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

This weak sounding, bullied girl could stand a chance of being a facade for the coldblooded murderer; but nothing could be cleared unless he had a conversation with her himself, watching her face expressions, her movements, her body language as she came to know that he suspected her to be the Kali. But something deep down clawed with the other faint possibility of her being someone else and his fin

So, he just sat beside Maya who was sandwiched between Veer and himself, in the back seat of Alia Kulkarni's Black Maruti Suzuki. Maya looked like an excited child the big grin hadn't left her face since she had sat in the leather seat. Alia and Pooja Kulkarni were in the front seats, with Alia driving and Pooja tuning the stereo of the car flipping from various stations, till she found something of her likes. Shivansh would have traded anything to be out of this place, the feeling of awkw

Kiran had even scolded Surya a couple of times while he was working on other articles and when they were out on field.      "For God's sake, why don't you work properly!" Surya turned around to see Kiran shouting at the new intern boy who looked like he was going to cry. Surya slapped his forehead and wa
