"Your husband, Yuvi sir!"

"Oh! Give" She got the phone from Sara.

Meanwhile, she signed the file.

Elisa went out getting, the file.

IN THE PHONE,

" Why are you calling Sara, Yuvi?"

" Where the hell is your phone?"

"It's here..." She searched on her desk.

"Shit! Switched off!"

"That I know, that's why I contacted Francis and got Sara's number. What's this Pari? I was worried you left the other phone here and the other one is switched off"

"Sorry, Yuvi. I didn't notice, I am really really sorry!" She apologized.

" That's fine for the one last time. We are discussing some important things today evening, about Deepthi Sid and Zara Karthick's wedding preparation. Can you come soon in the evening?"

"Yeah, but with Karthick's state?"

" He wants to get married in the fixed time it seems!" He chuckled.

" That man, he doesn't want to take leave. I will make sure that he gets at least two months of medical leave. How he gonna marry with that broken hand?" She let out a frustrated sigh.

"Let's talk about it in the evening. I have booked for dining at Louis rooftop. You should be there before 5 PM, can you?"

" Yeah, I will go meet Karthick then will join you guys. By the way who is with Karthick?"

" Zara is with her, just an hour before Deepu returned home. Between I got the news that Zara slapped you?"

" You determined to poke me, right? How can you ask this Yuvi? Shame for me, my husband is not at all defending me!" She exclaimed.

"My wife doesn't need my defense she herself is good at it. And also I and Sid visited the hospital, after our meeting; so Zara said you took it sportive after all she is your friend"

"Oh! Yeah," She muttered.

"You okay, right? Did you feel low?"

"Nope, I was just shocked that's it. Nothing more than that, she came here and apologized to me"

"Okay good then wifey!"

" You guys go first, I will join in the middle. I have to go home and freshen up first"

"Okay, then see ya there. Love you!"

" Love you too, then can I end the call?"

"Wait did you have your lunch?"

" Uhh! No, I am gonna have now"

" Go do that first, bye"

"Yup, bye"

She ended the call smiling to herself.

" You love him a lot!?" This was from Sara, it was neither a question nor a statement she wants to hear it from Pari.

" A lot!" Pari gave pressure to the word "lot" with a wide grin plastered on her face.

" I can see that mam" Sara grinned back.

"Huh! Where is your loverboy? He went to eat without you?"

" Mam, that's no fun okay?" She whined.

" It, it is!" Giggled, Pari.

" No! It is not, it's freaking one year he still didn't propose at least to be his girlfriend! Sometimes I feel like am I the only one who feels it?"

"No, no. He is just you know moody one. There must be some reason, you saw through your own eyes right? He is damn protective of you! Just wait for a little, if nothing workouts you propose him"

" What if he rejects?"

" He will not! Even if he tries, just drop a bomb that you gonna accept other proposals. The possessive man in him will do some magic" Pari giggled and Sara giggled back.

There was a knock on their door.

"Come in!"

Francis entered with two trays one above the other in his hands.

"What's that?" Pari asked.

" Lunch! Rice and mushroom gravy" he said as he kept the tray on the desk.

" Wow, that's great. I was incredibly hungry. Rat and mouses are running in my stomach!"  Both chuckled at her sentence.

Then Sara and Pari started eating with some conversation in between.

After lunch, they resumed the task. Francis went to see the assistants work.

When it was 3 Pari decided to call it a day.

" Okay, Sara it's time. I need to leave now"

"Yess, Mam!"

"Submit the reports by tomorrow, I will do some research from my side. I am really sorry to pile up works for you. My sister and brother are getting married in the same period so, I don't know which to finish first"

" That's totally fine mam, I understand your situation. And you are not piling up it's my job to do"

"Thank you so much!" She hugged Sara.

Then she started to the hospital to visit Karthick.

The ride was silent, the lack of sleep made her sleep. Even though she slept for a good amount of time she was tired.

This is nothing new in her profession, she habituated to the work pressure but this different...

Now she has a family, her husband.

She had a father and sister already they were not bothered because she is a government staff with security whereas his father was mostly abroad. So she was working without any fears but now she got a threat, for the first-ever, she is clueless about something.

