sure not to go anywhere on your own.

Also make sure either Naveen or Barun are always around you. You are a good girl right. I will be worried. Please promise me that one thing." and she nodded her head like an obedient child.

Abhi then added "Yeah, If you want your house back just like the previous way, then make sure to inform Barun once. He will get all the necessary things done and we can build an exact replica of the previous one" and she almost jumped around with happiness.

She said "Is that possible. wow this is amazing. I love you, I love you so much. She knew he will not joke around about things like this and he just replied "Love you too".

She was about to hang up when she heard "Also no more adventures, especially Sony, Kunal is worried" and she promised "Okay, no adventures".

After a half and an hour time, Someone knocked on the door and it is Barun standing outside in casual clothes. He said "Get ready, We will go out. I will be waiting downstairs" and she said "I am sorry and thank you".

He said "It's okay. Just get ready. I will inform others too".

Abhi hung up the phone and his face showed so many expressions in that few minutes, relief, worry, helplessness and sorrow.

Garima Sharma who was sitting beside him said "You changed" and he looked at her with a question mark on his face.
