Attacked Part II
Pratap stared at the silent girl who was clearly holding over
to the one thing he had hoped she would let go off
Pratap: Ajabde I understand you are mad about it but
sometimes it happens
Ajabde (looked at him): It happens? Pratap nothing good is
happening first the slap case with Raghav Singhania then I find out I resemble
his wife who is dead, the Dean got fired and blames me for it, somebody broke
into my home only to leave behind red roses and I don’t even like red roses
Pratap: I know what you need Miss Punwar
He stood up and pulled her as well
Ajabde: Arrey where are we going?
He just took her hand in his and walked towards the car. They
had been driving for the last 20minutes or so and on a regular interval like an
alarm she would pester him with the same question
Where are we going? Tell me. I hate surprises
All he did was smile knowing fully well that she was happy to
be away from everything. The road now was surrounded by trees on both sides as
they had left the city behind then it fell- first one then two and more.
Droplets fell on the windscreen
It’s raining!!!! She exclaimed
The weather and the drive were working its magic as Ajabde
allowed herself to forget about all the worries that were haunting her. They
stopped at roadside stall and got garam chai. Ajabde smiled as she took in the
beautiful sight- the drizzling rains, swaying trees and the tea spreading its
warmth with every sip. She finally felt relaxed
Thank you she said to Pratap who was staring at his cell
intently so she gently placed her hand on his and the look he gave filled her
with dread- something was wrong
Pratap: We have to go. It’s important
Both of them quickly got back into the car and this time the
silence that descended upon them was tensed. Pratap kept on thinking about the
message he had received
The junior who had delivered the roses has been found dead. Come back asap
Pratap: Ajabde listen to me carefully we are going to the
police station
Ajabde: Police station but why?
Pratap: The boy who had been delivering you those roses and
packages
Ajabde: The junior?
Pratap: Yeah. His body was found by the police
Ajabde (shocked): Bo….bod….body
Pratap parked the car in the side and took her hands in his: Yes and we have to go to the station
Ajabde: Why ? They should be looking
for his killer
Pratap: Rawatji thinks we can help them
Ajabde: why is this happening to me? First that Singhania then
the roses, now we have a dead person
Pratap: Hey calm down I’m here (Ajabde starts to sob and he
gathers her in his arms) I’m here and I won’t let anything happen to you. Dad
is sending Rawatji to the station with us so don’t worry. Everyone knows you
are not involved
Ajabde just hugged him tight and as he wiped off her tears
she managed to give him a smile. Outside the police station they met Rawatji
who was Uday Singh’s personal lawyer he had been briefed about the case and
appointed himself as Ajabde’s attorney. Both of them smiled seeing the elder
man and they made their way inside where Inspector Rann was waiting for them.
Ajabde was made to recall all the times she had met with the
dead boy and every word was noted down by the constable. Rawatji's presence
helped as he kept everything in check
Rann: Thank you for speaking to us but until this
investigation is complete we have to ask you to not go out of town
Rawatji: Are there any leads or any suspect
Rann: Unfortunately no. All we had was the call statement and
the one number that constantly called was a prepaid sim. The details of the
owner turned out fake. Miss Punwar we will in touch with you and the last
package you received – the blood stained rose
Ajabde looked confused: What blood stained rose?
Pratap looked at Rawatji and then at Ajabde
Ajabde: What are they talking about Pratap?
Pratap: The package he delivered to you during your practice
Ajabde: I thought the package was missing
Rawatji: Beta the package had a blood stained rose and we
thought best to send it to the lab for testing
Ajabde looked at Pratap in pure shock: Why didn’t you tell me
this before? A blood stained rose of all things- the blood could be that of the killer or some other victim!!
Rann: It was not human blood. Reports have confirmed that the
blood belonged to a cat
Ajabde: Is that supposed to make me feel good Inspector
She stood up and walked away in anger. A blood stained rose
was delivered to her but why
Ajabde!!!!
She heard Pratap call her name but she was pissed off at him.
He was supposed to tell her all these things and not hide them from her.
Suddenly a car came from nowhere startling everyone
Arey…dekhkar….move out
The car moved in full speed towards the girl who was lost in
her thoughts and the last thing people saw was the car collided with the police
jeep and an explosion rocked the entire station.
Oh No!!!! Update ASAP
