My Love Story : By Abhishek Malhotra 76 Her Past 1

Rahul looked at his brother and thought back to what he was talking to Gouthami on phone before going to Preeti's room. He frowned and said "Ahhh!" and pressed his temples with his fingers.

Abhi asked with the same calm expression "When are you planning to tell mom or do you want to keep it a secret from her forever," with these words the expression on Rahul's face changed to sad ones, but Abhi continued "You can't be irresponsible like this forever. How do you expect Gouthami to believe you and walk beside you for the entire life."

Rahul looked at his brother and said calmly "You know bhai , I never wanted to take up our family business. I just wanted to follow you in everything you do. But you know mom and Gouthami want me to take up business."

Abhi nodded and said "I know but you can't follow me for your entire life. You have to become something in your life."

Rahul shaked his head as if saying 'no', he then said "Why not ? what's so wrong about following you. I just wanted to help you. That's it. I have decided what I should with my life." He then looked in the other way.

Abhi understood that he should not talk to his brother anymore regarding this matter. So he changed the topic, "how did you find that about Preeti?".

Rahul looked towards the floor and said "I was on phone with Gouthami and then I saw a few stains on her night dress and when I asked her, she told me she was having a stomach ache. So I just guessed and when I asked her to tell Shriya, she asked me not to tell as it might fright her sister."

Abhi nodded his head and said "hmm" and Rahul said with an admired expression "She is such a cute girl".

Abhi nodded his head again and said "She is".

Just then Shriya walked out of her room and saw the two brothers sitting there on the sofa. She sat beside Abhi and placed her head on his shoulder.

Both Abhi and Rahul were shocked and then looked at her. Her eyes were moist and tears started to roll down from her eyes to her cheeks. Abhi looked at her with a concerned expression and asked her "What happened ?".

Rahul excused himself from there and went to his room. After a while Shriya straightened and leaned back on the couch. Abhi was just gazing at her and was silent for the whole time. She then looked at him and said "Sorry, suddenly I missed my mom so much and sorry I couldn't control myself".

Abhi placed his hand on her head and patted her gently. He then said " It's okay. Don't worry about anything. I am there for you", he consoled her. She nodded her head in agreement.

After a while when she was stable in her thoughts he asked her "What happened to your parents?"

She looked at him as if she was hesitating to tell him and he was about to say, 'let it be', she answered him "Five years ago, we lost them both in a fire accident."

She then looked towards the floor and said "At that time I have summer vacation. Preeti was in her school and I went to pick her up from school in the evening. When I went my parents and my brother were there at home. I went to my friend's house first and told my parents that I will pick Preeti up from school. After picking her up , we returned home and when we reached there," she choked in her throat and kept silent for a while and again tears rolled down from her eyes and fell onto her cheeks and Abhi wiped the tears with his thumb fingers. She looked at him and continued "My house where we used to live happily, enjoy everyday, my parents and my brother, nothing was left except the ash and burnt house.This all happened in two hours. "

"Nothing was left. Everything we ever had all became ash. "
