AT THE C NEWS COMPANY:
"Good morning sir!" Says Meghna, standing in the cabin of the CEO.
"Oh! So you are here already?" He asks, mockingly.
"Yes sir. I'm sure that this time I won't give you any chance to fire me. I promise." Meghna assures.
A small laugh bursts out of the CEO's mouth hearing Meghna speaking with such confidence.
"Let's see." He presses his laughter.
"Of course you will do that Megh!" Says Sakshi, making faces at the CEO.
"Sakshi, take her to her cabin and make her understand this case." He orders.
"She already knows about it sir."
"Okay. Then come for a meeting at the director's office before lunchtime." He dismisses them.
"Sure sir." replies Meghna.
"Ahhhh…….wow!" The girls scream on top of their voices. They both jump in joy as Meghna is on the line once again.
IN THE JAIL:
{Only if I hadn't done that thing, I would have been out of here. Why did I do that? For what? For whom? For me? Or for that person? Questions arise in my mind. I clung onto the jail's iron bars and started thinking, I stop only when I see my Father, Mukesh Sinha is here to meet me.}
"On what basis? huh..on what basis have you arrested my son?" His father asks, angry.
"Mr. Mukesh, we have got some evidence against your son." An officer replies.
"I don't care about that filthy evidence. I just want my son to be out. Do you understand? Or I will sue this system." He warns, pointing at everyone.
Everyone lowered their heads.
"Or you will what?" Asks a stiff and strong voice from behind.
"And Who are you?" Asks Mukesh Sinha, turning around.
"Head of the Delhi police department." The officer shows his identity card.
"Look whoever you are, you are not…" Mukesh Sinha starts again, but is interrupted.
"Wait. Wait...wait Mr. Mukesh, calm down." This makes the head angry and he says loudly. "This is not your company's office and we are not your slaves that you're showing your attitude here. This is a police station. Your son has been framed for two Murders, we have got his fingerprints on the gun by which the murders had taken place. The motive is clear that your son was jealous of your step-son, Meet. What more do you want?" He asks, hands on his hips.
"I will talk to the higher officials. It's all of yours doing. You are purposely arresting my son just because he is not on good terms with y'all." Mukesh Sinha warns.
"Yeah. Everyone knows what your son is capable of and of how spoiled he is." Says the head, mocking him.
"You…." He tries to hit the head.
"Take him out…" The head orders.
{My mind is on the flashbacks of that night.}
THAT NIGHT:
{What a great party it was. Colours of joy were spread everywhere in the entire hall. An identity hiding party. Our contract partners threw it. Everyone was wearing beautiful gothic masks on their faces. Dancers were dancing. The music was soft and slow and I was into the rhythm completely immersing into it. I had not drunk much, but was taking small sips of my tequila.}
"Where's Payal, Roshan?" Vihaan asked his assistant/secretary about his girlfriend.
"She is in the washroom sir." The secretary says.
"Go and check on her." He orders.
{She didn't arrive for the past half an hour. Where's she? Is she well?}
FEW MOMENTS LATER:
"Sir, something is happening in Meet sir's room." His secretary comes running.
"What? I'm not interested." He brushes off, continuing to look into his mobile and eyeing the girl who has been watching him since the party started.
"You should check it once." The secretary insists.
" What in the world? Get aside." Says Vihaan, taking the last sip of tequila and getting up to go upstairs into Meet's room.
{I enter Meet's room in the hotel}
"Meet, stop it." Vihaan orders.
{I see him. A bullet sound echoes soon after into the entire hotel. And I come out of my flashback}
{I did right. It was the correct decision. I don't regret it. And never will. Should have killed him twice. I look into my father's eyes and my father looks at me while the officers are taking him out. My glare is promising and fiery.}
