The Broken Souls (Beyond the love)

55. Her first letter

I opened the letter slowly and instead of blue ink I introduced with yellow. I bring the letter close to my nose and sniff. It's turmeric. She maybe ran out of pens. I have to call Shastri ji to give her the box of pens so she could write letters to me without getting disturb though it's very cute and fond of that she wrote a letter for me with turmeric paste. I pushed all thoughts aside and started reading her letter.

Dear Dhruv,

I hope you are taking care of yourself in between your busy schedule. I am sorry for the yellow ink. I used the turmeric paste as I ran out of pens and the excitement of writing letter to you did not let me wait till morning.

I chuckled softly of her little confession. Though I smell the turmeric when I opened the letter before I could red her letter.

As far as I know you..you might be smiling right now on my stupidness.

She know me well but she is not stupid. I grin and continue to read.

Thankyou for asking Raghav to pick me and drop to the house. I feel safe with him, after you and it saves a lot of time, give me more hours to study.

I put my internship on hold because I have my exam. Shastri ji also asked me to continue it later and wants me to focus on my exams.

I know it was not Shastri ji to put my internship on hold, it was you who wants me to focus on my studies first.

Thankyou Dhruv, for everything you have done for me. You have come into my life like an angle. I don't know if it's not you, I may die in next few years because of hunger. It's not about the food and medicines, you gave me the mental peace which I never get in my life. You gave me the hope to live and fight for myself.

I still feel lonely and my mind may not at peace completely but it's in better condition than before. At least now I have some peace in my mind that you are with me right now.

Dhruv I don't know, what I am to you or what relationship we both have between us but I don't want you to be the part of my messed up life. It's dark and dangerous. It was about something you may not handle in spite of you have power in your hands. I don't want you to get your hands dirty to cleaning the mess of my life. My family already leave me and it would not surprise me if you leave me too.

I know you may get angry after reading this letter but I have my insecurities and fear. At least I would be at peace that you are safe and living your life with your love one.

I hope you like my gift and fits you well. I am missing you my handsome neighbour.

                                                Aditi...

Yes, the last paragraph of her letter upsets me. It makes me angry. How could she think that I am going to leave her leaving her in that hell. I have cleared this with her many time but why didn't she understands that I never going to leave her hand ever and what danger she was talking about. For God sake I am District Magistrate. I have powers in my hand. I can do anything. Raghav is with me and if he came to know that something bad happened to her sister I am damn sure he would not sit in peace until he crack every single bone of that person.

I picked my phone and dialled the private investigator number whom I hired to find about Aditi's past. He picked the call after two bells. I stood up from the chair and walked in the middle of the room with phone stick to my ear.

"It's already more than a week and you didn't give me a single detail." I barked on him and fisted my hand to control my anger.

"I am sorry sir but the work you have gave me, I did not find the single detail about it. Just little bit information. You friend Aditi was missing for at least one month in eight years ago and one day she suddenly come back. Her family did not accept her and throw her out from the house. People said that she ran away with her boyfriend and her boyfriend abandoned her after taking advantages of her."
