HIS SUCCESSOR

chapter 8

Aaryan came near Surat and riding too fast in highways.....  He noticed two cars which is actually following him for long time.. He thought it as normal but not now.... Aaryan speed up more and drive faster, but those two cars too accelerated and matched his speed..... Aaryan is constantly looking at those two cars and failed to look at the lorry came in front...

He realised his phone is ringing and connected it with car's Bluetooth....

Niharika relieved after aaryan attended the call “ aaryan! Aaryan” she called out him, but can't understand the response from opposite side as Air sound in background was distrubing....

“aaryan you're in danger, hello! Can your hear me?” she said again but can't recognise the answer

“Hello aaryaaannnn!!!!!” she squealed but abruptly stopped on hearing lorry crashing sound, Niharika became numb her nerves got cold on hearing such massive sound

“aaryan? Aaryan... Are you there?” she cooed in her low voice......
Her eyes became moist and she was in verge of crying.

Niharikha (monologue): He left? My friend, my only friend who listens to me everytime, who listen my complaints and problems without judging me.

Tears are streaming down from her eyes. Her legs went weak and her hands searching a support to hold her.

“Hey Niha are you there?” Her trance broke by the sound from other side. “ Huh” she gasped audibly. “Aaryan!! Are you there?” she asked “Yeah I'm. A lorry crashed with the car in way before mine” he replied.

“You're alright right?” she again interrogated. “yes. Niha disconnect the call. I will call you later” aaryan said and disconnected it.

Aaryan looked after the passengers of that accidented car and got them into ambulance. Later he came to his car and noticed that pen drive being missed.

“oh my goodness” he searched for it, literally messed up the entire car interior. 

He got out from the car and kicked it with his entire force, pouring all his frustrations.

“DAMNNITTTT!!!, ARGHHHH” some realisation striked him as he picked his phone and dialed his friend's number.

“Hello!Hey buddy are you..” the phone call abruptly disconnected, aaryan narrowed his eyebrows in confusion, once again scrolled his mobile to dial the number.

Meanwhile his mobile vibrated receiving a video call from his friend. He deliberately attended it, but noticed some stranger.

“Hey who are you?  Where is Aslan?” aaryan roared in frustration.

“Cool buddy! Cool down. Do you want to see your friend right? Here see” The person said while converting camera from selfie mode to rear mode..

Aaryan's eyes widened in shock after watching the scenario infront of him. His friend's entire house is blazing like a forest fire. Many people are trying to extinguish it.

“Hey what the hell!!!.....” the person stopped aaryan in middle and spoke up.

“you asked you need to see your friend! Did you get his view? Maybe not I guess so. How will you? when he was burned down into ashes. If you need come and collect it. Tch... Tch..Tch.... So sad for him. He died for sake of helping you. Well have a peaceful journey. Don't worry, your friend already had a one. Be alert maybe our boss's next target can be anyone among you officers” He warned and disconnected the call.

Aaryan is all traumatized in frustration meanwhile he noticed number of missed calls from Abhijit. He didn't dialed back as it is too late. Aaryan got into car and started it.

“In few minutes I was all went blank. I don't know what to do and what was that hell happened in these few hours. He literally tested my sanity level” Niharika said to Abhijit in phone call.

Abhijit,‘Thank god he is safe! But I don't know what's the reason behind his clue and why he didn't attacked Aaryan? Urgh! So many doubts to unfold...... And Niharikha from now on don't involve into these matters.... We will handle it. Focus on your career.’

Niharika, ‘From when you thought to get me out of this? Just now it's getting too interesting’

Abhijit,‘ Too dangerous as well. You don't have to look after these. If we need anything I will ask president to provide some other resources. Please put your entire effort and focus on cricket. You achieved that place after lot of struggles. Now go to sleep it's already 2 am.’

Niharika,‘Arghh! Yeah. Okay good night...’

“Good night” Abhijit said and disconnected the call.

Abhijit got up from couch and went towards his room meanwhile heard door knocking sound. He went and opened the door knowing it must be Aaryan.

True to his prediction it's Aaryan. Abhijit noticed his deep dark eyes with nerves turned into visible red.

“Sir...” Aaryan muttered but Abhijit interrupted him and said “No need to say anything. First take rest. We can talk at tomorrow morning. Now go and sleep”.........
