Chapter 24: The Real Punishment.

Night: Mr. AANAND's House -

In CID SUV, ABHIJEET at driver's seat and TARIKA next to him were monitoring the hidden camera's outside of Mr. AANAND's house in their tab waiting for the crook to come and catch him red handed.

The clock ticked to its pace as the two waited and waited...

After almost for 2 and half hours past 12 o'clock, they noticed a figure clad in black same as the crook guy was approaching towards Mr. AANAND's house from backside.

ABHIJEET and TARIKA got alert and put on the Bluetooth connected to each other. The two quickly got the down the vehicle, splitting in two direction both ran towards the backside of the house ABHIJEET from outside the boundary wall while TARIKA from inside the gate of the house.

ABHIJEET saw the crook guy at the first try climbed up the 6 feet long boundary wall as he shouted at the guy: Hey! Stop there.'

The guy looked him and jumped inside.

ABHIJEET tried to climb the wall and made it at the third attempt when TARIKA arrived there asking him: Where he is?'

ABHIJEET up from the wall showed the other way and TARIKA ran at the direction.

TARIKA come at the front gate and saw the gate was close as she left after entering the yard and the guy was nowhere.

TARIKA asked: Where did he go?'

ABHIJEET came running from the other side and said panting: He is a great athlete. Probably he jumped off the wall.'

They looked at each other and again ran out of the gate in two directions around the house.

While running ABHIJEET stopped seeing some movements near their SUV and ran there.

The crook guy who was near the SUV saw ABHIJEET and tried to run but ABHIJEET was quick to get him.

ABHIJEET tried to unmask him and the crook tried to escape from him clutches. ABHIJEET succeeds pulling the mask off his face but in that process the knife in crook hand's brushes against ABHIJEET's hand and ABHIJEET fails to see his face as the crook runs dropping the dagger.

Other side TARIKA goes around the house and sees no one neither the crook nor ABHIJEET and again comes in front of the house to witness the scene between ABHIJEET and the crook.

She runs towards their direction and ABHIJEET looking at the shallow cut on his hand again runs after the crook. ABHIJEET almost catches up with the crook and get hold of his hood making the crook stumble and fall on knees with ABHIJEET's tight grip on his hood.

ABHIJEET was shocked to see the face of the person. He was the same mysterious kid of college always found near his punctured car.

ABHIJEET remembers SHREYA's words about puncturing the wheels of car and every time he found his car punctured having the boy nearby it always sitting up on a high places like the boundary walls or fences and just freezes to his place. The boy runs away taking the advantage of ABHIJEET's moment.

TARIKA runs after him but stops in mid to walk back to ABHIJEET who was still to his place and asked: Why did you let him go?'

ABHIJEET: I know him.'

TARIKA: What?'

ABHIJEET: Don't worry. We will get him tomorrow.'

TARIKA looking at the cut on his hand asked: Are you all right?'

ABHIJEET just nodded.

TARIKA gave her hand to him: You are in bit shock. Get up.'

ABHIJEET after a second held her hand getting up and TARIKA lead him towards the SUV.

TARIKA bring the first aid kit from the SUV and asked him to sit.

ABHIJEET sits on the bonnet of the SUV and she cleans his wound and dresses it asking: Who was he?'

ABHIJEET tells her everything: I don't know why but every time I see him I feel a concern towards him.'

TARIKA: You are also his target that means he resents you too for some reason.'

ABHIJEET agreed with her: Yeah, whenever I talked to him there was coldness in his eyes.'

ABHIJEET emphasized: Colder than yours.'

TARIKA got offended as she eyed him: What do you mean..?'

ABHIJEET fumbled: It's very late. We should go home now.'

TARIKA: He punctured our SUV so that we can't follow him.'

ABHIJEET: WHAT?'

He looked down at the wheel to see it flat with an unbelievable expression: That little kid!'

