Hello friends… NILASH back with the next part. Thank You so so much for all your amazing responses. HAPPY READING
“Di… you won’t believe that I will share with you right now, and there is a bad news” Soumya sounded excited but with a low tone.
“What happened?” Anika asked.
“Ishan’s mother died” Soumya said and the next moment what all she narrated was just something no one can ever think of. Anika was spellbound to react when Soumya hanged the phone and went back to investigate the crime scene. Anika sat up on the bed while her confused reactions were too confusing that she also failed to decide that she should be sad or happy.
“Hey what’s the matter” Shivay jerked her doubting something is wrong. She looked up ever so silently and slowly making the suspense to grow more. “Shivay can anyone in this world be without weakness and love?” Anika asked directly shooting her stare at his eyes confusing him more.
“Anika what happened? Why sounding so different? Something happened right… please share” yeah his tone only said that he isn’t a police officer to get the hints of her words.
“Just answer Shivay, do you think in anyone’s life there exists no weakness or love life?” she asked again.
“No… but how is it related to the situation?” he asked back and sat beside her.
“Yes Shivay it’s almost next to impossible that a man or woman or a girl or boy never loves anyone in their life, Sudha was Inesh’s love interest…” before Anika could have completed “what?” Shivay shouted.
“Wait there is more to it… Sudha was Mr. Mathur’s daughter…” again Shivay interrupted shouting “what? Mr. Mathur means Late SP Mr. Mathur who was SP before you?” she nodded yes saying “yes, Sudha is Sudha Mathur, now I remember that why I always felt like seeing her somewhere when I first saw her over the postmortem table” she stopped to frame words for the next sentences.
“Wait, that means Inesh loved Sudha… or rather say their was a love story going between them?” he asked.
“Yes” she replied.
“Then why did Inesh kill her? I mean if he used to love her then why would he kill her… and what about Mr. Mathur’s death?” Shivay asked.
“Inesh didn’t kill her… Ishan’s mother killed Sudha and probably Inesh still don’t know that Sudha isn’t alive” she said taking a pause again. “But why will a mother kill the person who is loved by her son?” he threw the next question. “Inesh is not Ishan’s mother son” as the words left Anika’s mouth Shivay’s throat again sounded “what? But Soumya said that Inesh and Ishan are brothers”
“Yes they are but they are not the brother of a single mother, Ishan’s mother is Inesh’s maternal aunt, maasi, there is a huge story behind it Shivay… that no one knew but before Ishan’s mother committed suicide she wrote everything over a paper and there was a pendrive too beside her letter” she again paused and this was it of Shivay’s patience when he replied irritated “you just describe everything in a flow, these mysterious pauses in between are creating havoc in my patience”
She chuckled a little and continued the story of another dark past but it’s of Inesh’s life “Inesh was the son of a police officer, Mr. Ahuja who died years back in some open fire, Mr. Ahuja, Inesh’s father, was a very reputed and honest police officer according to Ishan’s mother’s letter… Inesh was the first child of his parents so he was most pampered, one fine day Inesh was playing along with his friends when he saw the revolver of his father lying over the tea table in their living room, he was of twelve years then and got fascinated to shoot something using the revolver, the gun was unfortunately loaded and he somehow clicked the trigger and shot the bullet, the bullet pierced one of his friends heart and being shot from close distance it came out and pierced the lungs of the other. He was afraid then, after he saw his friends dying in front of him, he that time knew that either he will get to go to jail or he will be hanged, as he was small he never knew that only adults are hanged for killing somebody but not the children, he kept down the revolver and dragged both the bodies to their garden and hid them behind one bush. He then went and hid inside the cupboard of his room. His parents were out for some work and when they returned their living room was flooded with blood and the dragging stains of blood led them to the bodies. Inesh’s father sat down and checked the pulse of both the boys and declared that they were dead. He understood what might have happened. He cursed himself for leaving the gun in that open place. It took no time for the police to arrive and more specifically Inesh’s father called the police. He decided to send his son to jail for this crime, Inesh heard this from a distance and he was in disbelief that his