My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 239 Treat Me Like Your Own Brother 2

Shriya shook her head and said with an annoyed expression "What are you talking about, you are not just an employee, to me you are a friend. But I am curious to know Why are you saying all this now all of a sudden ?"

Naveen said after a moment of thought "I wanted to speak to you about this for a while now but never found a suitable occasion or a chance. But from the two days, you are being a bit lost and you look like you are worried about something and I am worried".

Shriya smiled and said "Thank you for your concern but believe me I am totally fine".

Naveen said "Okay, I believe you but we are already on the topic so could you tell me what is bothering you lately. What's bugging your brain so much that you are being out of the place ?".

Shriya was taken back by his direct question and she didn't know how to reply to him. If she wasn't being he ignored her answer and didn't buy her lies. So she smiled and said "Me, worried, no, nothing like that. I think you read me wrong".

Naveen said "If you don't want to share then it's okay, but don't lie, I can see. I just hope that you are not being uncomfortable with Abhi, I mean with boss. And I really hope you accepted hum out of love but not because of your helplessness or grat.i.tude towards him for helping you or some like that."

Shriya was truly dumbfounded now with Naveen's guts. He overstepped all his boundaries just now completely with his words.

He also knew there may be a chance of him getting fired or even more like some ruthless punishment if Abhi were to find out about it. But he still choose to talk about it despite knowing she might complaint to her man about his rude and nosy behavior. He seemed indifferent on surface but deep down he is a great person who thinks about other's good.

"You have been s.p.a.cing out since the day Abhi was drugged at the party. I don't know what exactly happened between you two. But you are not being yourself. Not only me Brahmini also found that something's bothering you and she was also worried about you."

"She said you are also not paying attention to the cla.s.ses earlier and was zoned out all day long."

Naveen then said looking at the girl who was looking at the floor with her head held down. He said "I don't know if you treat me like an ordinary employee, a driver or a frined, But I think of you as my sister and can see her in you and you can ask me anything anytime without hesitation".

Shriya smiled "You people don't have to worry about me. If you people continue to pamper me like this, I will one day develop princess syndrome and completely depend on others, so chill I will take care of myself".

Naveen said "That's good to hear. But I have a advise for you. I just hope that you doing everything for Abhi is out of love and you are truly comfortablw with him. Don't take anything for granted. Be yourself and do want you really wanted but not to please others. We all support you and I will help you no matter if I work for you or not now or in future. But remember one thing you have to fight with your problems yourself and don't give up easily."

Shriya was shocked and dazed out again. She was thinking something else and seeing her like that Naveen called her by her name a few times. When she didn't react, he stretched his hand out and patted on her right hand which is on the table.

Shriya came back to her senses and looked at Naveen and her stare has something which he didn't understand. Suddenly her eyes became moist and she looked down at his hand which is still on her hand.

Naveen already knew Shriya is suffering with aphephobia and being afraid to make her uncomfortable he pulled back his hand and apologised immediately "I am so sorry".

Hearing those serious words, Shriya remembered something and a few tears rolled down her cheek. Naveen was frightened when he saw her crying. He didn't understand what he said wrong or what he did wrong. why was she crying suddenly out of the blue and what made her cry suddenly?"

Naveen said "I am sorry, Just now I was being nosy. aren't I ? Don't mind my words and just think you didn't hear anything".

"I didn't mean to ask your personal things or hurt you, but seeing you like that, I couldn't help but want to help you".

Shriya shook her head and said "No, don't be sorry. I just remembered someone who I was close to so much back then and your words made me think of him".

Naveen felt relived seeing her okay and asked her "Who is that ?"