Next Morning: CID Bureau -

ABHIJEET entered the bureau asking NIKHIL: NIKHIL, did you find out the information of the student I asked you?'

NIKHIL: Yes sir. The student name is VIDIT SHARMA.'

TARIKA who was already there reading a file hands it to ABHIJEET saying: The case is something more than we had expected. We got his address.'

ABHIJEET: Then let s go.'

VIDIT s HOUSE:

ABHIJEET rings the door bell and a mid age lady opened the door. ABHIRIKA showed their ID card and asked for VIDIT.

The lady got fazed and angrily yelled: Now what do you want from my son? My husband wasn't enough that you came after my son? Just leave from here.'

ABHIJEET and TARIKA looked at each other shocked. The lady was about to shut the door but stopped listening to ABHIJEET: Ma'm if you won't help your son than he could be in big problem.'

The lady opened the half closed door looking at the two: What do you mean my son will be in problem?'

ABHIJEET tells her the whole story and the lady in tears said: My son is not a criminal. Please help him. He is my only son.'

Inside the house the lady tell them the story...

4 years ago her husband used to work in Mr. AANAND s office and was framed in fraudulent case. Despite of being innocent he was sentenced for 7 years. From last 1 month he stopped visiting his family in jail and two days before he killed himself.

VIDIT loved his father more than anything and he believes all this happened because of Mr. AANAND who wrongly framed his father and CID who couldn't do their job properly sending an innocent in jail.

The lady begged to the two officers: VIDIT is not in his right mind. He has become furious after his father s death. He even didn't come home from last night. I am afraid he will do something. Please save him.'

ABHIRIKA looked at each other having a flashback of last night, VIDIT who did harmless damages had a knife with him.

ABHIRIKA together: He wants to kill Mr. AANAND.'

The lady: What?'

ABHIJEET to the lady: Don t worry! We won t let him do anything wrong.'

And the two ran out towards the SUV.

ABHIJEET got a call on the way and picked it up as TARIKA took the drivers seat driving towards AANAND's house.

ABHIJEET on phone: Hello.'

Person: Sir, he didn't come college today.'

ABHIJEET: Are you sure?'

Person: Yes sir, I am standing at the college gate from the morning. He didn't come.'

ABHIJEET: Ok.'

ABHIJEET cuts the call informing TARIKA: VIDIT is not in college.'

TARIKA: He will again try to kill Mr. AANAND.'

ABHIJEET calls Mr. AANAND but he wasn't picking up.

ABHIJEET frustratingly: He is not picking up.'

TARIKa speeds up the SUV.

Mr. AANAND House:

The door was close from inside and Mr. AANAND was sweating in fear in front of VIDIT wielding a gun at him.

Suddenly both of them jumped at the barge of the door hearing ABHIJEET's voice to open the door.

Mr. AANAND felt relieved but not for long seeing the smirk on VIDIT s face as he said: The gun is in my hand and CID is outside. If I have to go jail, I will go gladly but after killing you.

ABHIJEET banging the door shouted: VIDIT, I know you are there. Please don t do anything stupid!'

Meanwhile TARIKA unlock the door with the master Keys of the house they had asked Mr. AANAND a day before the stakeout in case they need it.

They rushed in the room to see AANAND at VIDIT's gun point as VIDIT stop them near the door only warning: Don't dare to come near otherwise I will shoot him.'

AANAND requested ABHIJEET: Officer please save me.'

ABHIJEET: VIDIT, listen to me.'

VIDIT: Just like my father trusted you and died?'

ABHIJEET: What?'

VIDIT: Mr. SUBHASH SHARMA was my father whom you arrested from SINGHANIYA enterprises 4 years ago. How could you forget it so easily?'

ABHIJEET confused: I arrested your father?

VIDIT: Yes, you were the one who arrested him. You must not remember my father but I couldn't forget your face all this years.'

