Chapter 461 - My hometown 2

Amrutha asked with a sarcastic tone "When you left this house, you held your head high and proud, then why did you come back now ?

You blamed my son and tried to ruin my family relations and when it didn't work out you ran away. Then what for you are here now. what do you want from us?"

Shriya and her friends were shocked with Amrutha's behavior and her attitude and hate towards Shriya.

Shriya stood silent but she didn't say anything. Sony mumbled "I definitely didn't expect this" and before anyone can anything Shriya said "That's because Vamshi bro invited me aunty".

Amrutha said with a smile "You did good Shriya. We were so worried about you. Good thing that you came even though it's a bit late now".

Everyone were stunned by her sudden change of behavior and only when they heard Vamshi's voice did they understand that the reason behind her sudden change in behavior.

Vamshi and her father walked inside and Amrutha asked them "What are you doing out when our niece has come home after so long ?"

Vamshi ignored her mother and went to sit with them. Even his father joined them but he made sure to send his wife away on some errand before that.

He then asked about the little girl's well being and felt happy when he heard she was going to school.

Vamshi asked Shriya "How is your man ?" and his dad looked at him questioningly . Shriya nodded her head saying "He is fine. He wanted to attend but had to go overseas for work".

Seeing her uncle's confusion Shriya said "I got engaged" and Vamshi nodded confirming the news.

Amrutha came out just then and asked "Where are you staying now and what do you do for your living ?" She didn't let her answer it and went on with her own questions.

She offered them all fruit juice but they didn't dare to drink it. They were all amused with her performance in acting and Sony mumbled so that only her friends could hear her "She is a great actress even better than Garima and Manasa Priya" and Brahmini agrred with her friend "It's a pity she didn't get to show her skills to the entire world".

Amrutha sat beside her husband and asked Shriya "I heard your parents have insurance and it's quite a huge amount."

Shriya said with a light nod "I just signed the papers and will get money in a short term". Amrutha said with the sweetest voice she could get "You can't handle such a big amount. Why don't you give it to your uncle and he will return it to your whenever you need ?

Your cousin is getting married and we are in need of liquid cash. Hiw about you lend us some money, It will be helpful for us also." She put her thought infront of them.

Vamshi couldn't hold back anymore and said "Mom, stop it. Enough is enough. That's her money and it is the money left by her parents for her".

Amrutha asked him with an angered expression as if she was wrongly accused "You stop it. I don't like the girl that you are getting married with. I expected a large sum of money as dowry for you, but you wanted to get married with her and her parents are against the dowry system.

I wouldn't have agreed if you didn't threaten me with your life. Now I can't get the dowry for you and now you are even trying to help that useless girl.

Moreover, what did I even say ? She stays alone and might not handle it all on her own. Moreover it's not safe for a young girl to hold that huge amount ?".

Shriya couldn't take it anymore and answered "Since when did you realise that I am a single woman and you concerned about my well being and safety is a joke".

Shriya was not the same young naive girl from before who didn't dare to offend others. In the past year she got her confidence back and also her real self.

She answered back to her aunt. She stayed silent until then because she didn't want to upset her uncle and cousin but she couldn't take it anymore as she can't let others step all over her.

She said confidently "I already asked a construction company to renovate the house and soon the work will start. I don't have any money and even if I did have, I will keep it to myself".

Amrutha asked "Why do you need so much money for. You stay alone and work part time.

I heard that little sister of yours is studying in a some charity school. Why do you need money ?"

Vamshi and his father sat silent. They wanted to stop Amrutha but they know how stubborn she can be and also aware that their efforts to stop her will go useless.

They didn't dare to stop Shriya as they felt they are not qualified enough to do that. They knew that they abounded their girls and for that they had to pay.

Shriya said "Who said I stay alone and is working. No, I am going to colleges as I decided to pursue my studies and I don't live alone either".

Amrutha raged with anger when she saw Shriya's attitude and yelled "Of course, you don't live alone. Earlier I heard you talking to a man on phone and you sounded so s.l.u.tty."

She then turned towards her friends and asked pointing towards Shriya "And you people, who are you all and what are you doing here ? what's your relationship with her ?"

Shriya stood up and explained with a sarcastic smile "Though I don't need to tell you all that, let me introduce them as uncle is worried about me".

She then said showing Naveen "He is Naveen bhai's friend and the woman next to him is his fiaancee and also my friend".

They both smiled at Rangarao and he smiled back. Shriya then said showing Sony "She is Sony, my friend and bhai's bestfriend's sister".

When she was about to introduce Barun he cut in saying "I am Barun Rajput, Sony's brother-in-law tobe".

Shriya then explained to her uncle "I am staying with my man's family." And as soon as she said this they all heard Amrutha "See I told you she is good at seducing men. She is staying at a man's place"..She didn't want to loose any chance to degrade Shriya.
