Chapter 31

******

The police dragged him out while the angry mob and the media poured behind them , amid this chaos the police made the way to the van , throwing him in , the police rode off to escape the mob.

Ishani and Aryan walked down the aisle encircled by the police officials and Pihu looked at them.

Kabir stood up smiling.

"Ishani.......",

He looked at Riddhima.

"Ishani....",

He shook her and she looked up.

Coming out of her thoughts she stood and looked at Pihu.

"Come let me drop you home ..",

"No ..... We will go.....",

"Come-on I will no....",

"Actually we will go to the police station first.....",Pihu spoke.

"Why", Kabir asked in surprise.

"To take his statement." , Pihu spoke .

" He won't say anything and do you trust this psycho..... Whatever even the police won't allow you.", Kabir spoke.

" Why the lawyer took your name Kabir..." ,Riddhima interupted him .He looked at her in surprise.

"I..... I don't know it's all politics dear to save one they have to frame someone and I am easy target to them." He held her hand.

"Let's go....",

Riddhima stood there still separating there hands.

"You go I will come afterwards."

Kabir looked at her in supressed rage and she stayed still, how did she dared to deny him , like him .

Kabir left with his guards while Riddhima walked out with Pihu and Advait.

"Do you have proofs or you just asked me to say all that." The lawyer stoped them.

Riddhima looked up at him and walked away. Advait stood there explaining the things to the lawyer while Pihu and Riddhima left.

Sitting in front of the window , Riddhima was clueless what happening around her , she was in no state to think a way out of this , nothing , her eyes filled with defeat she looked as the clock striked 4 p.m. Now they had only 64 hours left , just 64 hours before the final hearing.

Advait rushed in with the files.

" Riddhima.......", She looked up blankly,"We have to get the proofs.....",She turned her head in hopelessness , if she knew any reply to this .

Pihu came and held her shoulder , "We can't loose now."

Riddhima stood up and walked to the open window.

"But what we will do...." Advait spoke.

" What.......", Riddhima looked up blankly as the bird crossed the sky ,".....We have to enter the mansion again and collect the proofs without dropping it ...." Riddhima had a broken smile , she had cried so much over her stupidity that now only she knew why she even smiled.

"But how.....", Advait sat down.

"Kabir's studyroom."Pihu spoke.

"If somehow we can access to the study room , we can surely get some proofs...." ,Pihu explained.

"But Riddhima had already checked the study and she got nothing......"

"Got ......... Only if I had the ability to keep it...", Riddhima held the curtains ,Pihu took a deep breath .

"If somehow we can get his laptop , we are sorted. ", Pihu spoke , "But that's impossible.", Advait interupted.

"Impossible....... can you speak a little positive..", Pihu looked at him in disinterest.

"And who is saying that...",

"No.... what do you mean...",

"You know ....", Advait turned his head.

"Do one thing , call me when your fight is done and that Kabir has left nothing for us to sort....", Riddhima walked up to the room.

Pihu and Advait looked at each other.

"I think that's a suitable idea.", Advait stood up.

"We know but how's that going to proceed....",

"I will go.....", Riddhima stopped and turned to them."My mistake , my risk".

Pihu looked up.

"And what will you say..... Actually I needed your laptop for one day....." Advait spoke in frustration . Pihu held her head in frustration. Riddhima had nothing in her eyes , hope they call it . Putting on a fake affirmation she looked at Advait.

"How can I meet Vansh?", She spoke. Pihu turned to her and then at Advait.

"It's not at all easy to meet him now, everything is against him , and even that Ka....".

"I have to met Vansh.", She was just blunt.

Advait looked at her hopelessly,

"We can just try....",

"Ok". She took up her bag and went outside.

Pihu and Advait looked at each other and then followed her. The car stopped outside the station and they walked out, Advait went in but it was more than expected that the result , would be very obvious. He came out with a dead expression.

Riddhima closed her eyes for a second and all of it ran before her eyes , "I will try." She rushed to the cabin.

"Sir I have to meet him only for few minutes..... That's it."

She begged the official.

"No, he is a dangerous criminal we can't."

"Sir please , I take every responsibility...." He held the cabin door.

The official opened the door and moved out. Riddhima ran behind him.

"Please it's very important and I ....I take the responsibility....." .

The official stopped and looked at her in frustration.

"Can't you understand no, that's it."

"Please ......",

"Constable throw this girl out now ",

The lady came and held her shoulder.

"Sir please just once what .... What's the problem with you when I don't have any ,I want to talk to him.........."

The constable threw her out and she stood there silent for few minutes , she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and then turned to Pihu , she looked at the people staring her , as if she cared , taking slow steps she walked up to the bench and sat.

"Let's go home.",

Pihu held sat by her side.

"You go I will come later.",

"What later man they won't allow you to go in,  let's go."

Riddhima was still to the place , closing her eyes in frustration , she looked at Pihu,

"I will come ..... You go",

"But...",

Advait stopped Pihu , and held her to the car.

They knew that the creature sitting on the bench would never get ready to come with them, the most stubborn person ever born. Pihu threw her bag in the car in frustration as she looked at her, still sitting adamant.

It was night when the officials left off from there day job. As he passed by the tree he noticed that the girl was still sitting on the bench. He looked at her in frustration, got into the car and left.

Riddhima sad eyes has no instance of dizziness , the 64 hours where slowly falling and as they falled there chances of failing rised. She actually can't understand this , it's so simple , she want to meet him , no , he is this , he is that, she just have to meet him , and people give her advice , why , she don't need it and what she need, she is not allowed , why can't she meet him .

Good , but when they will come to know he is innocent then , then she will tell them nicely ,she will just make sure they suffer equally , literally , be that this official ,that constable , the mob and offcourse that prosecutor, he needs it most.

This Mr unknown is going to cost you a lot she was reminded of Pihu's word , either Pihu knows future or she has a great guess , every fear of her is turning true , everything she says turns true at some point, a smile script on her , he is costing a lot afterall , a full night of wait , what else investment do he need.

She clenched her shoulder as the night went past by her eyes while her mind ran in theories , his wounds would be paining so much , the one on the forehead was brutal , wait a minute if they make his stab stiches more severe , no...., Her hands reached to the scarf in her bag , taking it out she looked at the blood , had he eaten something , that constable must have surely misbehaved with him and , and...

She stopped .

What was the point of diverting her mind in all these talks when actually she knew why she was sitting there . It's...
