THE RICH DOCTOR VS THE WITCH DOCTOR

Chapter 43

Rishi was restless he wanted some fresh air so he decided to go for a swim,
The terrace door was open and he found Lara in the green house with lights on and moon door open she was going through some results.

"Jet lag?" he asked standing in the doorway

"Mmhmm, plus I'm excited for this case", she said

They have discussed many number of cases in the past but now when she mentioned shruthi as a case he felt hurt.

"Ohh Sorry Mr.Rishi, I meant Shruthi excites me", She smiled without looking up

'She still reads me', he smiled

"What excites you?"

"Her EEG and her brain mapping"

"YOU only told about EEG, you connected her to your Study machine?" Rishi was not satisfied, his voice told her

"Rish.. I'm sorry but you know force of habit, but its of great use, look!" she showed him

"This is her normal waves, when we are talking to her about recent events, but when we talk about you the area of remote memory also lights up"

"About me? but we have known each other only for 6 months"

"Not just that even though she says she doesn't remember you as we roll back the years, her area of recent memory lights up. Her love for you is so deep Rishi, even under hypnosis her brain remembers you."

"She is really doing this for me", He said in a low voice

"Did you tell her that you wanted to investigate your moms death?"

"No!" Rishi was thinking deep "She must have seen the files", he said

"What files?"

"But it's safe in the locker", he spoke to himself then his eyes lightened up

"Sam!", he said aloud

Lara looked at him with a questioning look

"Sam must have snooped in and gone deep into my mails", Rishi said

"You can sue him", Lara suggested

Rishi shook his head "That would hurt Shruthi"

Lara looked deep at him "Man you are changed", she said

"What?"

"I left a man who was emotionally unstable, a man who wanted to be taken care of, A selfish lover, a man child,who is now the opposite."

"I'mm sorry i hurt you", He said

"Wooow! Rish! that Shruthi is really a Witch, that word sorry, this is the first time I'm hearing from you",Lara teased

"She did do a number on me", he laughed

Lara smiled "if not for this", she pointed her ring "I would have fought for this Rishi, Cat fight", she laughed

"But I'm her's", Rishi said

"Don't let her Go Rish"

"I won't", he felt that his head and heart has cleared
