Suvarna's POV.

I looked at Shishir as he started the car and then firmly turned my face away and looked out of the window.

If he tries to talk to me I will not respond I thought to myself. How can he be so careless? We had been so worried and clueless about where he was.

Luckily after entering his study and seeing the files he was going through we realised he had been checking on the case details. Immediately Paresh left to check in his office and I came here with Charles.

I texted Paresh that Shishir was with me. I smiled at his response:

'Rest in peace.'

Charles must have already called him to tell him what had happened I thought still smiling.

Shishir can honestly be that frightening when he is furious.

I frowned realising the car had already been in motion for a few minutes and Shishir had not yet tried to talk to me!

I half turned to steal a glance at him. He was driving with a grim expression on his face. his attention totally on the road in front.

Is he giving me the silent treatment? He cannot! I am the one who has the right to be angry here. Not him!

He is supposed to insist and beg me to talk to him! I stared at him for a few seconds and as though he sensed my eyes on him he glanced at me.

On seeing my eyes at him he raised an eyebrow giving me a smug look.

I turned away hastily.

The Arrogant man!

He had been like a raging volcano and totally helpless just few minutes back and now he seems cooler than a cucumber.

Right then the car pulled to a halt at the traffic lights. I risked a look at him and saw he was grinning and waving at me.

At last!

Immediately I turned my face away from him and looked out of the window - to find a pretty girl from the adjacent car wave at me too.

I frowned in confusion and looked at Shishir. That is when I realised he had not been grinning at me but at the girl in the next car!

The pretty girl in the next car.

The pretty blonde girl in the next car.

My eyes widened when I saw the girl signal at her phone and Shishir nodded enthusiastically in agreement. Just then his phone rang.

"Hey Betty! How are you sweetheart?" He babbled.

Sweetheart!

I turned to glare at the girl in the car and saw she had her eyes trained on Shishir as she smiled broadly and spoke into the phone.

"I know it's been ages since we met." Shishir said and I focused my glare at him now as he paused to hear whatever was being told on the other side.

"Yes weekend sounds perfect. Let's meet at our regular joint." Shishir said happily.

Too happily.

I turned to squint and glare at the girl in the next car and saw she was smiling ear to ear.

I wanted to pick up a stone and smash that window and maybe her teeth too!

No Suvi! Control. Take hold of your feelings. I took a deep breath but all control went out of the car window at Shishir's next words.

"Did you like my gift?"

Gift??

"Only the best for you my sweetheart."

The lights turned green just then.

"Hey need to go. I will see you this weekend."

He heard briefly and then-

"Love you too."

My jaw dropped open

Love you too!

Sweetheart!

I focused my glare solely at Shishir as he started the car and directed in ahead out of the traffic.

Not able to control my feeling I blurted "You seem to be very fond of Betty." I said pointedly.

"Very." Came the response as he turned briefly and smirked at me.

Jerk.

"She holds a special place in my heart." He said touching the left side of his chest briefly before placing that hand back on the steering wheel.

Pompous jerk.

"Great." I spat out fuming.

"I know." he grinned.

"I hope you have a nice time this weekend."

"I am sure I will."

I think I heard a chuckle. He better not be laughing right now!

"Good." I said in response not ready to let go of the conversation yet.

Betty was most certainly no five year old neighbour!

My attention snapped back at the man at the sound of a whistle tune. He is whistleing a merry tune!

"You seem to be very happy." I said fuming under my breath.

"Very." He agreed, emphasising on the word as he pulled the car inside the gates of his apartment block.

As soon as the car stopped I tried to get out of the car only to find the door was locked.

I felt my hand being tugged and felt myself hit Shishir's chest,

"I gifted her these earrings." He said showing me his phone screen -a beautiful pair of gold earring, with multi coloured stones studded on it.

I fumed angrily and felt my fingers curl in a fist.

Before I could react he pulled me closer and brought his mouth near my ears. "I ordered them online- as my Rakhi gift to her."

He whispered the last part, with laughter dripping from his voice.

I shut my eyes feeling my cheeks warm up.

"W-why are you telling me all this?" I blurted

"You are my girlfriend so you should know the people close to me." He said laughing softly. "You were not jealous back then were you?"

"N- no! No no. Of course not." I said quickly. Too quickly.

The cheeky man's grin broadened. "Right." He drawled and I wanted to slap that grin off his face.

Silly Suvi! You made a complete fool of yourself I thought fighting an urge to face palm.

Instead I looked at the totally infuriating man "I had in fact been wondering why you were not asking any questions of - you know the gap in memory."

I really was curious at the sudden change in his emotions from before he sat in the car.

I saw a flicker of emotion pass on his face and he shrugged "I knew you would not tell me and would probably ignore me and give me a silent treatment."

Damn this man! He knows me too well.

He got down from the car and I quietly followed him. He reached for my hand as we walked in and tucked it under his arm.

