Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess

"Hello", Shreya called out cheerfully. Charan could clearly feel her enthusiasm even when she is not in front of him.

"Hey," Charan said with a slight grin.

"I want to talk." Akira interrupted before either of them could say anything.

"Hey Akira wants to speak to you." Charan said and handed over the phone to Akira.

"Hello." A sweet clumsy voice of Akira came through the phone.

"Hey princess," Shreya called out. Her voice was considerably gentle.

"Hi, I am Akira." Akira introduced herself.

"Hi, I am Shreya." Shreya replied.

Akira asked straight off the bat, "Do you like daddy??"

Shreya was surprised by the sudden question but still said in very gentle voice. "Yes, I like him. I like you too." She couldn't help the warm smile that spread on her face as she replied.

Akira asked in a slightly high pitched voice, "Really??" But then after a pause she continued, "Then I will like you too."

Shreya's face instantly lit up like a Christmas tree. With great effort she contolled her emotions and asked, "What did you want to talk to me about??"

Akira gave her father a sly look and instantly rated him out, "I just wanted to say daddy misses you. He keeps staring at your photo all the time."

Charan immediately blushed and snatched the phone from Akira. "You little devil. So this is why you asked me call ah??" He scolded her by pinching on her cheeks lightly.

"I just thought you wouldn't say it on your own. So being the good daughter I am tried to help you." Akira sassed and walked away. Charan was rendered utterly speechless by his own daughter. His eyes couldn't help but follow her absolutely amazed. When did she even device her evil plan???

After stepping inside her room Akira suddenly stepped back and peeked outside. She then pointed at Charan's hand and said, "She's still on the phone. And good night." She then sternly shut her doors.

Charan quickly came back to his senses and took the phone to his ears. First thing he heard was the sweet sound of Shreya's hearty laughter.

"Did you hear all that??" Charan asked awkwardly. Tip of his ears turned red in embarrassment.

"Your daughter is very smart." Shreya replied once she calmed down.

"Tell me about it," Charan replied rolling his eyes with indignation.

Shreya chuckled slightly but did not say anything after that. She stayed quiet as she thought of what Akira had said to her. Just the thought of it sent her on an over drive. She was so elated that words got caught at her throat. On the other hand Charan was still not out his embarrassment so both of them stayed silent for a while when their own minds were far away. They could only hear to each other's breathing.

"What are you doing?? Are you busy??" Charan asked softly after a long while breaking the silence.

"No… I am done for the day. Charan, do you… do… " Shreya hesitated from asking.

"What is it??" Charan asked.

"Do you want to meet??" Shreya asked. Her voice was very meek as she blurted out.

Charan remained quiet for a while. He himself did not know what he ever did to make such a powerful arrogant woman to act so docile in front of him. But he felt completely defeated when she acted like that especially after all his yearnings to see her in the past two week.

"Okay. Where are you now?? I will come over." Charan said getting up from his place.

"No. I will come over. Akira is there. You cannot leave her there alone. I am actually near your place anyways." Shreya replied instantly. And the excitement in her voice was not concealable.

"Okay, I will be waiting." Charan said with a smile and walked towards the door. He sat down on the steps leading to the door and stared at his road end. A few minutes later, Shreya's black BMW turned into the street and sped towards him.

Charan chuckled under his breath and stood up. He went and opened his gates just as Shreya got down from her car. She galloped around her the car and came and stood right in front of him with a wide smile.

Seeing her act so enthusiastic and childish, Charan couldn't help himself. He extended his hands and ruffled her hairs. He then took her hands and dragged her inside and Shreya very obediently followed without protest.

"You want something to drink??" Charan asked making her sit on the couch.

Shreya shook her head and then looked around and asked "Where is Akira??"

"She went to bed."Charan answered as he came and sat beside her.

Silent ensued between them. Charan looked at Shreya intently trying to assess as to what was going on in her mind right now. All he saw was her extremely pleased eyes with a soft smile cracked at the corner of her lips with her head hung low. He reached out with his hands and tucked her hairs behind her ears. She had shoulder length hair which was actually jet black unlike in the reception.

"You know, when I thought about it I never really thanked you for bringing Akira back to me safe and sound. Thank you so much." Charan said sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me. It was my fault she was taken in the first place. I was just correcting a mistake." Shreya replied shaking her head.

"You did not just correct a mistake. You went over and beyond. I saw on the news what you did to Rakesh." Charan said with a smile.

When she heard him, Shreya pursed her lips and contemplated for a while. But then asked in a meek voice, "Does it… seeing this side of me… does it scare you??" She was extremely hesitant as she blurted out the question. She hung her head down without being able to meet his eyes. In her life she has to be cold. She has to be ruthless if she wanted to protect the people she loved. She had no choice. She cannot afford to lose any more people. And so far she did not really care of how people would see her but it was not the case with Charan. Their relationship purely hinged on how he saw her. If she sacred him off the very day she met him then there was no hope for any future. That thought made her nervous and slightly anxious.

"Scared won't be the word I would use. I was actually amazed. Oddly enough it actually made me proud." Charan said in a very soft voice while he extended his hands and lightly c.a.r.e.s.sed over the back of her head.

When she heard his reply Shreya looked up at him abruptly with a pleasantly surprised expression but that soon turned into a sparkling glittery smile that took his breath away.
