Celebrity Crush Turned Deadly Love!

Akshitha's PoV

After a hefty lunch, I asked aunty to drop me in my PG. She wanted me to stay for dinner. God, if Kavi comes before I go then I'm done for good. I played a little more with Bruno and Tiger and bid goodbyes to aunty and uncle.

I couldn't see his son today. He didn't join us for lunch. I thought of requesting him to make an appointment with Yash. Pch, It's ok. If I'm destined to meet him, then I will meet him anyway. I don't need any help.

When I went in the room, I hurriedly took off my saree and put it all back in the suitcase.

Hehe, Kavi is a detective, remember!?

We got used to our work. My team members Nithya and Priya have become very close to me. Pramod and Vikram also joined our group. We learnt our tech and also had fun. Most of the time, we had our chat window open.

Kavi is assigned to a US project. I don't know what she has that I don't have? Our batch is still in training. We work on local projects. We fix errors. Basically maintenance. We have lots of free time. But we will pretend to work.

I learnt many shortcuts from our office to our PG. We took turns in driving. But since Kavi is working on a US project, her timing has changed. She stayed back to attend meetings. Our regular schedule collapsed. I went and came early. Kavi went and came late. So, I gave my bike to Kavi. I started using an office cab.

Shalu aunty is in constant touch with me. She speaks to me every other day. She visited me in our pg. I introduced her to Kavi. Kavi is also pleased with her. So, no more lies to Kavi. Shalu aunty even took us to shopping malls. She showed us around some temples and beaches. She said she feels alive when she is with us. I'm happy that we could make someone happy with just our presence. She invited us to her home many times, but we dodged saying some excuses. I don't want to take advantage of her. We meet at some common places. That is enough.

She will bring Bruno or Tiger alternatively if we go to places like the beach. I only miss uncle.

He will talk to me if he is present when aunty talks to me. I cannot ask him to accompany aunty you see, he is a rich businessman!

My mom and Kavi's mom also know Shalu aunty now. They have talked through the phone. Our moms even asked her to keep an eye on us. Everything is very usual and regular. I had my evening coffee and biscuits with Kriya, my pg mate. Since I have literally no company during weekday evenings, I was forced to make friends with her. She doesn’t speak Tamil. Our awkward conversation in English always cracks me into laughs when I'm alone!

"Kriya, Shall we go for a walk in the park nearby?" I asked her.

the evening and this Chennai is still hot like noon. The park near our PG is not a well-maintained park. So, no kids will be there. Many uncles and aunties use it as a walking area.

car stop in front of the park. A tall man in a blue cap got down and came in. Hmmmm people come in a Tesla for a walk in the park! I thought to myself. He walked past me and sat down on a bench far from me, his back facing me. But I
