THE RICH DOCTOR VS THE WITCH DOCTOR

CHAPTER 31

It was 7pm when they reached the Farm house.
"Shruthi Uru can be a difficult, so I'm actually sorry to drag you all over.." He turned to see Her walking over to the house.

Urvashi Welcomed them with open arms. Kissing them and all smiles.

"What's this Rishi you are late I was expecting you for Tea"

"Sorry had an emergency", He handed her boxes of Pastries and Muffins.

"Prashanth was on time as usual", she smiled

Shruthi felt odd they were made to stand out with mosquitos swarming around them while their luggages were been taken inside by the maid. It looked like a punishment.

"Come on In", she could here Sk call from inside

"Actually he lost the Key thats why we are late", shruthi told Urvashi

"No way, His house is totally controlled by a control panel so even if the key is lost...", Urvashi was acting defensive

"Thats the problem mrs.Sk, since its been a long time without key, he forgot to safe gaurd the Handcuffs Key and when he started to search, it was too late", Shruthi winked

"Ahh... alright come on in, come in" Urvashi hurried inside not wanting to listen anymore

"You have a naughty mind", Rishi told her

"This is just a start", she smiled. He bend down to plant a kiss on her cheeks "I'm sure you will survive Uru", he whispered.

Mercina received Rishi and Ignored Shruthi and Shruthi ignored her

"Welcome to the family", Sk said "It's been so long since we hosted you", He held on to Rishis shoulder He then held Shruthis hands "Thank you for coming".

"Thank you for the invite", she replied

"Go on fresh up and join us, your same room", he told Rishi

The Farm house was warm and cozy and well ventilated it had a Kerala house look and feel. It was pest and insects protected on the inside. Shruthi liked the way the house was maintained, to give a vintage feel.

Their room was on the first floor, it had a glass covered sun roof and two large windows with an attached bath and a king size bed. The floor was wooden. Then whole house temperature was cooler than the exterior.

"You need to change", Rishi told her as he stepped out of the bath with a towel wrapped around his waist and Shruthi tried not to look at him

"Change But why? this is just for travel?"she showed her dress

"Uru follows European standards", he said

"then why is this farm house in India?"

"Come on Darling change, Please!" he asked

"I packed light I had no clue that I need to change for every half an hour", she frowned

"Let's see to that problem later"

"Fine you choose", she said

He choose a thin straped dark blue knee length dress with floweral print and handed over to her. "I will be waiting for you downstairs," he said "don't tie up your hair",he told her again.

The table was being set by the Maids Urvashi was supervising them. Mercina was chatting with the men there was laughter combined with aroma of food in the air. When shruthi came down Mercina and Prashanth were quite. The air was tensed. Rishi and Sk tried to ease out the tension.

Shruthi took her place next to Rishi. "Why do you have to wear a shrug over the dress", Rishi asked her in a low voice

"Too much of skin show, not good for the family",she whispered back and got up and went and shook hands with Prashanth. "WE have spoken very formerly before, maybe once or twice now I get to meet you at a personal level", She smiled