As the elevator doors closed he planted a kiss on my check "My silly jealous girlfriend." He whispered laughing

I opened my mouth to protest but the doors opened at the next floor and two men got in . So I decided to keep my mouth shut and just shot Shishir a narrowed eyes gaze.

Unabashed he grinned "Betty is Danny's younger sister. Few years back she got to know about Rakhi festival. She was absolutely fascinated by this festival to celebrate the brother sister bond." He said as the elevator reached his floor. "she ties Rakhi to me ever since."

On entering the apartment I saw Paresh was back already . Danny and Rahul were also with him.

They came over to us as we entered. "I should have expected this from you." Danny said as he looked at Shishir with a smile.

Shishir laughed "We met Betty on our way back. Our cars got stuck adjacent to each other at a traffic light."

"Oh you met my comic strip sister?" Danny asked looking at me.

"Comic strip?" I asked in confusion.

"Betty Cooper from Archie comics." Danny said with a laugh. "since our last name is Cooper and she has blonde hair my parents thought it was a good idea to name her Betty." He said fondly about his sister. "Though she thinks this incorrigible man here is a better brother to her than I am." He looked pointedly at Shishir who laughed and pumped his arm.

I realised, not for the first time about the easy bond these two share.

My eyes met Shishir's laughing gaze and felt my cheeks warm knowing very well he was thinking about my reaction in the car.

He winked at me and I had to suppress the giggle that almost left me. I gave him a mock frown as he grinned at me.

I realised Rahul was saying something to me and turned my face to him.

"Did you say something?" I asked him smiling.

"I wanted some water to drink." He answered with a smile.

"Of course. " I said and went and fetched a bottle from the fridge and poured him some in a glass.

"Thank you." He said taking a small sip.

Shishir's POV.

I grinned at Suvi as she frowned at me. I had no intention of teasing her in the car but her reaction had been priceless, before I could tell her who Betty was. So I had just played along.

She really is adorable- My thoughts stopped right there when I saw Rahul say something to her with a smile and she smiled back before going and fetching water for the bugger.

He cannot get his own water? Or ask Paresh or me for water?

I don't know why I don't like Suvi around him but I am sure there must be a reason.

Damn this memory gap!

My anger increased when I saw him take the tiniest of sip from the glass. He was not thirsty at all. He was just wanting to grab Suvi's attention.

And this girl better stop smiling at him, unless she wants to see his limbs torn apart!

I turned to Danny. "Come into my study. I want to talk to you about something."

I walked away without waiting for any of them to protest.

I frowned disapprovingly when Rahul also came in with Danny.

What was I thinking when I called this nincompoop to London to work with me? I guess I will not know till I get my memory back.

I decided to ignore him and took out the files I had been studying before I had gone out.

"Before I went and met the officer a lot of details in the file did not make sense. " I said looking at Danny "But now I can think of some points. For example this button mentioned here." I pointed at the detail "If it was taken off before the shirt reached me, then it will not have my fingerprints and in all likelihood will have Aditya's."

Danny nodded. "A good point."

Just then the door to my study opened and Paresh and Suvi came in. "Dadaji called. He said he and Suvi's Nanu will be away for few more days. They are going on to some outing to some cabins and in some interior parts and there may be no network. So they thought to inform us, lest we worry." Paresh said.

I nodded, remembering Paresh and Suvi telling me the previous night that our Grandparents were here.

It is perhaps good they are not here since they are not aware of my accident. Paresh went out but Suvi gave me a disapproving look as she saw the file in my hand.

I grinned at her "I will not take long. I promise."

I turned my attention back to the file I was going through with Danny and Rahul in my study as soon as Suvi went out of my study, warning me not to stress.

I am not letting go of Ricky so easily no matter what Suvi says. I open my mouth but before I can say anything Rahul says "I really like her! I will make her my wife very soon."

"Who?" Danny asked before I can.

"Suvarna." He sighs.

I got up, my chair crashing down behind me.

I had almost reached him when Danny came and forcibly stopped me. I glared at him even as Danny held me

I could feel my face flamed up with heat.

"How dare you?" I said my voice dangerously low as I stared at the silly bugger.

"I really like her. And I will make her very happy." He said giving me a confused look.

I pushed heavily at Danny's hand trying to reach the idiot in front of me.

"Are you mad? Or do you have a suicidal wish?" Danny gritted out at dumb ass as he tried hard to refrain me.

"I don't understand. I am sure she likes me too." He said sounding pitiful.

That did it. With one heave I freed myself from Danny's hold and reached Rahul.

I caught him roughly by his shirt and was about to pull him close and land a punch on his confused and bewildered face when the door of my study opened.

"What is going on?" An unexpected voice asked.

Suvarna's POV.

I heard the doorbell ring and Paresh let someone in.

I tried to see who it was as the man approached Shishir's study and opened the door.

I saw his face just as I heard him ask.

"What is going on?"

Raghunath Uncle!

"Papa!" I heard Shishir's happy sounding voice from inside and a feeling of despair invaded me.

Shishir does not remember what happened!

So Billy arrives when Sexy Shark and Willy are away!
