" No, You aren't trustworthy as you might mix something in the drink and seduce this poor officer " said the old lady as she approached the officer sitting in the sofa, (*Whispers*) " Hey young man, she will try to romance with you. But stay strong ". She asked her granddaughter to sit in the hall and walked into the kitchen.
A minute of silence took place.
" What was just happened here ? ", asked the officer.
(*Comes towards him*) " I'm sorry ! I'm really sorry officer. That's my grandmother, an overprotective one. She was afraid of me leaving her alone. Please don't take anything seriously ", Latha joined her palms together and came on her knees.
(*Sighs*) " Okay..... I believe you know why I'm here ".
" About the abduction, I guess. L-Listen officer, I've nothing to do with them. I'm an innocent lady having a comparatively decent life with my grandmother here. (*Pleads*) Please don't arrest me and hang officer. Please consider my grandma's condition. She might become homeless and all those sins will come to you and your family members and-and you will die miserably due to those sins-"
" STOP ! (*Rubs his brows*) What kind of family is this ? An overprotective grandma and an overreacting granddaughter ".
" What ? ".
" Listen stupid, I'm not here to arrest you or hang you down. I'm here to investigate about the girl who got kidnapped ", said the officer and murmured,"What a tiresome family ! ".
" Aw, about Janaki. (*Chuckles*) What kind of stupid are you sir ? ".
(*Raises from the sofa*) "What did you just....? ".
(*Pushes him back*) " No No No, c-calm down, I mean, why didn't you say that at first itself ? ".
" When did you let me ? "
" Okay, you wanna know about the abducted girl right ? I'll tell you. She's an oddly smart girl with a high level of intelligence, an extremely high level. As far as I know she has a Multiple personality disorder ".
" I see, some of your asylum staffs addressed her as a thread to other. Is that so ? ".
" That's just bullshit. She only gets triggered when anyone disturbs her or someone close to her. And she'll behave as a pet to the ones she likes. Sometimes she would make me think why is she even inside this asylum. Her manners and words would be more genuine and decent than us ".
" About her friends, family guardians ? ".
(*Thinks*) " Uuhhmm...Sorry sir. I've no idea as it's been only a few years since I came here and all the previous batch nurses retired. Only our doctor know about her. Is he alright ? "
" Kinda, he was too stressed about that gir-"
" Awwuuh! You were talking about that asylum doctor. Why didn't you tell that early ? ", the grandma entered again with a couple of soup bowl. " Thank goodness someone broke that bison's head before me. That old man, he kept raising the working hours till midnight you know ? "
