His unhealed heart

Chapter 12

Ashish 

"Have you seen someone wearing orange shirt and was fair?" I asked the person and he shook his head and I sighed. I have been feeling hopeless now because no one really saw the person in which I am explaining.

"Have you found something about him?" I heard Vijay voice and I looked at him before shaking my head in negative.

"I think it will take a lot of time before we find that man. We should at least ask about the girl. Maybe this could help us find something more." He said and I nodded. He had got a point and we started to ask about the girl. I was tired because here people just told me that they saw her walking away but not many people. I went upto a stall and sat over there for a while. I was exhausted. 

"What happened sir? You are looking tired? You want anything?" He asked and I shook my head.

"If you want to help me then please do tell me if you have seen this girl or not." I took away my phone and put it forward to him and waited with hopeful eyes.

"I think I have seen her yesterday." I become hopeful when he said that and I quickly stood up.

"Do you think that someone was following her?" I asked him.

"Sir please give me time to think about this." I nodded and waited patiently though inside I was impatient but I have to wait in order to get my answer. "Sir I remember." He said and I cried a bit. Though it was looking stupid but for me now this was the greatest news.

"please do tell me fast about this." 

"Sir I had saw this girl going but she was again and again looking back though I didn't really focused but a quite healthy man was following her. I think he was in orange shirt and was wearing a gold chain." I thought for a while and something stuck inside my mind. 

"Is any shop or store have CCTV near by?" 

"Yes sir that store has." He said and pointed on the store and I nodded and thanked him and went away from there and at that moment only Vijay came in the picture and that too very tired. 

"There know one knows and I am already tried. When we will find the clue?" He asked in a desperate voice.

"Maybe your wish has come true." I said and he looked at me with questioning eyes and I know that he wants we to continue.

"That store had CCTV camera. We could check over there." He understood what I said.

"Why didn't this CCTV thing came in my mind?" He slapped on the back of his head and a crook smile come upon my face.

"I guess we should go there now." he nodded and we went towards the store and a young boy greeted us.

"We don't want anything but want the video of tomorrow from the camera that is outside." He looked at us with questioning eyes but when we make him saw our identity he quickly agreed to that.

"But sir I can't access over there as my boss is not here. He has the key of that room."

"Where is he now?"

"He has gone to village few days back and won't be coming till next week." I sighed.

"No problem. Give me his number and I will talk with him about this." Vijay asked and that boy hesitated at first but later he gave in. Vijay went outside the store. I looked around the store.

"You are still young why don't you go school instead of working over here?" I asked him.

"Sir I would have been in school if my father didn't pass away in the accident which had happened one year ago. My mother is also working and I have two more at home." I sighed.

"What was you father occupation?"

"He was a writer. He used to write article in newspaper." That caught my attention.

"You mean in other way your father is reporter." He nodded.

"Was he researching about something while he was alive? "

"Sir he was researching on those goons who are k********g young girls and boys and I don't really know if he had got some proof or not bug I only know that he started to get threatening calls."

"How do you know if those calls were normal or threatening one?"

"Sir just two or three numbers were there which used to call us to threaten. One day I picked up the call and got to know that he was getting threatening calls."

"Your father didn't report about that."

"Sir officers like you and that man outside were not present. Here officers were used to ignore our complain and would threaten us more. Here goons have more power than the normal person. My father didn't listen to the threatens despite my mother's daily pleading." He sighed.

"So you really think that it was an accident in which your father died?" He looked at me and shook his head

"None of my family believes this but in the eyes of every person that was an accident even if some people know that it wasn't an accident but who will speak up. No one."

"You are right when evil start to take over than many truth voice become the annoying buzz of bee. And when the thousands truth speak up together than it is that sword that could kill any evil of the life." He looked at me but didn't said anything. " I promise you that your father will get justice and you will again be able to go school." I said and a smile come over his face and at that time Vijay came inside.

"I have talked with him. He was anxious at first but I have made him understood the situation. We could access the room." I nodded.

"But keys."

"Leave that on me Chhotu." He said and ruffled his hair and went towards that room. I shook my head. He sometime act like a failure and sometime would act like he is pro in everything. Well that doesn't matter because it make him feel himself and that is all important
