34 A New Love Story 16

Shriya sat in her bed room which isa way bigger than her previous house. She is in deep thought, though Abhi has provided her with everything she has ever needed and given her assurance that she is the most important person in his life she still couldnot believe all this. She thought that Preeti missingher examinations will be a waste as it might be a waste of her one academic year, she wanted to discuss it with Abhi and wanted to ask him to let Preeti write the examinations for this academic year but she doesnot have the courage to ask him.Already Abhi has given themeverything and she doesnot want to ask for anything more.After a deep thought she went to Abhi's room and stood there for a while. After a conflicting thought she knocked on the door andwent inside.Abhi is in his study which is connected to his bedroom, working on the laptop, he then looked up after hearing the footsteps approaching him and saw Shriya standing there a little tensed. He stood up and walked towards her and stood right infront of her with less than ahalf foot gap and stroked her loose hair and asked tenderly "what is it ?".She then looked up and said hesitantly

"I know whatever yo do, you will do it after a great thought, but I think Preeti should attend school and give an attempt to the examinations, or else it will be a waste of her one academic year. "

Abhi after a small thought said with a smile on his face "You thought that I will just waste a year of her education, don't worry she will bepromted to higher class, I will take care of it. "

"But I still think it is okay for her to write examinations and she is in her perfect health so..... " Shriya said as she could not force him and said after alittle while "If you think she could not attend that school we will stay at my old place for a while...." she again trailed of her sentence and looked upto see a change of expression on his face. Though his expression changed from gentle to anger, he said with a little smille " Okay if you think that it is good for her, Its fine with me. But let me tell you think of what you wanted to do and I will give you only 24 hours time, think carefully and let me know of your decision and I am not taking any no or any silly excuses for an answer" he said the later half of the sentence a little dommeneringly. Shriya felt a little afraid of his look. Just then he received a phone call and on answering the call his expression changed and he called Rahul to his room.Shriya stood there dumbfounded.
