Chap-9 Heartbeats

The trip tothe morgue threw up some details like the teens whose bodies they had found dumped in the pit died due to drug overdose and two of those bodies had been ripped open probably to pack drugs but none of the organs were missing so organ trade could be ruled out. A detailed post-mortem was still pending but for now these were initial findings. Sash mentioned that this must be some new entrant in the trade trying to find innovative ways to send a larger consignment. The next stop was again at the raid location where the demolition drive was in progress.Once Suvan was sure that it was working as planned they left for the archives and started searching for the newspapers, the advertisements that were put in to trace a pattern. Shravan mentioned that they should start with the raids that were conducted in these and surrounding areas possibly for a year or so and around those dates they should be checking if the papers carried a similar ad so they could trace a pattern and find the frequency in which this message came.Lot of search showed that the ads were generally published in very local newspapers with very less publications and there was a pattern. These ads would appear in about 1 or 1.5 months gap with a post box number(usually of acompany) in different cities. On closer examination they had found many ofthese companies were defunct so these post boxes were no longer in use so anything sent here was definitely not reaching the concerned person so this was a message denoting a code which they needed to find. There was only one company XYZ imports which was functional so Suvan decided to check on them if they received any mailers. They took some photographs of the advertisements and noted downthe points they gathered.

It was almost evening by the time they finished their work and both were exhausted and hungry,so they decided to eat something before they headed to their next destination. They settled for a small place with an outdoor seating which gave a panoramic view of the setting sun with the backdrop of the bustling city. Suman was soaking up the view when Shravan hurriedly came and asked what she would like to have, and Suman looked around and settled on paratha and kurma. Shravan had a astonished look as he looked at Suman’s injured palm but looking at Suman’s what’s wrong look he said “Your hand is wrapped in the bandage and how are you going to tear the paratha and eat , just a day back you were saying that you have to eatthings with spoon”. Suman realized her foolishness and said “Oh!! Sorry but look at that man, my mouth is watering looking at the crispy parathas and delicious smelling kurma..no Shravan I will manage, I want to eat paratha and kurma only”. Shravan shook his head surprised that the super cop andintelligent Suman could be so painfully stubborn like a child. Nevertheless, he decided to order whatever she wanted while he settled for upma and vade. Once the order was serviced, he watched Suman struggling with her food as she tried to balance the piece of paratha and the curry without messing up the dressing on her palm. She then tried to eat with her left hand and soiled her shirt a little while Shravan laughed at her efforts. Tired she decided to give up and sip her coffee. Looking at that Shravan stopped her and forwarded her the plate of upma that he had ordered for himself. Suman grudgingly accepted but kept looking at Shravan as he pulled up the plate, rolled up his sleeves and was about to dig into the paratha, her paratha. Shravan was about to take a bite when he looked at Suman and saw her intently observing him and he smiled and nodded his head looking at her and then held the piece of paratha dipped in the orange liquid infront of her mouth and urged Suman to open her mouth . Suman surprised at this scrunched her eyebrows and looked at Shravan with question mark to which Shravan replied “ The way you were looking at me eating YOUR paratha it will not get digested if I eat it and I don’t want to call in sick tomorrow “. Suman laughed at this and Shravan got an opportunity to push in the food inside her mouth. Shravan continued this way for few more mouthfuls and each time he fed her his fingers touched Suman’s lips and she felt they lingered on them a little more than required but wherever the tips of Shravan’s fingers touched she felt them scorched and hungry for more. He stopped feeding her only when Suman backed off seeing people around observing them curiously and smiling away.Shravan was not oblivious to Suman’s reactions neither to his. He had no intentions rather than feeding the hungry soul but one little touch between his finger tips and her soft lips had this nerves tingling. He hated to admit that he had touched her lips a little more than required as he loved that soft touch on his hard fingertips. He had noticed how Suman had the glazed look in her eyes when he had fed her.

