Chapter 431 - My love story: Rahul 1

They reached home and went to her room to change. She decided to take a nap as she felt tired. Abhi went to his study to deal with some papers.

She came downstairs for lunch and saw Abhi waiting for her and he already changed into some loose shorts and a t shirt.

Gouthami also went downstairs and they all seated to have lunch. Just then Rahul walked inside in his formal dress with a shopping bag in his hands.

Gouthami saw him and her face lit with happiness. Abhi looked at him too and Shriya said with a smile "Come join us".

Rahul nodded and asked a maid to put the boxes in fridge. Gouthami asked worh expectation and enthusiasm "Did you bring it ?" and he nodded and said with a gentle and loving smile "But you can have it only after lunch". She pouted but nodded.

Shriya looked at him and said "She wanted to eat some weird flavoured ice cream, so I went to buy it, you see she has cravings" He then heaved a sigh and said "It was so hard to find, I almost searched each and every shop in the city. Poor me". He made a pitiful face.

Gouthami said with an annoyed tone "Thank you, but it's not me who wanted that flavor, it's your baby". Shriya smiled and said with hearts in her eyes "So sweet" looking at them with a smile.

Abhi asked with a staright face "Do you want a baby too. I can make that happen" and she choked on her own food. She wondered "How can he say something like that with a straight face".

Rahul heard this and teased Shriya "Don't worry sisla. Bhai won't i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.e you for at least two more years. So enjoy your honeymoon phase".

Gouthami slapped him across his shoulder and he made a pout. Shriya just blushed but didn't say anything. Rahul said "I bought your favourite too sisla. I thought it will be better if I brought one for everyone especially that little witch and Yash bhai. I can't bear their nagging and whining".

Shriya smiled and said "Thank you Rahul." Abhi said "I have to do an interview today and will be back in the evening. Grandpa will be here at midnight so don't worry and prepare for your exam" and Shriya nodded her head.

Soon after lunch Abhi received a call and it was none other than Naveen. Shriya looked at her man as soon as she heard the name. She thought "Isn't he wuth Brahmini ?"

Abhi looked silent and after listening for a while she heard him say "Okay, if you are fine with that. Then I will ask someone to send you the schedule."

After he hung up the call Shriya looked at him "What's bhai saying ?" and he said "I gave him a leave but he wanted to accompany grandpa and I let him be".

She said just a "Oh" and after lunch Abhi got ready to make a quick trip to his office. Rahul said while scratching his head "I will accompany you after some time. My stomach is upset".

Abhi said in an indifferent tone "Don't slack off" and Rahul nodded "I will be there in two hours on mark" with that he made a salute pose to his brother and the latter laughed it off.

Rahul went to his room with his wife and they spent a good time with each other. Gouthami was feeling lonely and she felt like crying and it was all because of her mood swings.

Rahul came out after a hour and an hour with Gouthami and they sat on the couch in the living room.

Shriya came downstairs as she couldn't concentrate on her books. Shriya smiled and went into kitchen to get some snacks to munch on.

She saw Rahul bringing ice cream box from the fridge and placing it in a bowl. Shriya looked at it and asked "what's that flavour ?"

Rahul said with a sigh "Blue monster ice cream" and he continued "It's not so easy to find. But the other one, bottle guard flavored ice cream, I didn't know such a flavour ever existed".

She smiled and said "Ohh" and he asked her "Are you okay ?" and she nodded saying "Yeah, I am fine".

Rahul went out and gave the bowl to Gouthami and she was immersed in the comedy show.

He sat beside her and said after a moment "Will you okay on your own ? I want to talk to sisla about something."

She nodded and started eating her ice fraem and he went to kitchen to bring ice cream for her too. She was sitting at the dining table and he placed a bowl infront of her absent self.

She looked at him and he asked "What happened Sisla. Is something bothering you ? You can tell me anything, you know. I am all ears."

Shriya looked at him and pondered for a moment hesitating and he said "Okay fine. Enjoy this peanut butter ice cream your favorite".

She thanked him and took a scoop from it and her entire face relaxed with the taste. She looked at him with a smile and he said "Now you have to tell me that you ate my ice cream".

She smiled and said "Well I was just having some trivial thoughts about you and your brother".

He looked at her and asked pointing his fingers towards himself "Me ?" and she nodded.
