Sameera woke up in the tight embrace of Shrithik. His face was nuzzled in her neck.
Her back was pressed against his chest.
She turned around facing him, as she was not able to get up because of his hand.

His face was so close to hers. Suddenly he fluttered his eyes open. Sameera didn't even blink in surprise.

"Good Morning."

He hugged her tighter and once again nuzzled his face in her neck.

"Good Night, sweetheart. You are very comfortable. Like a teddy bear."

Sameera giggled.
"But you make a better teddy bear. You are bigger than me. Now remove your hand. Maaya is also there."

"You are saying as she can see me. But okay."
He removed his hands and got up. Sameera also got up. Sun still hasn't risen up, but it wasn't dark. And Maaya was also asleep.

After doing his morning buisness, Shrithik was making coffee when Sameera came.

She saw as Shrithik added very less coffee powder in the milk. Very less.

"It's so less. Will you even get the taste? Add some more."

"No."

She looked at him confused.

"Why?"

He scratched his neck awkwardly.

"Promise me, you'll not laugh."

She nodded.

"Caffeine reduces sperm count."

Sameera giggled.
"Too much caffeine effects it. Like 5-6 cups of coffee. One cup will not effect you much."

"I know. But still. Prevention is better than cure."

She laughed.
"You promised me you'll not laugh! It's not even that funny."

He grumbled the last words.

"Yes it is."

"No it's not."

"Yes. It is."

"No, it's not."

"Yes."

"No."

"No."

"Yes."

"Yes. That is what I'm saying old man."

"That's not fair."

Once again he grumbled and she laughed even more.
Slowly the door of Sameera's room opened and Maaya came out. She was still looking tired.

"Good Morning, Maaya. Did you sleep well?"

Maaya nodded and gave her a tired smile.

"Go freshen up. I'll ready the breakfast. Spare toothbrush is the blue one in my bathroom."

Maaya once again nodded and obliged.

Sameera turned to Shrithik and raised her eyebrows. Shrithik mimicked.

"So, you are cooking or I have to?"
She asked.

"Ofcourse, you are. You said that you'll ready the breakfast, so you do it."
Rolling his eyes he went in his room.

Sameera has not cooked anything in three weeks. But fortunately, she still knew how to cook.

After she made poha, she called Shrithik and Maaya.

Maaya was now looking a bit better. She had taken a shower and was wearing Sameera's clothes.

Shrithik could help but think that Sameera looked better in those clothes, which were nothing but a simple pair of black lower and a red tshirt.
Just like sometimes Shrey wears Shrithik's clothes without asking, Maaya wore Sameera's. It's a best friend relation.

Maaya was not in her right state of mind to notice that Sameera placed three plates on the table.

"So.......have you told anyone about it?"
Sameera asked eating her food, refering to the topic of Kartik.

"No. As soon as he went, I came to you."

Sameera smiled assuringly.
"Okay. Don't tell anyone. Everything will be okay by tomorrow."

Maaya nodded. She had full faith in Sameera that she'll do something. Afterall Sameera has always been troublemaker so more trouble won't effect her much.

After dropping Maaya off to her house Sameera looked at Shrithik.
He was also looking at her. They both shared a knowing smile, because they both knew that the thing going in their mind is the same.

____________________________________

"Why do you have to go? I could have done it myself. You could have stayed behind and cooked something, you know."

Shrithik asked driving the car to Karthik's place. Sameera rolled her eyes. He was clearly trying to irritate her, intentionally.

"Because I want to. If you would have not been there, then also I would have done it. So why not now?"

"Hmmmmmm. Looks like you are right. We're here!"

He announced. There were so many big apartments and finding in which flat of which building Kartik lived was a difficult task.

"Uhh....where does that guy live?"

"How am I supposed to know, Sweetheart?"

"You can just use your magic vision."

Shrithik rolled his eyes. Now she was trying to irritate him.

"I know that you are trying to irritate me, sweetheart. Don't worry I have a very thick skin. But for your sake I'll tell you one more time-"

He took a deep breath before snapping

"I'm invisible, not magician!"

Sameera rolled her eyes. And motioned him to lead the way.

"You go to the building in right and check. I'll go to the building in left and ask the watchman."

Sameera stated and he nodded. Shrithik first went in the building, in which he thought Karthik could be. Just a gut feeling.

And to his luck, he saw Karthik climbing the stairs. He followed him to his room and did some spying. He had two roommates and both of them looked like that they'll not even last five minutes in front of Sameera.

He quickly stole the phone numbers of the three guys and went to Sameera. She was just going in another building when she saw him. It looked like he got something.

"Have you got something?"
He nodded and she hurriedly made her way to her car. Shrithik following behind.

"Yeah. C-wing, flat no.431. He has two roommates who looked like they will be easy to lure out of the house. These are the phone numbers of all the three guys."

He said handing her his phone. Sameera nodded and started doing something with her phone.

"What are you doin'?"

She shrugged.

"It's still six in the evening. I'll call the guys and ask them to meet me at the bridge. And when they both will be gone, we'll handle Karthik."

"Use my phone."
She raised her eyebrows questioning him and he made a tch sound.

"My sim card is on a fake ID. Your sim is on your real ID. If any of them happens to have Truecaller, you can get in trouble. So use my phone."

"I've got to say. You are not as dumb as you look."
Giggling at last she dialed one of their numbers, while Shrithik just rolled his eyes.

"Wait! Don't tell them the exact location. Just tell them to meet you under the bridge. Okay?"

