*Janice Pov* “So you will return in the evening?” I asked him brushing my hair. “Yeah! My bus will leave in the afternoon.” He replied and I sighed, looking at my phone, which is in loudspeaker mode. “Ok!” I said, taking the phone into my hands. “Bye!” he said, and I said back before hanging up the phone. It’s been four days since he left, but he calls me everyday in the morning and in the evening. Today he is going to return, and I smiled at the news. I went outside the room to see Aunty and Uncle waiting for me. I became so close to these two in these four days and they too, like me now, which is important to me, but I wish Dad and Mom will also become close to Adithya like this. I left the house and took a bus rushing towards the stop as I am really getting late with all the little talks I had with his parents. In the morning classes, I kept on thinking what should I say when he returns home? Should I say that I miss him or should I keep quiet? Should I ask him about his

*Janice Pov* At present, I am staring at the ceiling still lying in his arms and by hearing his breathing I can say that he is also awake, but we both are not saying a single word to each other. This is what happening for nearly a week. Our alarm still didn’t ring and from the past few days, we both are waking up way before the usual time. He has a strong grip on my shoulders while I have a solid grip on his waist. I am not planning to move away, and I know he is also not planning to do that. We both jerked a little hearing the alarm ring tone and I calmly started saying, “We need to...” “Get up.” He finished it. We both got up and started getting ready with silence surrounding us. I don’t even know what to even say to him, and I don’t know what I am feeling. When he dropped me near my college, I got down and turned to see him staring in our café direction. “I... may go to my parent's house in the evening. You need not to pick me up.” I said, looking at him and then he stared

*Adithya Pov* “So we will be going there in your Brother’s car?” I asked, walking towards my bike where she is already standing. “Yeah!” she replied, frowning. “What?” I asked her frowning back. “Nothing!” she replied, shaking her head. “Rajeev and Raji will reach the spot of the picnic in their own car I guess.” I said and took out the helmet from the bike. “Hmm...” she mumbled and I turned to look at her once again to see what she is thinking. She got behind me holding the bag in her hands, and I started the bike after she placed her hand on my shoulder for support. A few minutes later, I calmly asked, “Do you think we too should get a car? I mean I have enough saved money, and it won’t matter.” “Hmm...” that’s all she mumbled, making me frown. “What are you thinking?” I asked after reaching her parent’s house. “Nothing!” she replied, shaking her head and walked away towards her Bhai who is standing near the gate. She started speaking to him in whispers while he calmly n

*Adithya Pov* “Adithya! Don’t leave my hand.” She screamed. “I will not.” I assured her gripping her hands more on the handlebars. “But try to open your eyes while driving.” I added chuckling. “Don’t laugh! This bike is so heavy.” She said scolding me. “This is just your first week of driving so don’t worry.” I said and made her stop. “Thank god I am not learning it on the main road. So you trained here or what?” She asked, looking around the police grounds. “Not completely, but yeah. Shall we go? We shouldn’t be here for much time.” I replied, and she nodded smiling. “Are you up for a half an hour class every day?” I asked when we reached our home. “Yeah! We just have to wake us early.” She replied yawning. “We can sleep for one more hour.” I said, looking at the time. “I don’t think I can get up if I sleep now.” She said shaking her head. “I forgot mentioning to you. We are supposed to go to your house today.” I said walking towards the cupboard. “Why?” She asked, walki

*Adithya Pov* I opened my mail when I received a notification that I got one. I frowned, looking at the mail. Why am I feeling that it is bad news? I thought, rubbing my forehead and leaned back in my chair. I continued to gaze at it until Rajeev entered the room saying that a dead body is found. “Let’s go!” I said, getting up and we both left for the crime scene along with few constables. After reaching there we saw that there is already a crowd along with media while two constables are trying to control them from walking around the body. “Why are we always informed in last and the media first?” I asked Rajeev an unanswered question. “Media power!” he replied, shaking his head. We both walked to the body and saw that it is some man's, and the forensic team reached there before taking all the measures which they should before removing the body. “We will send the results soon.” Doctor said, and I nodded before walking towards the crowd to ask if anyone knows anything. “Search
