Chapter 16

" Why I shouldn't attend an interview in the RV group of the company?" I asked Arvind anna.

" If you trust your brother then don't attend an interview in that company," he replied looking at Karthik.

" Okay...I will not attend an interview tomorrow. Please don't keep a serious face now" I said to him.

"That's like my good sister. Go and sleep it's already 1 am. I will come tomorrow morning and we can go for a long drive. Be ready by sharp 9 am. Bye," Arvind said dragging Shreya away from Karthik and me.

" Okay...I am going to my room" Karthik left to his apartment whereas I went to our room.

After a few minutes, Shreya joined with me on the bed.

" Do you people shared the first kiss?" I asked my Shreya curiously.

" Stop teasing me, you devil." she closed her eyes.

" Okay, then I will call Arvind anna and ask him " I teased her.

" Yes, we shared our first kiss. Happy now. ..Let me sleep..." she turned to the other side blushing.

" Really....!" I exclaimed.

" Please...Vamshi is sleeping next door. Don't embarrass me" she pleaded me.

" Okay...Good night and dream about your BF" I grinned.

**********

The next day morning, we completed our morning work quickly as we planned for a long drive. But vamshi was sleeping like a log. I was trying to wake him but he was tossing and turning on the bed without opening his eyes.

I got an idea to wake him. I sprinkled water on his face. As I expected he got irritated and yelled at him.

"You idiot don't you know, while anyone is sleeping. You should not disturb them" he shouted on me.

I laughed louder with his words and poured a bottle of water on his face. It is morning at 8 am and he was speaking as if I wake him in the early morning.

"Really! I disturbed you?" I asked keeping an innocent face.

Suddenly he stood straight and twisted my right hand back and asked me to tell an apology to disturb his sleep.

" No, I don't say sorry to you....idiot," I said.

Vamshi twisted my hand more tightly. I hissed in pain, but still, he didn't leave my hand.

" Say sorry to me," he said.

" What is going on here?" Karthik asked us.

"This stupid disturbed my sleep, so I am asking to say sorry" vamshi replied without leaving my hand.

" First leave her hand," Karthik said with a serious face.

Vamshi immediately left my hand. I breathed in relief as my hands are free now. I quickly ran behind Karthik and started teasing vamshi, showing my tongue outside.

" You monkey wait there, I will teach you a lesson" vamshi shouted.

"You can't do anything to me when Karthik is with me, do you understand?" I challenged him even more.

I don't know why those words spilled from my tongue. I started trusting him more than myself.

" I will see how much time Karthik will be you to protect you?" he questioned me.

I kept dull face hearing to his words.

" Okay, first you stop the silly fight and get ready" Karthik stopped us.

"Where?" vamshi asked.

" Yesterday night we discussed the long drive. Don't you know?" Karthik asked him.

" Actually, I have to go to my relatives for lunch as I have to catch a flight this night. So please don't mind" vamshi answered.

"Please vamshi, come with us" I pleaded him.

When he said that he was leaving for the US, tears were rolling down my tears.

" Please angel, don't cry. Next time, we can spend more time. I promise" vamshi hugged me.

I cried even more. I will miss you so much, Please come soon.

" Sure, I will come soon. When I will bring more chocolates from there" he said.

" Really! How many chocolates?" I asked him excitedly.

Karthik laughed louder looking at me.

" You are unbelievable. Till now you are behaving like a cry baby but when you heard about chocolate. You are behaving like a kid" Karthik smiled.

" You don't know, she is crazy about chocolates" Shreya answered.

I gave a serious glare to stop her.

" Okay, okay sorry." Shreya holds her ears with two hands.

" So Priya is a chocolate girl" Karthik smirked looking at me.

Shreya and vamshi also laughed with his words.

Everyone stopped laughing with Shreya's mobile ringtone. She attended the call and replied everyone was ready and coming down. Then I understood it was none other my brother, Arvind.

"I think someone is very eager to meet their love" I teased her.

" Stop your teasing and come fast. He is waiting for us in his car" she walked quickly.

I and Karthik bid bye to vamshi and followed Shreya. First, we went to the temple as it was her birthday. We trio got down from the car but Karthik stayed back at the car. I called Karthik to come along with us. But he denied entering the temple. I pleaded for him to come but he was stubborn.

"Leave Priya, don't force him," Arvind Anna said.

"why?" I asked him.

" He doesn't believe in all these things. He believes only in hard work and honesty. " Anna replied.

That was true but How can he think like this?

" Hey, that is true. But we have to believe that there is the supreme power who protects us?"

"I don't believe it. Tell me where is he?" Karthik replied.

For a minute, I kept quiet.

" I found in you" I replied him looking at his face.

"What? How?" he asked with astonishment with my reply.

" When I was in danger, you helped me twice. So, I believe God sends you to help me like a guardian angel" I answered.

"Hope you believe my words now. Come with us" I dragged his hands.

Karthik silently followed me.

" That's my sister, you convinced this stubborn person" Arvind smiled at me.

We completed Pooja and stayed a few minutes in the temple. Arvind Anna and Shreya were looking like a lovely couple.

             *************

" Where we are going?" I asked them.

"Do you people went to Golconda?"Arvind Anna asked me.

"No" I and Shreya replied.

" Okay we can go to that place" Arvind started his car.

We reached that place. It was an olden fort with a huge garden around it.

As it is my first time, I was busy exploring the place whereas our love couple was busy with each other.

Till yesterday, they were not at all talking with each other and now they were desperate to spend their time with each other. Maybe this is the magic of love.

I came out of my chain of thoughts by a loud noise.

I turned my head to see who it was. He was none other than Karthik. He was fighting with some guy. I didn't understand why he always changes into a black mood. I ran quickly towards them to stop Karthik as blood was oozing out of that person's head.
