New Officers!

YUVI'S POV:

I am waiting for Pari. I returned home earlier, and others are still shopping might be returning late.

I just shopped for myself and Pari; I suck at shopping.

After shopping, I went to my office and returned home.

Waiting for her with dinner, I know I can't share work pressure but, the least I can do is to make her comfortable and happy in the home.

And I am trying my best!

I lost an important person of my life already; I am not ready to lose her.

I lived when I lost my sister but, if I lose Pari, I can't live!

I was watching a football match on the sports channel, that's when the calling bell ringed.

It should be Pari! I went and opened the door.

She stood there, exhausted with her shoulders slumped.

" Hello, Kitten!" I opened the door fully and left her in.

" Hello, Mr. Theif!" She said and slumped on the living room couch.

" What thief? I didn't steal anything!"

" You stole my heart, is that not enough to arrest you, Mr. Theif?" She said dramatically, keeping her both hands near her heart.

" Aww! You know, what? You live with your mouth!" She stuck her tongue out.

I sat on the couch with her head on my lap.

" Yuvi! Head is paining" She squeezed her eyes shut, I started messaging her head and temples.

There was a creased on her forehead, it soon relaxed as I started caressing.

" Pari!" " Pari!" She slept in minutes.

What should I do? Let her sleep? or Wake her up and make her eat?

I don't know whether she ate at noon or not, so it would be better if I make her eat.

But before waking her I should reheat the food so, I tried keeping a pillow below her head. But, she woke up.

"Yuvi, you are going, where?" She asked with eyes half-closed.

"Nope, nowhere I will go heat the food and come. You sleep!"

" Nope, you heat it. I will go freshen up and come"

" Okay, go!" I sent her after pecking her forehead, she responded with a wide grin.

I heated the food and was waiting for her at the dining table.

" Yuvi, what's for dinner?"

" No non-veg, I must say! Tsk Tsk!" I teased her.

" You are such a tease!"

" Oh, am I!" I smirked.

" That's enough! Let's eat."

" Your wish, madame!" We dug into the food.

I just made instant noodles as I was not in the mood to cook.

" Hmm, It's yummy!" She moaned, relishing the taste.

" You like all unhealthy and junk foods!" I muttered under breath but she caught that.

" You eat all grass and plants, did I say something?" I nodded no.

" Then what shut and eat!"

"Ouch! That hurts!"

" You hurt me first!" She swiped the unshed fake tears dramatically.

" Did anyone say?"

"What?" She frowned.

" That you became too dramatic these days!"

" Yes they said, did anyone say that you became too cheesy and irritating?" She highlighted the word irritating.

"Hmm, that was rude! By the way, no one except you said that!"

" That was not rude! I just retorted back"

" But it was rude!" Saying this I gulped the water.

" Oh, it was? Okay, what can I do to get my husband's forgiveness?" She asked dropping her fork and cupping her chin. She raised her eyebrows in question.

" Hmm, what you should do?" I acted as if thinking by tapping my fingers on my chin.

" A kiss would do!" I said and plastered a grin on my face.

"That's easy you know?" She said and grabbed my collar and tugged me closer.

Her eyes held mischievousness, her breath fanned my face. I closed my eyes in anticipation.

A minute passed, nothing happened!

I opened my eyes and saw her.

Her eyes held mischievousness, she had plastered a wide grin on her face.

She placed her on top of my lips and kissed her finger.

Damn! Such a tease.

" You said a kiss would but, my sad you didn't say where and how!"

" You are such a tease!" She stuck her tongue out.

" You!" She started running.

" You stop there, I want my kiss"

" Catch me if you can" She giggled and ran out to the backyard.

" Stop there Kitten, or..."

" Or what?"

" The consequences will be worse"

" Let's see what you have with you! " she giggled and ran around.

" Stop there!"

" Caught you kitten!" I caught her from the back.

" Mr. Theif!" She giggled, I twirled her around in the air.

" Yuvi, enough! My head is spinning" I left her on feet and hugged from behind.

" Do you want to bear the consequence wifey?"

"With pleasure, Mr. Husband!" I bit her cheeks.

" Ahh!"

" This is the apple I wanted to eat!" Then bit her collar bone skin and sucked it.

" Ahh! Yuvi!" She moaned.

" The drug I ached to taste!" It took a minute for her to come to the world. Even me!

I kept my chin on her shoulder, she placed her hand on mine which snaked around her waist.

" This is peaceful!" I muttered looking at the clear sky.

