Chapter 328 - You are so fuzzy!

Several newspapers were lying around scattered on the coffee table.

Charan took the one from T country and casually filliped it over. The headlines read, "Assassination attempted on the Minister… assassin shot to death at the scene of the crime."

Charan could guess the said assassin should have been Aleesha alias Darcie. He knew Shreya asked to make it clean and legal when she handed over Darcie to the T country…

There was also a local newspaper that informed that the trials for the syndicate were over and the final verdict will be given in the next session which was scheduled 2 weeks from now.

Even though Abhishek testified as a witness, he actually pleaded guilty to all charges and did not accept any plea bargain. So, he will be charged with everything without any concessions. The same went for Abhimanyu. Only Naren was still pleading for bargains out of the court.

Malini had liquidated the company and started one of her own. The business and the operations of her old company were spit-up and taken over up different small level entities as arranged by Shreya… so, nobody lost their job even though most had to suffer from pay cuts and delay in payments. But the employees seem to be okay with it as long as they did not lose their job given how volatile the economy was at this time.

But since a lot of preparations were done in advance there were no major blowbacks.

So, once the verdict is out, Shreya will be able to put all of this to rest.

Shreya walked down from her room in her usual jean and sweets. Charan couldn't help roll his eyes as he went to meet her halfway…

"Hey, where are you going?" Shreya asked but never got an answer… Instead, Charan dragged her back into her room and left her near her bed, and walked towards the closet.

"You are not going to a marriage dinner party in a sweatshirt," Charan said looking around in the closet.

Shreya rolled her eyes but also gave him a mocking look as she said, "And you think you can find anything else in there…?"

Charan was having a headache. He really did not know how she survives only on sweats and tees. Other than hoodies and several sleeveless tees for summer, there was nothing else in there… until he saw an uncovered package stuffed in the corner.

"I indeed did find something else…" Charan showed off with a smug smile.

This was not something she bought for herself, obviously. This was something he had gotten her… and as always, other than sweats, everything else gets stuffed to a corner before it gets distributed to someone else around her.

After a while of trying, Charan had stopped.

"Seems like one of my purchases survived!" Charan said proudly taking out an A-line sleeveless kurta top that had a deep center slit.

It looked classy and neat. It had extensive embroidery that looked elegant. Even if it is not all dressy, it was still a far cry from her sweats.

Shreya gave him a dirty look but still took off her sweats and put on the kurta quite reluctantly. And Shreya being Shreya, she did not even bother to send Charan away.

"Happy?" Shreya sarcastically asked flaring the kurta by holding on to both ends of the kurta.

Charan rolled his eyes but then gestured her to come near him.

"What?" Shreya asked coming closer. He reached out and took out the band that was holding her hair up above her head into a messy bun. He then ran his hands through her hair to fix it as best as he can.

"Are you done?" Shreya asked. Even though her voice was impatient, she did not really move a single muscle as she stood there and let Charan doll her up.

"Just a second!" Charan said leaving the room. He came back a few minutes later with one of Akira's earrings. She usually does not bother with accessories either. And she doesn't have one that can pass as formal.

Shreya obediently wore it and gave him a sticky smile.

"That should do…" Charan said at last.

"You are so fuzzy!!" Shreya complained. But even when she was complaining, she had happy-looking eyes. It had been long since someone had done this for her. Susmitha usually used to fuzz around like this…

Shreya would have to just be there and her mother would usually take care of the rest… Susmitha practically dolls her up as if she was playing with a Barbie doll or something. And her mom had a girly taste too… so, she would usually have frocks and skirts.

But when Shreya had lost her, she couldn't do it for herself… she couldn't bear to. There were just too many memories… and they were too painful.

The fact that she would have to do all that by herself hereafter because the person who had done it for her is no longer in this world and that person was also her mother… she did not know how to deal with something like that.

So, she subconsciously started avoiding anything that involved dressing up or anything that reminded her of her mother. That was the whole reason why Shreya dresses up the way she does now… That was the whole reason why she does not like spending time dressing up.

And since her mother was the person who had always dressed her up, Shreya never ever bothered to learn all those things… she thought Susumitha is always going to be around to take care of it for her…

But when it became impossible, she did not want to learn.

But Charan doing it for her…

Even when she was still remembering the past, there was also a sense of warmth with it…

She found another person for herself to do these things for her… and this time she vowed to keep him forever with her no matter what. She was not going to let anything happened to him ever…
