Chapter 432 - My love story: Rahul 2

Shriya nodded her head but didn't say anything. She just concentrated her entire self on her ice cream.

Rahul asked "Okay sisla, now tell me what's bothering you about me ?" and she said after taking a long breathe "Well I had a thought" and he just nodded asking her to continue.

She said "Well, I was thinking.... you know your brother chose his career according to his choice and you have to take up the business which he supposed to do.

Don't you have any dream of your own and I also heard that..." she stopped mid sentence and heaved a sigh "Okay forget it, I like this flavour. It's so yummy".

Rahul smiled and said "Okay as for your first question yeah I did have one dream that is to become a singer and later I found out that I don't have any talent in that particular filed especially I am not good at any of the musical instruments. The actual realization hit me when I was in my college and when I became the worst performer in our entire music club in my freshman year".

Shriya smiled and he continued "Ya, true. I have always wanted to follow bhai's foot steps and I took acting classes too. But bhai found that I have no talent in it too. He made me join MBA and I understood why he did that. It is for my own security and for sake. I just like my elder brothers have a great IQ and was good at studies though I never learned much."

Shriya nodded and Rahul asked "What about your unasked question. What's more are you interested in ?"

Shriya hesitated but took a deep breathe and said in a low voice afraid others might hear her "I really like Gouthami. No offence but I heard you courted Gouthami for some particular reason to distract her from....you know.....". She knew Rahul was kind and a lovely person and it won't cause any misunderstandings even if she asked him.

Rahul nodded and said with an exaggerated face "Who told you that I courted her for bhai's sake ?" and she said with guilt "I am so sorry, i think I didn't mean that in a wring way. It's just a misunderstood". She was in a panic and wanted to the earth to swallow her up to minimise this embarrassment.

He shook his hands and said "It's okay, it's true anyway,...partially." He went to kitchen and brought himself a bowl and a spoon with some plain butterscotch ice cream.

She asked him with confusion when he admitted it "You did that for your bhai. Don't you feel angry at him that he is asking his younger brother to do something for him. He should be the one who should do it for his younger brothers".

Rahul laughed and mumbled "Good question" and continued after sitting beside her "Let me tell you my love story." and she nodded her head with excitement.

Rahul said "You know Sisla I used tobe a very big flirt and except for playing and messing around I didn't know anything. I joined college just because bhai asked me to. He completed his degree in distance and I wanted to become like that.

Bhai fell for you when he saw you for the first time six years ago and he told about this to me and dad. Grandpa found it later from dad but mom has no idea about this and she tried to pair him up with her close friend's daughter who is a doctor.

I was younger than Gouthami and she liked to spend time with brother and they used tobe childhood friends. I wanted to get rid of her from brother's life and I decided to flirt with her, of course I did all this because I wanted to help bhai and I didn't have any ill intentions and bhai had no idea about all this.

He would never ask me to do such a thing for him, Infact he was very angry when he found out about this later but after a while he didn't say anything, he let me be".

Shriya completed almost half of the ice cream but she isn't aware of that at all. She just continued listening without disturbing him. But she had this question on her face "Why didn't he stop?"

He said as if he read that question "Because unknowingly I fell for her very hard but it took me some time to realise my own feelings but bhai found out it earlier and let me be..... around with her.

Gouthami looks like a very silent and arrogant girl but she is very kind at heart" and Shriya said "I already knew about this". He said "Yeah, others will misunderstand her but only people who knew her very close are the only ones who knew her real self" and Shriya commented "She is just like your brother".

He nodded and asked with enthusiasm "You oberseved that." and she nodded and he continued "That was the reason why mom thought they will make a perfect couple".

Shriya felt down immediately and Rahul said "Don't take these trivial matters to your heart. She is my wife and bhai is your man". and she nodded and smiled happily when reality stuck her and she thought to herself "How can I be jealous of her. I must be crazy to think so."

Rahul said "She looks indifferent and insensitive to others because she was grown up in such an strict atmosphere. Gouthami's parents were both neuro surgeons and they are the best in the industry and even listened among the top ten.

They wanted Gouthami to follow their footsteps. But she always wanted to become a fashion designer but couldn't because of their pressure on her."