Remaining days in Chennai went blissfully for both as they made new discoveries about thetrail as well as themselves. Suman discovered a new side to herself that she was not aware of till Shravan came along . She was very enthusiastic about different kinds of sporting activities right from football to swimming, but she did those to keep herself busy during the lonely weekends but with Shravan ascompany she enjoyed them like never before. The days they would finish off their work early Shravan would drag her to some or the other sport. Sometimes they would play along with other groups especially weekends when they would be joined by their team members like Aneesh, Rajesh or Saheb but there would be those late evenings when it would be just Suvan who would play. During thesedays that Suman would sometimes notice Shravan’s looks change and his eyes darken like when he saw her first time in a one-piece simple black swimsuit or when she had worn shorts and a simple tee. On being noticed Shravan would look away but surprisingly Suman did not feel uncomfortable and she started realizing the difference when a man is leering at you vis-a vis when a man admires you. There was a warmth in Shravan’s look that made her heartbeats go fasterand her blood warmer showing up in the red hue that spread across her cheeks.It was not just Suman that felt that way but it was same on the other side when he had seen Suman checking him out at the beach when he wore low slung shorts below his waist and a tank top and had come down to play beach volley ball.Suman had felt heat pool in her lower abdomen when she had seen Shravan’s attire giving ample view of his rippling muscles, taut stomach and the broad planes of his chest peeking out from the top. Shravan had smiled his flirtatious one at the unabashed appreciation of his body that Suman was doing but she had looked away embarrassed at being caught. The innocence in her looks and the way her cheeks coloured on being caught left Shravan yearning for more as he got frustrated thought that this girl would be the death of him. Those fleeting touches sometimes unknown and sometimes known as they grew comfortable with each other had grown steadily. He knew Suman was not someone who would ever have had casual relationships and he wanted to handle her with care and explore the possibilities between them layer by layer.

They were leaving for Bangalore the next day and they had the evening gathering at Sash daughter’s birthday party. Shravan wanted to spend the evening with Suman but they could not avoid the party at Sash place so he approached Suman and asked “Will you please come with me to Sash place . Actually I am not sure where and what to buy for the little girls so I thought you could help me”. Suman agreed and immediately Shravan said “So shall I pick you up at 6pm?”. Suman turned back surprised “You will pick me up!! I have the car so I will pick you up”.Shravan smiled at this and lifted his collar and said “You have underestimated me my dear Suman , I have a surprise for you, wait till 6 and see”. Suman blushed at the endearment which Shravan seemed to have used casually and Shravan looked at her and understood that colour and as she walked away Shravan patted his heart and said “Suman if you keep feeling shy every time I say something like this my heart will go on an overdrive. Get used to it sweetheart,I am going to sweep you off your feet”.

Shravan was surprised again when he saw Suman coming out ready for the birthday party, a simple white Anarkali suit with a multi coloured thin border and a similar pattern of dupatta. She had adorned small jhumkas,a very simple makeup with kohl lined eyes and a littlelip gloss on her beautiful lips but it was enough to make Shravan’s heart do alittle flip-flop. She had left her hair open and the only thing Shravan wanted was to gather one fistful and bury his face in it. She looked and smelt like a lemony citrus flower as she sat on the bike Shravan had borrowed from a colleague.As they drove along the beach Shravan noticed Suman had closed her eyes and was taking in deep breaths when he mentioned “You love the seas right”. Suman replied still closing her eyes “I was born and brought up here, the smell of the sea always makes me feel closer to home”.

Shravan : Shall we come for a walk in the beach post the party

Suman: We will be late, we have to go to Bangalore tomorrow remember?

Shravan: Its ok we will manage, its not everyday that we get such times and places

Suman: Let’s see

They both reached the Sash household after buying the gifts and Shravan noticed that it was nothing extravagant but a very homely affair with few close friends and most of the team of NCB who worked closely with Sash. Suman disappeared into the inner courtyard of the house as soon as they reached as she was very familiar with the people and the house. Sash was as usual in his bubbly self, trying to keep everyone entertained with his silly jokes. Piya and Miya’s friends hadsome little games while the adults had their own groups as they sang, played.Aneesh played the guitar while Saheb recited couplets. Kaveri and Sash were avery warm couple who tried to entertain the guests and keep them comfortable. They had all relished their dinner which was a mix of Chinese, Mexican and SouthIndian fare. Kaveri was an excellent cook people relished whatever she had made. Post dinner when finally Suman sat next to Shravan, he nudged Suman asking her to step away so they could leave but Suman declined since she wanted to help Kaveri out. Frustrated Shravan went out although Suman wanted to stop him but could not infront of everybody , she could not leave without helping Kaveri out after all they were like family to her. She winded up as soon as she could and then walked out after the goodbyes and declining Sash offer to be dropped home mentioning that Shravan was waiting. Frankly she was not sure if Shravan was waiting because she could see that he was clearly angry but before she could deliberate more, she noticed Shravan waiting outside. She ran to him and said “shall we go”. Shravan did not answer and simply started the bike as Suman climbed onto it. As he sped back towards Suman’s home she put a hand on his shoulder to stop him and said “ We are going to the beach Shravan”.

Shravan : “We will be late tomorrow let’s go home”

Suman : “ I will manage come let’s go”.

