Chapter Forty

Getting back to work was the best decisions ever sanyukta had taken in her life. The night before when she told Raghu about her decision to get back to work, Raghu was elated. And in the process to arrange a surprise welcome party for her at office, raghu passed the word to all her employees and ordered them to be at office at 8 am sharp. But the word didn't stop there. The word spread, it reached the whole city and then the nation through the media. Eventually, it reached the one soul that was burning with vengeance on her, too. However Sanyukta was again a talk of town. Media was trending with articles about her guts, her confidence. News papers were filled with inspiring stories about her. Her striking back was hot news that struck the real estate world as a violent typhoon. Her rivals, who until then calm and peaceful, were now dreading. They knew nothing could stop her. In fact nothing could ever stop her.

It was not just the Luke warm rays of raising sun that are touching sanyukta's pale cheeks but also the rays of hope that were peeping into her heart.she felt something new when she woke up and began to get ready. It's been months that she had seen the sun rise. And it was soothing today.

Around eight in the moring, randhir picked her up in his arms and dropped her in her office, at the office there was grand welcome for her, her staff, raghu and vardhan were overwhelmed with her decision to continue her work regardless of what she was going through. Her cabin was filled with boquets of flowers with warm wishes of her well wishers and competetors too... she was totally blissful after seeing their effection for her. She felt blessed, she felt loved. She felt strong and confident again.

An hour later randhir left for his office making sure that everything is good and comfortable for sanyukta. And sanyukta indulged herself in work and also in receiving endless messeges from the people she had known conveying their wishes to her. There was a pretty smile dancing on her lips all the while reading the messages, but one message that caught her sight suddenly made her sweat profusely and the smile vanished on her face.

The message read "narrow escape right? The hairpin turn awaiting next for you makes sure you won't cross it! All the best" sanyukta gulped reading that message. She then scrolled up and the other message from the same number caught her sight it was the message she got the day she met with accident "there's always a third eye watching you. Watch your tracks lady."

"Damn! It's him again!" she figured something was not right. She immediately summoned raghu into her cabin

"Do you need anything sanyukta?" he asked.

"Randhir! I need randhir right now!" she was trembling badly, raghu eyed for a second and nodded at her "all right" he said and poured a glass full of water for her "he'll be here in seconds, you relax first." He handed her the glass which she glugged in no time, she seemed bit settled now

"What's the matter?" raghu asked

"The case? Was it investigated?" she asked dailling randhir

"Yep sanyukta, the case was closed as the bolero driver surrendered for himself" raghu said settling beside her

"What?" sanyukta was shocked. "That's impossible"

"What's impossible?" raghu asked. Sanyukta silently lifted her hand and gave him her mobile with the messages open, raghu silently read them and was astonished.

"That accident is attempt to murder!" raghu clenched his jaws

"It is!" sanyukta emphasized "and it's that goddamn parth!" she gritted

"We better inform this to police!" raghu said. Sanyukta looked at him for a while and said "no."

She took a deep breath whilst raghu looked baffled
