Close Apart
Chapter-3
“Lamb Delight”

“Lamb Delight!! Wow, that was some order!” recalled Aditya.

Actually, it was about a few months earlier that Manish, a
colleague of Aditya tried to hook him up with a girl named
Suneeta, who, Manish claimed was one of his girlfriend’s friend.

So! On the preplanned Saturday night, Aditya came to this very
place and met her.
“She was gorgeous!” was Aditya’s first
reaction and after a very short stretch of time Aditya started
liking everything about her. And when Aditya knew that she was a
little bit interested about computer softwares, then it made feel
like:
“look! Didn’t I tell you earlier? Gorgeous girls like
softwares!!”

Aditya had this (Well, used to have) symptom of being completely
speechless near girls. So he tried to make his order speak of his
feelings and he ordered a couple of “Lamb Delights!”

Just after the waiter left, Suneeta turned to him and said

“Do you know what they have in these?”

Aditya was thinking to ask about what she was referring to but
before he could speak anything, she answered herself

“Lambs…”

“Well, that’s why it’s called…”

“Baby lambs, separated from their habitat. Bred in captivity,
been nourished only because one day they’ll be slayed for feeding
people like us!!”

“That must have been a lot of research!!”

“I had to, it’s a part of my job.”

“Job? I mean… how?”
was Aditya’s immediate response.

“ I work as junior officer in the ministry against cruelty on
animals.”

And Aditya knew that he had just made a couple of 'miss-Orders'

Suneeta continued
"Have You ever seen a lamb bee slayed? Its like
a flood of blood splashing the floor, along with the deafning
sound of the helpless....."

"Sir your Lamb Delights" Waiter had a perfect entry

Aditya Felt a surge of 'something' rising in his throat and the
only thing he could do then was rushing towards the washroom!

"That Was Something!" said Amrita after Adityawas done with
narrating her the incident.

"Your lamb Delights, Sir" said th waiter.

Amrita gave a horrified look towards Aditya & then gave a big
laugh.

Close Apart (Chapter-32)

Close Apart Chapter-32 “Shopping Day” Amrita took Komal for her wedding day shopping! Komal tried a lot to dodge Amrita but then she was not so resourceful when it came to denying someone. “Look, all my life I’ve been either studying or working, actually I didn’t get real time to dress-up or to party around. So I am what you’ll call a fashion disaster” confessed Amrita. “Don’t worry! I’ll Help You out! You won’t be a fashion disaster on your wedding day.” Komal smiled and replied. After sometime, Amrita was lining up in front of the trial room while holding few dazzling dresses. “I know the decision was a bit hasty, but after so many days without him, I don’t have the patience of staying away anymore! I know, you must be thinking that getting married in a registrar’s office is such a boring thing to do, but for me the companionship is much more important than a fancy wedding! And even Aditya seems to be quite supportive about this.” Amrita finished as she went in one of the trial room...
Close Apart Chapter-16 (Untitled) Aditya wasn’t at all recovering from his sad state of mind. He made numerous efforts to track down information about Amrita & her family, but nothing useful came up. Manish was concerned about his friend’s wellbeing, and so he called up Komal and cleared all the confusion that they were having. It was Sunday morning; Aditya got a call from Komal. “Hi!” “Hi…” “What are you doing today?” “You mean this afternoon?” “I meant now!” “Well, nothing actually!” “Then we can meet…” “Look Komal, I am actually not in a mood to…” “Moods, as they say, are made… and not imposed!” “That was exactly what I intended to remind you…” “Great! Then see you in half an hour at Pizza Hut!” “I guess I don’t have any choice…” Aditya knew he would have to get up from his bed and get ready if he wanted to be there on time, but he sulked. World has changed from what it used to be a few days earlier, and he didn’t feel a thing about it that’s left to live for… ******************...

Close Apart (Chapter-19)

Close Apart Chapter-19 “The British Council Mystery (Part-II)” “Komal you don’t have to do this!” “Trust me, I’ll have to. “ “O.K. listen, try to find out as much information as you can about the server they are using & about its network administrator Mr. Bakshi.” “Why him?” “Because only he has got the power to insert any virus or Trojan in the server & I had this feeling before that he’s up to something.” “O.K and I’ll see you in 2hrs or so…” “Right, note everything, take pictures if necessary and…” “and?” “Don’t run into unnecessary troubles!” “I won’t.” “Manish will drop you on his way…” “No, I’d prefer to take my Press car with me…” Watching Komal going away, Aditya had this strange feeling. He realized that she was going to risk her job to find out something for his defense; Aditya realized that something has creped into his self silently. So silently that he never even realized that it rested there. Rested just to remind his of its exist...
