My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 356 Autism 1

Abhi smiled while pinching Preeti's cheeks lovingly and said "You are always my little princess and my only pretty angel. She can't beat you in cuteness". Shriya pouted and Preeti giggled.

Rahul nodded his head and Preeti said to him with a teasing smile "And you are going to have your own cute baby soon and why bother me. I am fine with Yash." She turned towards Yash and said "Right".

They high fived each other and laughed with bright smiles. Everyone smiled and the men sat on the couch listening to Preeti's funny stories. They felt like their tiredness was all gone in an instant.

During dinner both Yash and Preeti ignored others who are looking at them with smikes and they started playing and talking with each other. Abhi felt happy when he saw Yash being all happy and all his worries flew away at that moment.

After dinner Abhi went to his study to deal with some issues and Shriya was busy with her work too. By the time he entered the room after finis.h.i.+ng the work she already washed up and sat on the bed playing with her phone.

Abhi walked straight into the bathroom and washed up too. He sat on the bed and said while holding her face lovingly in his both hands "I can't be anymore thankful to Preeti, she really is the princess and angel who came to wipe off the worries of our family".

Shriya understood that he was talking about Yash. Earlier she observed Abhi and she could sense his feelings.

She said "I remember now everything. I met Yash back then and Sony told me that you and Kunal were the ones who met with that accident."

He nodded and said "It was you and Varun who saved Kunal. Back then he lost so much of blood and it was a critical position for him and if it wasn't for you guys, he wouldn't have made it out alive that day. "

She nodded and asked "So you liked me because of that, because I helped your friend". There was disappointment in her tone and sadness covered her face.

He poked her nose and said with a smile "Idiot, I fell for you even before that. Exactly two days before the accident I saw for the first time and you were beating up some guys and your confidence was amazing."

"I saw a man who was standing behind you and he was smiling ear to ear watching you and I felt jealous when you walked to him and hugged him."

Shriya looked at him with a weird expression and he said "Yes, I felt jealous of your brother because I don't know how was your brother. I saw how proud he was of you and then you smiled at him sweetly and that one beautiful smile is what made me fall for you so hard."

Abhi's flattering words made her heart skip a beat and she slapped against his shoulder playfully "Stop it".

She buried her face in between her hands and he pulled hands into his and said looking into her eyes "But when you helped my brother and my friend, I understood you are not only beautiful but you also have a beautiful heart".

Shriya asked out of the blue "What's wrong with Yash ? he seemed a bit abnormal."

Abhi sighed and said after taking a long breathe "Yash have autism."

She looked at him dumbfounded and he explained "He is a special kid. He is innocent and he has a heart of a kid. He likes to play, eat and stuff but he is also a gifted child."

She looked at him with shock and he continued "Yes, he is very talented and he has got a great memory with an IQ of 125 and above. He can remember each and every detail he saw, learnt or heard and he is good at studies too. He completed his masters from a renowned world cla.s.s university with distinction."

Shriya asked "Then what's wrong?" and Abhi said and his face is no longer excited like before "But as you can see he stutters sometimes and when he is in pain, fright or even in happiness and any kind of extreme emotions his stutter increases and he can't speak till he calms down".

Shriya remembered something and said with a nod "Right, when I first saw him crying, he couldn't say anything. It was only after he cried to his heart's content and after calming down a bit he told his details to me."
