Ms. Detective (I) {under construction}

6. Shot

I'm totally confused.... What's happening with me!!! "Faster..." a hiss passes by my side. Strong smell of perfume passes with. Wait a second..... It's Rudra! I glare at him while my eyes widened. "Ms. Tiny..." He waved in front of me. "I said faster..." He says pointing at Dhruv and that girl. "Rudra.... I want to talk..." finally I spoke. "We will! After the task completes!" He smirks winking at me. Idiot it's about your life!! I was mumbling on his stupidity while the next gaze filled me up with terror. Abeer!!

I passed a lip pecking smile. "Don't try to be over smart" He warns slowly stepping to me. He shows his palm while the evilness pouring out in his eyes. He composes his fingers to form a gun. "Shoot..." his voice jerks me a bit. I felt my throat dried. "Task still incomplete darling" He hisses bending towards me while I kept panting a little. "Why do you want to do this?" I ask hesitantly. "I'll tell you when we'll celebrate his death!" He smirks. "Do you hate him this much?" I was ready with my next question. "Is that your work?" He taunts.

Anyways I need to do Rudra's task otherwise he'll kill me before anyone could kill him! "Ladies and gentlemen..." an announcement makes me reach in the hall room. "As you know this party is arranged for the very special award function and of course Diwali celebration!" says the host. "This award is for the pride of our college..... Harsh!" says the other voice taking the stage. "He's Rudra's uncle" Vikram informs me secretly hissing. "Come on Harsh.... Take what you deserve!" says Mr. Khurana. Rudra was standing beside his uncle with a smiling face while Mr. Khurana handed over the award for winning a music show. Harsh touches his feet and starts delivering his Thank you speech. He's such a gentleman!

After the ceremony. I went on with my task. Firstly that childish one as I may get a chance to inform Rudra. Dhruv was talking with someone and that girl I guess was staring at him. What should I do..... Umm... Yes of course.... My old is gold idea is always with me! I felt my lips carving with proud on myself.

So. I'm ready with a glass of drink to splash on him! The girl will be jealous definitely! I'm proud of you Trisha! I mentally pat myself for being smart! Wink.

As I moved forward to Dhruv I hit Dhruv's chest.... Succeeded! "Excuse me Ms. Tiny One..." a very familiar yet irritating voice yelled on the top of my head. I lift up my head only to find the worst thing I can imagine. I again splashed it on Rudra!!!

"Why you always come between me and my task?" I yell. "You idiot... Don't you have eyes" He fumes wiping his clothes through pulling out few tissue papers. "Wait a second.... Always between you and your task!! What do you mean by that?" He asks sheepishly glaring in my eyes. "I mean.... For now... I was about to splash this on Dhruv and you came in between." I reply thankfully shrugged his doubt. "Oh so this was your plan!" His tone was impressed one. I smiled. "And what about all these type of accidents you did with me all this while?" His voice turns taunting. Oops! "I... I don't know about those.... This... This I just planned..." I reply faking a smile. "Nice watch..." I compliment with a lip pecking smile. I think this is the right time of telling him about Abeer. "Umm.... I'm sorry... Come I'll clean it up." I offer glancing at every corner to not to find Abeer again. "Ms. Tiny is sorry for me and complimenting me!!" He chuckles making fun of me. This idiot needs learn some eticates! "Listen you...." I wanted to yell but alas he interrupts again! "Oh hello... Ms. Tiny. You are here to make Dhruv realize about his love... Not me!" He leaves making a slight push on my shoulder from his. "Let me help you....." I offer as I want to make him aware anyhow. "Rudra Khurana never needs help. And specially not from you Ms. Tiny!" He stops and says cutting me in between without turning to me. Go then... Die.

This Man is really out of my nerves. How Mr. Khurana manages with him I don't understand! I think I should go with Abeer.... He's doing right!.............. Ugh........ Relax Trisha. I took out a glass of juice to relax my mind and placed myself on a chair.

