29 chapter 29

Angad's sudden calm and composed behavior has only added to his impatience as he abruptly stood up facing his back to his friend. "Just spit it out" he said titling his head to his side.

"I have seen her pulse rate; it is actually fluctuating according to what she hears. That explains her blood-pressure which is in turn caused by her natural anxiety. That is a sign. But this reaction is very minute, as minute as you can define, but a reaction nevertheless. And, this happened---"

Arnav's shoulder's stiffened when his friend trailed off exactly where he expected he would proving his initial suspects to be true. He just remained patient hoping against hope, for his instincts to be proven wrong for the first ever time.

"This happened when Lavanya spoke about the Sexual Harassment incidents at her work, exaggerating it a bit like I asked her to---this somehow gives me a thought that may be Khushi might have been through some kind of physical assault-----" he hesitated for only a moment before Arnav turned around abruptly throwing fierce glances at his friend, his eyes smoldering venom.

"Don't you dare go there Angad!" He snapped again. "This has nothing to do with her recovery!" he raised his voice a little controlling the sudden urge to yell as his fist hardened digging into his own palm.

"Denying won't help Arnav and I seriously think we should give this a try, it might really work!"

"Have you completely lost it????" Arnav finally yelled startling the entire waiting hall instantly demanding attention. "Arnav--"

"Enough!" he yelled again pointing his one finger. "Not another word" he whispered dangerously low.

"But--"

"NOT.ANOTHER.WORD.ANGAD!" He stressed giving him one hard glare and leaving the hall ignoring everything and everyone around.