"Yes, old man. I was going to do that only. Now can I?"

He nodded and she continued her work.

"Hello?"

"Hello, dear. Do you remember me?"
She asked in a seductive tone to the boy on the other side of the call.

"Who's this?"

"Oh, you don't remember me. We met today. I thought that we could have some fun today. But looks like you don't even remember me."

"Uhhh......fun? What kind of fun are you talking about? And who are you?"

"You can come and meet me, directly. Then I'll give you detailed explanation of what fun I'm talking about. Maybe even practical."

"Uh-hh........"

"What are you thinking so much for? I like you. We can have a good time tonight babe. Meet me under the bridge in thirty minutes. Okay?"

"Ooh---*beep* but whose this?"

Sameera cut the call. Shrithik was looking at her with his mouth agape.

"You're such a..........temptress."

She was suddenly very embarrassed. The most seductive man for her was telling her that she was a temptress.

"D-don't embares me. Would you like to talk to the other one?"

"I have to. If you will talk to both of they'll figure it out that someone is fooling them."

He took the phone from her hand and dialed the second number.
He sometimes surprised Sameera as to why was he so like her. It was good that you don't have explain everything. Just small peices of her mind was enough for him to figure out what exactly was going on in her mind.

"Hello? Is this Mr.Ajay Goyal?"

"Yes. Who's this."

"I'm speaking from the city hospital. We've got a accident victim and this was the number who was last dialed. Your friend, I assume is in very critical condition. If you could please come as soon as possible."

"But who friend-"

"Hello? Hello? I can't hear you Mr.Goyal. Hello?"

And with this he cut the call. This time Sameera was looking at him with her mouth ajar.

"What?"

"You were so..... professional. How could you be like that?"

Shrithik shrugged it off like it was nothing. Well, it actually was nothing to be so surprised about.

"Now, we just have to wait for those two to get out. And then we can go to that bastard."

They waited for about two minutes when the boy to which Shrithik talked came running out of the building. After that the first boy to whome Sameera talked came hiding his face.

Onces they were both out of the sight Sameera turned to Shrithik.

"Are you sure Kartik is still in his apartment?"

"Yes. Now listen first you'll knock on his door and when he'll open it and ask for his phone. As soon as he'll give it to you after unlocking it I'll knock him unconscious. Then we'll delete the photos. Understood?"

"Yes sir!"
Sameera saluted him and he puffed his chest out like a real commander. Both chuckled lowly and then made their way to complete the mission.

Sameera knocked the door of Karthik's flat. After waiting for about two minutes he opened the door and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes?"

"I...um... actually my phone is dead and I want to call my friends. Can you please lend me your phone?"

Karthik was a little suspecious.
"And nobody gave it to you on the road and in the three floors below mine?"

Sameera nodded.
"There was no one down on the street and the people on the floors below didn't. I saw you coming here and you looked like a gentleman do I came here............"

She trailed off. Karthik was still suspecious but nodded. During this time Shrithik went inside and stood exactly behind Karthik.

As soon as Karthik unlocked his phone Shrithik hit his neck. And the next moment Karthik was holding his neck groaning and soon he fell on the ground, unconscious.

"How did you do that?"
Sameera asked surprised. Shrithik smirked.

"Pressure points and hard impacts. Don't worry you'll not understand."

Sameera stuck her tounge out and him and snatched the phone away. That bastard had about five photos which could completely ruin Maaya. After deleting them from everything Sameera stood up.

"Is it done?"
Shrithik asked.

"Yes. Can you bring him back to consciousness?"

"I'll try." Saying this he went to the kitchen and brought some water. Then poured the whole glass on Karthik, causing him to cough.
He opened his eyes slowly and remembered what happened. After sitting up straight he yelled at Sameera.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Sameera and Shrithik both grinned that sinister grin. Sameera was absolutely wrong when she said that Shrithik didn't look evil with it. He could literally beat devil if there was competition of who looked more evil with that grin on.

She crouched down to his level and handed him his phone.

"Maaya's friend. And I have deleted the photos from everything you had. And get ready."

Saying this she stood up and kicked him hard on his face. Causing him to spit blood.

"And, just try to remember how you got unconscious when the thought of informing police crosses your mind."

Once again after kicking him Sameera and Shrithik made their way to their house.
Karthik was lying on the floor with his eyes wide open, a scared feeling and only one thought.
Could it..... could it be that she is a witch?

Ride to their home was silent. Both Sameera and Shrithik were quite. But it was not soon after reaching home Sameera was jumping up and down shouting

"I did it. I did it! Old man, I did it!"

Shrithik was rolling on the floor, laughing. She was dancing like a child who has solved a Rubik's cube for the first time.

Sameera stopped and looked at him rolling on the ground.

"Ay old man. Stop laughing. It's not even that funny."
She said seriously. He took deep breaths in and stopped. But as soon as he saw Sameera, he burst out laughing once again.
Once again rolling on the floor.

Sameera nudged him with her foot. And Shrithik took her leg and bounced her off the floor. Causing a surprised Sameera to trip and fall on her bum.

Shrithik was a powerful man, otherwise who can lift a girl off of the floor holding her legs? And Sameera was very aware and angry on that fact. Why is he so powerful?

"That was not funny at all?"

"That is funny."

"No. It's not."

"Yes it is."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"No."

"Yes."

"Yes. It's what I'm saying. Hee ha h ha ha!"
Yelling this Shrithik ran to his room.

Sameera wondered, if she is also like that. If yes than she must be the most cute yet most annoying person in the world.
