IPKKND FF FELONIOUS

Part 3(D)

"You don't trust me?" his voice is clearly laced with hurt from her actions.

"No, it's not like that, I trust you, I seriously do, I thought it would be better if I confirm it again. Just in case.."

She knew any answer will not justify her actions. For anyone, it would only look like its an action out of distrust, from her side its only hope that it may work out positively if she tries again. Calling the institute's branches, visiting them alone, even after him saying that they will personally go in a week time surely did look like mistrust from any angle, wish if anyone could understand her state.

"Khushi tell me directly if you have any issues with me helping you, I won't mind. But this.."

"Please don't say that. I'm really sorry, Please it's just my hope, not anything else"

"Fine, just let me know henceforth if you decide anything." There is nothing more he could say anyway.

"What do you mean by we are not allowed?" he wanted to punch the guy right on his face.

Both of them are in front of SHAKSHY head office fighting with the security guard since 15minutes, which is literally draining his calm. At first, they were asked if any of them are family of the mentioned kid when it got clear that they are neither family nor legal guardians, they were straightaway asked to get out without wasting time.

Khushi got into a verbal fight with the security guard when he admonished from even allowing them into the campus after the general inquiry. Her only notion was how can an orphan have family or legal guardians. The security then asked her to get a letter from the orphanage stating NK knew her and it's in the best interest of kid that she is here to meet him.

"Are you mad? Why don't you call the kid outside, once he sees me you will surely understand if he knows me or not."

"Mam, these are rules, either you follow it or leave from here. If there is no harm in you meeting him why don't you get a letter from the orphanage? Don't waste my time."

"At least let us go inside we will speak to the concerned authorities." Arnav tried one last time.

"Sir, if I let you in then I will lose my job which I can't afford."

"why did the other branches asked us to visit this place when you are not ready to let us in?"

"My duty is only to let the parents or guardians inside. That's it. What someone else said to you is not my concern. Now go from here before I drag you out."

"We won't leave until I get to see him" Khushi was too stubborn to let the chance go.

"As I said, It's your wish if you want to go or wants to be dragged out." The security was no less.

"Khushi, let's go" there was no use in standing there anymore.

"But"

"Khushi, he will not let us in, let's get back to the orphanage to get the letter. Come" without giving her any chance to say further he dragged her from there.

Arnav was exhausted, deprived of sleep, food and to make the matter's worse there was no positive result.

Firstly he was busy all week with a lot of pending work to deal with owing to his constant leaves, permissions. Secondly, the day before he was in office until 4 am completing off the updating of files. By the time he reached home and freshened up, it was close to 6 in the morning. The place they were staying is to another side of the city to the head office and Khushi refused traveling on a bike with him. Hence he skipped his breakfast to catch the public transport to reach here.