own father is sending him to jail. He ran away from there for getting saved. Everyone started to search for him but he was nowhere to be found and with days everyone forgot the incident, a hatred grew inside Inesh’s heart for his parents and police and this system after whatever his father has decided to do with his tender life. He returned after almost two years to see a baby girl with his parents and they seemed happy. He tried to go inside the house and at night he managed to hop in where he noticed that all his photos and memories were taken down, there was only the pictures of his sister… it seemed to him as if they have forgotten him but little did he knew that it was for his safety so that no one gets any of his picture to find him out from the place where he is hiding. His hatred increased more and he promised to himself that he will take the revenge for this, he will ruin everyone’s life who has ruined his… his parents, the official laws of police system and he developed hatred for this country too. He walked out and boarded a train, he landed up in Mumbai. Days were passing and one day his maasi, Ishan’s mother found him out on the streets of Mumbai, begging for food and money, she immediately took him along with her and as she knew everything beforehand she just asked necessary questions like if he wants to go back to which Inesh replied that he wants revenge from everyone who ruined his life. His maasi showed concern but she was happy inside as she got another member, another tender head for her gang, yes Inesh was the part of the gang to which his maasi was connected from years and have been training children and teenagers to become against their countries. Inesh grew up to be a man with full of hatred inside him. The open fire in which Mr. Ahuja died was the one organised by Inesh to kill his family. He then joined the training of police along with us to destroy the system being a part of it” Anika stopped “water please” she said and Shivay extended the water.
“But how is Sudha connected?” Shivay asked being restless.
“Let me drink water at first” Anika replied and gulped down the water and then started to narrate the rest part of the story again “Mr. Mathur was to come to us to train ourselves, there Sudha used to accompany him at times, maybe there their story started, everything was fine but Mr. Mathur came to know that Inesh was a part of terrorist gang, he was coming to disclose everything when Inesh’s men killed him and then Ishan also died. Inesh was never sad of Ishan’s death but he was happy instead. He has transformed to a devil completely by then. Sudha came to know too after some months and she also died rather say she was being killed… but the most shocking part was Ishan’s mother who herself has planned the bomb blast to kill Sudha went to police station and claimed Sudha as her daughter… Inesh was unaware of this and some days ago Ishan’s mother agreed to Sushrudh, Sudha’s brother, that she will help him to catch Inesh red handed and hand him over to police. They were both doing this and the bomb blast in which Inesh got injured was their plan. But the question lies is why did Ishan’s mother wanted to hand over Inesh to police and secondly why did she kill Sudha” the story ended. Many of the confusions got cleared but then also every clue leaves something untouched and here also two more questions were left to get answered.
Next day arrived. Inesh was unconscious since previous day evening and now when he opened his eyes, he was in some dark room. The room was cold, very cold… the cold breeze froze his veins and he was unable to move.
“So Mr. Inesh, now will you surrender or still you want to deny and hide all your crimes” a familiar voice spoke up.
“You blo*dy woman leave me” Inesh shouted aloud. He thought he was tied up but he wasn’t which took time for him to realise. Anika went close to him.
“Inesh I know everything about your past, just accept everything and maybe I can lessen the amount of punishment” she said but he being a beast held her clothing and tried to scratch her cloths. Her eyes widened and she slapped him hard.
“How dare you?” she asked and slapped him again.
His strength was already less and he was being frozen, the AC of that room was on in the minimal temperature freezing him within. He could not get up and collapsed. Anika asked the officers on duty to make sure that he wakes up in two hours. The officers nodded yes and Anika went away to another room to wait for Inesh’s consciousness to return.
PRECAP- MR. CHATTERJEE REVEALS SOMETHING TO INESH… the moral of the punishment of this chapter was Inesh has been kept into a room where AC was on in freezing temperature since morning so that his veins gets pain of being getting frozen.
