The cellphone on his desk rang and Jay knew who exactly was calling, he picked up the call after looking at the screen which showed the private number. He licked his lips before speaking.
"Hello, Jay Singh speaking."
The person on the other side didn't seem very happy and the glistening sweat on Jay's forehead seemed to give that conviction. He wiped a little sweat from his forehead and replied to the person's question.
"Yes, sir. I apologise for that... No. She knows... They had caught her, sir... No, sir, she didn't kill him... Yes, sir... Yes... I understand... Okay, I'll pass on the message..." Jay answered precisely.

Kiran murmured as he sorted all the papers in his arms which threatened to fall and simultaneously he talked on phone with one of his friends regarding the recent case of homicideโ courtesy of Kali. "No, no. I'm sure of it." He said and pushed his cabin door open with his shoulder. "Yes, and even the police have given their word... Yes. I've got the inspector's interview and he clearly said that hereafter CBI is officially going to handle the Kali case." He said and shook his head as he was about to drop his papers on his de

Surya shouted from the kitchen, the scent of spices drifted around him. Kiran had been working to search some way to get to Kali, to see her personally but, he didn't know where to go. Kiran in his childhood had lost his parents in a car accident, and henceforth, was brought up in a childcare home and Surya too had lost his parents only a few years ago but, both were strong enough to handle themselves through all their hardships.

The screen showed Jay's number and she accepted the call and pressed the cell phone to her ear. "Hey there, Jayu." She chirped happily as she strolled out of her college gates. "Hi, Maya. Where are you?" He asked. "Just got out of the gates, is there another prey?" She asked, a sly grin creeping up to her face. "Don't talk so loudly, idiot, if somebody hears you-" "Easy there oldie, no one's around, chill. Ar

Jay was already on the edge since he got a call informing him that the CBI had incorporated with the detective named Zero who was called for the sole purpose of catching Kali. Along with Zero a special team was selected to work as a force that would focus on Kali. "The name isn't there, it's just the alias... Zero. It says." Jay spoke. "Did you even hear what I said?" Jay asked and Maya looked at him, her cheeks

She moved like a ghost through the hallway and stopped as she saw two feet right in her way, she peeked up from her hood to see. Karan Yadav was standing in front of her, his muscled arms crossed at his chest and the tight bulging biceps made Maya's eyes stray over them with a strange urge to scrape off the tanned skin with her nails. ๐๐ฏ๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ฆ๐ท๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ.

Jay screamed and Maya clapped her hands over her ears, he stood up and stomped towards her bed, on which she lied hanging her head over the side. "Maya, tell me, whatever you said was a lie." He said, his voice strained. Maya frowned. "I'm not lying, Jayu. I did ask him politely to go back home. It's not wrong." She said innocently and Jay's jaw hit the floor. "It is wrong, Maya you know you shouldn't do any of such things that would leave any clues and you left a goddamned message for him!" He exclaimed and Maya rolled over and sat up. &nbs

Surya had been helping him throughout like a perfect partner bringing in meals and coffee at the times he would require. He smiled slightly at the mention of his companion and sighed before running his hand over his face and through his hair. "Kiran!" He jumped as he heard someone shout his name, and a body burst into his work booth. He recognised Rita and sighed before giving

Not long till she ran into someone and she looked up to apologize. It was Shivansh. "Hey there, Shivansh." She grinned, waving at him. "Hello, Maya." He said, and a small smile broke on his face making Maya raise her eyebrows. "Wow, you can smile? I thought you only had the serious face." She said and laughed, Shivansh sighed. "I want to talk to you about, you know... the thing you asked me that night." He said hesitantly, and Maya nodded still grinning. "Not here." He said as
