Drunk Malhotra 4

Abhi was busy searching for the condominium which satisfies all his and Shriya's requirements. He searched for almost an hour and found a decent one in The Hyatt Towers on the top floor. It was a beautiful place with tight seciruty. Though it is simple it is very expensive as it is located in a decent neighborhood.

He decided to go with that place and called an interior designer to design and paint the whole condo according to Shriya's preference.

He checked the time on his watch and called Naveen. He didn't call Shriya directly because he was upset with her.

He didn't know what he was so upset about but he don't want to talk to her at that moment. When Naveen asked him whether he should pass the mobile to Shriya he didn't want him to do that.

When Abhi reached home Shriya already reached home and she was in her room. He didnot go to wish her as he did in the past, instead he straight went to his study and immersed himself in his work.

Shriya thought to talk to him during dinner and if he was upset with her she would apologize to him. But he didnot go to dinner as she expected, he asked the Housekeeper to bring his dinner to his room.

Shriya didnot get any chance to talk to him, she was silent the entire dinner and she went to her room and decided to study for the next exam.

A week flew by with the busy schedule of all people. That was the last day of her examinations and she decided to talk to him that day at any cost.

When she came back home Abhi was already home and he was sitting in the living room watching TV. In the past week days Abhi didn't talk to her much and not even at the dining table.

Shriya felt all uneasy and restless with his strange behavior. She has only seen his caring and loving side so far but not this cold side alteast not towards her.

Even when she came home he didnot look at her. She was upset and was about to go upstairs to her room when she heard him call her name. She was so happy and turned around to see him watching tv and he said without moving his gaze away from television "I want to talk to you, come to my study after dinner".

She was so happy that he was talking to her again. She said 'Okay' and went upstairs with all happy mood.

During dinner he didnot talk to her. As soon as she finished her dinner she rushed to her room, washed her face and went to his study.

She entered without knocking on the door and she saw him going through some stuff. She went to his table and stood by it. He looked at her and gave her the papers in is hands and said nonchalantly "Pack your bags, you will be staying in that apartment from tomorrow" he said this sighing towards the paper in her hands.

He didn't ask for her opinion, he ordered her to do so. She just nodded her head afraid that if she says anything he might get even more upset with her. He then said with the same cold tone "Just pack necessary things like books, other things will be there for you". She again nodded her head and he didn't say anything after that and she left the room with a depressed face.

She straight went to her room and sat on the bed. Just then Manvi called Shriya and the latter answered the call "Hello Manvi".

Manvi could hear Shriya's sad tone and then she asked "Hey, are you busy, do you have a minute to talk ?"

Shriya said " Yeah, go on".

Manvi : " I heard you are moving out of the Shanti Bahavan ".

Shriya nodded her head and said "Hmm"

Manvi was a bit surprised " But why ?"

Shriya : "I don't know, Abhi just asked me to pack my things".

Manvi : "What do you mean by you don't know, It must be you or else bhai will never do anything without your opinion ". Manvi said as if she was questioning her.

Shriya said with a guilty tone "Earlier I said that I am not comfortable here in Shanti bhavan and from then Abhi didn't talk to me much and now he told me that I should move out tomorrow".

Manvi was silent for a moment and asked "What about Preeti?".

Shriya suddenly realized that she completely forgot to ask Abhi about Preeti as she was so immersed in her own thoughts and worries and she said "He didn't tell me anything about it."

Manvi understood everything and said in a calm voice "Let her be in the house for a while and don't disturb her, If bhai didn't say anything about it just forget it and dont make him anymore upset by talking about it".

Shriya didn't know " But how will she stay alone here ?"

Manvi said "Don't worry she will be fine there, afterall Rahul was there to take care of her".

Shriya hesitated for a while but she thought it will be okay as Rahul is the one who cares for her sister and is responsible for her work, study and well being.

Thinking so she packed her things to move out tomorrow but she suddenly felt sad. She didn't like the idea of leaving him but she has no idea that he has other ideas in his brain.
