Anya

She looked at her phone as Andy disconnected, promising her to call back. It was past midnight and he would be reaching sometime in the morning. She might as well sleep.

But she was super charged. She looked at their bedroom. It looked empty without Andy.

It wasn’t like she hadn’t stayed here alone before, neither was it like Andy had never stayed away.

He had been away for a month before this. Yet, knowing how far away he was made it all the more difficult for her.

She missed her boyish boyfriend. She tapped at the back of her head, “No silly! Your fiance!”

She said aloud to herself and beamed.

She repeated the word fiance, letting her lips purse as the word rolled off her tongue. It sounded scary, scarier than the bullet that almost hit her today.

But it was happy and scary, she loved the apprehension. She couldn’t believe that after being alone for a lifetime, she was blessed with such a loving partner who understood her work and the uncertainties that came with it.

  • The Red Dragon's Lair   Prologue

    She ran as fast as her feet could carry her. She was on the docks, the dark oily sea lapping against the steel pilings on one side while the abandoned warehouses with their broken, mangled structures lined the other end of the wharf. They looked like rickety monsters, with their glass eyes shot out, sporting a toothless hollow grin, dwarfing her. Her red, ornately embellished wedding dress, slowing her down. Her red dupatta (stole paired on an Indian dress) sweeping the ground, wet and heavy with the slick and rust. With her service Glock 17 handgun, cradled in her sweaty hands, she was quite a sight to look at. She looked around for a sign. Her trained eyes scanned every nook and cranny. She saw a scrap metal plate lying broken and bent by the side of one of the warehouses. With swift strides, she walked up to it and used its sharp edge to cut the lower half of her dress unevenly. The hem now hung just above her knees. S

  • The Red Dragon's Lair   Where it all began

    Anya Mithra “Anya! Anya! Your brother is calling you. On the little hill outside thebasti(slums).” 12-year-old Anya was washing utensils outside her tiny shanty in one of the biggest slums of Mumbai. Dharavi. The one-roomed tin shed with an asbestos sheet for a roof was their only possession left behind by their parents. Her brother, Dada, as she called him, was 8 years older and she loved him to the moon and back. She didn’t remember much about her parents. They had died in a fire at the mills compound where they worked. Anya was only 6 at the time. Her Dada had brought her up. He had managed to do odd jobs and bring in money. Enough to keep their shanty and to bring in food at least once a day. There were some days when they would go without meals. Those were few and far between and even at that time, her brother managed to get a deep-friedbhajji(fritter

  • The Red Dragon's Lair   A new case

    Anya 12-year-old Anya ran, dreading for her life. The overgrown shrubs must have grown bigger. They were almost reaching her waist now. Her worn-out flip flops were broken, so she left them behind and ran bare feet. Thorns pricking the soft soles of her feet. Pain shooting through her legs and her stomach cramping up with hunger. She couldn't remember when she had last eaten. She fell down and tried to get up but Tatya was at her side. She sat on the rocky ground, terrified. He poured a bucket full of warm blood on her. The warm blood soaked her clothes, turning her little hands red, reeking of death. No, No, No, stop... "STOP!!!" Shouting, Anya woke up with a start. Hyperventilating and disoriented, she looked around her, anxiously. She was in her one-bedroom apartment. Heaving a sigh of relief she checked the time. Her mobile phone on the bedside table said 3.00 am. Feeling frustrated, sh

    Anand Gore (Andy) Andy received a call early in the morning. His best friend Mia was crying hysterically. “Babe! What happened? Why are you crying?” “He tried to rape me,” she managed to splutter through her sobs. “What the fuck? Who? Where are you?” She was his best friend. They were together in junior college. After 12th grade, Mia had decided to become an Ayurvedic doctor while he had taken up Engineering in the Information Technology (IT) field. “I don’t know. It is some road near Sushant’s house,” she said. “The bastard did this to you?” “Yes” Andy cursed, “Babe, listen! Are you in a safe space? Is he following you?” “No. I broke a vase on his head. He is knocked out.” “That’s my girl! Now walk towards the police station. I am on my way.” He rode his Royal Enfield motorbike like a maniac and covered a distance of 30 mins in 10. Mia was still sobbing when he found her. She hadn

    AndyNext morning when Mia came downstairs her eyes looked tired. “Hey babes, how are you doing? You look terrible.”“I feel terrible,” she said massaging her neck instinctively, “my head hurts and I haven’t been able to sleep properly in spite of medicines. I hate this. Hate being a weakling.”“I know. It’s a lot to face your attacker everyday!”Mia sat down next to him and took the mug of coffee that he offered. “What do I do Andy? I can’t carry on like this.

    AnyaShe reached Andy’s college a little after the event had already begun. Unlike the horde of students milling around, she was a professional and had a job. A last minute case had held her back. She had to wrap up her work and rush to the college in a tuktuk (a yellow and black three-wheeled motorized vehicle used as a taxi in India).After haggling with the tuktuk driver and paying an obscenely inflated fare she thought to herself, 'I really need to get a vehicle for myself. This daily haggling is a pain in the ass. Once the EMI (Equated Monthly Installments or mortgage) for the gym equipment is done, I should look for a motorbike.'

    Andy He stepped into the flight and was welcomed by a pair of smiling air-hostesses in their beautiful deep red, almost purple outfits. One of them held out her hand for his pass, inspected it to find his seat and escorted him inside. She asked for his baseball jacket, reached up on her toes and tucked it away in the rack. Andy could not help but notice how toned her body was. “My name is Aisha. Happy to have you on board. Enjoy your flight, Sir!”, she said as she caught his stare. Are they trained to make you feel welcome and maybe a little extra comfortable, or was Aisha flirting with him? He brushed the amusing thought away as she went away to serve the others. Andy sighed seeing the single seat with the purple and cream upholstery lining the window. It was early in the morning and it was still dark outside. The previous night he had been up packing and watching his sexy fiance sleep. He hated being away from her for so long. Especially because of her crazy, risky assignments.

    Anya (two days back) She had returned earlier than expected. Opening the door to Andy’s house with her spare key, she entered the living room and made a beeline for the kitchen. Andy would have left her favourite chai, the sweet tea latte in the flask. She loved how thoughtful he was. Regardless of the stress he was dealing with, he would always be mindful of her needs! Over the last few months his playfulness had consistently reduced due to the increasing pressures of his work life but he had not allowed that to affect his time spent with her. She poured herself the chai and curled up on the couch in the living ro

He had just returned from Ahmedabad where his company had sent him for a month-long executive leadership program at the Indian Institute of Management, the IIM, the top management institute of the country. He looked out of the glass walls at the distant Mula Mutha river snaking through the city in a steady stream. He was now a member of the Royal Connaught Boat Club too. The top of its majestic building was just about visible from his Southern window. He looked forward to the weekend with his boating buddies. It was good to be back.

He let his hands move to her naked shoulder where her loose T-shirt had fallen off-shoulder exposing her smooth wheatish skin.He left soft feathery kisses at the nape of her neck gradually working his way up until he reached the back of her ear. She was waking up with a burning desire between her legs. She moaned and turned around to meet his lips with her own.Thanks to Andy her nightmares had finally reduced. It had been a night of peaceful sleep cradled in the arms of her lover. She wasn’t sure if she felt guilty about forgetting her brother but
