Outrageous Cousin!!

Arshad was still working in office, alone, late night, as the entire building was dark except his place! He ordered everyone to leave and not to wait for him if they are finished! As he worked with the last present file, he suddenly noticed the lights were on outside and suddenly his door flung open!

Arshad was taken aback by seeing his son's sudden rude behaviour, as Deep neared him! Almost flouncing! Even seemed frustrated! Did it already happen?!

As if meant to do it, Deep hit on his table hard with his palm, ignorant to the sting it passed through his left arm!

"What is it that's happening?!" his voice was evident for his vexation which came to his father by surprise!

Arshad took a sigh, closing the file, "Since when did my son become this mannerless?" he asked calmly looking up!

Deep shut his eyes as if controlling himself! He then without permission grabbed the man's laptop! Seated, he just showed the man the reason for being mannerless!

Arshad as though expecting it, seated with ease while he watched his son showing him the recorded footage through the pendrive he brought!

"This might answer you!!" Deep scoffed!

Arshad nodded, with a sigh leaning forward, he shut the device, "I see! I can excuse you!!"

Deep chuckled in annoyance, "You still seem to wish to hide it!"

"Her!!" Arshad replied nonchalantly!

Deep was mused! Tara?! So much happened that evening and she didn't even care to say about that while leaving the place?! It was him who was being angry after seeing the recorded footage of the place to find his wallet, and now here comes another reason to act outrageous!

Should he be angry on what happened or for her hiding it?

Taking a deep breath, he tried to act normal, cause that's the only way he could see out! "I don't want to waste time by doing it on private all over again!"

"But if that's the only case, I won't step back!"

Arshad chuckled for the first time, so this is how he wants it out!

"It happened twice!" he said without beating around the bush! Making the man look at him with eyes widened!

"Did you just say....twice?!"

Arshad nodded before explaining him about the another incident as well! And just so, Deep couldn't take it anymore, "Just why did she wish to hide it from me??" Deep questioned impatiently!

"Why else do you think so?" Arshad shrugged!

Deep's eyes rolled, "Alright! What about the men?!"

Arshad with a nod explained him about that part as well, as how he requested the police department to dig it in secretly! It was the only option cause he knew, this isn't something easy to handle, he needed some support! And then about what he got to know! He knew there was a specific person behind both the recent activities, but the one whom they stated, who had ordered them to do so, wasn't the one! Precisely someone working under the one whom he wish to know who!! Cause the person wouldn't just be going doing things directly!

"So you say even the men don't know who it was? Even the one who reached them?!"

He gave him a nod, "Just people working for money!"

Deep sighed, "Police will probably look into it, and would have advised to stay safe! No wonder she chose to leave!"

"Now don't you think she really need what she claimed to get by going there?!"

Deep inhaled, yeah, she did need a mind of peace! "I still can't digest of how you can be this calm!!"

"That's what it is! Difference of traits!!"

Perhaps! He just lacked it cause no matter what he thought of to calm down, he couldn't!! "Just...why is this all happening? All of a sudden?!" he wondered leaning against the chair! Even Arshad can't answer this!!

As Deep began to think, there were no such issues previously! Just why now?! Did something change which he didn't notice perhaps? "Did she say about anyone she suspects?"

Arshad shook his head in reply, "Nothing is sure and until it is, everyone is a suspect!!"

Deep shut his eyes resting his head against the chair, nothing that was happening made him breath in relief! He just got to know this and he was like this, what about this two creatures?! They completely acted as if nothing ever happened! Two? That can't be!! Even Aryan might be having a knowledge of this all! He does of course!!

Aryan?

Arshad was about to suggest his son to leave but he suddenly opened his eyes leaning forward, making him frown!

"Why can't it be like, whoever that is behind this all, is behind Aryan instead Tara?!"

Arshad's brows arched, he hadn't thought about it this way!! To see, things such like this never happened before, and it seems so!! "What makes you think so?" he still questioned back though Deep's opinion was acceptable!!

"Haven't you told me! Until everything is sure, everyone is to be suspected!!"

Both the men stared in silence until a knock decided to disturb it, making them frown! As Arshad informed everyone to leave once work is done and it's late night now, while Deep as well didn't notice anyone present out while he made his way in!!

"Come in!" Arshad said nonchalantly!

Deep as well tilted his head to see who it was, and then entered the man! Ron! Why was he here, at this hour?!

"It's unexpectedly surprising to see you here at this time of night Mr.Ron!" said Arshad speaking Deep's mind out while also motioning his hand, letting him have a seat!

"I came expecting to see one but well it seems two! Actually I apologise for not attending the party! I had my own reasons!"

"And you chose 'Now'....to apologise?!" it was Deep now!

"Not of course! I just had myself finished with my work, and as I have been absent for many days, even few meetings, and the recent party, I thought to apologise in personal so I called in personal! That's how I got to know you are still here Mr.Nethin! But I seem to disturb you as well!!"

