Ms. Detective (I) {under construction}

42. Where is he?

It was a week since his confession. He was still ignoring me. And I don't think that he remembers about that night. Well I'm not fully sure though.

"Rudraaaa" I was searching for him in the whole house and he wasn't anywhere. This scared me.

I phoned Mr. Khurana, "Mr. Khurana, Rudra isn't home. Where's he?"

"Actually Ms. Trisha, he has gone college today."

"What!!! How can he go alone?"

"He was being stubborn, he really wanted to go. So, the driver and she is with him."

"Mr. Khurana you know he isn't talking to me. And not to anyone, how can you suppose that the driver can handle his panic attacks? And who's this 'she'?"

"Don't worry I've told him, so whenever they'll get panic attack he'll be dropped home." says he. "And I'm talking about Mishti. She and Rudra really wanted to go so I allowed them." he adds.

"But Mr. Khurana you could have discussed with me didn't you? I mean I was out for only a short meet up with Abeer."

"I know but you know he's so stubborn. And moreover your cell phone was unreachable"

"Can you please forward me the driver's contact number?" I asked.

"Will do that in a minute"

Today, Abeer has called me for coffee.

Shocking, isn't it?

Today morning, he phoned me and said, "Can you meet me at The Café Shop? And remember that you come alone."

I wanted to meet him of course. Cause I wanted to clarify everything and Rudra is really innocent rather than a betrayer.

"But why? What do you want now?" I asked.

"I want Rudra to be dead." I can figure out his sly smile.

"Listen Abeer..... Why are you doing this? I know about your childhood... And I really feel sorry for that.... But please.... Rudra is as innocent as you" my voice was a

"Shut up..... He has to pay for the betrayal!" he shouts.

"No please...."

"Are you coming or should I kill him?"

"No... No please... I'm coming"

When I reached, he just talked to me about Rudra and his friendship, he told me that how much Mishti, Abeer and Rudra were close. He also told me about how Rudra betrayed both of them.

"But he do not wanted to betray you.... It was an accident" said I.

"I don't know.... But he has to pay for the accident. Our lives were ruined because of him. He didn't even saved us after getting out of that trap. He just has to pay" it was something in his voice, something which scared me.

"Why have you called me here?" ignoring everything, I asked.

"Just to warn you that something is going to be wrong, very wrong!"

And then, I left the café. I was worried. I really was.

Within twenty five minutes I reached the apartment, meanwhile, continuously trying phoning Rudra but he wasn't answering.

And when I reached home, he wasn't there.

Suddenly, my phone beeps and it was a message.

Thank Goodness.
