Saving Him ✓

Chapter 19

******

The sun was out and as the rays danced down the opening door,
Riddhima stepped out of the cab , wearing a wrap and a leather coat over it , fluttering her open air in the wind , she adjusted her brown specs and stepped inside in her long boots curving over her ankles.

Pihu followed her carrying all the files and a bag. The guard stopped them.

Riddhima lowered her glasses and gave him a smirking look.
"Secretary...", Pihu came and handed the appointment to him.

The guard bowed and they walked in.
"What is secretary.....",
"Pihu not now ".

Both of them walked in . The mansion was darker than they expected it to be in the morning , offcourse there were no white curtains after all, the servant approached them.

"We are here to meet Mr. Kabir.",

"Sure ma'am please get seated.",

Riddhima took the seat in the middle of the long sofa while Pihu took the side one. Only they know what all plot they played to resist Vansh from coming here. He cares but this time he need it more , they can't take a risk ; Keeping the so called most wanted criminal safe in this crowded city is another level of challenge. Riddhima was nervously sitting , ok she handled the guard well but handling the guard is no where near to handling one , who is master of handling anything.

And then he walked in.....Kabir. Dressed in a black tuxedo, hair perfectly done, trimmed beard with eyes flashing in brutal pride, he walked down with a couple of body guards following him. He came and looked at Riddhima , his eyes ran from top to bottom and then took the seat in front of her.

Riddhima forced a smile,"Good morning Mister Kabir...",

He forced a smile.

"Good morning ladies , my secretary told me you all came here for some study.",

Ridhima smiled , taking off her glasses she kept it on the front table. Sitting straight she smiled again .

"Yes...... We are here for a case study.",

"And how can I help you in that.",

"Because this case is very close to you.",

Kabir raised an eyebrow.

"This is the case of Vansh Raisinghania.".

They expected him to react after hearing this name but he was unaffected.

"Ohh...... Poor man..." He sighed.

Riddhima looked at Pihu.Pihu opened her laptop and handed the file to Ridhima.Resting her leg over the other , she turned the pages. While Kabir observed her.

"So how do you know him...",
Kabir smiled.

"Old friends.",

"How much old friends?",

"I think five or may be six years since I know him.",

Riddhima looked at him and then at Pihu who typed out whatever he said.

"So.... I mean.... What made him such a pshyco that he killed his own family.",

Kabir sighed.

"It is a long story........ ",

"We are here to listen that only length don't matter unless it matters to you , maybe.",
Kabir smircked , his eyes ran down this unusual girl . She was different. He smiled again.

" The man was good but when life take a turn even the good turns evil ...................... His losses in business and increasing family pressure made him so stressed that he lost his mental balance. He turned to drugs and alcohol and lost everything thing to it. I wanted to help him in every way possible but he just never listened to me and one day the news came that his family was killed and he was arrested for it .............  I wasn't able to believe it but you can't erase the truth." ,

Riddhima took up the glass and swallowed some water. Kabir observed as the water gulped down her neck.

She took a deep breath.

" From our source we came to know that you yourself worked in partership with him then why you broke it...",
His thoughts broke and he shrinked relaxing on the couch.

"It was because of his behaviour he was such a money thirsty person that he could go to any limit to extract money..... When the things weren't in his favour he made number of spams in the company and I could not support a criminal and thus I decided to broke the partner ship.",

" Sir, we came to know that your name came into the Henry group of hotel incident....",

Kabir looked at Riddhima.
"Lady are you interrogating me....", He smiled.
"Nevertheless it was a heartbreaking incident , my father committed such a crime that I have to face disgrace throughout my life for that.",he sighed.

"Sorry for bringing out that." Riddhima saddened her face dramatically.

"No no it's not your fault...", He smiled.

"Thank you sir... We'll approach you again if we have know something more.",
Riddhima stood up.

"It's already lunch time.... So would you both mind to leave after lunch.",

Riddhima looked at Pihu.

"Ma'am we have to go to the asylum too for further details ", Pihu exclaimed.

"Don't worry I will make that for you.", Kabir spoke.

Riddhima smiled at Kabir.
"Sure mister....."
"Only Kabir ,please call me Kabir ", Kabir broke her statement.

Riddhima looked at Pihu , taking a deep breath she turned to him, " Sure Kabir.".

They left for the dining room.The servant served the food while Riddhima sat right in front of Kabir.

"So who else is in your family Kabir...", She smiled.

Kabir looked down . "Family", he supressed his rage and forced a smile.

"No one....",

"Ohh I am so sorry...." ,Riddhima sighed.

"No no please, let's start the lunch.",

Riddhima and Pihu got ready to leave the mansion as the lunch was over , they walked up to the door when he stopped Riddhima.

"Wait you didn't told me your name....",
Riddhima turned.
"Didn't I.... I really act dumb sometimes.".

She opened her spects and wored it swiftly ," Hi , I am Ishani.....",
She smiled and Kabir face went pale.

"Thank you Kabir for the cooperation.", Kabir forced a smile at her.

They walked out of the mansion and got seated in the cab.
"Will this work...", Pihu asked Riddhima.
"It should..", she took a last look at the mansion.

Kabir was still standing at the door, his guard came forward.
"I want every information about them....", The guard went and Kabir raised an eyebrow,

"Ishani", he wispered.
