Backpackers tales

Foodie love story

Chapter -53

Adrith sat still. “Due to heavy bleeding, she lost the ability to bear a child. When she met Anand his first question was – I want a child. I love children. If you are okay let’s start dating. Else we break here itself. Out of temptation and a mind not to lose a rich life, Kranti lied to him. This I don’t know if Anand knew or not, that she is dead today”. “You didn’t tell him” “She asked me not to tell him. Also I told Anand I will counsel her, but not test her. So he would never know”.

Keeping the phone down she looked at Adrith, “Now I understand why she wanted to stay with me after a year of breakup. She wanted to take good rest. We never made love that year” he kept quiet. “She never loved me Athreya. I like an idiot loved her so much. I thought after a year she coming back is only for me. How much she hid from me”. His face fell very badly. “Don’t get hurt, adrith. Some people come into our life not to love, but to get loved. You loved her, cared her be satisfied than getting hurt”.

“Now coming to the case, either Anand should have killed here after knowing the truth or Sampath must have carried suspicion or hate and must have killed her. Only two ways are there” “Yes now we have a rope to walk on. Why don’t we divide researching among us, then think what to do next?” “Good idea. I will research about Sampath while you concentrate on Anand. We will meet after a week” “A week” “Yes we have to work on our travel show” “You said you are walking out” “I did in the heat of the moment. Didn’t mean it” “Sorry for behaving like a child” For a second Athreya looked at him. His face turned childish and something made her like him. She stared at his eyes for sometime and suddenly told herself “No” “I am feeling hungry, can you get me something to eat. Another 3 hours sun will rise, then we can go home”.
