About Me

I am an Indian English writer write mostly fiction books and so far I have written forty six books out of which forty four books are romantic, psychological thrillers and the remaining two are non-fiction books, Body, Mind and You and English Grammar Simplifier. The word count of my books range from 15,000 to 3,50,000 and the total word count of all my books is more than 40,00,000 (Forty Lakhs Words). I have a weakness, I don’t get the feeling that I wrote the book if someone else edits the same, so I am my own editor to all my books. As such there is a pretty chance that you may come across grammatical, verbal mistakes, incongruities and inconsistencies while going through my books, then please pardon me and go ahead. I am always open as much as possible when it comes to sexual narrations in my books as I think sex is very main and natural characteristic not just in human beings but in all other creatures also. So you can find sexual narrations in my books graphical, absolute and complete. My heart-felt thanks to all those who have been reading my books all along, encouraging me and supporting me.

Love is dangerous with a Stranger

(A romantic, investigative and detective thriller)

Kotra Siva Rama Krishna

“I am happy that you are here with me and Gaama.” Looking into the face of David Carter, Stuart said. “After dad’s death, I thought a lot about you. You just don’t know how much I wished that you should be with me and help me. Anyhow you came here and became a backbone to me and Gaama also once again.”

“I am sorry that I should have thought about your predicament beforehand.” David Carter said. “I knew you are a capable guy and looking after the business without much problem. In fact in these ten years or so after you dad’s death, you did like that. You not only made the business flourished but expanded it also.”

“But uncle...........” Stuart leaned back in the chair and sighed heavily. “……….I am always in the waiting of an experienced and intelligent person like you. I know how you and dad both used to be. You helped him like that but it is always quite surprising to me why did you leave like that our organisation?”

David Carter also sighed and adjusted himself in his chair for more comfort. “My life itself is a big sorrowful thing Stuart. I was married and very happy with my wife and son but suddenly they both were expired in an accident just in the second year of my marriage. From then on I not only became very much distressed but lost all interest in my life. Even good jobs were offered to me because of my experience and qualification, nowhere I could stay long. Everywhere I changed jobs for every two years or so and it was only with your dad I worked for five years. But I wanted a change so much afterwards, I could not stay here and went somewhere.”

“But you are such a clever and intelligent person you impressed my dad a lot. He used to say a lot about you to me.” Stuart said with an appreciative expression in his face but his face suddenly became sorrowful. “But dad never told me about your past. I never have expected that your past is this much pathetic!”

“I never said about this to anyone else including your dad and I said to everyone that I was a bachelor. I don’t know why but on this day I wanted to share that with you.” David Carter leaned back in the chair and a pathetic smile filled his lips. “Anyhow it is not something to make the other people pleasant.”

Stuart could not say anything as he did not know what to say. After few seconds pause David Carter himself said.

“As I could not stay at one place for long times, I have changed organisations from one to other for every two or three years. But now I have become old and got health problems also and I must say I have made terms with my past. I don’t want to shift from place to place like before and decided to stay at one place then I remembered Gaama and came here. I know that you never deny my wish and I was given a most esteemed job chief executive. I have decided to stay with you till my life’s end.”

“Oh, what good news it is!” Stuart’s face was filled with happiness. “I am feeling very happy hearing this uncle.”

“In those five years I worked along with your dad, there developed a very beautiful relationship between us both. He helped me a lot also. But because of the old habit, the desire to move away to some other place dominated everything and I went away and joined in some other organisation after five years.”

“It is indeed quite pathetic that you moved away so but you are right uncle! You indeed have an impression on dad. He used to say to me that you are not just a skilled chartered accountant but was helpful to him in many ways.”

“It is vice versa I must say.” David Carter laughed but suddenly his face became serious. “I have resigned my job in the recent organisation and looking for another job. Then I remembered you and thought how it would be if I come and try my luck here. You are indeed very kind to take me into your organisation again.” In the end his face was with a grateful expression.

“What type of talking this is uncle?” Stuart knitted his brows together. “I just feel happy to take you back into my organisation at anytime you come and ask. After knowing how best friends you and my dad were, after knowing how much helpful you used to be to my dad, how can I deny that? You are just like my dad to me.”

“Stuart by the time of your dad’s death, you were not much experienced in the business. I knew that you certainly have faced problems in managing this much of big organisation. I should have come and be helpful to you in those days itself. But I did not come to you until I have become old, until I have developed health problems. I am really very much selfish.”

“No, no, uncle please don’t talk like that.” Stuart took both the hands of David Carter into his hands and squeezed them gently. “I am just feeling happy to be helpful like this to you. Moreover, in these three months of your working here, you have become wonderfully helpful to me. I am thinking we just can do wonders together.”

“I also hope so if I live long.” David Carter laughed, relieved his hands from the hands of Stuart and his face became serious. “I suffered heart attack two times Stuart. Doctors said to me that I need to be careful and there will be no chance of getting it for the fourth time. I am careful of course but not thinking that I can live very long.”

“You did not say this to me till now!” Stuart’s face filled with anxiousness “Anyhow don’t worry. Our family doctor Peterson is really wonderful! I do put you also under his care and he will take the guarantee that you do cross hundred years. Dad really has wonderful faith on that Peterson.”

“But your dad just died at his sixtieth year! I don’t want to criticise Peterson because I also knew that doctor but it happened like that.” David Carter said with gathered frowns.

“You are right uncle! To be frank just three or four days after your leaving the organisation. He suffered heart attack. But I cannot criticize Peterson for that. He was also in abroad at that time and still feels very much worried that he could not be with dad at that time.”

“My going away like that would have affected him that much! I did not expect it would happen in such a way Stuart. Otherwise I would not have gone like that at all.” David Carter’s face was filled with a regretful expression.

“No, no. Uncle. It was not so. Dad did not die because of your going away like that.” Stuart hurriedly said. “I was in USA at that time. On one day dad said to me that there was something very important he wanted to discuss with me and asked me to come as soon as possible to India. I asked him to tell me what it was but he did not like to say that in phone but pressed me in the phone to come India as fast as I could. I managed to come India in four days time but by that time itself he died with heart attack.”

“I know about your saying this in those days over phone Stuart. You asked me whether I knew anything about it and I said no.” David Carter sighed heavily “Did you come to know at all later on what your dad wanted to say to you?” he knitted his brows.

“No, uncle. I tried my maximum level best to know about it but I could not.” Stuart sighed heavily. “I could not even guess what it was. Except your going away like that everything else was usual. In fact business was going smoothly and nicely. Till date, I could not understand what really dad wanted to talk with me then. But I think..........”Stuart paused for a second before saying again. “..........there was certainly something which made him worried like that and died in such a way.”

“Really very much puzzling! If it was that much important, why did not he say anything to me about it? By the time of my leaving this organisation, we both were in with quite amicable terms. When I said I just wanted to go somewhere else and join in a new job, he let me go with a happy mind.” David Carter leaned back in the chair and after few seconds’ silence he asked. “Did not he tell anything to that Peterson either? He also was a very good friend to him.”

“Peterson was not here at that time, I already told you. If he was available, dad would not have died like that I think.” Stuart once again sighed heavily.

“We are all puppets in the hands of god Stuart, we cannot escape from his decisions.” David Carter said. “Anyhow you did your level best. You made Gaama flourished and developed even more. I am feeling very much proud of you and your dad would have felt in the same way on this day if he is alive.”

“Thank you very much uncle for your thinking like that!” Stuart smiled but his face became suddenly serious. “But all the time I am on the look out of a capable hand like you. If it is not too much for you, I just want your help and advice all along from now on.”
