A Murderer and The Nurse (Slow Updates)

Part 21

TEJASSWI POV
I was damn tired and I really need a break. Wanted to spend some time under the sheets sleeping and watching TV but thought of having to go to Mrs. D'Souza and asked for leave made me nervous. After she had lied about Nikita, I hate her even more. But I really wanted to day off. I pushed open the door to reveal Mrs. D'Souza sitting on her desk talking on the phone "no I don't want any reporter in my hospital. Tell them to find another institution. I'm not gonna let that happen"

She noticed me standing in front of her "may I help you Tejasswi?

"Yes. I was wondering if I could have a day off. Umm... maybe in next week" I said her eyes turned back on her paperwork looking almost bored with me.

"What's the occasion? " She asked while doing her work.

I searched for sensible reason when I realized it's actually my birthday next week. "I am turning 24" I said

"Are you?" She asked and I nodded.

"Happy birthday" she said in a boring tone not even a smallest of smile forming on her lips. I thanked her and waited for her permission for day off.

" I don't know Tejasswi" She finally answered " a lot of employees are on leave next week because Kunaal was on leave for whole week in the beginning of September , so I can't at the moment"

September had been almost one and half month ago. Something happened that time but I exactly don't know what? I just shrugged out the thought turning my attention to her again.

"It's fine. Sorry for interruption" I said turning around to exit her office. It was time to supervise patient's lunch time. Stepping through the large door my eyes immediately found our table. But before I could go any further I felt a light hand touch my arm. I turned around and saw Kunaal. A small smile on his face. "Hi" he said. "Hey hi" I greeted.

"So what you did for whole week leave?" I asked still stuck with those thoughts.

"Ohh. How do you know? Well it was my birthday. And went to Delhi with my friends" He said.

"Ohh that's good" I said smiling.

"Umm. I was just wondering umm. I wanted to know if you wanna go out with me again?" He asked.

I was slightly taken a back. I hadn't expected him to ask me out again.

"Where?" I asked.

"May be a fun fair?" He said.

I was apprehensive to say yes right away. Karan's voice present in my mind warning me to be careful. Even though I have no doubt on Kunaal. I don't want to be one of those dead bodies. Ohh the bodies. That's what happened in September. I remember Adda told me about scientific assumption that beginning of September was the exact time of death of those girls. That means Kunaal can't be a murderer because he was in Delhi that time. I was relieved now I can go with him without any doubt.

"Of course. I will go" I smiled.

"Cool" He grinned.

"Cool" I replied. I turned my head and almost jumped. Karan's presence surprised me. But looking at him now his jaw and fist clenched. Eyebrows coming together in anger. I could tell he heard our whole conversation and he was not happy. His eyes bored into mine and for some reason I felt guilty.

"Hello Tejasswi" he said the greeting holding no friendliness.

"Kunaal" he said looking at him. I actually heard Kunaal gulped and he look frightened. "Is my guard back today?" Karan asked.

"Still sick" Kunaal said.

"Well this is going to be fun. Walking back to my room isn't it?" Karan said with sarcasm.

I actually feared for Kunaal. I noticed tension between two of them. Something wrong. Had Karan hurt Kunaal yesterday? I would have to ask Karan about it later.

"Well we better sit down before someone takes our table" I said.

They shared one last glanced to each other. Before Karan turned his attention to me. "After you" he said. I gave Kunaal apologetic smile and walked away.

"What the fuck did I tell you Tejasswi?" He said immediately after sitting down on our table." I told you to stay away from him and you are going to fucking fun fair with him?" He said.

"Karan calm down and lower your voice" I commanded. "And stop cursing so much"

"I can curse whenever the fuck I want" he replied roughly.

"And I can spend time with Kunaal whenever I want" I retorted in a mocking tone.

Karan opens his mouth to speak. "Let me finished" I said. "It is impossible for Kunaal to be the killer. So there is no reason for me to stay away from him" I said. Karan's eyebrows were knitted together in confusion and anger. "Why? " He asked

"Because he wasn't even in the town when those bodies were killed. He was in Delhi for his birthday" I said

"And how do you know this?" He asked still not believing.

"Mrs. D'Souza told me" I answered.

He seemed a loss of words trying to absorb this information.

"How do you know that's not just a cover up? He could have told Mrs. D'Souza that he was in Delhi and hide those bodies while she thought he was gone" He said.

"That's a good point. But I don't think he would have done that Karan" I said.

Karan signed looking down in defeat. "Will you at least be careful" He asked.

"Sure" I shrugged.

"But there is no reason to" I said and Karan looked up and when his eyes met mine again, my breath hitched at their intensity. It was enough to go my knees weak.

"Tejasswi I am serious. Kunaal might not be killer but I know he is up to something and whatever it is I need you to be careful". He said dangerously.

There was care in his eyes and once again my heart fluttered with his care for me. His gaze not letting me look away. His eyes leave me breathless. I just nodded in response.

"But Karan" I finally found my voice.

"Yeah" He said.

"Try not to kill him okay" I said. I was serious but Karan chuckled.

"So what's we are going to do today?" He asked.

"Wait I will be back" I told him and stood up before he could say anything and rush out of the room.
