Chapter 414 - Forgive him

Shriya and Sony are having lunch with the family and they are happy with that family time. Naveen said to both of them "I wanted to say something to you guys".

Both the girls stopped eating and looked at him as if asking him to continue and he said "I am planning to go to H city for Vamshi's engagement". Shriya thought "Why does he want to go to Vamshi's engagement ?"

Archana said to Shriya and Sony in a gentle manner "Naveen wanted to see his friends before his engagement" and both girls were stunned for a moment hearing the original reason.

Naveen said "So I want you guys to join me. We can go there, stay there for three days and we can return after the event".

Shriya thought for a moment and said "Even I wanted to visit my family. I have been thinking about that for a while now especially since my engagement day. I miss them so much and it's been six yeras since I last went there".

Brahmini said "It's perfect then. We can all go visit." Shriya said "But how is that even possible. We have practicals and grandpa will be here on Friday and after that we have exams".

Naveen said "Come on Shri, Elder Malhotra will stay here only for a week, he will go back to America on Wednesday and on the same night Mr. Malhotra will fly to Australia for a song shoot and will be back in twenty days. By that time we will be back and will also be writing our exams."

Shriya said "But still Abhi won't allow it." and Sony said with the same worried tone as her friend "Pa, he will not allow me to travel with you guys. He will definitely won't allow it".

Naveen said "Shri, you have to ask Abhi and I am sure he won't say no to you no matter what".

He then turned towards Sony and said "As for your dad, it will be a piece of cake. You just have to give him a proper reason and excuse."

Archana said to them "I think you guys have to pay a visit to them, they will be happy to see you guys like this".

Shriya and Sony became emotional and they were about to burst into tears. Archana consoled them and for a moment Brahmini became sad about all this and she lost all her enthusiasm and happiness.

Shriya and Sony left soon after lunch as they don't want to ruin the mood. They bid farewell to them and the elders blessed them before they left. Shriya thought that she should convince Abhi about this.

Archana hugged Sony and said "See you soon beta" and then she hugged Shriya and said with tears in her eyes "Sorry beta."

Shriya was puzzled for a moment and she looked at her with a question mark on her face. Naveen explained with a smile "Mom is sorry for not meeting you guys earlier." With that he patted his mother's shoulders and said "It's okay mom".

Brahmini followed Naveen's parents and his family to his flat and they had some chat. They packed their stuff and went to the airport.

Archana dragged Brahmini aside after they reached the airport. She said with worry "Beta remember one thing. Relationship is complex. Trust is something important in it but there will be times when your partner might lie to you. But before judging them or making some hasty decisions in emotion, think for a moment why they lied to you then one might understand the reason behind it".

Brahmini didn't understand why Naveen's mother was saying all this stuff to her but she just nodded her head obediently. Archana gave her number to her and said "You can call me anytime and I will listen to everything you have to say".

Abhi came back home almost at six in the morning after a night shoot. He saw Shriya sleeping soundly. After taking a shower he went to bed.

She soon woke up and saw her man sleeping beside her and he seemed tired with all the night shooting.

She remembered that she don't have to go to college for that day and embarced him in her arms. He smiled but didn't open his eyes.

She asked after makimg sure he wasn't asleep "When did you come ?" and he said "Just a few minutes ago". He opened his eyes to look at her bright eyes "Did you sleep well ?"

She shook her head and said with a pout "Didn't I tell you earlier. I can't fall asleep now without you beside me".

He stroked her cheeks lovingly with his fingers and said "Okay, let's go for a quickie and then we can sleep for some time".

She sighed in annoyance and said "You pervert" but she didn't resist him when he pounced on her.

Later that afternoon Shriya woke up and saw her man already awake and he even changed.

He smiled and asked "Are you hungry ?".

She nodded her head saying "I am starving. You are an animal" she cursed when she felt tired and her body aching.

He said "I promise, I won't do it till you complete your lab exams again. Are you happy ? Now get ready and we can have lunch together".

She nodded and hopped out of the bed and hurried to the bathroom. After a while both went downstairs and Gouthami was already having lunch all alone.

But she sat there alone and when she saw them both she said with a smile "I am sorry. I tried to wait for you guys but felt hungry".

Shriya and Abhi joined her and Shriya asked him "Abhi I want to go to H city".

He was a bit shocked with this sudden request but asked "When and why ?".
