Chapter 429 - Rich families are a mess 1

Abhi said "That's because of grandpa's doctor. He is an American and he doesn't know anything about Indian food.

Though grandpa is fine and healthy, he is still an old man in his late eighties and we must take care of him and his health. Mom is very particular about his diet and medicines and he isn't allowed to eat anything that's not on his diet chart. Strict rulez and always under check. Poor old man". Abhi shook his head with pity and a made chuù expression.

Shriya chuckled but she could see that something else occupied Abhi's brain though he is smiling and something is bothering him. During all these months of staying together with him she understood him a bit better than anyone else.

Though he might look cold and all towards others, he is a very kind and responsible person and he thinks of everyone around him.

He loves his friends very much and he can't see when someone around is not okay. He tries his best to do remove their worries.

He thinks of everyone around him and tries his best to treat them all well. He is the best elder brother one can have, a good son to uus parents, a good grandson to elder Malhotra. They are all proud of him.

A good friend to his friends and a great boyfriend to Shriya. He is a knight in silver armor for Preeti and a great mentor for his juniors and an idol for people who want to become stars with the help of their own hard work. Most of all he is a perfect business man who knew how to earn money. He is a perfectionist.

As everyone says Kunal and him are the best of friends and they are like brothers from different mothers. And everything connected to his friend is his matter and Kunal feels the same for his friend.

She asked him after a moment of thought "Are you okay ? Is something bothering you ?"

Abhi looked at her and said with a smile "Nothing much. I am just thinking about Barun."

She looked at him and he continued while focusing his entire concentration on the road ahead.

He said "I have a hunch that something is wrong with him lately. He seems tobe misunderstanding his brother."

She asked "You mean Kunal ? why ?" and Abhi shook his head and said "I don't know exactly what it is. Maybe it's just in my mind or I learnt much into it."

Shriya said "I know you won't think or doubt just like that without any particular reason. Tell me, I am all ears. I might not be able to advise you but I can listen to you atleast. You can trust me".

Abhi stroked her cheek with his hand which is on the gear rod and smiled at her showing his trust. He said after a moment "You know at first Rajput family were against Kunal's decision about his profession. They wanted him to take up their family business as he is the elder one.

But he was never interested in that and he definitely didn't want to become his grandpa's puppet. So he was head strong and his grandma supported his decision against other's disapproval while his father was neutral about it.

Kunal didn't care much about his grandpa as he never liked him but he felt sorry for his mother. Unlike him Barun was brought up by his grandpa and was very close to him. He respects and cares for him."

Shriya listened to him. Abhi never told her about these family issues of his or others. Now he is saying so much about Rajput family to her.

He said "When Kunal made a debut, grandpa asked Barun to make a promise. He asked him to take over the family business. He was very young back then and made a promise out of innocence and naivety. But even after he realised the weight of that promise, he can't go back on that.

But the truth is the family business is still under Elder Rajput's control and Barun didn't want to become a puppet to his grandpa. But he didn't have any other dream or goal because grandpa deeply engraved that promise in his heart.

Kunal couldn't see his brother like that. He wanted to do something for his little brother. It was then he learnt his grandpa is asking the young boy to do something."

She looked at him when his voice suddenly dropped and he said "Rajput family was involved in gangs for a while and they have got a super man power and he wanted Barun to take over that and Kunal couldn't allow it.

But he also observed that Barun got that fierce domineer just like their grandpa and he was a bit interested in that and he had got some knowledge and talent about it.

Kunal didn't want Barun to go through that wrong path and he was worried for him. He even blamed himself for that thing, saying if only he hadn't took over the business, his little brother wouldn't have to go through this."

Shriya never knew about all this and she was shocked. She never expected that from Rajput family and she felt sudden pity for both the brothers.

Abhi looked at her concerned face and asked "Are you okay ?" and she shook her head and said "Rich families are not actually what they look like right ?" and he replied "They are mess".