When Shravan refused to budge Suman held both her ears and stood in front of Shravan mouthing a sorry. How could Shravan say no to a cuteness overloaded Suman and he pulled her along to the beach. They walked along the beach which at night was calm with only the full moon shining on the white sand and the waves crashing against the shore. Suvan walked hand in hand along the beach absorbing the silence amidst the little sprays of water. Suman noticed the Shravan had not left her hand and for once she did not mind that at all. They sat down after walking a distance and Suman started gathering small handfuls of sand trying to build a castle. It had been a long silence so Suman spoke “Shravan you sometimes behave like a kid, just to make someone do something you want, who would say that you are with NCB”.

Shravan:Corrections …who said if you are with NCB always you must behave like a cop.Secondly, why to let the child die within when it is the most joyful part ofyou. Third and most important its not somebody its you and I think I can take that privilege with you, right?

Suman looked at him a little surprised, a little endearing as she again had the similar feeling of her heartbeat going faster. A small smile played on her lips as she got up and ran towards the gushing waves. She loved the cool water rippling across her feet as the sand slipped below her feet. Shravan got up and slowly walked towards her contemplating whether he should tell her how he feels about her when she quickly turned, bent down and started splashing the cold salty water at Shravan. Shravan ducked a little and then did the same as Suman started running away but the slipping sand did not manage to carry her far before Shravan came from behind and lifted her up grabbing her from the waist as the waves almost drenched them. Suman was new to this proximity and she could feel a tingling feeling in her whole body and she stiffened a little. Shravan sensed her discomfort and let her slide down to the ground and as she turned to look at Shravan , Suman now noticed the familiar darkening that she had seen many times earlier but she was attracted now by the wisp of wet hair which lay plastered across his foreheadand she raised a hand to flip that back. As she touched her palm to Shravan’sface he closed his eyes as his breath hitched and unwittingly Suman stepped back but Shravan caught her from moving back and replicated her actions by flicking a long strand of wet hair and putting it behind her ear. He saw how Suman too closed her eyes and bit her lower lip as Shravan slowly ran his finger winding the strand of long hair around his finger and then slowly takingit behind her ear when he could feel her heated skin , her racing pulse and he experienced a slight pain in his groin. He smiled at the reaction and wanted to take Suman in his arms when she pushed her away and ran again towards the road laughing back.Shravan was determined to tell her that how she makes him feel and not to miss the opportunity he ran behind her as she moved towards his bike.

Loved the update. So Shravan decided to confess. Waiting to see Suman's reaction.

Amazing update!❤️

Chap 10-Unwanted guests

Shravan ran behind Sumo as she crossed the sandy beach to the adjacent road and towards his bike . He was about to reach her when he observed her eyes grow wide as she flayed her hands and shouted “Watch out Shravan”. Shravan was lost in Suman’s beautiful smile with his instincts on a short vacation so he was unable to see that Suman was trying to convey something and in a split second he saw her running towards him. Shravan lost in his own world assuming that Suman was running into his arms but before he could open them to embrace her Suman pushed him to the side, ducked and punched a blow to someone at the back. Realization dawned on Shravan that they were attacked and then he noticed there was a bike with two people on it who had climbed down and were attacking them. As soon as Suman had punched a blow on the burly man’s hand and dislodged the iron rod that he was carrying the other short and stout man tried to run and hit Suman when Shravan ducked this time and hit him a blow in his lower abdomen making him crumble and fall on the road. Suman shouted out to Shravan to move towards the bike and she herself started running towards it in a bid to escape but before she could step towards the bike the burly man had caught her by her open hair and wrung the dupatta which was around her neck and tried to suffocate her as Suman tried to dislodge herself. Seeing that Shravan started raining blows on the burly man but before he could take him down the other guy had taken out a knife and ran towards Shravan. Shravan’s back was facing his attacker to he did not notice till he just turned a little trying to hoist the burly man to dislodge Suman and the knife missed his back by a whisker and it ran through his upper arm. He shrieked as the knife pierced him and in that moment of confusion Suman managed to punch the burly man in his groin while he and made a run forward quickly throwing away her dupatta and tying up her hair in a bun as she picked up a brick lying nearby and threw straight at the burly guy who was running toward sher. It managed to hit the edge of his forehead and she could see the red patch and quick enough she noticed the iron rod that had fallen and made a run for it. She had managed to retrieve the rod and hit straight the shorter man when the burly man tried to pounce on her. Shravan by then had managed to put out his leg in between making him trip and fall. Suvan thought they had been able to counter them when the burly man took out a gun and Suvan had to step back. Luckily,they noticed that he was not trying to shoot them but run away with his mate whom he dragged to the bike. Their faces were covered and Suvan itched to unmask them. As the burly man turned on the bike and dragged his mate on the seat Suvan made a run for it and Suman was able to pull off the cloth of shorter man's face. Although the streetlights did not provide a clear view but she had seen enough to identify in an identification parade. As they ran away the burly man uttered some expletives which Suman could not understand. Shravan understood and said “He mentioned in Kannada that you both destroyed everything , I will not leave you guys”.

