Shadows in the Dark Paperback – Large Print, July 1, 2021


Paperback

Excerpt

                 Suddenly a thump landed on his back. It was Shivani. “Hey, why are you quiet, man? Say something. Isn’t it beautiful here?” Himesh looked around at the gulmohar trees slowly wobbling by, in full bloom, a gorgeous whir of green and orange; and felt the cool breeze ruffling his hair. 

               Shivani also looked very pretty in a cream tank top paired with black jeans. Her thick, shoulder-length hair blew around her face, making her look innocent and charming. Her lips had a hint of pale pink lip balm. Her eyes flashed brightly, further accentuated by an eye-liner. She had definitely dressed up to impress him!

               “Yes, very pretty,” he drawled meaningfully. She blushed delightedly. “Me or the scenery?” she asked coquettishly. 

               “Both” he said, with a slight grin. Shivani fawned at him obviously. Probably she was making some headway with him! 

                Then just to tease her, he remarked “But Mira is beautiful. You know what I mean!” She gave him a vicious look. 

               “No need to rub it in,” she said peevishly. As tears stung her eyes, she impulsively grabbed the whip and reins of the horse from Sajjan after roughly pushing him aside. He was stunned. So much strength for a chit of a girl! 

               As she started lashing the whip, Himesh lost it. He wasn’t going to tolerate her tantrums, that too on an official trip. The tonga was lurching ahead violently, with the horse bucking up and protesting under the sudden and unprovoked onslaught by a stranger. 

               A car swerved with a squeal of brakes, from the path of the unsteady tonga. As its driver swore at the tonga’s occupants, Sajjan helplessly looked at Himesh, as if pleading for his intervention! Now it was his turn to snatch the control of the tonga from her.

               He abruptly grabbed the whip and reins from her, steadied the panicking horse and slowed the pace of the tonga. Then he urged the horse to halt. Now Shivani was glaring daggers at him, gritting her teeth. 

               Suddenly Himesh grinned. “You resemble a wild cat now!” 

               Even as he said that, she flew on him, pounding her small fists on his face and head. He expertly caught both her wrists with one hand and slapped her with the other. She shrieked loudly and started bawling.
