45 Let Us Investigate (1/2)
”No clever answers! And yes, I expel you from the post of a kidnapper.”
”Wohoo! That was so nice of you.”
After a few minutes, when Rishi felt that he had enough of Aliya's service, it was his turn. He took this as an opportunity to inquire what made her drink so much. But before he could ask, he was confused. When he took her hand in his, she didn't react. Without even batting an eye, she was just sitting still even when Rishi stopped caressing her hand. Till now Aliya wasn't stopping uttering illogical things. But look at her now, as if she is in deep thoughts. She kept staring at the floor until Rishi snapped his fingers.
”What happened Aliya?”
Aliya shook her head to say nothing.
”Are you hiding something?”
”I am missing my parents. I feel so lonely here.”
”Why so? You have your friend here.”
”Friend? She is a model. How will she have time to spend with me? She is a busy personality you know. I only run behind her, assisting her. Moreover there are many here, who are ready to mentally torture here.”
”What!? What are you talking about?”
Like those children who complain their parents about bullies in school, Aliya was doing the same. She had this puppy face while whining about her colleagues.
”They don't like me.”
She kept repeating this line and Rishi kept asking her that against whom was she complaining.
”Look Aliya, I am asking this for the 4th time. Who are 'they'?”
”I DON'T KNOW!”
”SHHHH! Talk softly! Ugh! I regret of not booking sound-proof rooms.”
”I don't know....
Aliya's voice just trailed off. Rishi couldn't here anything. For a moment, he was just praising himself to have this patience level.
”I just told you to talk softly. Not to whisper.”
”I said I don't know. But there are some people scheming against me.”
Rishi pinched his eyebrows to think who would be that fool to do this mistake. She was right. Firstly, there are people jealous of her. Even though she is not that high in her post, still she holds the power to influence Rishi. Secondly, he was worried about Aliya. He didn't know what to do with her. He started to scan her. And he found something weird. Even if she was drunk, there was no trace nor a stain or drop of alcohol on her whole body. Neither there was any pungent smell of the same. He was sure that she has not got drunk even once in her life. If this was to be her first time, then she would have vomited at least twice. But nothing as such happened. And he was sure that she wasn't acting. Why would she do so much of drama and for what? Then what is the reason of her hanged attitude? Or is she drugged?....