Suman drove the bike breaking all defined speed limits as she tried to take Shravan to the nearest hospital as soon as possible. Shravan kept saying that it was just a cut something he had many times earlier but Suman was driven by the image she saw in the side mirror of Shravan’s shirt filling up with red colour with every passing minute. After an hour doctors had attended to Shravan and had administered some stiches and given him some pain killers and some medicines.Since they were travelling to Bangalore , he had asked them to see a doctor once they reach and if in the night he had fever and it does not go with a crocin then he would need to be admitted. Thankfully no critical part or veins were cut, the knife had just made a slice through the skin layer. Sash on being informed had wanted to come down but Shravan had insisted that they will talk in the morning given that they were travelling the next day and he anyways had an event at home and must be tired. For now, it was not something critical,nothing that he could not manage. Sash had decided that while the rest of the team would take the early morning train but Sash, Suman , Shravan and Rajesh would take the bus to Bangalore in the late afternoon just to ensure Shravan was fine before he travelled. Suman drove back Shravan to her home as she could not leave Shravan overnight in the quarters with nobody to look after. As usual they had their arguments and then finally Shravan surrendered with folded hand ssaying “Ok meri Jhansi ki Rani chalo”. Shravan looked at her and said “ Suman you know, there could be a scandal right?”. Suman laughed at him and said “ You have been at your pestering best insisting to go back to your lonely quarters and now that I have finally managed to convince you to come here , I have ensured all factors are taken care of. I am not staying alone. My Masi is herewith me for over a month so don’t worry on the scandal part”. She parked his bike and ushered Shravan inside.

Shravan was surprised looking at the house, it did not look like Suman lived here alone with probably occasional visitors. The living room was complete with a leather sofa-set with an ample spread of colourful cushions. The corner of the room had a small beautiful aquarium with two little goldfish in them apart from other varieties.A small TV set was nested in the middle of a tastefully designed wooden structure which had some motifs placed on the sides and a beautiful sleepingBuddha which adorned the top. Ratna Masi got some haldi dudh for Shravan knowing that he had a fight with thugs and sustained injuries although Suman did not give out the full details. Shravan scrunched his nose looking at the haldi dudh (milk mixed with turmeric) much to Suman’s amusement. He decided to make Suman’s life a little miserable and said “Masi please give one glass of this milk to Suman too, after all she fought with the thugs too”. Hearing this Ratna Masi said “This girl drains it in the basin,I used to give her sometimes earlier but the moment I am out of sight she will throw it in the basin. She likes only chocolate milk”. Shravan laughed out aloud hearing this.

Shravan was not sure how he would be able to sleep in the clothes which were now soiled due to the earlier ambush but Suman seemed to be aware of that as she walked in with a tank top and some shorts and fresh towels to change for the night. On Shravan’s questioning look Suman mentioned, it is my brother’s you can have them. Shravan changed to the fresh set of clothes which were a little too big for him but given that his hand was covered in a bandage it helped .Suman took him to another room which Shravan figured out was Suman’s room. There werewhole lot of pictures which adorned the walls of the room and Shravan assumed that most of them were probably of her family. One picture which attracted him was Suman, probably in her school days with two ponytails along with a handsome young man although he looked quite older than Suman. Looking at the strikingly similar pictures Shravan assumed, this must be Suman’s brother. Suman barged in her night dress to see Shravan keenly observing the picture and she mentioned “that’smy brother and me when I had met him during my summer vacation”. Shravan turned around to look at Suman looking overtly cute in her tee and pyjamas as he wondered at the contrast about a few hours ago when she was busy punching thugs and now when she seemed like a vulnerable young woman whom Shravan wanted to hold in his arms and protect her from all the worries of the world. To distract himself from Suman he tried to focus back on the picture, and he asked, “So what does your brother do and where is he working now”. Suman’s voice shook as she answered “He is gone where we all will go one day. He works with the Almighty”as she gave a watery smile. Suman sat on the floor next to the bed and shared her past as Shravan put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
