Third Person’s POV

Everyone was sitting in the living room….with Kritika….Dsp Manish Bakshi was also
Present with one of his team members…

MANISH : Kritika, as you have already heard… we don’t have any proof… and your family
has not filed a complaint against Rishi… so after your statement…everything will
start legally…and your statement will be considered as the Proof….. So Kritika
tell us everything…that had happened on that day…

Kritika was sitting on the sofa between Anisha and Payel …..

They both encouraged her to speak by squeezing her hand…..

Very slowly with a low voice, Kritika started speaking…

KRITIKA : I was… on…my to the… airport… when I was going to take the highway…I saw a
signboard of construction works… so I had to take the other road which was the
factory road….. Then suddenly my car had stopped.... when I came out of the car
to check ….. Someone hit me on my head from behind and I got fainted…

MANISH : ok… did anyone was there? Did you see anyone? Maybe they can be used as eyewitnesses…

KRITIKA : umm.. Noo… . The road was empty… as it was only 4:30 in the morning…

MANISH : ok ..…continue..

KRITIKA : when I had regained my consciousness I found myself tied up on the bed and………….. [As you have already read in chapter -15 what had happened after that …so I am not mentioning it again].

Tears started falling from her eyes….. Anisha and Payel were also crying beside
her….. Anger was visible in everyone’s eyes… if they could they would
have beat Rishi to death right now...

Mrs kapoor passed a glass of water to Kritika…

Mrs. KAPOOR : Have some water, dear..

Kritika took the glass and drink it…

MANISH : Kritika , I know it is very difficult for you...but please be strong….and say
us… after that what had happened… I mean to say… I heard from Animesh (Mr.
Kapoor) that you had come here alone in a very miserable condition….. How did
you escape from there after Rishi left?

KRITIKA : I was unconscious… I don’t know for how many hours… when I woke up… some sounds were coming from outside of the room..… I had thought it was Rishi… but then a maid entered the room…

MANISH : A maid ?

KRITIKA : yes… she came near me and opened the tape of my mouth.... She helped me get up
and as my dress was torn….. She gave me a scarf of her and help me to cover
myself with it… she even said that she was there to help me…..

MANISH : help you?

KRITIKA : yeah… I didn’t think anything about it at that time……I just wanted to escape
from there…..

MANISH : hmm.. We understand… so then how do you come from there … had she booked a cab for you?

KRITIKA : No… a car was already present there…

MANISH : a car?

KRITIKA : she said that it was her husband's car…… and her husband was the one who drove me here…

MANISH : Hmmm….. Good at least there were two eyewitnesses…but the strange thing is why
they had helped you…

ANISHA : why strange? Maybe when they see her like this…they felt pity…

MANISH : Do you think a maid from this kind of rich family has that much courage to do
something without their master's permission even if they feel pity...

KARAN : are you trying to say it was Rishi… who asked the maid to help Kriti?

MANISH : I am not saying anything I am just assuming… we police don’t conclude anything
without proper proof… ok… come to the main point… so give me that scarf…maybe it can be used as proof later…

Mrs. KAPOOR : we….we…didn’t keep it.. we threw it away…

MANISH : Seriously??? Mr. Mehta… you didn’t let us do any physical tests on her… you have
even thrown that scarf….. Animesh what is this?

Mr. KAPOOR : we didn’t think-

MANISH : Think? It is my job… you should have asked me… this is not business….. This is
law… here only proof speaks….. The victim and culprit… both parties are
reputed and powerful families….. (Sigh) let's see what will happen? … Kritika you
are ready for this… right?

KRITIKA : y..e.s.. (Said with a barely audible and very low voice)

KABIR : Princess, we can’t hear you…

KRITIKA : yes  (a little louder than before)

Mr. MEHTA :Princess, we still can’t hear you…

Kritika looked up and saw everyone is looking at her….. She understood what they want..

KRITIKA : Yes ( said firmly)

Yes, she is ready for the fight…
