My Nepenthe

Chapter 30

"You are under estimating Shivaay, Omkara and Rudra. Until they are present, Tej cannot be harmed. Why don't you understand?"

"They are a bunch of dumbwits with big egos and messed up love lives. Too drowned in the soup, they won't know what hit them until I get to the main head. Even if you don't, I do trust my abilities," he said in confidence.

"Think Karan, once Omkara is out of picture you can have G...."

"Don't even dare to complete that sentence," he roared making her take a step back.

"I am not sick. I will deal with things my way. Don't expect me to turn into you."

Svetlana wasn't happy but she cannot be cross with the only formidable help she had in years. Not when she is too close in finding something big.

"Fine, we will think about it later. For now, let us get to work," she tried to placate.

Karan still seethed at the implication.

Why the hell did he even agree to work with a woman like her?

Right, he needed to know who hurt his father. He wanted to know how his father who was a simple middle-class man end up in coma after being beaten up by a group of gangsters. Those men who claimed that it was Tej Singh Oberoi who sent them to do the work.

Begrudgingly he started the system and inserted the pen drive to find his clue.

"Bhabhi, why did you call me urgently?"

Gauri smiled in relief looking at Bhavya. After much thought she decided to let out her doubt to someone sane and Bhavya was the first name that came to her mind.

"Come inside Bhavya," she said.

"So, you are not staying in the guest room then," Bhavya said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yeah, I called you so that you could tease me," she rolled her eyes and the latter laughed.

"Meri pyaari Bhabhi. You look cute when you blush. I wanted to see that."

Gauri sighed and looked at the clock. She then silently went to the door and locked it shut.

"Is everything alright Bhabhi?" Bhavya asked, confused at the behaviour.

"Everything is more than fine Bhavya. But I feel something wrong is about to happen," Gauri said revealing her doubts.

"Karan? Why would he go to the storeroom?" Bhavya asked in confusion.

"Exactly, why would he? And even if he went, why would the CCTV get damaged on the same day?"

The cop thought for a second before she asked, "You said you brought the Murthy on the day before, right?"

"Yeah"

"Can I take a look at it?"

"It is in the mandir, but if we go and check like this then..."

"Right, when will Omkara bhaiyya return?"

"He said he will be back in an hour."

"Rudra is out as well and Shivaay bhaiyya said he has a video conference in some time with Papa ji," she further provided.

"Let us go Bhabhi, we won't get a better time. Are the morning prayers done? Daadi might..."

"I will watch out for you then. You go in first and call me if you find something," Gauri said and the latter nodded her head.
