In Quest Of Love

The devil.....

   " Aditya...wear the seat belt"

Suman insisted him and ignited the engine...

She made sure that Aditya had his seat belt on... Securing the file in the dashboard ,she gestured Aditya to hold Shravan's bag safely...

  She focused at the road..she noted the  time in her wrist watch...

Ten minutes! Not more than that!!!

Her mind calculated the distance and the speed she had to drive with...

She drove slowly until she came across the airport gate... Then , it started...

She pressed the accelerator and shifted the gears  2...3...4...and 5.... There was no slow down of the speed anymore after that...

She was literally racing... The early morning roads were traffic free and she had nothing to bather just to speed up the car...

   Aditya was scared by her devilish drive... He tried to stop her but it went vain... He had no option other than sitting quite, praying God... sometimes, clenching his eyes in despair....

     " Suman...for God sake , drive slowly...and where are we going?"

He asked irritated...

" Aditya...if I have to drive safely , I  shouldn't be distracted...sit quite"

She said without taking her eyes off the road....

It was all enough to keep him mute... Atleast, he wanted to be alive to question her anymore....

   What the hell had happened to her?  It's a procedure that the proofs should be handed over to the department and she's not on protocol in any of the situations in this case...I have to talk to Neeraj sir about this as soon as possible...

He determined himself that he won't be a part of the case if not given with all details...

______________________________________

  Suman stopped the engine at the front gate of the CBI directorate...

Seeing the place , Aditya sighed... He got down and took the case file and the bag with him... He was about to move and stopped as there were no one.. and the gate was locked...The entire premises was dark with only one weak LED bulb..The rising sun was trying to give a half-lit tone to the premises...

Why are we here? That too , no one is here?!

  Baffled, he threw a puzzled look at Suman...

Suman stretched her back by lifting her arms up ...she breath in and out thrice...

She took the water bottle and washed her face... Feeling fresh with the chill water, she took a hand towel and dabbed the waterdrops in her face...

" Suman..."

He called her and shrugged his shoulders...

" What Aditya..?"

   

She drank some water and asked him...

He breath out audible...

" Now...what?"

"What?!?! Nothing"

She simply said...

His anger rose a step higher... His ego hit him harder that he was used for the case and he was not even given any chance to know the entire details of the case...

  He faced her directly...

" Suman...I feel bad that I am not treated genuinely...I think I can't continue with this case..."

Suman who was correcting her pony , turned at him...

" You can leave...and you have the rights to leave the case at any point...I can manage alone "

She said casually and took her mobile...

She rang up a number and spoke...

" Papa...I am at CBI directorate ..."

.....

" Yes...I will wait...."

She cut the call and looked up Aditya...

" Aditya...what were we talking?"

Aditya was frozen with her reply already... He thought that she would be requesting him to continue with the case... Her direct answer shook him... It was a truth that he accepted the offer only to be with Suman..  He didn't bathered much about the case details... Moreover, Neeraj instructed him to accept suman's orders without any ado... He accepted the offer and later, he was irritated with what had happened for the last two days...Atleast , he needed the transparency in the case...

Now, a little scare peeped inside him that if he negotiate much then definitely she will tell him to get out... He wanted to be with her and he decided it for sure...

  " Aditya...". 

Suman snapped at his face...

He came out of his thoughts...

" Hhuhh... nothing...we were talking about to have a cup of coffee?!?!"

He raised his brows...

She couldn't control her laugh...

" Better attempt...but not now..."

She started to read the files...

While she was recollecting the points to be argued....Aditya stood at stand- at -ease ,  thinking hard  about the significance of case tangled with Suman...

1..the case is not simply an accident case..

2. If Suman is involved with the case at her holidays means it's more important than anything else...

3. How did she find out that the victim was coming from airport without any of his ID..

4. And ...she said that he carried only one bag...how does she know it?

5.  She unlocked his phone in first attempt...and operated the phone easily... That means , she was used to the phone already?!?!

6.. Even after the entire sleepless night, she was at the airport in person... that means she doesn't want to miss anything...

7. The way she drove the car...it was hell...and , waiting in front of the locked gate of CBI directorate...??!?!!

He questioned himself and had no answers.. He was tired of thinking and held his head...

  Suman looked her watch...

" Aditya..be ready... anytime,we may get the call"

His body stiffened again...

She looked at the only one LED bulb went off... Her entire nerves got alarmed..

" Aditya...come on"

She kept the files inside the bag and secured it wearing at her back...

Seeing her preparations, Aditya shrugged...

" Now what?"

" We are going to jump at the other side ..."

Pointing the compound wall, she began to climb over it stepping on the car bannet...with two high steps, she reached the top of the compound wall...she gestured Aditya to climb on...

Aditya stood amazed...

Suman... you're such a devil...
