HIS DISTANT DESIRE

🫶Chapter 3🫶

AASHI's POV-

I woke up in the bed when I felt someone rubbing my hand. It was Shanaya. She looked at me as soon as I opened my eyes and showered me with her question "what happened aashi? Why did you collapse? Didn't you eat properly? Or you were dehydrated? I always tell you to eat and drink properly but you never listen. Wait a second,was there any other reason for you collapsing suddenly? Because collapsing is not a type of thing for you."

I thought for a second whether to tell her or not and I decided not to tell her anything because she will be really worried.

"I don't know maybe dehydration." I replied with a sheepish smile to divert her mind from the fact that there could be any other reason for me collapsing. "From now onwards you will eat and drink properly. Otherwise you will get a proper scolding from me. Understood?"
"Yes ma,am!" I replied with a sarcastic enthusiasm while she laughed at my reaction.

"I m going to get some fresh air. You wanna join?" I said. "No I have to study. I don't know why I choosed this stream. It's just so frustrating." Shanaya whined. I laughed and came out for a walk.

I was sitting on a bench thinking about the message that I got.

FLASHBACK

I was trying to process my mind looking at the letter and the rose. Till then I got another notification from the id **devil_435**

The message read-

"A rose for my rose.
Don't get scared my love. I don't harm what I truly desire for. Hence,you will be safe."

Reading the letter I realised that I have a stalker and he is watching me right now.

I collapsed.

Flashback ends

I was thinking about who my stalker could be when I got a notification from the local news aap that I use to be updated about the things going on around me.

I read the news-

**the girl murders case near street 86 hit the cold case file**

I decided to read the article as it will help me improve my thinking skills about criminals because I m a criminal law student.

The article was as follows-
**The dead body of a girl was found near street 86 on 9 of August. The girl was stabbed multiple times on her chest,stomach and near her lips.
The dead body was identified the very next day. The dead body belong to Saumya verma. She was about to turn 21 after two days when the incident took place.

-her picture-

The most shocking news is that there was a note stuck on her body written with her own blood. The note said- "you are a cheater and a betrayer. You don't have a right to live."

There were a lot of injuries all over her body indicating that there was a lot of struggle with the murderer. She tried her best to fight for herself till her last breath.

As there were no specific lead or evidences related to the culprit. The authorities decided to close the case.

The case had officially hit the cold case file on 16 of August.**

Looking at her picture made me realise that I have seen her somewhere,but where? I don't know. I heard some noise which caused me to get over my thoughts. I know he is again following me,but the question remains same-who? Who is following me? Who is stalking me? And why? Only he knew the answers to these questions of mine. But I don't know why I m liking this. This type of obsession I like it. I smirked a little and turned back to see if I can see him. But no. He wants to play hide and seek. I laughed at this thought. And turned to leave.

PR,s  POV-

I was sitting with karan,my best friend,talking about a really important case as he is also in the criminal law department,when I sensed some movement in the corridor where my love is living with her best friend. She was getting out of her room. I,without wasting anytime,quickly got up and decided to go after her. Nothing. I repeat nothing is more important than her in the universe for me.
"Where are you going like this in such a hurry?" Asked karan.
"I m going after your sister-in-law." I said winking at him and left before he could reply.

I was near some bushes admiring her while she was busy in her phone reading something. I was in thoughts of my baby when I was interrupted by a noise made by a silly kitten. And she looked in my direction but ignored. After a few seconds,she started laughing sinisterly. She looked exactly opposite of what she shows about herself in front of others.
Then she left and I left after her.

__________________________

I got back to Karan. He was on a call with someone.
"Yes,I want details of each and every person who was some how related to this case. No one should be excepted.
I want all the details till day after tomorrow. Understood?
Good."

"Who were you talking too?" I asked him. "Just one of the police officers. "
I hummed in response.

"We have to get to them. This children trafficking is at it's peak. He's using innocent those innocent souls in his dirty work."

"I have an idea" said karan.
"What is it?" I asked. "We will get someone in their group as an undercover agent. He will make them believe that he is one of them but the truth will be that he is working for us." Karan told the plan.

"And who will be that undercover agent for us? As far as I know he knows each and every person who is involved in this case with us." I questioned.

"Someone from outside I don't know whom. We have to make them approach our agent themselves. That will build up more trust." Said karan.

"Okay then. We will go on with this plan. But we have to find a trustworthy person for it." I declared

"But make sure that agent doesn't know about me. If the traffickers got to know that I m involved in this case they may do anything as I m yet not a lawyer. Karan,you only will deal with that agent. And whatever information you get from that agent forward it to me." I ordered and left.
