Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 358

Even though Charan was able to relate to it, he never fully understand… the way Shreya had reacted when they came back from the island. He had been patient with her because he could not see her suffer.

But today… he truly understood what she went through…

The nerve clenching dread, the despair, and the utter helplessness of the situation… the fact that you can do absolutely nothing but to just wait until you hear from them.

Even when every passing minute feels like torture, all you can do is summon the patience and wait until you can actually see them in front of your eyes.

And the knee-jerking relief you feel when you can, at last, hold them… But then the very next second, the absolute terror that eats your heart making you question yourself if they were really in your arms or maybe they were deluding themselves because you have had countless such hallucinations when you were waiting.

The trembling in your hands won’t go away because you’re afraid if you don’t hold them tight, they are going to disappear as if they were a figment of your imagination.

He never really understood why Shreya was so paranoid since they came back… but now he did. He also understood why she would cry so desperately that day… why she would cling to him or Akira so much.

So, the father-daughter duo stuck to Shreya for the night and the whole of the next day. And since Shreya did not have anything to do anyway, she was very happy to hang out with them. Anyways, she will drive herself crazy if she had to stay at the hospital alone and conscious. She would have probably discharged herself the first thing as soon as she woke up and hid in some hotel nearby if not for Charan and Akira being here…

She really was not the biggest fan of the hospitals. After all, she saw her parents dead for the first time in a hospital. They had kept them in a hospital till she made the identification and signed the appropriate papers since she was the direct relative.

So, having CHaran and Akira prevented herself from thinking where she was and having bad thoughts. They made the stay bearable.

But the problem came on Monday when she had to get back to the city… she definitely has to show up in the city by the time the court session will end… it was integral for the plan. And on top of it, the Chairman of the W corp. was in the city and she had an appointment with him for the night. And she promised a face-to-face meeting.

But she was met with a think wall of concrete… make that two… She was met with two walls of concrete. One small and one big!!

Both were stonewalling her… Her mouth was pretty much dried out completely trying to convince them to let her go. After a while, they completely stopped responding to anything she said making her helpless to the extreme.

She really wanted to bash her head on the walls… literally.

“Guys… please. Can you be a little bit more reasonable!?” Shreya asked exasperated.

Both Charan and Akira gave Shreya a look. Akira looked scared but Charan looked more angry than anything else.

“Sweety, can you go out and be with Uncle Adam for a second!! I have something to say to Shreya…” Charan said to Akira.

Akira did not listen right away as she looked between Charan and Shreya worried!

“It’s okay, baby. It’s going to be okay… we are just going to talk. Take uncle Adam and start eating your breakfast… we will come and join you just in time!” Shreya reassured her with a smile.

Akira nodded pursing her lips. You can see she did not want to go but she still did very obediently.

As soon as Akira left the room, Charan’s eyes lost their softness as he said, “I am not the one being unreasonable here Shreya… do you even remember what happened the day before yesterday?? You almost died!! But that’s not even the point… the point is that somebody tried to kill you and you are telling me you want to go back and confront the very same person, not even a day after??” Charan did not really dare raise his voice because he was afraid Akira would try to eavesdrop. But the gritting of his teeth and his cold eyes told a different picture altogether.

Shreya’s frustration also reached its limits as she said, “Do you really think I could possibly forget what happened? If you think so, let me clear your doubt… I do remember… I remember every last detail of that night… I can still feel the blood dripping down my head!! I cannot forget it even if I tried to… and because of that night someone dear to me is still in a freaking coma… and I am not sitting here doing nothing while I know the guy who did it is out there…”

And with that, both of them came to a stalemate as they glared at each other.

Charan let out an exhausted sigh as he sat on the bed rubbing his eyes with his palms frustrated as he said, “I almost lost you, Shreya… just like I lost Sam… so, I beg you… please don’t push me away now. Please don’t ask me to turn a blind eye while you go around putting yourself in danger!!” His voice was pleading so very humbly as if he was just about ready to cry any moment.

Shreya went near him as she hugged him rubbing over his head. She gently comforted him before talking, “I am not risking anything here, Charan. I know who I am dealing with… as long as I know that, I know what to do. Please just don’t ask me to let this go… because I cannot. And I am not pushing you away… if it makes you feel better, you can come with me wherever I go till this ends. I promised I won’t put myself in danger…”

Charan couldn’t help but tightly hold her. His arms circled her torsos with his head buried against her stomach. He hugged her for a very long time before letting go…

“Okay, then I am going to go with you…”
