Chapter 1
It was the most important day of her life ! Naah...the most important day for her father . D.N. Sharma had always dreamed of the day when his daughters would serve the country in one way or the other . However she had always resented this idea . She could never imagine herself doing that. She had seen her father's life . Putting his country before him , Putting the his fellowmen before his family and putting the well being of others before his own happiness . And she hated this. She knew what the daily absence of a father in childhood meant . And she hated that . For once just once She wanted her father to be there for her during her happy days , sad moments...and times when she really needed his advice . And it was not surprising for her that her father had failed her today also , He was not there . He was never there..and she knew..he would never be there . She felt an unexplained hollow feeling in her stomach at the last thought . She gulped down the strong coffee to supress that unknown emotion. This was not new to her. For a time being this was her lifestyle now . Suppressing feelings , hiding fears and avoiding people .
She brushed away her thoughts and gave herself a final look in the mirror . She said to herself in a very low voice " Inspector shreya " . She glanced at her relflection .
Was she happy ? She thought and had the answer ready in seconds . She knew she wasn't...
Was she satisfied ? She thought again and made a mental note to think about this later. Guess she didn't have an positive answer for this too !
Was she ready ? Another question came to her mind . A small smile crept across her face . She knew she was ready .Ready to take this responsibility. She had waited for this day from a long time . At least she had a positive answer for this .
She stopped her trainof thoughts and had a look at the watch . She knew she should be leaving for her duty .
Taking her keys and she had a peek inside her sisters room . The younger one was sleeping peacefully . Without waking her up she carresed her hair and left . She knew they were going to have a long night today...better let her sleep now..she thought . Giving instructions to the two very loyal servants of the house radhabai and dattu she left .
