Suvarna's POV.

I pulled hard at his hand when he did not budge. I frowned when he still did not budge. When did he get so strong?

I caught his hand and tried again. "Pushy!" I shouted at him exasperated.

"Go away." He scowled at me.

"Get up."

"No."

"Get up Pushy. We are going out for dinner."

"You are going out for dinner with bhaiya." He said and glued his eyes back on the television.

"We, me, you and Shishir are going. Get up now."

"Bhaiya!"

"Shishir!"

"Um?"

"Your girlfriend is being a pest."

"Hmm."

"What are you 'hmming' about? How can you say I am being a pest Shishir?"

"I did not Suvi-"

"Yes you did! You said 'hmm' which means you agreed with him."

"No- um – Paresh she is not being a pest, she is just pestering you."

"Shishir!"

"Ahhahahaha-"

"Stop laughing Pushy!"

I glared at the duo as they gave each other a 'High five'. "Go to hell both of you." I said and stormed towards my room.

"Suvi! Wait."

"Angry pickle!"

"Paresh shut up. She is pissed already." Shishir said as he pulled at my hand making me stop.

I glared at him and pulled my hand free and walked into my room. "You are my boyfriend and – Shishir! " I gasped as without warning he pushed me to the wall behind.

I stared at him wide eyed as he pinned me on the wall his hands on either side of my head. What has gotten into him?

"Say it again." He said looking at me intently.

I frowned in confusion then I realised what I had said. I had called him my boyfriend. I smiled and looked away remembering our conversation on our pre birthday.

"Say it Suvi." Shishir said bringing his face close to my face. His breath fanned my cheek as I continued to look away.

How do I? His face is so close to mine and his eyes are boring into mine. "Suvi." He whispered into my ears.

I closed my eyes. "Boyfriend." I said softly.

"The whole sentence." He said. I could hear the smile in his voice even with my eyes closed.

"Shishir !" I protested with my eyes still closed.

"Shishir-" he coaxed his lips touching my ears.

"You are my boyfriend Shishir." I said, my voice barely a whisper.

"You are the love of my life girlfriend." He whispered back as he planted a soft kiss on my cheek.

I opened my eyes at his words and looked into his dark eyes. I gazed at him not able to tear my eyes away from his face.

He lifted his hand to my cheek caressing it with his finger. He smiled and said "Let's go. We will be late for dinner."

I nodded.

"Tell me when it is safe to open my eyes." I heard Paresh's voice from just outside my room and immediately my face warmed up. Shishir chuckled as he took my hand in his and pulled me along with him.

"If you two have finished your X rated act, can we leave for dinner?" He asked with a wide grin directed towards me and Shishir.

"So you have decided to come now to dinner?" I asked him indignantly even as Shishir hit him on his back for what he had said.

"I have to or a pest will keep pestering me." He said his grin widening. I hit him on his arm making him laugh harder.

I am glad he has agreed. I could not have left him alone knowing how upset he has been in the past two days.

I felt Shishir's arm on my shoulder as he squeezed it gently. I smiled at him knowing he was happy that I had convinced Paresh to come out with us. I knew he was also worried about Paresh.

Aditya had manipulated a lot of people and situations. Others wre facing the consequences of his meaningless vendetta.

On their own accord my thoughts went back to that night three years ago. I closed my eyes and shut those thoughts away- for now..

Shishir  took us to a small restaurant not far away from the apartment block. I loved the ambiance as soon as I stepped in.

When we were seated at our table I looked around and saw most of the tables were occupied.There was mainly family crowd.

"Do you want to try their thali?" Shishir asked looking at Paresh and me.

"Thali?" I asked a smile gracing my lips. I realised this was an Indian restaurant and nodded enthusiastically "Yes please." I said happily and looked at Paresh enquiringly.

He shrugged casually saying he is okay with it. "Anything is good." He said before adding "Other than banana and carrot stuffed capsicum." He pulled a face while saying that.

"Yuck! Only someone insane will make such a weird thing." Shishir said with a grimace before I could retort to Paresh.

I spun my head towards him and Paresh raised his eyebrows his face taking a smug look. Shishir looked from him to me before realisation dawned.

"You- made that?"

I nodded "I will give it to you tomorrow for breakfast. You can taste yourself and see it is not bad at all."

"What? I mean – Suvi- a rioe banana in a capsicum??" he grimaced.

"First taste and then decide." I insisted.

"Khikhikhikhikhikhikhi-" Pushkar went as he chortled in laughter.

"I – Suvi actually I have an early morning meeting so I will leave early – very early." Shravan said glaring at Paresh who laughed harder. "Give my share to Paresh."

That shut Paresh up and I smiled to myself. The truth was I had intentionally made that stuffing for just one piece in my attempt to goad Paresh into reacting. The remaining had proper Potato stuffing with required spices.

***

After dinner when we stepped out Shishir put his arm on my shoulder. "The food was great. Thank you." I had really enjoyed the simple Indian food after so many days. It made me realise how much I was missing home and my family.

"I used to eat here often over the years, made me feel better whenever I felt too homesick or lonely." Shishir said looking at me.

Once again my heart went out at the thought of him being away from home for so many years.

We had reached his car by then. "Do we have to take the car? It is such a pleasant night. We could have had such a lovely stroll." I said.

"We have to take the car back Suvi. We cannot leave it here." Shishir said opening the door for me to get in.

