BOOK 1 IN #QUEST SERIES.....
Evan, a child too innocent and pure for the cunning world, trapped in the cruel ties of criminal world.
Kavin, a CID Officer, whose very reason for existence is to vanish criminals for the world.
But is it really that e...
I don't know what happened but now I want to live with him. I just don't want to be here anymore. I know I only told that I don't want my Maasi to suffer but I am scared of her. I don't want to face her again after whatever happened. I just want to go far away from this place. It is not like I don't love my Mama and Mami that I don't want to live with them. But I feel safest with Kavin. I always want to be with him. So I spoke the words which has been replaying in my mind since long.
" Take me far away from here, Kavin. Take me with you. I don't want to live here anymore."
I looked up to see Kavin was shocked. He took few seconds to understand what I said but when he did he shook his head slowly saying.
" I can't take you with me Bachhe. "
I asked, deeply hurt, " Why ?"
He just shook his head. At that moment I realised that even he doesn't love me. He also wants to leave me. I looked at him with hurt in my eyes and quickly ran away to my room. I could hear everyone calling for me but I gave deaf ear to them.

As Evan went upstairs, Kavin was about to follow him but Happy's question immediately held him back.
" Why are you refusing to take Evan with you ?"
Kavin was shocked and so as everyone. He never thought that Happy would ask something like this. But again he turned and replied as softly as he could.
"Because taking him with me will only mean that he would be pushed deliberately towards the unknown danger. Him staying with me will only be dangerous. We are CID Officers. We encounter death almost every day and have number of enemies who wants to destroy us. We even don't know if we will be able to come back home at evening or not. There is not certainty of our lives. How could you expect me to make Evan prone to danger which we face everyday? I cannot risk his life."
Happy again questioned, "But isn't our life uncertain already ? Then how could you expect to know what future holds for you ?"
Kavin replied firmly, " I don't know what future holds for me but I surely know that letting Evan stay with us will surely invite danger on him."
Dushyant interrupted, "Kavin, if you are scared of the dangers then don't worry. I will die but I won't let even a single scratch to come on you both. I assure you that. "
Kavin was now frustrated so he countered back, " You will die before we get any scratch then what about Randhir ? And Mr. Verma I don't understand why you all are hell bent on sending Evan with me ? Isn't he your beloved nephew or you don't love him anymore ?"
This time Neha interrupted with her firm tone, " Mind you Kavin, Don't question our love for Evan. And we are hell bent because our love for Evan doesn't surpass his well being. Right now, it is necessary for him to heal from what he is suffering. Even the Doctor recommended that Mumbai would be a better place for Councellors. We just want our Evan to be happy and carefree again. And for that even if we have to part ways with our child, We are ready. Besides, We trust you both, Kavin and Dushyant."
The last line hit Kavin. He gave a thought on it. He wanted to keep Evan hidden in his embrace and never let him feel any kind of pain. But he would be called selfish. He was hesitant just because he didn't wanted Evan to get trapped in danger. He did not have a single doubt about his capabilities to protect Evan. He would go to any length to protect him, even if it meant his death. Protecting Evan was never a problem but putting him intentionally in danger by letting him stay was. But now as Evan's health was concerned he agreed to let Evan come with them.
He sighed thinking that now he has to convince everyone in bureau to let Evan be with him. He told Devansh to look after Evan for sometime while he gestured Dushyant to come with him. He called the landline phone of bureau. Pankaj picked up the phone. Kavin told Pankaj to put the phone on speaker and call everyone as he wanted to talk something important. Daya sir urged him to continue. So, he told them.
"Sir, about the case, as I have informed earlier, we found the much needed information and evidences. We were about to leave today but we got stuck here."
And Kavin explains the whole matter how they were not able to report. And also the main point that Evan wants to come with him. ACP sir after listening to everything only asked one question.
"Kavin, you know our rules. Then how could you expect me to give you permission ?"
Kavin sighed knowing that he was right. But still he tried to convince.
"Sir, I am aware about the rules. But here the situation is likely to be thought not only from one aspect. Evan is suffering from depression, maybe it is the first stage but he is. He was traumatized when I asked him about the marks. That's why Doctor suggested to consult a Councellor. And he also suggested that Mumbai have better experienced Councellors. That is the reason even Mr. and Mrs. Verma agreed on it. I was also hesitant at first thinking about his safety but then I realised that His mental health is equally important if not more."
Daya spoke before ACP sir could.
"Kavin, let him come with you. We will consult the best Councellors and about his safety, Don't worry. We all will be there with you, supporting you."
ACP glared at Daya for his sudden interruption and spoke in confusing tone.
" That's not the main problem. What will we say to Chitrole if he ever found out ?"
This time Abhijeet spoke.
"Let him go to hell."
Pankaj laughed and so do Freddy but one glare from ACP sir and everyone sealed their lips. ACP sir finally sighed and agreed. Kavin was relieved that now he is not alone in everything. He has a family who supports him, understands him and loves him unconditionally. ______________________________________ 1600+ words
