Healed By Love

Chapter 18: Why so cruel?

Ruhi Singhania:

" First step, complete." Chris said.

" I am sure he will come to me soon." I said.

" He will. He surely will. Ah well, when's Advik coming."

" Until night maybe." I mumbled. It's been a month since we saw a gun and that file in Dad's study. I hired a lawyer the next day and we filed the case for all the illegal work he has been doing. We also decided that I need to take back Dad's company. After all the hectic procedures, finally a notice was sent to Randhir Dutta.

Advik in the meantime, two weeks ago went to Mumbai to see his work. I was handling my work from here as much as possible but it was hard to control everything from here. My whole schedule is messed up now.

" I am going then. We will meet tomorrow." Chris said.

" Okay and Thank you." He smiled at me and went outside. I went into my room and took a shower. After taking the shower, I went into the kitchen and made some pasta. After 15 minutes when it was ready, I went to the couch in the living room and opened my laptop to work just when the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID as a smile crept on my lips.

" I am missing you." I laughed.

" No Hii, Hello?"

" I am really missing you."

" Where are you?"

" At the airport, I will be there in 20 minutes maybe."

" Okay then wait for 20 minutes you will get to see me." He hummed.

" Did he contacted you still?"

" Nope. Not now."

" I am scared for you. Be safe okay?"

" You are just 20 minutes away, why are you so scared?" I stood up realising that my glasses were in my room.

" It's just that man is a psychopath."

" Don't worry you are anyway going to be here in some minu-" I stopped when I heard a breaking of glass.

" Ruhi, what happened?"

" I...I think there's somebody in here." I said slowly walking to the direction the voice came from.

" What? Inside the house?"

" I don't know."

" Do you have a gun?"

" No I don't."

" Fuck! Take anything that can work as a weapon and listen, be away at a distance whoever it is until I come. Okay?"

" Okay. Come fast." I said and took a knife from the kitchen. I walked to the front door and opened it slightly. Nobody was there. I silently walked out and went into the garden. Nobody was there. I went further. My hands were shaking and legs were walking so slow. I slowly walked further.

" Ruhi, Everything's okay right?"

" Ye...yeah it is."

" Did any other voice came?"

" No."

" Maybe you just heard." I stopped mid path.

" Advik."

" What happened?"

" There's a knife in the garden."

" What? What are you doing there? Go inside and stay in your room. Ruhi?" I couldn't speak when I saw the scene in front of me. There was a man in Dad's study. The room was dark but the flash light of that man's phone was lit. I hung up the call quickly and opened the camera. My hands were trembling very badly. The phone started ringing so I quickly turned it to silent mode. I quickly snapped the picture and went to the wall beside the ceiling-to-floor window. The window was broken and the pieces were shattered on the ground.
