Frozen hearts

Chapter 10

It was already twenty minutes late. He would have been waiting for me long ago. I got an auto and reached there by 10:45 Am. I reached the spot and he was not there. "Did he leave since I was late? But I told him to wait". I called his phone and it was not reachable. "What happened to Mrinal? Why is he not picking my call?" I waited for more than 3 hours and I saw Shourabh walking towards me." Oh my gosh! What the hell is this? What will I say to him?" He came near me and asked, "What are you doing here Arusha?" I put the same question to him. He blinked and replied nothing much. I told him I want to be alone since I missed Karishma. There was a change of expression in his face. He took me home and I slept after having my lunch.

"I got into a taxi to reach City Centre. Suddenly the driver turned back, he wore a face mask. He sprayed something on my face and then I became unconscious. My head rotated like a giant wheel. I don't what happened to me. Time elapsed and when I came to my senses, it was around 9 Pm. It seems I had been kidnapped! Oh no!! Who did this to me? And what's their intention? Where is my phone? Mrinal do something", I thought to myself.

"Tomorrow is Papa's birthday. So surely mom and Papa would go to temple at Calcutta and return after two days. I may get lot of time to investigate on Karishma's case. I have a superb plan to chase this Shourabh along with Papa". Next day morning, I went to a public booth and called Shourabh number , blackmailed that I will kill Bhairav. That fool believed my words and argued with mom and joined them to Calcutta. I told mom and Papa that I have to fly to Darjeeling for a project work. To keep up my lie, I just gave a show like going to airport and driver told dad I fled. Then I got an auto and went to Mrinal's place. His house was locked. I felt something familiar seeing this place. Arrg! My head started aching. "Shit! Calm down Arusha", I said to myself. I asked the Watchman spare key of Mrinal's house saying I'm his girlfriend. I opened the door and entered his house.

"I felt there is some danger for my Arusha. I have to escape immediately". I just saw the whole room to find any clue to escape. There was a window above 4 feet. Its really risk to try jumping." First of all who might have kidnapped me?" I just eavesdropped and found it was Riya. "Damn! She will never leave me happy? Did she see Arusha by any chance? All right, first let me get out of here". I tried hard and somehow managed to jump from the window and escaped. I got a auto and went to my apartment. It was already opened and Watchman told my girlfriend got the spare key ."Was it Riya by any chance?" I opened the door and entered the room. I'm literally shocked to see Arusha sitting in the sofa and watching TV.

Will they reunite? Will Arusha recognize him and their love? Wait for the next update.
