The Warrior

Part 24

Aarti tried to sleep but somehow she felt indisposed... every time he left such an impact on her that she can't forget, this time she was badly waiting for him at the wedding but he didn't turned at all.

She closed her eyes and tried to sleep but again and again her heart and mind thought about him, about his safety.

No doubt she tried calling him numerous times, but each time she tried it was switched off...

After rolling on the bed from one side to another to finally got up from the bed...feeling thirsty she rambled towards the kitchen, filled up the glass with cold water and gulped down her throat... a feeling of uneasiness sank through her whole body...

She glanced around the quarters, all the staff was in deep sleep. She was the only one sitting at this hour wondering about her man who is on his important mission...

She thought of calling Kirti and letting her know about Aakash in the house at this hour... she had a doubt on her Mother who must have sent him...

Aarti dialled her number but she wasn't answering...after trying for about three times she gave in "I will talk tomorrow now"

She adjusted her silk gown while sitting on the chair and tied her long hair into a ponytail...her eyes fell on her red bangles and henna that clearly showed the symbols of her marriage...

She recalled the first time when she saw him in college, ever since then she dreamt of being with him...and today she is married to him...to the most special person she adored.

She blushed reminiscing the way he pulled her long hair, then twisted her arm and passionately kissed her...her heart skipped a beat. Even a little thought made her hands go ice cold...

"You have made me crazy" she murmured...

After sitting for a while she finally kept the glass in the sink.

Sleep won't come easily, She thought of reading some book...she remembered Veer had few books in his study...

The moment she opened the study room... she found Aakash standing there...

Dismayed and bewildered at the same time, she saw his tense features...

"Aakash, what are you doing here?" Aarti asked outrageously as she saw him checking Veer's laptop...

Aakash immediately walked towards the printer and took the sheets...

Aarti was perplexed at his acts... why was he using Veer's laptop? She thought.

"Oh, I urgently wanted to print my tickets...so I used your laptop" he said hiding the papers behind...

Aarti didn't believe him at all "who are you? And what are you doing here?" She shouted at him...

"You are taking me wrong Aarti... I needed these tickets urgently... sorry I didn't ask you first" he again said not looking at her

"This is Veer's personal laptop... even I don't touch it...how dare you?" she angrily scowled at him

Before she could grill further, he tried to get out of the room by pushing her off his way...

Without waiting she picked up the jug and threw it on his head... the hit was hard and he suddenly felt the sharp pain.... The moment he hold his head, the papers slip off his hands...

Aarti saw and immediately picked up the papers and rushed to the study room... she quickly glanced at the papers... "Veer's official papers...oh my God..."
