My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 317 Tonnes Of Work 1

She took it and opened to see an invitation card in all white with a golden heart symbol on the top with words printed on it

"Two loving hearts are getting united and making a promise tobe in love forever !"

"Save the date 14 th February as you're invited to the engagement of Abhishek Malhotra and Shriya Sheren".

The word Engagement was highlighted with bold letters while names were written in a beautiful calligraphic font.

At the end of the card were two golden rings intertwined in each other.

She caressed the card and said "Beautiful". and he said "Yes, it is".

She placed the card back into the envelope and said looking ahead "Mom and dad will be happy right?". Naveen didn't understand whether she was asking him or herself. But he a.s.sured her "They will be".

In the afternoon during lunch break Shriya, Sony and Brahmini went to the Chemistry department office. They hesitated a bit but entered the office of Dr. Kiranmai, head of Chemistry department who is also student counselor for All Bachelor's degree students in the university.

When she heard a knock on the door she just said "come in" and she didn't even raise her head from the papers she was going through before they came in.

The entire room was in a mess with all the papers scattered all over the table. The girls looked at the table and greeted her with nervousness because the professor looked irritated and stressed.

She looked up when she heard the girls and sighed with relief and said "I was about to call you girls. I need you to do something for me".

They looked at each other and said "Sure, professor".

Kiranmai said with her hands ma.s.saging her forehead "Very soon our University will be conducting an Inter University Science Fare in our University and we have to perform live experiments, give some demonstrations and also give some seminars from our department".

"There's tons of work to do and I am going crazy with all this stuff. Right now I am short of hands and I need your help to sort this out quickly".

The girls looked at each other and they first decided to tell her why they came there and get her permission.

Shriya said hesitantly "Mam, I want your permission".

Kiranmai then remembered that she didn't call for them and they must have come here for some reason. She asked removing her gla.s.ses and looking at them "Ahh, what is it ?".

Shriya handed over the invitation card to her mam and said "Mam, I am getting engaged with Abhi next month and we want leave for a week".

Kiranmai already opened the envelope and saw the contents. She smiled warmly and wished her "Congratulations".

Shriya smiled and said "Thank you" but the professor said "Why do you need a week time ? and what do you mean by 'we'. How many ?".

Shriya said with hesitation "Well we are holding the ceremony in Dubai, some security reasons and also Rahul is getting married the next day"

Sony said "Shriya, Brahimini, Naveen, Manvi and me. We have written a leave letter and we hope you give us your permission".

Dr. Kiranmai nodded her head and said "I will sign it later." and the girls said in unison "Thank you mam".

Kiranmai asked "Now could you guys help me ?" to which the girls nodded and she continued "Do you have a cla.s.s now after lunch ?".

Shriya shook her head and said "We don't have a cla.s.s now but later we have a biotechnology cla.s.s".

Kiranmai said "Well, after two days all the cla.s.ses will be called off for a week. I want you guys to perform experiments atleast one each".

The girls were standing there and the professor asked "Did you guys have lunch yet?" and Shriya shook her head. The professor said "Okay, go have lunch first and bring a pen and a notebook later."

The girls nodded and left the room immediately. They sighed in relief and Sony complained soon after she came out of the room "Why does she have to a.s.sign all that work to us ?".

Shriya nodded and sighed in helplessness and said "Let's go. I am sure that tonnes of work will be allotted to us."
