Ms. Detective (I) {under construction}

4. Qualified!!

"Will she really do whatever being told!!" Rudra asks while his brown eyes hits mine suspiciously. My confused gaze fell on Abeer who tries to convince Rudra. "Yes she will. Trust me!!" He whispers while Rudra is busy in trying to develop his trust on me. I continued rubbing my 'sweaty because of nervousness' fingers on the strap of my side bag hung on my shoulder and resting on other side of my waist. "This tiny one has to win my trust firstly." Rudra's step slowly gets close to me. "Excuse me. Can you please tell me when I broke your trust? If he's saying I'll do means I'll do right!! You are no one to judge me." I spat all the emerging anger in me. But I guess I did wrong.

He squeezes my cheeks suddenly pinning his nails in my cheeks. I want to yell but the anger in his red eyes made my voice betray me. "I will test her first. I don't think she can be trusted." He fumes in hissing voice. I don't know what he thinks of himself.... He's just a spoilt brat. My hands rolled up holding his collar and inner energy helped me to free myself by pushing him. A lone tear passes down my cheeks. I'm not feeling sad for myself.... But I'm helpless and my anger as well... I just can't tolerate two of them before me. "Oh!! Super powers!!" Rudra's voice was sarcastic. "I don't need to proof myself among you" I yell wiping my wet cheeks. "She isn't going to be with us." Rudra says calmly to Abeer. Yes I don't want to.... I just hate these people. But what about my passion!! This might is my test!! My first case... And I'm not going to dissappoint myself. "Did I said that?" I yell louder when disappointed Abeer's face turned bright to me. "I will do..." I declared. Suddenly Abeer got a call and excused himself out of the grill gate meanwhile I and Rudra looked suspicious about the call. But why he looked so? Damn I have to find out... But this man. "Oh okay... So complete a small task first" Rudra says grabbing me out of thoughts, resting him palms on his waist. "Kiss the very first person who will arrive from that gate" He says pointing at the grill gate while Abeer disappears I wonder where!! Wait he said to kiss!!

"Be in your limits" my shaky voice acted to fume. Meanwhile my toes kept rubbing with fingers disclosing my nervousness. "Then leave" He says brushing his fingers together. No I can't... It means... I have to!! My eyes squeezes in disappointment and irritation. It's okay Trisha... It's just a task... I took a deep breath as my uncle says it prevents nervousness... And it did worked a little.

"I will do..." I declared this time with a comparatively bold voice. "Cool..." He gives a cunning yet handsome smile. "But listen..." He lifts up his brows glaring at me. "The male student you have to kiss okay!!" He completes. "Fine but... Not on lips!!" I made a condition. "Are you bossing me!!" He grits while his brows discloses his anger. "Stop behaving like a kid!!" suddenly a slight laugh appears on his lips.

Some faint sound of footsteps grew louder interrupting in between. It was the group of three girls. Phew. "Students started arriving here... Be ready." He winks evilly. And suddenly someone enters. Fuck. He was in a white t-shirt and a red jacket paired with blue jeans. Rudra seemed angry and disappointed at him. "Not him" He gestured nodding his head left to right while secretly pointing his thumb at him. Why not? Who's he? I'm sure I can get some clue in this messy case. "I will..." I whispered passing a wink to him. "No dumbo" He yells grabbing my hands enough to hit myself on his chest. "Stop being bossy. 'Commitment' do you know what it stands for?" I whispered slightly louder trying to detach flesh of my arms in his tight grip. "Leave me.." I ordered fuming to the core. "I'm going to complete my task" I fumed leaving an angry Rudra behind.

Come on Trisha you can!! That person was busy in his phone when I grabbed his arm dragging him to a corner. He looks shocked. "Yes?" He asks. I roll my hands on his red collar and then placed both the elbows on his shoulder clutching both the forefingers together behind his head. He was bent a little. His breath fans my eyelids. Lifting up my eyes I concentrated on his zoomed in facial features. Fair color, tiny eyes, and French beards under his pointed nose. His lips were small and perfectly carved according to his stubbles. Lifting up my weight on my toes my lips touches his hesitated ones. Closing my eyes I kept the work on.

After a while I placed my weight on feet and let him breath. "What was this?" He asks in a whisper. "It's just I... I liked your lips." I wink while my arms remained barring him. I can't loose him... He's the one Rudra seemed quite afraid. "What's your name?" I whispered. "Harsh" He replies making his hands travel on my waist. Fuck. "I liked you..." He says making his hold a bit tighter. "I'm getting late for my classes... We'll meet later." I shrug my hesitation flashing a smile. He smiles leaving me free. I rushed to another corner closing my eyes, puffing hard while my palm rests on my throbbing chest. It's a remedy for a moment to avoid whatever just happened.

"Done?" a voice interrupts and slowly my eyelids decides to move up. Ah of course!! Rudra. "Yes done." I can feel a little happiness on my lips, of my little victory. "But you are disqualified" He announces making my mind go numb. "Why?" Abeer's voice enters in between. I looked at Rudra to find the answer of same. "Stop your nonsense. I kissed the first person as you said." I defended myself. "But later I stopped you right!!" He scoffs. "I'm not your servant." I yell. "When she did the task then why are you being unfair?" Abeer took my side. "Ask her whom she kissed?" Rudra was annoyed. "Harsh" I replied glaring at Rudra while Abeer's glare made my gaze fell on him. "He's our enemy. And anyone related to her... Can't be with us." Abeer was disappointed as well. Enemy!! Enemy's enemy!! Woah!! He can help me!!

"But it's unfair. I didn't knew." I opposed them. Abeer drags Rudra away from me. "Rudra listen. We need her this time... Stop her before she leaves." He hisses and again it hits on my ears. So they need me!! But why? "Fine I'm leaving..." I act to leave. "Bye.." Rudra spats louder. "No tiny one wait..." Abeer interrupts. I shot him a glare when he corrects himself "I mean... Trisha". "You are qualified to be our friends..." He announces and now I can take a sigh of relief. "Why all sudden?" I ask acting to be naive. "We liked you... That's why." He shrugs and I controlled my laugh pecking up my lips tighter. "It doesn't seem so" passing taunts to Rudra gave me immense pleasure. He was busy in making annoying faces glaring at the ceilings to ignore me while his hand remained resting on his waist.

"Tomorrow is a party at Rudra's place. You are invited." says Abeer trying to act normal. "Tell me my work." I was straight forward.
