Blue eyes

SID'S POV:

Pari looked very exhausted. She was tired of crying. I know they would have discussed his past too.

I don't know whether he said it fully or not, but I hope he said it entirely.

I looked at both Pari and Yuvi, they looked very weak. So, I thought I would stay here for the night and send them home. I really felt pity seeing Pari sob, maybe I know her just for months but I have never seen her in such a vulnerable state.

Her vulnerable state reminded me of Mithra, Yuvi was more vulnerable than Pari; he saw his sister getting molested and killed in front of his eyes.

It took at least months to make him speak with us all, he did nothing, just studied like a mad. Whenever he gets stressed or angry he would run but after his ban, he didn't at least use the treadmill to run; whenever he tried to run he couldn't, it made him reminiscent of the bitter day.

Then Mithra told him to concentrate on studies, the word was enough for him to go mad on his studies. He was a good student with above-average marks but after that, he went into the toppers list.

When she died his parents couldn't see his state they didn't know whether to mourn her death or to mitigate his feelings.

He will suddenly wake up from sleep and scream Mithra's name, that's why uncle and aunty sent us to the US. After that, the only thing he did was to study. After years he started jogging but till now he has never stepped in the track.

Wounds can be seen but, no pain can be felt!

"No, you go. I and Deepthi will be here!" I said and stood up. I planned this as they looked very exhausted. Yuvi and I have a conference tomorrow so it will be better if she stays here. She will manage if I wanna leave early in the morning.

" Are you okay with this?" I asked with Deepthi.

"Yeah! Only for Karthick, otherwise who will stay along with you!" She mumbled under her breath.

"You okay with this right?" Pari asked Deepthi.

"Yeah! I am okay with this. You look so pale you didn't sleep last night too, go take rest for some time" She patted Pari's cheeks.

Pari hugged her and said us to be careful.

"Don't worry we will be and he will be too!" I assured her, standing next to Deepthi and gave a small smile.

Before leaving Pari mouthed a " careful " once again, I just smiled.

"What did you plan? Huh? Dare to do something!" Deepthi yelled a whisper after they left, I felt a sting in my heart.

Does she think that low of me?

What made her think like that?

"What made you think like that? What did I do to you?" I voiced out my question.

"Last time don't you...." I cut her off.

"Last time, don't YOU remember? You lost your control too!" I questioned her.

She went silent.

"What do you think? I will sit and play with you when someone is in here mourning?" "This is just ridiculous!"

Then she was silent after sometimes I felt a slight weight on my shoulder, I saw my Deepu sleeping on my shoulder.

I could just smile when I look at her face.

She avoids me,

She insults me,

She doesn't care for me,

She thinks ill of me.

But still,

She is my lifeline

I care for her,

I like her,

I adore her

I want her for myself because,

I love her and love is blind!

The blind love for her made me blind

I became blind to the extent that I did not know myself

I could see only her,

Only her!

God, why did I fall this hard?

I want her just as she is!

Because I loved her for what she is,

I just want a little drop love from her

That is enough for me to breathe!

I kissed her hair and leaned my head on hers. I can do this only when she is asleep. After some time I woke her up to grab us a coffee.

She drank it quickly and was staring at the empty cup, I grabbed it and put it in the trash.

"What is bothering you?" I asked as she looked gloomy.

"He will be back, right? I can't see Pari like this. It has been decades she sobbed like this! I care for her and him too, they understood me very well and adjusted with me at all times."

"He will be alright, sweetheart! They both are strong they will overcome all this!" I said and kissed her hair.

She stayed still. We waited in front of the emergency ward with the guards until morning. None was allowed to stay here in the ward but after Karthik's admission, they closed this ward for reasons of safety and we were allowed to stay here as we requested to!

She slept again but this time at the opposite side, her hands on her cheek.

I sat looking at her, she was beautiful. I didn't know when and how the time passed. I got out of the trance by the nurse in the early dawn; who informed me that, they are shifting Karthick to a separate room.

I woke up her and went to the room where Karthick's bed was reserved. As soon as we entered the room she slept on the couch, I chuckled at behavior.

After Pari came we went to eat, there she called Zara to inform her about Karthick. We waited for them to arrive and then we went up I couldn't believe it when Zara slapped Pari.

She is freaking a high ranked police officer!

But she proved then friendship comes before everything!

AUTHOR'S POV:

Pari opened the envelope and started reading the report.

The test was taken to screen whether there were any chances for the involvement of already listed criminals through their fingerprint and also a general test like if there are any traces of blood or like that could help in tracing the culprit.

The first line of the report said that it didn't match any criminals on the list.

But when she read the whole report her jaw hung down.

"What the fuck?!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Koala?"

"What happened mam?"

"You read it by yourself"

She gave it to Francis.

She was hell shocked, she didn't know how to react to this.

"What Karthick said was true!" She muttered to herself.

<

"The small blue eyes, it was not like a human....." He didn't complete it.

"It was like...."

"It was like some animal, the small blue eyes!"

"Small blue eyes? What are you saying Karthick?"

"Yeah! I saw small blue eyes that were not like human ones. The blue iris sparkled in the dark. I remember only that, not anymore!"

"How can it be?"

"I have a strong doubt that the thing with the blue eye is the one that cut my veins"

"Are you sure Karthick, or is this an effect of the drug?" She asked still in disbelief.

>> FLASHBACK ENDS.

" The piece contains the traces of O negative blood which belongs to Karthick sir, but something unbelievable is mentioned here!"

"What is that?" The junior officer Sara asked.

"Koala!" Francis muttered.

" What's with Koala?"

"A special type of fingerprint is found but the report says that it doesn't belong to humans but..." He stopped in the middle.

"But?" Sara asked again.

"It belongs to koalas!" Pari said coming out of the trance.

"What?!" The whole team yelled a chorus.

"Yes, Karthick had some idea about this, he said that he saw some blue eyes and also suspected that maybe it was the thing that slit his wrists. I thought it might be his imagination due to the intoxication but I didn't expect this!"

"Koala in the sense, Koala bears?"

"Yes, Koala bears. In the report, it is mentioned with its biological name "Phascolarctos cinereus" in the bracket it is mentioned as Koala" Francis said what was in the report.

"Oh my god! This is unbelievable!" Another one in the team gasped hearing the name.

"Yes, but how?" Pari talked slowly, something was running in her head."

"Mam, does it mean that Koala tried killing Karthick sir?" Sara asked again

"Hmm, I don't know maybe?" Pari was in her trance once again.

"Maybe?" Sara asked again.

"Yes, maybe! Now go and do the work I have given you" Francis said in a strict tone.

"Yes, sir!" She gritted the words and left the place.

"Others can also!" He said, directing everyone.

Everyone went to resume their works.

SOMEWHERE ELSE:

"How dare he touch my princess?"

"He deserves this punishment! This is my little punishment for touching what's mine, My princess! My Parinithi!"

"I hate the fact that my princess cries for him"

"My princess is mine! She should cry only for me, she should laugh only for me, she should smile only at me!"

"She is mine! Only mine!

"I am coming to take you, princess, Soon, very soon!"

MY PRINCESS!
