The Warrior

Part 7

 

"How do you know... that I am a crime reporter? I never told you?" astonished at him

He finished his food... "Aarti I have to leave, it's important. I will meet you later"

She nodded her head... she wasn't staggered by his acts... he must be busy with his business. She ate slowly, then thought of calling her mother...

"I am fine... but how's Kirti and Dad..."

"You have to come next month, Kirti and Vikram are getting married"

"Wow, that's a good news Mom...where's Kirti?"

"She has gone for shopping, but you come soon now" Rama demanded

"Yes Mom... I will try..."

She finished her food and left for home... she still thought about the officer who saves so many lives every day. And no one knows where he is and what he does...her mind was still anxious...

"It must be huge traffic from this side..." she said to herself and turned the car to the other street...it was quiet....

The street was lonely.... It was only after a few minutes of drive when she saw a girl standing alone in the middle of the road and four goons were trying to strip her... she stopped the car...

The goons lured at her...

"Another beautiful girl...go get her" said one of the goons...

Before they could reach near the car... Aarti took a gun out... "I will shoot you bastards...leave her"

She stepped closer to the goon who was holding the girl... "Leave her...or I will shoot you"

Scared at the gun point the goons left the girl and ran away...

Aarti saw them running...and smiled...

Then she looked at the tender girl almost on her knees... she looked fragile...

"Come I will drop you home..." Aarti smiled and gave her lift...

She drove past the silent street

"How did these guys caught you and..." Aarti was still asking when the girl burst out crying loudly...

Aarti stopped the car ... "I am sorry... are you alright?"

"Thanks for helping me...my name is Nisha... I live in Delhi, came to meet my friend at the party from where these goons picked me up."

"Oh...don't worry...I can drop you home" said Aarti and started driving...

"It's good you keep a gun" said Nisha..

Aarti laughed "this is a toy gun... but yes I keep for my safety.."

Both laughed and Aarti dropped Nisha...

"Take care" said Nisha

"Thanks... it was nice meeting you" Aarti smiled and started driving...

After sometime...

She reached her apartment... the moment she opened the door she saw him sitting on the couch...

"You scared me? How did you get in?" she asked

Veer nodded "you know me, isn't it"

She smiled... and kept her bag on the table...

"But why are you so late?" he queried...