"Hi..." Says Harsh breaking my chain of thoughts. "Hi..." I reply while he takes his seat in front of me. "Congratulations for the award" I complimented on which he smiles. "You look stressed out..... Are you well?" He asks noticing my nails hitting the table in rhythm. He's such a gentleman! "Yeah.... All well" stopping my stupid actions. "Want to burn few crackers?" He asks. "No actually... I'm...scared of crackers..." I simply denied. "Okay no problem..." He smiles. "I'm sorry... You should go and enjoy with your friends! It's such a big day for you!" said I. "Yeah will join them.... I wanted to tell you something." says he in a whispering voice. "What?" I ask. "Oh my God it's missing!! Where the hell is that!! It's not on your face even!!" He says getting up of chair. I followed his action in amazement. "What are you talking about?" I ask checking my earrings. "It's really important!!!" He looks tensed. "Can you tell me what are you talking about?" I ask confused. "That..... That.... That pretty smile I just saw while I danced!!" He replies. Ahh!! My lips carved to form a smile and then turned to a laugh. He smiles. He looks good when he smiles! "You look beautiful with this smile.... Don't ever loose it." He compliments holding my hand. Some of his friends calls him. "Keep smiling...." He says leaving with them.

"Do you have crush on him?" a voice near my ear almost jerks me. I turn and of course it was Abeer. "What crush!" I shrug. "Stop building your love story." He fumes. "You don't need to tell me what I should do and what not!" I fume back. "Just go and call Rudra on terrace..... Then our paths will be separated for ever" He hisses.

"Rudra..." I enter in his room thankfully. Oh no... He's busy in buttoning his shirt. His room was composed of two dark and Royal colours... Blue and black. "What are you doing here?" He asks turning other side. "I...I want to talk..." I replied turning other side as well. Suddenly I saw reflection of the same person who is carrying gun in mirror. I dragged Rudra at a corner while his back hits the wall hard. "What the hell!!" He fumes but thankfully I shut him placing my palm on his lips.

After few minutes the man leaves while I realised Rudra. His breath was fastened of nervousness, eyes closed as if trying to ignore me. This Man has so many secrets I can read on his face! "Rudra..." I hiss as he slowly opens his eyes. His eyes hit mine while his fastened breath kept hitting my palm which was still resting on his lips. For few moments it felt like the time stopped. His chocolaty brown orbs were screaming something I couldn't understand. But soon his orbs turns on the evil mode. "You're such an idiot!" He chuckles removing my hand. "Why?" I ask confused and embarrassed equally. I have kissed so many guys for my task... But being this much close to him made me nervous. He makes me embarrassed.... Ugh. "Cause you're planning to trap me with your beautiful looks..." He hisses fanning my eyelids. He changed all sudden!! Yes I can feel!!

"Rudra..." a voice enters calling for him. Ah Abeer again!! "I... I was just...." I try to speak up while "Rudra let's go for some crackers!!" He sounds happy. "Yes of course!" Rudra agrees. "Ms. Tiny... Do you want to join?" asks Rudra. I nodded left to right faking a smile. "Actually I splashed juice on my hand... You go I'll join you after washing this." says Abeer. "Oh okay sure..." He smiles leaving the room. Now even I want to kill this man.

"What were you upto?" Abeer hits me on wall barring me his arms. "Nothing..." I replied. "You can't even do anything darling.." He hisses roaming his lips near my earlobe. "Listen you..." I tried to fume while his lips crashed mine. "Stop it..." I pushed him away. "Complete your task." He leaves. I was panting standing stiff on my position while someone enters "Strawberry gloss... It's as tasty as you." Ugh.. Abeer.

An hour passed when I was chitchatting with Mr. Khurana. He's a nice person! I saw a gun pointed at him from upstairs. Where is Rudra? Where is Abeer? Suddenly light cut off and .....And where's that gun person?!!!!! Though Diyas were showing me the gun but not the person behind.

"Mr. Khurana" a scream came out of me as I made him bent on his knees to avoid the bullet.

*shot*

Everyone starts screaming while another shot is heard. Rudra.... Where is he!!! Where the hell is he!!!!

*shot*

I felt something..... Wait...... That..... Shiny silver watch!!!!!!!!!!! Is it Rudra shooting at Mr. Khurana?

*Shot*

Suddenly I felt Mr. Khurana's arm drenched all sudden......... And.......And it was drenched of blood!!!!! "Mr. Khurana" I scream while he struggled to breathe. I tied a piece of table cloth on his wound. I saw the gun still pointed at him...... With the same watch........... I pulled him behind the sofa while he kept panting heavily.
