The Path To Forever 💙💜♾️

43. Lovers???

He massaged her head and made her sleep , not before making a note to take her to the hospital.

As I parked in the private lot of the DIG office, I slouched in the driver's seat, letting out a frustrated sigh. The tinted windows shielded me as I mulled over the whirlwind of events since I took on this government project. My mind felt like a tangled web of unanswered questions.

And then I saw them.

Ashwin stood nearby, gripping Sivaangi's elbow tightly. My pulse quickened in anger, but before I could react, she pushed him away with a firm shove. He stumbled slightly, recovering with a smirk that made my jaw clench.

She didn't stop there. A slap landed on his cheek. Yet, he only laughed, placing his palm over his cheek, his eyes twinkling with mischief. Then, to my utter disbelief, he began doing squats, holding his ears like a schoolboy caught in the act.

What an idiot!

I gripped the steering wheel tighter, about to step out and intervene, but my breath hitched when I saw what happened next. Sivaangi, with a sudden boldness, grabbed Ashwin by his collar and kissed his forehead.

Wait... Are they lovers?

She waved him goodbye and started to walk away, but his voice stopped her. She turned back, holding out her hand expectantly. He smiled, pulled a chocolate bar from his pocket, and placed it in her hand before patting her head affectionately.

Just then, her phone rang. While she answered the call, Ashwin rummaged through her bag, casually pulling out her water bottle. He took a swig as though it was the most natural thing in the world. They exchanged a few words, and I could sense his frustration from his body language. With a huff, he retrieved his laptop from his car and placed it on the bonnet.

Sivaangi tried to jump onto the bonnet to sit but failed miserably, her petite frame making the attempt almost comical.

I couldn't help but think, She’s actually kind of cute...

Without hesitation, Ashwin lifted her effortlessly and placed her on the bonnet like it was second nature. He handed her the laptop and tucked AirPods into her ears, their quiet interaction brimming with an unspoken understanding.

Just then, Surya appeared, walking alongside a young woman—probably her colleague, Agalya. He greeted the trio, exchanging a few words before walking off with Ashwin, leaving the girls behind.

And there I sat, watching, with too many questions and not enough answers.

Just then Surya called me to come to the office on the second floor. I glanced at the girls and quickly passed them and entered the office. Soon the girls too reached there. 

Surya: Sorry to inform you. We tapped your website and found the employers list. 

Dhruv: How could you just do that?

Ashwin: See, your so-called uncle didn't give details. We have no way. As per the forensic reports, the fingerprint we found on the leg belongs to a man and the leg and hand belongs to a woman around 25-30 and men 30-32 respectively. The legal advisors are in the process of matching with their blood group. If you get any information about any long leave employee please inform us. That's the end of discussion. Come here at 8 tomorrow.

Everyone can disperse. 

Dhruv stormed out of the office. Ashwin placed his car key on the desk. His wife grabbed it and moved out with Agalya.
