PriVeer Story Circle - Page 66

What. On. Earth. 🤣

"Don't look at me like that, I'm straight as a ruler like I was saying even If I was I'd prefer someone like Omkara" 🤣

I was trying hard to control my laughter throughout the update but just couldn't stop when I read that. 🤣 What is everyone's obsession with Omkara, I don't understand. Prinku is definitely not a female version of Om, so how did Ranveer start liking her? 😆

Lost the key!! I'm cracking up so bad over here!! Hahahahahaha.

Also, Sarce: Sure, I can update :) It's going to take a while ^_^

Cool! I'll go after you. :)

"I lost the key."

Silence.

"Y-you...what?" Priyanka whispered.

Ranveer rubbed his forehead, and his jaw was ticking. Not that he had been planning to release the girl so fast, but now they were in greater trouble. How was he going to explain this to the guruji when they eventually find that Priyanka is missing? He looked to the heavens, and sighed.

"H-how...how am I going to get out of this?" Prinku continued, feeling the familiar anxiety within her read its ugly head. It was one thing to be having a light banter with him. It was a whole other thing to be stuck here with a man, hand-cuffed to him.

Hearing her alleviated breathing, Ranveer looked over at her, slightly alarmed.

"Okay, listen, Miss Oberoi. Calm down. This is not a big deal, I must have a spare key somewhere. Just...calm down, okay?" he tried to sooth her, and his hand gently brushed against hers. Whether or not his actions had been done on a conscious level, neither of them knew.

Ranveer moved so that both of them could sit on the bed now, and grabbed the silver tumbler full of water resting on his bedside table.

"Here, drink," he insisted.

Prinku took the tumbler and sipped slowly, trying to count to ten in her head for every inhale and exhale of breath.

After several moments of silence, Ranveer finally spoke up. "So...can we talk about the letter now? Without arguing?" he asked her quietly. "I promise, I will find that key as soon as we are done."

Prinku gulped. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and in came the torrent of memories and flashbacks.

Her begging O Bhaiya to let her drive the car. The terrible storm. Her inability to control her car. Her knowing for a fact that there had not been anyone on the road when she turned on the Old Bridge Road. The scream of the girl. Her and her brother's desperate attempts to cover it all up even while writhing in repentance. A distance memory of a face in the shadows that night. Taking shelter from the rain at an old tea shop hours later, unable to go home and shaking in guilt. Running randomly into Svetlana as they finally left that shop.

Svetlana.

Svetlana.

"Svetlana," Priyanka gasped as her eyes shot open, opening the flood gate of tears that had pooled there.

"Svetlana?" Ranveer repeated, puzzled.

Priyanka nodded her head so vigorously Ranveer feared her head might just roll off her shoulders.

Prinku took a few gulps of breath, trying to control her trembling, hand automatically seeking his. She grasped it tightly and looked to him and opened her mouth.

"She -"

*knock knock*

Both of them jumped (well, ACP barely flinched, but did look annoyed) at the sudden knock on his door.

----------------------------------------

I distinctly remember someone's update in this circle including Svetlana in this mess. And I had loved that idea. So I brought it back. Hope you guys don't mind that. :)

Am still on a writing break 😆

And they're in a soup - or not! 😆

Finally a tad bit of the secret is revealed🥳

The key to a woman's heart

Within seconds, Ranveer pulled her close to him, pressing her body against his with the hand cuffed to hers. With his right hand he quickly covered up her mouth, assuring her to not speak. She looked at him, teary-eyed and scared. He moved his head to her ear and whispered "Ssst.. Don't make a sound.. I promise nothing will happen to you, just do not speak or attract any kind of attention! Do you understand that Priyanka?" He looked at her and she nodded.

Remembering Priyanka's unexpected flexible escapades, he decided to keep a hold on her in the same grip, and walk like that towards the door. "One moment.." he called out at the person at the door. He had positioned Priyanka behind the door, next to him at his left side, now holding her mouth with his other hand. He warned her silently, by signaling not to speak before he opened the door.

Ranveer unlocked and opened the door half way. He was unpleasantly surprised. What was he doing here? In his polite voice he greeted the visitor.

"Hi... uhhm.. Dhruv right?"

"Good afternoon ACP Randhawa. Actually, it's Dev." Dev smiled, feeling slightly uncomfortable by the strict look Ranveer gave him.

"Sorry to bother you Sir. I think you were resting but I was looking for Priyanka. I was supposed to meet her for lunch, but she is not in her room. I thought to check with you."

"OK.. So Miss Oberoi goes missing for an hour or so, and you thought to come check with a police officer to help you find her? Have you already filed a missing person's report?"

Dev looked at Ranveer, very confused. He could not make up from Ranveer's face whether he was serious or joking?

"Uhm.. Uhm.. No.. I mean.. I.. Look.. I just thought.. Perhaps.. "

"Relax.. I was only joking.. A little police humor.." Ranveer managed to push out something resembling a smile.

Dev smiled too now, still uncomfortable. "But Sir, have you seen her?"

"I am sure she must be around. Probably, very close by. Don't worry Dhruv. She will show up eventually. Why don't you go ahead and have lunch. When I see her, I will tell her."

As he went ahead to close and lock the door again, Ranveer could hear a soft protesting voice saying "No. It's.. Dev.."

Priyanka looked very angry now. His hand was still preventing her to speak but her eyes said plenty. "Miss Oberoi? Ah.. Here you are.. You know your boyfriend Dhruv is looking for you. Seems the boy is very hungry. Worried more about his lunch than you. But I promised him I would tell you he was looking for you, so..."

Amused by her angry face, he let go of her. "His name is Dev!" She said.

He ignored her comment. "Where were we Miss Oberoi? Svetlana?"

He looked at her as he raised an eyebrow, requesting her to continue.

"I am hungry! I am not talking till I had my lunch!" She stood across of him, challenging him. Her eyes showed indeed a hunger. One which told him she was not giving up or talking so easily.

Where is that damn key!' he thought...

Finally👏 awesome!e update

Marr, Anu, Rishu!! Seriously, guys! Such superb updates!!! I am torn between GM, amusement and true curiousity over the direction in which ACP's investigation might go now!!!

Rishi, that was fantastic, as usual! Poor Drev! 🤣

So Prinku is being a tough nut to crack and doesn't have intentions of releasing her either. Makes me wonder how will the secrets be out. Or will they ever? 😆
