Gauravi's POV

I saw that there was a place that was like plain ground, there were some armed men there. They opened a box and took out a god statue. It looked very old and antique statue in gold, must be very expensive.

My heart started beating very hard.

Was it a legitimate archeological site for digging?

It didn't look like...

Oh, God!!

Could they be handling the statues

illegally?

Yes, of course!! They were smuggling the old and antique gold statues.

Oh shit!!!

I needed to click the picture of it to prove my point to the police. I lifted my phone to click pictures one after the other and then I moved to another place to get a better angle to take better pictures. A tree branch was coming in my way to get a perfect shot so I moved it aside and raised my phone again to click more pictures.

Just then I saw that a man turned and looked at me.

I was so scared that I couldn't move but just then an arm snaked around my waist and I got even more scared and was about to scream due to p

    Gauravi's POVI came back to the room on my slightly unsteady legs and threw myself on the bed as I was dead tired and kept staring at the opposite wall.Did all those things really happen an hour ago?? Did he really save me?? Yes!!! I should be grateful to him but the way he was behaving was making it difficult for me to be grateful to him.I took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and packed my bags. I was ready, but could not simply leave after what I saw in the jungle.Why was he telling me, not to do anything? Did he really understand the gravity of the situation or had he simply seen me leaving the hotel, followed me there, and was playing a game at my expense to amuse himself?? He was Shaurya... Anything was possible with him. Anyway, I was not going to leave the matter like this... For god's sake, I am a responsible citizen of my country and it is my duty to stop if I see any illegal activities.Yes, I have to do something. I went out taking precautions so that he

    Gauravi 's POV " Your mission?? Operation?? You mean... " I could not digest what he said." Oh... I mean, I had a doubt that something fishy is going on, so thought of looking at it. Why? If you can get curious and go on a mission, can't I do the same?? " He said.." I don't trust you. Arun seems to be a good man. "" Yes, of course, you trust an absolute stranger but not me..... I mean the son of your parents' friends. Anyway, let me break your bubble. I went to that place a day before you and took a moonlight stroll last night and I confirmed what I had suspected. Your trusted new friend, Arun Nair is very much an important part of that gang. They are involved in antiques smuggling and human trafficking. "" No!! A.Arun? " I was shocked as hell." Yes, he is the boss of the men you saw there. " He said and my jaw dropped." I don't believe it... "" Of course!! You are falling for his fake charm. " He said shaking his head." I am not falling for him. Not at all interested, I hope

    Gauravi's POVWe reached the airstrip, which was merely a clear ground, created there for those tourists who wanted to sample the feel of the jungle but didn't have much time to spend. And they could enjoy the trip in a day or two.Three old single engined planes were standing there.Oh, God!! They were so small. I was scared to death thinking that he was planning to try to fly one of them. He was looking at them thinking something." Now what??" I asked when I could not remain quiet as I was tensed." What?? I am thinking about which one will be best for us. " He replied."You will steal one of them?? No way! ""Well, I am not privileged like your fiance who owns a helicopter and private jet. Of course, we have to steal, they will not gift wrap it and give it to me. " He answered sarcastically." But who will fly it? " I asked further." I will. " he shrugged his shoulders." I am serious. "" So am I. " He said."Can you fly it, the real one, not the paper plane? "" I can, had tak

    Gauravi's POVI was still thinking about all that when he came back and stood by me." We were lucky to be alive. " He said." How severe is the damage? " I asked." Quite severe... The wings came off when we came down and when we landed the fuel tank was already empty, or... " He stopped right there, maybe he realized that I was already scared." I hope that you will be able to mend it, right? " I asked with anticipation. He smiled." Well thanks for your faith in my capabilities, but even if I mend it, we can't use it," he said." But why? " I asked getting confused." Where would I get the fuel from?? It will not fly on the river water. " He said.Right!! I didn't think of it." Oh, sorry, I didn't think about that. " I said with a nod." You usually do or say things without thinking. " He said though I didn't like it I was not in a mood to fight with him." I am almost blank because of everything that happened since morning. I don't seem to be thinking very clearly. " I admitted.

    Gauravi's POVThe pale sunlight was falling on my face, I opened my eyes, looked around, and frowned. How did the hotel room change into a barrel-shaped metal vault? Then the realization came flooding back, I slowly sat up nursing my neck." Shaurya?? Are you awake??" I asked without turning to look at him. But I didn't get any answer.I thought that maybe he was still asleep. I thought of getting out of the confined cabin area and stretching my limbs, I saw that he was not in the seat he had slept last night.I touched the seat and felt that it was cold which meant that he had left the seat a long time ago. I looked around but could not see him anywhere.Oh shit!! He was gone!! He left me alone?? Yes, he had said that he would leave me on my own as he didn't want to be here with me, and I also blamed him for being stuck here in the jungle when I should have thanked him for saving my life.He had no feelings for even those girls he was in a relationship with, whom he dated, so why wo

    Gauravi's POVHe picked me up bodily and carried me back along the bank dumping me by the plane.As soon as he set me down I kicked his ankle hard out of sheer frustration and he winced and then put his hand up, one on each side of me imprisoning me against the plane." Listen to me for the last and final time... you will do as I will tell you to and when I tell you to. You can take a bath later on. We have to check the plane and see if we can get something that we can make use of. I think that it may have escaped your mind but we don't have any food, I can manage, but I am not sure how you will make out on a diet of grilled iguana and snake soup. " He said and I literally had to stop myself from making an offending comment but I said, " Ughhh!! "" So by the time you are checking the plane, I will be back after taking a bath. " I said." But if you go to take a bath I will have to waste the valuable time minding you. " He said.What the hell does he think of me? Does he think that I

" He said and started wrapping all the things back." What are we going to do with all this?? Are we carrying them with us? "" No, we have to carry the food and things that will help us to survive in this jungle. Moreover, all this will slow us down. "" But we can't leave it here like this, they looted it, it belongs to the nation. "" Exactly!! We are not taking all this with us, we will hide them and later will tell the authorities. "" Yes, great!! Hey, wait we forgot this. " I said taking my hands up to remove it."" Leave it!! You can keep it!! "" What?? No!! We can't!! "" We can, we looted it from smugglers and giving everything else to the government. We will get a reward for this, we can refuse to take that. ""But that is not right!!

It is none of your business... " Shaurya said." You are standing here, and this is my business. " Vihan said." It is a hospital, not your home, anyone can come here. "" Anyone can but not you after what you did to Gauravi." He said glaring at Shaurya." How is she? I just got to know that she was admitted here, what happened? " Shaurya asked." That's none of your business. Stay away from her or I will... " He was saying but Shaurya asked another question." Why are you behaving like this as if I am asking about your girlfriend??
