CHAPTER 7
Shaurya POV……
We both stood beside Mr. Pathak and I touched his shoulder. He looked at me. I can see his anxious expression, his swollen stares, his fresh tears, his messy hair, and his hand and shirt covered with blood.
He stood up from his chair and embraced me tight and crying loudly
“Sa…. Saman….” he can’t even say her name properly.
“Shhh….. Uncle, calm down. Shhh” I was trying to relax him and I asked Arav to give me a glass of water. Arav nodded his head and give me a glass of water. I try to make him drink a little water to calm him down.
When he swallowed a bit he began to tell me what occurred with Samantha.
“I was in the office and working in my cabin. I was seeing the financial report for last year and this year. When I was checking it, there were some problems I found out, so I decided to cross-check it and when I cross-checked it, I saw lots of transactions from our company’s bank account to someone’s account. I write it down the account number on paper.” He said and started to search for something in his pocket. Then he give me a piece of paper I opened it and there is an account number written on it. Then he started again
“I tried to call you, but your number was not reachable, then I saw Arav sir in the office and tried to discuss things with him but before I do, I received the phone from an unknown and another line said that Samantha met with an accident and I began to get a fright. I drop that file in my cabin and went out to see Samantha but when I reached there, I saw Samantha was lying there lifelessly. I picked her up and take her here, to the hospital. Sir, I have only one daughter. We never do anything wrong with anyone. For all my life I treated everyone as my own family and I taught the same thing to my daughter. When I lost my wife, at that time I don’t want to live but I had to move on because of my daughter. I lived my life cheerfully with my princess and now I am looking at her like this, I can’t help but think that what did I do wrong with someone? You know when I reached there, no one helped her. They all were doing photography there and I felt so destructive, that no one even helped her when she needed it the most.” He said and began to cry loudly. We both clutched him tight.
Just then Doctor came with a bad expression
“Doctor”
“Mr. Khanna, the Patient lost lots of blood and we needed the blood according to her blood type we don’t have that type of blood in our blood bank”
“What’s her blood group?”
“O negative”
“It’s my blood group. I will donate it.” Arav said and the doctor took him with her and I and uncle both were waiting outside. After some time Arav came and I went outside to bring some juice for Arav and Uncle. I know he also didn’t eat anything today.
I reached inside the hospital and give juice to Arav and Uncle. Uncle was saying no in beginning but then Arav insisted him drink a little then he sip it. After our family, Mr. Pathak and Samantha are the ones who are close to Arav. I know how he was feeling right now. He is just controlling himself not to cry at this time but it’s hard for him to look at Samantha in this condition.
“Mr. Khanna” Doctor came and stood in front of us.
“Doctor, how’s my daughter? Is she ok? What happens to her? Can I meet her?” Uncle jumped to ask questions.
“Yes, sir. She is absolutely fine. You can meet her after some time. We will first shift him to her room.”
“Thank you so much doctor, thank you so much. You saved my life.” Uncle and I both said to the doctor.
“Don’t thank me, you have to thank god first. To be honest, when I saw her here I thought she would be dead but your devotions did the charm. Samantha is a nice girl. She helped me when I needed someone to hold behind me. She saved my daughter once. You are so lucky to have her as your daughter” Doctor said and we all feel proud of Samantha. Uncle started to cry in enjoyment.
“I have to thank god first. I will come back soon. Will you both please take care of her until I come.” Uncle said
“Don’t worry uncle you go, we both are here until she gets discharged,” Arav said and I nodded my head. Uncle went out and I give a paper to him
“Arav find out whose account is this. I already know that uncle won’t do anything like this. I will finish the formalities first then talk with the copse.”
“Alright, I will find out. You go first to fill in the formalities. I will be here and call the bank manager.”
“Ok” I go to reception and fill out the formalities and pay all the bills. Just then copse came in case of Samantha’s accident.
“Hello, Mr. Khanna. I am Inspector Joey and he is Rony.”
“Hello, sir. Did you find out how this accident happened?”
“Yes sir, it’s not just an accident. It’s a planned murder case. Someone planned this accident.”
“What?” I become shocked to know about this. How could someone want to try to kill her? I will not leave that bastard. He has to face my outrage first. How dare he try to harm Shaurya’s sister.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Who is he? Did you find it?”
“No, for now, we didn’t find him. But we will soon capture him. For now, she is in danger. We have to find the offender soon. For now, you have to take her somewhere secure. I know Samantha. She is a nice girl. Always help others and never think about herself.” Inspector Rony said.
“How did you know her?” I asked in chaos
“I lost my wallet somewhere and I had to pay the cab fare. When I didn’t find my wallet in my pocket I became tense. That time she was passing over the road. She saw me and came close. She asked me why I am looking so tense. I told her that I lost my wallet somewhere and I had to pay the cab fare. Without any hesitation, she paid the fare and also gave me some money by saying that I will need it. I asked her name and she told me her name is Samantha. When I heard the news that Samantha met with an accident, I take this case in my hand and I will promise you, Mr. Khanna whoever is behind this, I will not leave him.”
When he said all this I don’t know when an alone tear escaped from my eyes. I nodded my head and after that police went out. When police went outside Mr. Pathak came worriedly
“Did the Police find out about the accident?”
“No, uncle but after discharging Samantha, You both will live with us here and in Mumbai as well.”
“But why? Does something happened?”
“No, everything is fine. Is just that, Samantha is like a sister to us and you know Arav is the one who is close to her. He is more anxious, so we decided that Samantha and you will live with us. When Samantha will be fine you both can go to your house then. Don’t say no, please.”
I requested him. I can’t tell you the right reason behind this but don’t want to lie properly. What I said to him is also a truth. She is our sister and she is our responsibility as well. In starting, Uncle didn’t agree but for the sake of his daughter, he got to agree. I called Mom and dad to inform him everything and I told mom to arrange two rooms for Samantha and Uncle. Dad said what I did was right and mom is happy that Samantha is fine now. I can’t tell mom about what the inspectors said to me. I will discuss it with Dad and Arav when we reach home.
When I disconnected the call, Doctor came and said that she will get discharged tomorrow and we can take her home hereafter. Arav also came by then
“Arav did you find anything?”
“I called the bank manager, he said this account was opened by Liza.”
“I knew it. She is a bitch. I told you thousands of times to not trust her.”
“I don’t know why she did that. We gave her a good salary. Then why she did do that?”
“She will give us the answers tomorrow. Samantha will get discharged tomorrow. After dropping her home we will go to the office and talk with her face to face.”
“Samantha will live with us?” Arav asked
“Yes, the inspector said that it was not a normal accident but a planned accident which means someone wants her dead. But who, no one knows.”
“But why someone wants her dead? She never did wrong to anyone. Hell, she never thinks inadequately of anyone. She is a purest heart.” Arav said and he started to cry. I can understand his feelings.
“I promise you Arav, I will find out who was behind this. For now, we have to go and support Mr. Pathak he will be sole there.” I said and he nodded his head. We both go and told Uncle that for now, he has to take some rest. I said to Arav to take him home and I will take care of her here.
When both went out, I sit outside the room of Samantha and took out my phone. Just then I heard an extremely familiar voice, and when I saw where the voice is coming from. I saw her. That Mall girl.