"I will take it back. You two walk back." Paresh  said pulling the keys from Shishir's  hands.

"You would?" I asked looking at him happily.

"Yup!" He said getting in the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Don't be too naughty you two. Not too many X rated scenes. "He said cheekily as he pulled the car away.

"Ass!" Shishir laughed at him good naturedly before turning his attention to me.

"So girlfriend, you want a 'romantic walk' back home?" He asked pulling me to his side.

I laughed hitting his hand. "A 'healthy walk' home."

I looked at him. "Shishir I have been thinking about something."

"What?" He asked.

"About what Aditya-"

"Suvi you don't have to worry about that-" he started but I interrupted him.

"It is not that. I know you are taking care of everything." I looked at him "I want to come in front and stop being anonymous."

Shishir's POV.

I looked at Suvi in concern. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I am. I want to do this."

I looked at her face and saw the determined look. I knew she has made up her mind to do it. I had known eventually she would do this since she is such a strong person from within.

"You do realise it will not be easy right? You will need to talk to your family about it too if you decide to tell authorities about it." I warned.

"I know." she said quitely.

"I am with you Suvi. You have my support in whatever you decide." I said taking her hand in mine.

" I know Shishir." She gave me a smile. "I get my strength from you." she said.

I pulled her to me and she rested her head on my arm as we walked in the night towards my apartment.

I knew this was not going to be easy. There would be a lot of questions from both, hr families and authorities.

She will be asked a lot of questions that is bound to make her relive those moments.

My jaw clench at the thought of her suffering. I feel beyond angry at the pathetic excuse I have for a cousin –Aditya.

We had not been close after entering our teens. Once he had been sent to hostel I never met him. Mainly because later I had also come away to London.

When the fraud case had come up I had met the company representatives and legal advisers and had never come face to face with Aditya or Golu as I had always called him.

The other day at Delhi Airport our meeting had been too brief and I had not recognised him at all, having met him after so many years.

He had been lurking around me all this while and trying to harm me and I had no clue. He always has been a sly one and nothing has changed even now. He still has not informed his parents about his arrest and I doubt he has any plans to.

I know I will have to tell them if he does not eventually since I am also related to them. That I am sure will give him another reason to hate me.

"Shishir?" Suvi's voice made me look at her. "Did you find out how the button from your shirt reach- reach in Ricky's hand? Since he and Rita both are insisting they did not steal it."

"Aditya." I said my lips twisting in disgust. "He has been busy creating evidences against me."

"But how?" Summvi asked frowning.

I sighed "My hunch is, he had arranged for the shirt for my mother, when she had wanted to gift one to me. I have a strong feeling he had removed the button even before he gave it to my mother."

"He has been planning so shrewdly." Suvi said sounding angry.

"Not so shrewd this one." I chuckled.

"What do you mean?" Suvi asked.

"Since the button never reached me so it will never have my fingerprint. So even if he had succeeded in framing me, it would have boomeranged since it would have had his and Ricky's fingerprints." I said shaking my head at his stupidity.

"Shishir ."

"Hmm?"

"I want to meet Ricky."

"Suvi-"

"I need to Shishir, please?" she said her tome pleading.

"Okay, fine." I give in to her wish. "I will take you to him and we can talk to him.".

"Not we- only me. Please? " she said very quietly.

"No! I will not let you do that Suvi!" I said angrily.

"Shishir this is important for me." she said.

"So I am taking you to him. But no way am I leaving you alone with him in a room." I said tightening my hold on her. Has she lost her mind?

"I need a closure on this Shishir. I need to move on from my fear of that night."

"And how will my being around stop you from that?" I asked feeling irritated.

"Shishir you don't understand!"

"Damn right. I don't!"

"Shishir with you beside me I feel secure and safe under all circumstances. But for me to overcome my fear I need to talk to him alone. Besides he is behind bars now, so I will not be totally alone or at any risk." She reasoned.

I looked at her for long "No!" I said hugging her close.

She did not say anything, but knowing her I knew the topic was not over. But this time I am not giving in.

We entered the gates of the apartment block in silence. Suvi was very quite as she walked beside me. I held her hand tightly in mine.

"Hello." I heard a voice say and both of us turned in that direction.

Rahul!

He beamed at us. I gave him a dark scowl. Of course he missed it completely.

"Hello Suvarna ." He said smiling at her.

"Hi Rahul." Suvarna said sounding delighted to see him making me feel pissed. Why does she have to be so happy to see this cartoon?

"Hi Shishir." He said looking at me.

"Goodnight Rahul" I said pointedly pulling Suvi with me.

"Shishir! Wait." Suvi Said making me glare at her.

"I have an early morning mting Suvi. We cannot hang out till late." I said not feeling happy at all.

"So you go up. I will come up later." She said making me angry.

"Yes Shishir. I will escort her up later. Don't worry." Rahul said sounding a little too enthusiastic at the prospect.

"No!" I looked at Suvi showing her my displeasure.

"Actually It has been a long day. I am feeling sleepy." Suvi said making me smile. "I will see you later Rahul."

"Sure. Goodnight." He said smiling. I dragged Suvi away.

"Shishir Mehrotra is never jealous." Suvi mocked in a sing song voice as we walked away.

"Correct. I am not." I said pouting a little.

"Ya ya ya ya." She rolled her eyes laughing at me.

"Suvi." I warned.

She giggled and shouted "Jealous!" and started running.

"You wait." I said chasing after her.