"Worry not! You weren't!" Arshad replied with a subtle smile!

Ron nodded with a sigh, "As I am here after all, I would like to apologise Tara as well! I hope I could..."

"Yeah I could convey that to her!!" Arshad cut it off! He didn't wish to have any of this talk now, but he now is having it anyway!!

"I could....do that in tomorrow's general meeting?!" said Ron confused!

"She's on leave!" said Deep reminding him!

Ron took a moment of thought before nodding thoughtfully, "I thought it was obvious to see her back after the party! Seems it isn't!"

"She's still on leave!!" Arshad confirmed!

"Alright! Thanks for the help Mr.Nethin! I won't bother you two anymore!"

"Have a safe journey Mr.Ron!!" said Arshad, making the man stand and leave saying no more! Deep as soon as he left returned his focus, and his father as well!!

"I am sure, Aryan can't be a suspect! Just like you!!" his father spoke!

Deep knew what exactly his father meant, yes, he either can't suspect the man, since he appeared, Tara changed to better!! Not only her but her condition!!

"I do not suspect him father! But I do suspect his enemies if he does has any!!"

Arshad remained silent since he wasn't sure of anything yet!

"I do not blame him father, and I do remember what had changed after he appeared! She....stays happy!! And I....wish for it to last forever!"

"But father, if this is what they have to go through for being together, then sorry! I CAN'T let that man stay beside her anymore!!"

Deep looked down the floor with a melancholy look, "Remaining unfortunate.....is better than another loss after a rare gain!!" he said with a sigh!

Arshad sighed! "Look dear! Don't you think it's her right to decide it?!"

He was silent!!

"I repeat nothing is sure! So better remain patient while finding clues?!"

Deep remained so before giving a slight nod!

Arshad took a deep breath, "You might not know the fact that the man is capable of many things including taking care of her!!" he said reminding himself of what Aryan said about himself the day he left the place! In private! He was no normal man! No wonder he always was first to help her!! And that moment it made sense to him as of why Tara that day, had suddenly brought up the subject of the possibility of someone existing just like her!!

"But you might have now got to know!" he continued making his son look up, "She can't take anything ease which doesn't go easy on him!!"

Deep within a second remembered what he saw in the footage, she really can't!!

They got along very well in a short period of time and they seemed close now!

"So I only hope you now know what to do!!"

Deep nodded, with a sigh getting up, "I am sorry for being impulsive!" he turned to leave without waiting for any reply! His gaze down!!

"Deep!" Arshad called softly once he reached the exit, making him tilt his head slightly, yet not turning completely!

"We would be visiting Aarohi's house tomorrow!" he reminded!

Deep remained silent, with a sigh he gave a nod, "Goodnight Dad!!" his voice was low, and he left!

Arshad watched him leave, his heart felt relieved yet remained burdened! His thoughts soon drifted to Tara! How was she doing?!

***************

Tara couldn't stop sobbing no matter what, though she knew he was right out there, hearing her patiently! She didn't want him to, but he was way too stubborn!

She made him go out so to not to have him hear or see her this way, but now knowing he was doing the exact same thing, yet she was continuing this all!

Her bad! She couldn't help!!

Her eyes felt burdened, her chest heavy, her hair, face and neck damp, her throat dry and hoarse! But her cry didn't stop, she kept continuing until suddenly her heart pained in the very same yet newly stinging way and her eyes lost the vision!

While Aryan felt heavy hearted as he kept leaning against the door, eyes shut! Her every sob made a sting in his heart! And he sighed every time he heard it as if that would caress her hair, comforting her to stop!

Until ... he heard no more! His eyes shot open!

Why did she stop?!

Panic rose within as he stood up hastily, but his fingers halted right near the handle, being hesitated for a second, he slowly knocked the door twice! Getting no response, he hurried into the room and what he guessed, happened!

She collapsed again!!

Rushing towards, he took her into his arms as he tried to wake her up!

This time she could easily wake up after being sprinkled by water droplets, and as she did, her gaze searched his face, settling into his eyes finally!

"Can't I....even cry the way I want now?!" she asked feeling lost, as he helped her sit, resting against the bed wall!

Aryan sighed, straightening his spine again! "Seems so! What you extremely feel is effecting you!!"

Tara chuckled! A prison!!

"Goodnight!" she said all of a sudden, letting out a sigh!

"Good-Night!!" Aryan nodded thoughtfully, his gaze fixed on her!

Tara looked back at him, expecting him to leave but he stood still!! And so her brow raised slightly, making his brow raise completely!

"If you expect me to leave, then I would suggest you not to!"

She frowned, "May I know why?!" she genuinely didn't know, she was not going to collapse twice a night after all!!

"I'm not leaving! I'm gonna sleep with you!!" he said stubbornly, her brows pulled together!
