PART-14
"I'll try and do something about this," Karthik spoke giving the matter some thought.
"Oh great, thank you yaar," Angad's face lightened up.
"Itna kush matt ho, I'll try but I am not sure whether something can be done or no."
"I am sure you will think of something, well see you," Angad left Karthik in downright confusion and went to his room.
Karthik had to do something now but what that was the question. He shoved his hand in his black winter jacket and took out his cell. He dialed a number and drifted into deep conversation with the person the other end.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The night turned out be a gloomy one, the "Red Manor" looked extremely dull. No light shone in the whole palace except the low fire that burnt in large fireplace.
Kripa was sitting in a maroon armchair, thinking about the time she had spent with Angad, and linking him to her past and/or to Zaib. She knew that she had met him somewhere, yea somewhere before but where was that where. (Huh! too many "where")
"Ring Ring," the bell of Kripa's cell brought her to reality.
"Hello," Kripa's lips slowly parted.
"Kripa Sharma?" a firm voice spoke on the other end.
"Yes, speaking."
"Ms. Sharma, this is 'Dr. Cortez'.
"Oh hello sir, what is the problem you sound tensed?"
Ms. Sharma I am afraid the problem is for you not me. You are urgently needed in London for a bypass heart surgery It is to be performed on '……………..' and you know it must only be you who do this. (The ID of the patient will be revealed later)
Without giving it a single thought Kripa agreed, "Yes sir, when do I have to leave?"
"Tomorrow morning, your flight is tomorrow morning 10:45 sharp."
"Alright."
The dial tone resumed and Kripa stood their like a mummy for a while. What was she to do with Angad's car? He was supposed to pick it up tomorrow and nobody would be here to recive him.
Next: Was Karthik successful in delaying the flight? Will Angad and Kripa meet? And who is it that Kripa is supposed to operate
I hope you enjoyed this part. I'll try and post another part tonight, if not then tomorrow😊.
