"What do you want?" asked the policeman. Karthik, who was panting since his arrival in the police station, seemed disarrayed. His mind was over something else.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV2ULilFJ4
"What are you up to?" The blank expression irritated the policeman. He asked again, in a louder tone, "What do you want?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOCQSNHWTA
"I want to see inspector Rakesh Rathi" Karthik said gaspingly.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uRxlfdxu0
"Rathi sir is busy, tell me what you want;" the havaldar pointed his finger at the chair in front of him. "Maybe, I can assist you." Even though the man, in his early fifties, was bit irritated before but he spoke humbly.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQGJTuPCWW
The fear broke out of Karthik's stumbling voice "I only want to speak to inspector Rathi". The constable had a strange vibe, he knew that something is wrong, the moment he saw Karthik. Sensing the fear and analysing the situation, the havaldar made him sit down and tried his best to calm Karthik. However he was restless and uneasy more than before.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk9qhYyrOC
"Bring some water" he asked one of his mates.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadx4rbWrEq
"What happened child? You look so tensed; what is wrong? You can talk to me. I am here to help you."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshexWmPXu9
"Is there anything bothering you? Or someone bothering you?" the havaldar kept bombarding him with his questions.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0mCNqVZoM
"Have you lost something?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI0zp1Pdg4
"Yes" Karthik finally broke the silence. "What is it? Have you lost your wallet or phone or any other valuables?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1IQarIpr
"No" replied Karthik.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPU3MIWYyr
"Then what is it? I can only help you if you'll say everything to me."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HrFL8F82x
"A lot of things;" he gasped. "My pride, soul, will, I've lost everything."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEzKm1WuiV
"I don't know what's even left. I had all the things I could ever imagine –good life, bright future and the right people. Now everything's gone in ashes."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNs7LjeXDF
The constable was confused than ever, trying to figure out what he is trying to say "What are you trying to say? Can you talk more-" before he could finish he was interrupted.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd9UMhHbhs
"I burned down everything" Karthik broke down into tears. "I burned down everything" he kept repeating.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM7RM6ZYXW
"What's wrong Raghu?" Another constable asked as he offered water.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoefrWt3is9
Both havaldars stepped aside to talk in private. "I have no idea. He is insisting to meet Rathi sir, but he is out for investigation. I am trying to figure out what's wrong but he keeps saying that he burned down everything."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vIp3VYnkI
"I think he is a problem, slap him twice and he'll talking clear and nice" he said laughingly. "Gorde!" constable Shinde screamed. "This boy is in agony and all you can think is to make fun of the matter, and moreover I think he's innocent. I just need to figure out what's wrong with him; he was talking about pride, soul and will, what's on his mind-"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfX3yTE8OK
"They all are! Half of the people here look innocent. But you know what they say, looks can be misleading. But carry on Mr-ACP-Pradyuman." He laughed. "Just don't call me to break doors."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5kTrP0kp0
Raghuram turned to talk to Karthik and sees inspector Rathi.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA8BGUGgOV
"Sir! Sir! Sir!" He rushed.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcFCfbN704
Even though Rathi was half his age, he deeply respected him and admired him, not only because he was his senior and it was mandatory, but because of the image Rathi made of himself. He looked up to him as his own proud son.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLOccBJaoq
Rakesh Rathi, who had two stars shining on his uniform with pride, was tall and charismatic. With bravery in his heart and honesty in his veins, Rakesh was considered an ideal policeman.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eaZ4Y7FTX
"What happened?" Rakesh responded.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCAWWbIYnZ
He noticed the boy on the bench, shredding tears. But he continued his way to cabin. "Sir that boy wants to meet you." Raghu said pointing his index finger towards Karthik. "Yeah I saw him, what's wrong with him? Why is he crying?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIHo4eoiLe
"I've been trying to figure out the same since he came. But all he wanted was to meet you. On insisting he spoke. But it only made me confused. He was talking about burning things down and something about losing pride and soul."410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8JvmQXq5l
"Pride and soul?" Rakesh wondered. "I think there is no use in sitting here and guessing what the real problem is. We have works to do. Let's talk to the boy itself." He stated. "Bring him in"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeb4Na945V
Raghu called Karthik and informed him to go inside the cabin. Karthik shook off the tears and went in. He grabbed a seat as instructed.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWw8XWyT2F
"What's your name?" asked Rathi. "-Karthik Sharma"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzb8E1xf3Q
It was not the first time that Rathi heard that name. He even thought that Karthik's face was familiar. He then recalled a closed case that he was working on. "I think we have met before, isn't it?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYg4cVY0L7
"Yes, you are the guy from the Kamal Shetty's case" He exclaimed.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRdr4DbY8
"Why are you here?"410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLM1CirhPk
"There are some things left unsaid from that case. The real criminal is yet to be imprisoned" Karthik stuttered.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCVrGKv8RS
"What? Who is it?" Rathi urged.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ3foXnyXu
Karthik gasped. His eyes were red and he was sweating heavily. Rakesh noticed that he was hesitating to speak.410Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPT3fZd0Cj
"Tell me everything." He insisted. "If there is a criminal out roaming in the free woods, it's my duty and responsibility to catch him. So please co-operate with me and tell me everything you know about Kamal Shetty case."
