Chapter 4

Mehek asked her if she would like to be friends with her. Poorvi didn't had a reason to reject her, so she agreed. It's always better to have a friend at a time like that where no one wants to be close to her or talk to her. Nobody except Mehek who actually knew what happened treated her like a person. Killing someone was indeed a big deal, even if you did it for self-defense. Poorvi was walking home, and Mehek had a car so she asked her if she would like to go home with her. For a moment, Poorvi hesitated to sit in her car because of that incident.

Looking at Poorvi's face, Mehek could guess what she was thinking so she said, "it's ok if you don't want to. Anyways, who will befriend a police officer like me, who always has a poker face and is rude."

"Of course not, and who said you are rude and has poker face??" Poorvi got anxious hearing her words and replied hurriedly.

"Well, everyone around me gossips like that and some even say that to my face, too. Hahhh, leave it, I'm already used to it." said Mehek as she sighed.

Poorvi looked at her in a daze, collecting her thoughts. 'if it wasn't for this case i might have thought that too. But now I know that maybe she has a bold personality but it's something that she should have as a police officer.'

Poorvi let out a deep sigh, open the door of car and sat beside Mehek on front passenger seat. Mehek smiled and started driving. To break that awkward silence between them, Poorvi gathered all her might and said "umm..officer ?"

"yeah ?" Mehek replied with her eyes fixed on the road.

"Do you mind if I call you by your name?" Poorvi asked with all courage she had.

Mehek was shocked with that because it's been a while since anyone called her by her name other that family members and relatives. Looking at her silent and shocked face Poorvi thought that she didn't liked that so she hurriedly apologized and said "I'm sorry, if you don't like to be called by your name then I won't"

"No..it's not like that it's just...*sigh* it's just no one has ever asked me this question so I was just a bit shocked. I would love if you call me by my name Poorvi. It feels like I, too have a friend." Mehek said with a sad smile on her face.

Soon they reached Poorvi's locality. Poorvi invited Mehek to her house for a drink. As she unlocked the door, she directly headed to her room to keep her bag and then went to the kitchen to bring tea and snacks for Mehek.

While Poorvi was in the kitchen, Mehek sat on the couch and looked around the living room. Pictures of Poorvi along with her family, some showpieces and then her gaze finally landed on the trophy section in the room. She got up and went near them to take a closer look. There was also a picture of Poorvi along with her parents and a boy, who looked older than her. He was wearing military graduation uniform. At that time, Poorvi came out of the kitchen and saw her holding her family picture.
