Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Arjun's Pov

Okay detective concentrate on your personal too, Shiva said and left

I know what he means but honestly I don't want to know my feelings. I not worth for her and her love. Most importantly I don't want to hurt her more than before. I regret that last meeting with her for last 5years. I hate myself for that. I questioned her character,  innocence and her love for me even after she proposed me. My thoughts are cut by my mobile ring. It's my PA.

Hello sir. I informed Mr. Arora to meet you at cafe morning 11 sir, he said

Okay Hari thanks, I said and cut my call

When I followed Krish yesterday, he met Arora in shopping mall. Arora is working in my company in architect department. Krish and him talking friendly. So I asked my PA to go through Arora resume. As I guessed Arora was also studied with Krish and they're classmates.

Next day morning

Good morning sir, Arora said

Morning take your seat Arora, I said and he sat opposite to me. He looked afraid and confused

Do you know Mr. Gupta? I asked

Sir.... who?? I mean..., he shuttered

Mr. Krish Gupta, I said

Krish.... Yes sir he's my classmate, he said

Only classmate? Or friend? I asked

He's my best friend sir. Is anything wrong sir? He asked

Nothing. Tell about him, I said

Sir?? He asked

Tell me his character and his personal things? I asked

Sir he's calm type. Also very genuine person. He's basically helping character there's no bad mark on him during our college time. He's rich but never show his attitude to anyone, he said calmly but there's happiness on his face when talking about him.

Anything specific? I asked

He's intelligent and smar.., before he said I cut him off

I asked about his Personal thing? Like love? I asked

Yes sir he loved our junior. At first that girl rejected him pointing his status but he's strong on his side. At last they started dating, he said

Only dating? I asked.

No sir they're our department love birds that time, he said

His their relationship is strong? I asked

Sir...., he hesitated

Arora it's urgent and I don't misused this information, I said calmly

Sir there's a lot of struggles in their relationship because of his status. His family is orthodox too so they didn't accept their relationship. In fact his parents never saw her once saying she's characterless. But he's strong. Even we too thought she's with him because of status. But she's very good from starting itself she never accepted his costly gift. She totally avoided him knowing his family hated. But he never left her. They have lot of up and down in their relationship but they are never changed their decision. 6 years before he left his family for her and went to met her parents. That's all I know sir. After that I met him yesterday only when I asked about his relationship he avoided it. So I'm too didn't ask anything further sir, He said

Something is off.

Do you know her name? I asked

Sir.... Sorry I forget that, he said

It's ok. If you remember her name then call my number, I said and exchanged our numbers

Thank Arora. And don't tell this to Krish, I said strictly

Sure sir, he said and left

Then he's in serious relationship with someone. How he met Navi? Oh god....

Then I started to investigate about his family. There's nothing new. Oops what the hell they're hiding? I thought. It's already 5.30. Again my mobile ringed it's my PA.

Sir I looked at Krish debit card details. Sir there's constant transaction from his card to ABC hospital for last three years, he said

Are you sure? I asked

Yes sir, he said

Thanks, I said and cut the call

Constant transactions that too to hospital.... I went to hospital To check

To my luck that time Krish and Piya also came. I followed them they went to ICU. I waited for them to leave

I enquired about them with floor nurse. At first he was hesitant but after I give him some thousands he open up

Sir she's in coma state for last three years. I think that sir is her husband or may be her brother I don't know that. He comes to meet her 4-5 times a week. There's no improvements in her state, he said and left.

Piya and krish left. I went inside the room. There's lot of tubes connected with her. I was struck. It was Shalini.

What the hell is happening here? I thought

Who are you sir? It's restricted area. Go out, that duty nurse said

I didn't budged. This time she said little more loudly.

How's her condition? I asked that nurse

Who are you? She asked

Her brother, I said looking at Salini

That nurse looked at me keenly.

There's no danger as well as no improvement, she said and sighed

Please go out sir you're not even wearing safety cover it's dangerous for her, that nurse said softly

I went out off the room. I saw Piya coming towards me.

What the..., before she said anything I dragged her to terrace.

Why Salini is here that too in this state? I shouted at her..

She's silent

I asked you? I yelled at her

I don't want to answer your question, she said and pushed me but I tighten my gripped on her

piya don't play with my anger, I said controlled my anger

Look you're stranger to me. So don't yelled at me like you own me, she said

Piya..., before I said anything my mobile ringed and it's from Arora. I attend it

Sir I'm Arora. I talked to my college friends to know her name. it's Salini. Salini Murugavel, he said without any reply I cut the call

Salini is krish wife right? I asked her  to confirm. From her look I know it's true.

piya? I yelled

I don't know, she said try to move away from me.

I pulled her fast this time she colloidal with my chest and looked at my eyes. Her heart is beating like drum. Mine is not less than her. But I divert that thought

Piya tell me. You know very well I can know about the truth in anyway. But I don't want to waste any other minute. So answer me. Why salini is in this situation? How come Navya is acting like Krish wife? What happened 5 years back? Why she left Shiva suddenly? Who's is reason for anything? I asked calmly but anger is clearly shown in my voice

Leave me, she said

Piya there's no way to hiding the truth. You know very well, truth has its own way to come out. They already waste so much of time because of her lie. So don't try to. If you're afraid of anything then I promise you I don't let anyone to harm Navya. She's like my sister. More than me Shiva he never let her to face any danger. Navya is his world so please tell the truth, I said emotionally

She pushed me hard this time and I left her.. But anger is more evident in her face

Okay. I know how to know the truth, I said and moved from there before I reached the door. I heard

Salini is Krish wife and Dev mom, she said slowly
