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

Close Apart Chapter-18 “Behind Bars” “It’s all my fault!” Aditya was kept in the police lockup for the entire night before Manish went there and bailed him out. “No Aditya!” Komal was right there, “You didn’t hack their server.

There is something important in the British Council, and they’ve called us.” “You mean you and me?” “Well that’s pretty much the same thing” “Sir it’s not my specialization and I am not even the British Council team so…” “Aditya! For how long do you think that you’ll avoid the fact? Don’t look surprised, Komal told me everything the other day. Look Aditya, I can realize through what situation you are going right now. But why are you forgetting one thing? That life waits for no one! And if you are not moving with it, then you’ll be left behind! Gather yourself up Aditya; don’t let any thing come between you and your life! Now get ready and get going!” “Whe