She woke with a jerk when the driver hit the sudden break.

"What happened?" She asked the driver.

" Sorry, mam! A lady ran in suddenly" He said apologetically.

"It's okay!" Then she noticed that they are just a few minutes away from the hospital.

She then straightened herself as they reached the hospital, Pari splashed some cold water on her face in the sink present in the parking of the hospital.

She felt someone's eyes on her, she felt it.

She turned to people scattered everywhere but none was specifically looking at her, she felt odd she knew someone is stalking her but this is the first she felt it.

" That bloody Psycho! Son of b*tch!" She muttered under breath.

She wandered her eyes everywhere wishing that she could get a hint about him.

Suddenly her mobile phone vibrated in her pocket.

<<

Hey, my dear Lil Pumpkin,

You are desperate to see me, right? I know but don't search for me you will not get to see me. My munchkin, don't worry, very soon I will take you. I will come for you princess.

>>

"Shit! He is here!" She didn't waste time standing there, she entered the elevator and pressed Karthick's floor number.

" Hello, Francis you still in office?" She dialed Francis.

"No mam, I came out anything you want?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah, That creep just now messaged me. He is here!"

" You mean the stalker, right?"

"Yes!"

" Mam, Sara is there in the office. I will reach there in half an hour"

"Yup, I will call her!"

She then dialed Sara.

" Hello, mam?" Her voice laced question.

"Sara, Check whether Sam or Vishwa (Cyber technicians) is still there, quick!"

" No mam, they left in next minutes after you departed"

" Shit! Okay, run to the control room and trace a number that I say. Quick!"

"But mam, will they allow me in? Because only higher officers have access there!"

"It's you who is not using your ID card, otherwise are an investigator too. It's just you are junior to me, now run to control room"

" Yeah, mam. In minutes" She ran to control room with her ID.

" Excuse me, Sara Evangeline I.P.S from the special branch I need to get in to trace a number," She asked a woman at the reception there.

She stood and saluted as she heard the title IPS.

" Mam, you can your ID there it will give you access"

"Yup, Thank you!"

" Mam!"

"Yea?"

" While leaving please register your biometrics, so that from next time you don't your ID"

" Sure!" She said with a smile and entered inside.

There were more than 10 desks present there but there were only 5 members.

" Hello! Can anyone help me? I need to trace a number immediately!"

"You are?" A lady over there asked her.

" Sara Evangeline IPS from special branch"

" Tell them you are my junior and there will be a person named John, go to him"

" I am Parinithi mam's junior, who is John here?"

"Here, come over here!" A man in his middle twenties called her.

" Yes?" He asked smiling.

"Mam, number?"

" **********," Pari said as she sat on the couch in Karthick's room.

Hearing the number John entered the number on the computer and started to trace.

" Mam, it's showing somewhere near Australia"

" What the hell?! If he is not here then how the hell is he telling my minute actions?" She cursed under her breath.

"What shall we do next mam?"

"Collect the location at least!" She gritted out the words.

"Mam! Wait!" John yelled.

" Sara put the phone on speaker!"

Sara put it on the speaker.

As they were at the end of the room others didn't hear much.

" Mam, his location is now somewhere near Nepal..."

" Huh? What?"

" Now Malaysia... Nigeria"

" What the hell!?"

Again a message pinged on her mobile.

<<

My Darling,

Don't try to trace me, you can't trace me until I myself reveal where I am!

Bye!!

>>

"Mam now switched off! He is playing with technology his location kept changing every 30 seconds" John slumped down his shoulder.

" Hell!" Pari muttered disconnected the call in frustration.

This is the first time she is getting something digitally and with this, she thought she could some clue.

"John, can you please give me the details about the number?"

"It will be of n..."

" No use I know, but it's okay please give it" she smiled.

" Okay, madam!" He mocked her.

He then took a print out of the details and gave it to her.

" Thank you!" She started to leave the place, John trailed behind her till the reception.

" Excuse me, Sara. Coffee?" He asked scratching his head.

"Er..." She was interrupted by Francis.

" She won't come anywhere! Did you get anything?" He started with John and ended with Sara.
