My cousin 3

Kunal sat on the couch in his office and he was staring towards the table. On the small table was a small velvet box and it had a ring in it. It was the same ring which Shriya gifted him on his birthday. There was also a white envelope beside it on the table.

No matter how hard he tried to see or examine it, it was nothing but just a normal silver ring with an ordinary stone. It's nothing important or specific about it.

He then took the envelope and read the paper for the second time.

It was written in a perfect style that it looked more like a beautiful painting. It said "Sorry for late wishes Mr. Rajput. Wish you a happy birthday", it was normal for someone to send wishes on birthdays but what is written below the wishes is weird.

There was a single sentence saying "That was a beautiful ring that you wore on your right hand index finger at the party, but never wear it again or I can't guarantee the safety of it's owner."

He received the letter soon after he reached his room that night. It was placed on his bed. Kunal didn't inform Abhi right then. He first ordered his men to check who entered his room. The security at his place was so tight and fool proof that no one can enter inside without a proper access. Then how they entere inside is the important question.

He told Abhi only that morning. He didn't find anything regarding it even after going through the surveillance cameras. Everything is normal as if the box was dropped directly from the sky. He wanted to speak to his friend about this and ask a few questions.

When Abhi woke up that morning he saw a message from Kunal. He then decided to keep it a secret from Shriya, that was why he told her that he want to go to gym, he went to gym and then to office.

When Abhi saw the letter he understood that the letter was a warning for them. He examined the ring but didn't find anything peculiar about it.

After discussing about the matter and also what to do with Geetika, he returned home. On his way back he received a text from Naveen

"Sir, you have a guest at home, Cousin of Miss".

He asked Barun to investigate further about this and rushed home. He tried to give them some personal space as he know that being alone with a man other than himself for Shriya is a challenge, so he tried to see how she reacts to the situation.

Abhi went back at home and seeing her all cool but a bit nervous, he understood that the person has no ill intentions in approaching Shriya. He left them alone.

He then went into his room and went through the types of silver and its composition and the different types of stones. He felt something is wrong with that ring and it is not just a simple ring but he couldn't pin point what it is exactly.

He then arranged the table and the food arrived just in time. Shriya took the delivery and she went to help her man. Vamshi looked at the adorable couple who were immersed in their work. He felt happy for his cousin.

He thought "This little girl faced so many problems at such a young age and now she can be happy".

Shriya called Vamshi to have lunch, he then went and saw the entire table was filled with so many delicious dishes. He sat beside Abhi while opposite to him sat Shriya.

Shriya served the food for both of them while Abhi poured water for all of them. Vamshi realised that most of the dishes were Shriya's favourites. There were so many healthy foods also and Shriya served only those vegetables and low calorie food with wheat to Abhi. They were in complete harmony and understands each other even without speaking.

Vamshi is the kind of person who can mingle with others easily and he tried to talk to Abhi. It's not like he wanted to suck upto him, but it is just that he is a very easy going and friendly person.

Abhi asked Vamshi about his profession and the other details. He replied and both men talked with each other. They had a good time at lunch.

It was 2 pm when they completed the lunch. Abhi called Rahul and the latter said he will be there in time. Shriya started cooking, while Abhi washed the dishes while Vamshi cut the vegetables.

They were preparing food for the dinner. Abhi likes Preeti and he dotes on her. He asked Shriya to prepare all her favourite dishes and he sent Naveen to get cake and ice cream for her.

Vamshi also felt happy and comfortable with them. After working for two hours everything was prepared and they sat on the couch relaxing and talking to each order.

Just then the door bell rang and Shriya opened the door. Preeti was there standing infront of the door. She was wearing a pair of light blue torn jeans and a white t-shirt. Her hair was done into two cute braids and she had a pair of white ear studs and she adorable.

As soon as she saw Abhi she ran up to him and jumped into his arms ignoring her sister who stood waiting for her. He held her in his arms and pecked on her lips. She giggled and asked in a cute voice but she pouted "Why didn't you tell me before leaving yesterday?".

Rahul who was behind her was smiling brightly and complained "She ate my brain the whole night asking all this and that. She beat me up and even bitten me".

Abhi was laughing and Preeti glared at him and said "He is lying", to which Rahul replied with a stern face showing his left hand wrist "I still have those tooth marks, you crazy puppy".
