Thriller The Story of Meera

[Priyanka98]

Meera nodded.
"I was tempted to put a bullet in his head," Aryan said, "But he is not dying till he gives us a name."
"He'll talk alright," Adil said signaling his men to carry the injured man away, "He'll be spilling his guts all over the place once we start asking questions."
"Any clients had any complaints about Meera?" Aryan asked, "Could any one of them be behind this?"
"No, never," Adil said, "Everyone loves her. She minds her own business and does her job well. I really don't know who would want to hurt her."
"What about that drug dealer gang she murdered?" Aryan asked.
"Well, they are all dead and no one misses a bunch of degenerates like them," Adil said, "In fact the rival gang was more than happy to take over their territory. Besides if someone from the underworld wanted her dead, they would have just shot her. This suicide note drama is an altogether different thing, this is the work of someone who doesn't want to get caught by the security officer, or alert Meera's associates. This person is someone who has something to lose."
Aryan took a deep breath making calculations in his mind.
"Thank you so much, both of you" Meera said, pulling them both into her embrace, "What would I do without you guys?"
"You are welcome, Meera," Adil said, "I had promised you that I'd do everything in my power to protect you."
Meera smiled.
"I'll take you leave now," Adil said, "I'll let you both know as soon as the man spills a name."
Adil left and Aryan stayed with Meera for the night, holding her, comforting her so that she could sleep peacefully.
Aryan was running his fingers gently through her hair, holding her close.
"You used to say that killing isn't your thing," Meera said, running her fingers through Aryan's hair, "And yet you were tempted to put a bullet in the man's head."
Aryan smiled and pulled her closer, "I don't know Meera, if someone tries to hurt you, they just make me...angry..."
Meera looked at him fondly, and they smiled at each other. "Aryan," she said touching his cheek, "May I ask you something?"
"Sure," he said with a smile, holding her close.
"Who is Saloni?" Meera asked.
Aryan's smile faded. He took a deep breath and turned over to lie down on his back. Meera realized that she had perhaps upset him.
"You said her name when we were...she must be very special," she said hugging him, "I understand if you don't want to tell me. I am sorry. Good night."
Aryan didn't respond. He was just lying with his eyes closed, as if a thousand thoughts were running through his head. She kissed his cheek and turned to one side and tried to sleep. After sometime Aryan turned towards her and held her in his arms. He kissed her forehead. She just snuggled deeper in his arms in response. Soon she fell fast asleep in his arms. He realized that his fondness for Meera was growing with each passing day. He lay awake thinking about who could be behind the attack on her life.
A thought occurred to him and he made a phone call, "I have a feeling Sharon is in this city. She will try to run but keep a close watch, do not let her escape."