" But dark!" She said looking at the dark sky.

" But something bright is waiting for you if you cross the dark. You can shine in the darkness but tough in the light. Be the light if you are in the dark, you are the light of my world already!" I said and kissed her cheek.

The cold breeze caressed us.

" But someone is already drowning into death already because of me," She said still looking at the dark sky.

I turned her towards me and kissed her forehead.

" What happened?" I asked taking her hands in mine.

" Let's sit there?" She showed the bench that was under the pink bougainvillea tree.

" Sure!" We moved near the bench. It was filled with the shed flowers, I dusted the bench and sat there she was standing so I patted the place next to me. She sat there in Indian style and leaned onto my shoulder.

I embraced her through shoulder now her head was on my chest, I kissed her crown.

" Now tell, what happened?"

" The ninth victim would have started dying already!"

" But it's on Tuesday, right?"

She explained what's happening.

" Now I feel like I left it careless being more concerned about my personal life! I feel guilty" She said softly.

" Stop being like this first! Remember you are not the god or some magician to save everyone and everything. Maybe you could have been more concentrated but you did your best. Everyone has their own personal life, you have one too! It has ups and down we can't ignore it because of the profession and vice versa. You tried your best, there is nothing to be guilty of here"

" I know but... I am feeling down these days. I feel like I am messing up things. I know I did my best but still..."

" You are messing with your brain, don't do that! It's just is out of your hands you did your best! Don't worry!"

"Yes, I did my best! I did whatever I could do but, this will be the last I will stop this before next fells into the trap"

" Yup, be confident. You will do it!"

There prevailed a deep silence, peaceful silence.

We didn't know when we slipped into slumber I slept leaning onto her head.

I woke up by clicking sound and flash of light.

I opened my eyes to see Deepthi clicking us pictures, Pari too woke up with me.

" Deepu, what are you doing?" Pari asked blocking her eyes with her hand.

"Hmm, I saw two cute, lovely lovebirds in the garden so thought to capture them in my camera" she giggled.

" Go girl, go enjoy with your fiance don't annoy me," She said and dragged me upstairs.

Everyone was already in their rooms.

We slept cuddling. I don't remember anything after entering our room.

The next morning bloomed and the new week started.

AUTHOR'S POV:

Pari entered her department, that's when Francis informed that she is wanted by the SP.

So walked straight to SP sir's cabin.

She knocked on the door.

" Come in!"

" Good morning, sir!" She saluted him.

" Good morning, Pari. How is Karthick?"

" He is fine, sir"

" I have to go see him, where he is now?"

" He's still in the hospital, by the afternoon they will discharging"

" Good, I will go see him in the evening Niharika also wants to see him it seems. Where he will be, in the evening?"

" He is staying with us, I mean with me. So, you can come along with me in the evening. By the way, how is your mom?" He smiled at her question.

" You asked for a wish, remember?" He asked smiling at her.

" Which? I mean when?"

" At your wedding reception!"

" Oh, yes! I remember"

" Your wish has come true!"

" What?! I mean you forgave her?"

" Yes, I did and now she is staying with us"

" Wow! That's awesome, Thank you so much, sir!"

" Thank you, Pari. I didn't realize that I was making her life so hard, she was slowly dying out of guilty" He was emotional at this stage.

" It's okay sir! Now you have forgiven that's a good thing"

" Did he invite for engagement?"

" Oh, yes he didn't but his father in law did"

" How did they get your number?"

" Karthick might have given or Deepthi maybe"

" Uh! Okay, you called me for sir?"

" Oh, yeah. Actually, the officers from NCB to deal with the drug case will reach here within this week. He will be staying in the Government quatres just help him with things"

"Sure, sir. His name or contact?"

" Yeah, here two officers are coming. There is his number in the file you can contact him!"

" Yes, sir. Can I leave?"

" Yes, wait!"

" Sir?"

" What about Tuesday?" She hung her head low.

"What's the matter?" He asked closing the file he was reading.

" This we couldn't do anything, the victim would already have died!"

"Explain!" He asked, she again explained everything that's happening. He sighed hearing that.

"It is out of our hands, we should handle the media now!"

" I am sorry sir!"

" That's fine! This is out of our hands, just be ready to answer the reporters. We can't do anything to that!"

"Yes, sir. I will make sure everything goes on time this time!"

" Good! You may leave now!"

" Thank you, sir!" She exited his cabin and walked towards her department.

There awaited some clues that would help her in tracing the psycho...
