My Lucky Charm! (Completed!)

Chapter 20. Partial Truth

Chapter 20.

Dev came to restaurant and guessing by his expressions, he was also not aware of Xander's whereabouts.

"What happened?"

He asked as soon as he reached to me.

"I just.. He get annoyed and angry and left."

I didn't knew how to put it in words.

"When and where did you see him last?"

He asked like an investigator.

"He dropped me at our home and it was three hours ago."

"His cell is also off. Did you two had a fight?"

He asked like he wanted to know if his guess is right or wrong.

"It was not a fight. It was a misunderstanding."

"Come with me."

He get up thinking something in his mind.

I followed him. He get in the car and I sat with him in front seat. I remember how Xander used to ask me to sit with him but I always ignored, unless something happened to my heart.

"Were you crying?"

He asked while driving.

"NO". 

I tried to lie an obvious truth.

"Yes, your eyes telling the story. He would laugh if I tell him that you cried for him."

He chuckled slightly.

"Don't you dare."

I warned him. He chuckled again.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Nothing." I said.

"Then what's wrong with telling him how you truly feel for him."

He took a turn on the road.

"I feel nothing for him."

I keep on denying.

"Yeah! That's why you cried like that. Your eyes are looking like frog."

"Its because of allergy."

I tried to lie again.

"Why girls lie about things people will never believe?"

"Why guys hide things that aren't going to harm if they tell the truth?"

I said in imitation.

"There are things you girls cannot handle. That's why guys hide it."

"Yeah, you people work in secret agency. It should be highly confidential."

I said sarcastically.

He did not say anything, just smiled a bit.

"Oh, I remember! He was injured. You knew?"

He looked shocked at my words somehow.

"What! How much?"

"Give and take."

"What?"

"Information in exchange of information."

I sound like a businessman.

"What information do you need?"

He composed himself.

"You knew where he was that night? Two days ago? And what happened?"
