It has been a week since Himanshu died. Kartikeya is cooped up in his room not talking. Making him eat has become difficult. Kiran with a lot of efforts make him eat. Right now Kartikeya is lying on his wife lap. His eyes are filled with tears. Kiran planted a soft kiss on his hair. After some time Kartikeya fell asleep. Kiran caressed his hair while he was sleeping.

NEXT DAY

I woke up in the morning and decided to go to work today. It has been a week Mamaji died. It has been a week since I went to work. Doctor asked me to rest because I might get stressed again but today I will go to work. I will teach that bride a lesson for killing my Mamaji. I felt my blood boiling thinking about her. Tears welled up in my eyes. But it immediately calmed down when I saw my wife Kiran. I went towards her and hugged her from behind. She turned towards me and hugged me back. Ab aapko kaisa lag rha hai she asked caressing my hair. Itna bhi acha nhi lag rha hai I said. I miss Mamaji. Tears rolled down my eyes. Kiran wiped my tears and hugged me. I hid my face in the crook of her neck and sobbed. She caressed my back while I cried.

Aaj jitna rona hai ro lijiye ji kyuki iss baar uss bride ko rulana hai said Kiran.

I broke the hug and looked at my wife. There was a determination and anger in her eyes and it immediately motivated me.

Main Shanaya ko pakad ke hi rahunga I said.

My wife smiled at me. I hugged her and went to the station.

Good morning Sir said Nikhil.

Good morning I replied.

I went to my cabin and started thinking how to catch the bride. My thoughts immediately went to Deepika. Uske chehre aur shareer pe humesha chot lagne ki nishaan rehte the Deepika words ringed in my mind. Did she get abused by her father or her parents I thought. And that's why she is murdering people to let out her anger or she is a sadist I thought.

At evening I took Kiran with me and went to meet Deepika. Kiran and she talked a lot and they exchanged numbers. Kiran and Deepika are of same age. I smiled looking at them.

After 40 minutes I whispered in Kiran's ears baby ghar chale?

Nhi mujhe Deepika ke saath bethna hai she said.

Haan Sir Kiran ko rehne dijiye na.

They looked at me with puppy eyes. I sighed.

Ok I said.

Yayyy they both screamed.

God my ears. I will pick you up after sometime I said to Kiran. Ok she said and waved at me.

I said bye and left. Kiran and Deepika both are inside. Stay here 24/7 and do not let them come out I said. Yes Sir she replied. I left in my car and drove to station. While I was driving I felt if someone was following. I saw car in the rearview mirror. I stopped the car and the car stopped behind me not moving. I immediately took out my gun and got out of the car. I knocked at the window and the car door opened. A woman got out and stood infront of me.

Kya Chahiye I asked controlling my anger.

Sir w-woh she said.

KYA CHAHIYE I lost my cool and yelled.

Sir it's about your Mamaji she said almost sweating.

I took a deep breath.

Mere Mamaji kya I asked.

Sir aapke Mamaji ne mujhse paise liye the.

Mujhe mere paise wapas chahiye she said. I chuckled.

What she asked.

I don't believe you I said.

Sir I have proof she said.

Show me I said.

She unlocked her phone and gave me her phone. Indeed it was Mamaji's number and I saw the messages exchanged between them. I felt disgusted.

No my Mamaji would never do this I said.

Sorry Sir but your Mamaji was a pervert she said.

My jaw clenched in anger hearing her words.

That can't be true I yelled.

Sir but it is. He after borrowing money from me asked if I would love to have sex with him. Infact I am sure he has multiple girlfriends she said.

No I said controlling my tears.

Sorry Sir but sometimes you don't know your own family she said. I am giving you two days to return my money otherwise she stopped speaking.

Otherwise I asked.

Otherwise see you and your family in court she completed her sentence. Please miss I said.

Anna she said.

Miss Anna how much did my mamaji borrowed from you I asked. 10 lakh she said and I tried to keep my jaw from dropping.

I still need to know that you aren't lying I said.

I just showed you the messages she said.

Still I want to verify this in my own ways I said.

Fine give me your number she said.

I gave her my number and she dialled it. My phone rang. She cut the call. Two days she warned and left in her car. I stood there for a few seconds to process what just happened now then I left in my car. I asked Nikhil to investigate this case. I went to take Kiran from Deepika's house. Deepika said bye and we left. I took Kiran to the house and asked her to not come out. She nodded and went inside. By night Nikhil told me something which made my eyes welled up with tears.
