From being arranged to love!!! #An Indian Love Story

37.Unfolding the past!!

I leaned onto the bedpost, my legs stretched, and thought about how to start, from where to start..

She got up and sat opposite me, legs knees hugged to her chest by her arms.. Looking at me expectantly... I took a breath.. Closing my eyes...

.......... .......... ......... ......... .......... ..........

Flashback..

  It all happened 5 years before.. In a town in Mumbai..

There was a happy family, a happy husband, a happy wife with their happy twins.

Mr. Haridas Sharma, the head of the house, a hardworking  inspector in town. Mrs. Karthika Haridas, the respected and kind teacher of the town's school...

The twins, Ram Charan and Shivani Charan... both 21... With Ram doing his final year B.B.A and Shivani with doing her degree in Literature, both aspiring to be just like their parents, one an officer, the other a teacher...

It was a happy life until Haridas got promoted to the city an hour away as the circle inspector. The son was away from home, studying from his hostel in Pune..

Everything turned around from the events that started one fine day.. Upturning their lives...

The family was happy, with the good news of promotion.. But none of them knew that this promotion was only a plot, a plot to get rid of the current inspector and place Haridas in that position, to be a puppet of the uncrowned King of the city.. Gunaa Prasad..

Gunaa was a drug smuggler, all he had as a family was his younger brother Shiva, the rest of the world feared him... A ruthless killer... Both the brothers, craving for women..

There was not a single person who liked them.. He ruled the city, his men all over the place, killing anyone who went against Gunaa.. He was the king, the government, the magistrate..

It was he who killed the inspector, for raising his voice against Gunaa.. The young wife still in his house, being killed by the brothers every time they want fun.. He was a terror of the city..

  Hari was unaware of this, and was elited by the promotion....

"Goodmorning Sir". The man in the uniform gave Hari a salute on his first day of Duty..

"I'm Shankar, and this is your office." He showed him the office, a good room stuffed with tables chairs and a deck of files.

"Thank you Shankar.. And please give the file of the city's  case file history.." He ordered, and got himself comfortable on the wooden chair, his name plate placed in front of him.

He felt proud of himself... Proud of the journey from a local constable to the inspector.

But the case file that arrived in front of him made him suspicious. Too many murders, too many missings, too many rapes, but all unsolved...  Only victims but no convicts..

"Shankar... Why are all the cases unfinished?" He asked out of curiosity,shuffling through the pages.

"Sir.. All these are done by a single person.. But there is nothing we can do against him." He said, looking terrified. Fear clear in his face.

"Him.. Who?" Hari asked, getting angry.

"Him.... Gunaa" He whispered the name, as if feared that hearing him say the name, someone will kill him.

"Gunaa...?" Hari asked loudly, only to see Shankar flinch.

"Yes sir... He is the head of the city.. A pakka rowdy.. He is the reason for all these murders and rapes... He is in the land mafia, smuggling and everything. He has crores of money in different countries in the world.. He has even the hold from above, there is nothing we can do against him.." Shankar said in a low voice, so that only he can hear.
