" Whatever happens at court today , Please give a day's time for sentence . Please. I request you your honour "

" Lawyer Prakash , What's going on. You know i can't do that "

" Sir you know me well. You know i wouldn't ever support a criminal.  Please just this once. Isn't it better than letting an innocent man go to jail ? "
" Fine. This shouldn't go out. I am doing this just because i have seen you from the moment you started working as an intern "

" Thankyou so much Sir

COURT
11:30 A.M

" Your honour , I would like to call my witness ,  Mr Rahul Patil , who was involved in the murder and helped the guilty too " She said in a determined voice. She glanced at Vikram , One look at him and she knew he knew what was going to happen today. He didn't look sulky , but there was an edge of frown to his face that told her he himself wasn't happy with what was going to happen and the inner agreement that would have happened between him and his inner party

" So Mr Patil , Tell me why were you at the hotel that night , When the records clearly states that there is no employee named Rahul Patil in the hotel " She gave him a look which meant you better say the truth .

" I .... i was called in for help. " He stuttered

" Which kind of help Mr Patil " She leveled her eyes to him and he gulped

" I got.... a call .... They said i would have to help someone escape .....I didn't know what work till i go there. I swear. I was just told i'll get my money if i help the man escape discreetly " He fumbled with words and kept his eyes lowered when gaze of everyone present in the court pressured him

" Can you tell everyone  who that man was ?"   She smiled a little looking at the judge. She knew there was no going back from here. Whatever she was doing today would lead in only two things . Either an innocent  i.e Umar goes to the jail , but she'll still have a day to prove him innocent as she asked the judge and if he was really not innocent ,he would anyway be going to sentenced .

" It was him ." He pointed at Umar who even though remained emotionless , she saw a flicker of sadness behind it.

" Umar Riaz " he said aloud and all heads turned to him . Karan looked on as teja glanced at Umar. He knew , understood how difficult it was for her to do this . He was her bestfriend and she had to handover to court herself.

" Thankyou. Mr . Patil , That's it "

" Objection , Your honour " Vikram stopd up buttoning his court and even though she was surprised at his objection , she masked it well

" How do we believe him your honour ? There's no proof that states this witness is saying the truth " Vikram smirked a little. Even though he was ordered not to put up a fight in the case , it was a question of ego. How could he let her win the case just like that ?

" There is a proof Mr Dixit , If only you could let me complete " She smiled sweetly at him while he rasied an eyebrow

" Here's a recording of a phone call on which Mr Patil is being ordered to pretend as a hotel staff and help the culprit in escaping " She said smoothly , gesturing rohit to handover the recording
