Her Voice

Episode 17

    Vikram and KK opened their eyes and saw they were in the darkroom and KK started shouting saying, “please leave me, I don’t know anything.”

    Vikram who was lying some far away from him said, “what you don’t know KK and why are you shouting? Do you think they will listen to you and leave you?”

    Sir, what are you doing here? Is it your house? Why is it so dark?

    Shut up, it’s not my house, the driver hit on my head and made me unconscious and brought me here. Look if you can see light anywhere.

    Sir, it is too dark and I am not understanding what is the source of air in this dark room.

    “There must be some source to get out of this room, just reach near the wall and start to check the wall, I am going to my right and you go to your left,” said Vikram and started to move slowly.

    KK started to move slowly and felt something hard and thought it was a wall and started to move forward slowly patting the wall.

    “Will you people ever stop your efforts to get out of this room?” asked the voice and KK stopped patting the wall, but Vikram was continuing his work, when suddenly the light was on and both KK and Vikram looked into each other as they both were sitting face to face.

    “Sir, you were on the right, then how come you came here,” asked KK looking at him.

Vikram looked at him angrily and moved back and observed the whole room and asked, “what do you want?”

KK looked at him confused and said, “I don’t want anything, sir.”

“Will you shut up, KK?” asked Vikram angrily and turned to the other side.

You always come to the point directly, but I like your attitude, do you people want something to eat?

“We don’t want anything, just leave us,” said Vikram angrily.

Okay, then what about your promise of listening to my story?

Vikram thought for some time and looked at KK and asked, “will you leave both of us after you complete your story?”

“What you will do after going out from here,” asked the voice.

“My wife is waiting for me, she might be tense,” said Vikram, and KK looked at him shocked.

The voice started laughing and asked, “don’t you know that your wife died a few months ago?”

My wife is alive and I talk to her daily and today also I scolded her for messing my life by asking to help Anuj.

“So, you fought with your wife, but sorry to tell you, your wife is no more and you can confirm with the person sitting in front of you,” said the voice, and Vikram turned towards KK and he was looking shocked at him.

“KK, don’t tell me lies, you were there when I was talking to Sneha,” said Vikram.

Sir, Sneha madam died a few months ago in an accident and the bodies were burned in a way that we were not able to recognize anybody. So many people died in that accident along with the madam.

“KK, why are you lying to me? They won’t leave you if you support them,” said Vikram getting irritated.

KK looked at him for some time and just turned his head to the other side.

“Okay guys, I am leaving, do you want to ask me anything?” asked the voice.

“What do you want from us? Why you captured me?” asked Vikram.

There was no voice for some time and then the voice started to speak and said, “listen to my story and I promise I will leave you.”

“Okay, I am ready to listen to your story,” said Vikram, and KK looked at him confused.

The voice started narrating the story.

My father and mother dated each other for two years and got married and they both had one beautiful daughter and that is me…

Vikram just nodded his head.

After five years of their marriage, my mom came to know that my father has a habit of spending his night with some random girls and she argued with him and asked him for a divorce, but my father loved my mother a lot and he promised her that he will never repeat his mistake again and lead a normal life with my mother, but Naina’s mom came into our lives and everything got messed up.

After a few years, Naina’s mother died and Naina killed my parents just to take revenge and made me also an orphan like her. I was not able to do anything because my father told me not to harm her or try to take revenge on her.

Vikram and KK looked at her shocked and asked, “Naina killed your parents?”

“Yes, she killed my parents,” said the voice.

Anuj, who was tied in another room listened to her story and smiled. He freed his hands from the ropes and started to look for a way to get out of the darkroom.

He remembered his mother’s words that no room will be a closed room when you are alive and inside it. He came near the wall and started to search for the source for he felt the doorknob, he just turned the knob and the door got opened.

He happily came out of the room, but his happiness was short-lived when he saw Vikram and KK sitting in front of him.

Vikram and KK looked at him confused and asked, “where were you?”

“I was tied in that darkroom,” he said turning towards his back and saw there was a wall and looked at it confused and started to pat on it.

Vikram thought for some time and smiled and said, “I think we are going to die here only, come join us to die here,” and signaled Anuj with his eyes.

Anuj came and sat near him and thought for some time and smiled looking at Vikram and took his mobile and on the torch and saw that all the four walls are looking the same with no door. Anuj thought for some time and said, “I forgot that my mobile is in my pocket.”

Vikram and KK just smiled.

Anuj slowly went towards the wall and touched it and it felt like wood and he asked, “who is a strong person here?”

Vikram stood up and came near Anuj and said, “me..”

“Punch it, either you will hurt or the door will break,” said Anuj, and Vikram punched the wall with all his force and the door broke.

Anuj ran outside and saw they were still near the hospital only. He came near Vikram and said, “you go home, don’t think about anything, I will come after I complete my work.” 

“No Anuj, you are coming with us, I have to talk to Sneha, these people are lying to me that she died,” said Vikram angrily looking at KK.

    “Vikram, believe me, this work is more important than any other work for me, please go home,” said Anuj, and ran towards the hospital.

    Anuj entered the hospital and saw the receptionist was busy, he slowly went inside looking here and there, and reached the room number given by the receptionist and barged inside and saw one nurse was sitting taking care of the patient.

    The nurse looked at him and asked, “who are you?”
