Part 45 suspect

Arnav reached Delhi with Rana. Neither Rana tried to escape from Arnav nor did he show his disinterest to go with Arnav. Arnav brought him to Rohan's place.

Rohan looked at Rana who was injured.

"Whaaat happened ASR? Who is this?" Rohan asked.

"Treat his wound first. We will talk l later" Arnav said.

Rohan nodded ok and brought the first aid box. He applied medicine to his wound after cleaning it with antiseptic lotion. Rohan looked at Arnav questioning because Arnav never brings anyone to Rohan's place. Arnav gestured him something through his eyes and Rohan nodded ok.

"How are you Bhai?" NK asked.

"Yeah, fine. Khushi asked me to convey her regards to you"

Slightly bowing down, NK accepted it.

After finishing the treatment, Rohan went to the kitchen and brought juice for all of them. Rana looked at Arnav.

"Have it..." Arnav said.

Rana nodded ok and had it silently. They finished having juice.

"Rana, this is my friend Rohan and brother Nandkishor" Arnav introduced them to Rana.

Rana smiled at them friendly.

"You have to be here until I finish the work," Arnav said.

Rana understood what work he is talking about. He is going to inquire about him and will get cleared that the information is true. He nodded ok.

Suddenly, Rana felt dizzy. He pressed his head as felt sleepy.

"What happened?" Arnav asked.

"My head is spinning"

"Do you want to be in rest?" Arnav asked.

"Mmm..." Rana leaned on the couch, closing his eyes.

Within a few seconds, he drifted into sleep.

"Did he sleep?" Arnav asked Rohan to make sure of it.

"Yes, he will wake up only in the morning," Rohan said confidently.

"That's good. It will be better if he always sleeps until our work is over"

"What work ASR?"

Arnav removed Rana's Adhar card from his pocket.

"Get all the information about him. A to Z."

"By the way, who is he?"

"He said he is the one who plotted my accident"

"Whaaaaat... Noooo way... He is lying"

"Why do you think so?"

"We know very well what happened before the accident. You were called for a conference that didn't take place. It was a big process ASR. I think someone is diverting us"

"That's why I want you to find out who he is. We should know what he said is true."

"What he said?"

"He said Sheetal is his girlfriend..."

Rohan became thoughtful.

"They are college mates. They were in a relationship for more than two years. Sheetal give up on him as she wanted to marry me. So, he decided to finish me"

"Did he say so?"

"Yes... Why?"

"The inspector told me that Sheetal's friend Riya mentioned Rana in her statement."

"Is it?"

"Yes... Something is terribly wrong... Even though this man's statement matches I won't leave this easily"

"Mmm"

"Give me two days ASR... I will find out the truth from both sides"

"Both?"

"Please ASR... As of now, don't ask me anything" Rohan said that made Arnav frown.

"Are you suspecting anyone?"

"I must suspect everyone related to the case ASR..."

"But you need proof to prove "

"That's why I need two days"

Arnav looked at NK who bowed down. Arnav wondered. Does NK also know the suspect? Well... Let them get the proof.

"By the way, no one should know about Rana. Keep him safe"

"Of course ASR..."

"Ok, I'm leaving..."

"Ok"

Arnav came out and got into the elevator thoughtfully. Why Rohan is hesitating to open up about the suspect? Who that could be? Is that person related to HIM? Arnav became nervous. That is the only thing he doesn't want to face in his life... ever... But who wishes his death? The person who wishes his death could be his people? But why? He sighed. Let it come in front of him. He will handle it. He has to handle it. He has no choice. So, making himself up will help him to handle the problem. Arnav came out of the lift and walked towards his car. Sitting inside the car, he dialed Khushi.

She attended it in the first ring. It seems she had been waiting for his call, looking at her mobile screen.

"Why did you take so long to fill the petrol tank?" She asked.

Arnav chuckled.

"No, Khushi, I met my friend in the petrol bunk. He asked me to drop him in Delhi. That's why I was unable to call you"

"Thank God, you got a companion. I was so worried when you went alone you know?"

"I know"

"Did you drop your friend?"

Arnav thought something to play with her.

"Yeah, just now... I'm in the parking lot of her apartment"

"HER apartment? Was your friend a woman?"

"Haan... Why...?"

"Nothing..."

"Why does your voice sound low?"

"I don't know how men and women in the city traveling with another man and a woman..." She said wearily.

Arnav controlled the laugh.

"Haan... Don't know how they travel alone with another man and a woman," he said in a serious tone.

"Arnavji, you don't talk about it," she said with an angry pout.

"Why should not I?"

"Don't ask me like you don't understand"

"I truly don't understand"

"Didn't you travel with your friend a few minutes ago all alone in your car?"

"When did I travel?"

She dropped her jaw.

"Haaaaan... Just now you said you dropped your friend at her apartment"

"Haan... So what?"

"Didn't you travel with her alone?"

"When did I say I traveled with her alone?"

"Didn't you?"

"I said I dropped my friend in her apartment it doesn't mean she was with me alone. She came in my car with her husband"

"Husband?"

"Haan... Whatttt do you think?"

Khushi hit her forehead biting her lip.

"Are you there Khushi?" Arnav asked and Khushi sensed him smiling.

"Mmm..."

"What happened?

"I'm sorry..."

"Sorry for...?"

"Go Arnavjiiiiiiii, I don't talk to you"

"Again?" He laughed.

"You intentionally pulled my leg... Don't you?" She whined.

"Who else other than me could pull your leg... ( he paused for a few seconds) in every sense...?"

Khushi felt her cheeks burning all of a sudden.

"Are you there?" Arnav asked.

"Mmm"

"You know it feels good whenever you show your possessiveness..." He says huskily.

"Won't you be possessive of me?"

"Thousand times more than you," he said without even taking a second.

Khushi smiled biting get lip.

"I will kill if anyone takes my place"

"Whom will you kill? The person or me?"

"Why would I kill you? I will kill the person... And I will kill you every day on the bed."

"Arnavji, why are you talking like this?"

"Like what?"

"So embarrassing..."

"Excuse me, madam, we are getting married in a week. Remember? Whaaaat will you do when..."

Cutting him,

"Arnavjiiiiiiii stop it..."

"Ok, as of now, I stop... Definitely not after a week..."

"I'm cutting the call"

"Oh... Do it if you have guts"

Khushi pouted.

"You know what? No friend accompanied me in my car"

"Whaaaat?" she was shocked.

Arnav laughed.

"Arnavji, are you passing your time, pulling my leg?"

"Yup... and I will do it often..."

"Ok... do it. I know how to tackle"

"How?"

"Suspense... bye..."

"Khushi..."

"Bye Arnavji..." She disconnected the call giggling.

"Khushi..." he smiled.

"Damn it..." He drove off Rohan's apartment smilingly. he almost forgot all the grief.