ABHIJEET got a shock listening to that remembering his each encounter with VIDIT at college. There was a deep down pain in those mysterious cold eyes of the boy whenever he looked in them.

VIDIT continued: Every time I met my father in jail he told me that he didn t do anything wrong for me to be shameful.'

VIDIT looking at ABHIJEET said: He was innocent and he believed that CID will find the truth eventually. He trusted in you till the last but you just believed the paper evidences not the truth of the human who devoted his whole life to this evil person's company. And this man made him the scapegoat of all his dirty bussiness. My father didn't kill himself.'

VIDIT showing AANAND said: This guy killed him.'

VIDIT turning at ABHIJEET said: And you are an equal murderer of my father.'

The words come like a knife stabbing ABHIJEET's heart as he felt it hard to breath. The guilt took over him hearing the boy's words that had pain and agony and he felt relentless with his legs growing weak.

TARIKA looked at ABHIJEET who was taken aback at the accusation of the boy and tried to control the situation: VIDIT, we will find the truth and we will clear your father's name.'

VIDIT: It s too late to do that. Today, this person will die here.'

TARIKA: Please don't do anything that can ruin your future.'

VIDIT doesn't listened to her focusing the gun at AANAND.

AANAND begged him: I will confess my crime. Please don t kill me.'

VIDIT cried: Will that bring my father back? Tell me then I will spare you?'

VIDIT shouted: Can you bring my father back?'

Tear went down ABHIJEET's eyes as he looked at VIDIT asking those words.

VIDIT said to AANAND: You can't! You can't bring him back to me. So die.

TARIKA: VIDIT, don't!'

VIDIT: Even if I have to die, I will after killing him.'

VIDIT tightened his grip on the gun to press the trigger and heard TARIKA saying: Will you let him die that easily?'

VIDIT looked at TARIKA.

TARIKA: Your father suffered for 4 years. And killing him at once won t be an easy death for him without any suffering?'

ABHIJEET and AANAND looked shocked at TARIKA.

VIDIT asked TARIKA: What you have done if you were in my place?'

TARIKA: We are smart VIDIT but the people before us were considerate. They made the Law and decided the Punishments having some thought behind it. Death, killing someone out of revenge is a very easy punishment. Let him rot for his whole life living in loneliness, doing nothing between the four closed walls regretting each minute of his life in prison in an undying suffering. That would be real a punishment for him.'

A lone tear went down VIDIT's eyes as he downed the gun and said: I want to trust you… but you are talking like a cop. And I don't trust cops.'

VIDIT pointed the gun at AANAND and pulled the trigger but TARIKA was quick to pull out her gun and shot at AANAND's leg.

AANAND bend down holding his leg and VIDIT's bullet missed AANAND going straight to the wall behind him, giving ABHIJEET the chance to snatch the gun from VIDIT.

All three looked shocked at TARIKA as Mr. AANAND asked her: Why did you shot me?'

TARIKA in her usual self tucked the gun back taking out the handcuff and answered cuffing him: You are the criminal here. And if I hadn't shot you then the other bullet would have passed through your heart. Anyways you will live and live in jail. So, it doesn't matters.'

ABHIJEET and Mr. AANAND looked shocked at the brazen cop and VIDIT without any struggle just slumped down to the floor breaking down.

They heard the siren of police vehicles that the officers informed on their way to Mr. AANAND's house.

The police arrested Mr. AANAND for the fraud he caused 4 years ago and responsible for the death of an innocent employee of his office.

When police was taking VIDIT with them, TARIKA looked around for ABHIJEET but he wasn't there.

So, she approached VIDIT and said to him: We are sorry we couldn't save your father but we will clear his name from all the false accusations. And we will also try to resolve your case quickly to let you free.'

VIDIT bowed his head a little and said: I don't trust cops but I trust your words. Thank you for stopping me there otherwise after killing him I would have regretted all my life for giving him such an easy death.'

Police took VIDIT and TARIKA went around to look for ABHIJEET.
