Chapter 10
A couple of hours earlier
Meera
was at Leela’s house after they got the news of Dr. Ravi’s death. Leela was in
a shock and sitting unmoved in the swing at the garden. Meera prepared some tea and then went to the garden to guide Leela get back home. After
taking couple of steps, Leela halted all of a sudden while Meera startled as she noticed a
vicious rattle snake crawling near the doorstep. But she did not utter a
word as she sensed something suspicious after seeing her immediate change of expression.
Leela refrained from walking as if she saw it coming all the way towards her.
Pretending
she did not see the snake, ‘What happened, Leela?’ Meera asked in a comforting
tone.
‘Uh
nothing.. Just a slight head swing...’
‘Come,
let’s go in and have some tea. You’ll feel better’.
But
Leela dared to make a move. The snake then crawled back on its way into the
bushes, thus relieving them both. Even though she was not so sure, that
particular incident left her to suspect on Leela’s eye sight.
After
few minutes, she received a call. She then turned to Leela, ‘I’m sorry I have to go now. I have
something urgent to attend.’
Leela
nodded silently. Meera then walked back to her house and started packing her
things. She was getting ready to leave the town. That’s when she heard a
screeching sound of a vehicle halting in front of her house. She was stunned as
the police officers barged in with an arrest warrant for her.
Back at the interrogation
room
‘Do
you really want me to believe your story?’ Jennifer asked after listening to
Meera.
‘Believe
it or not, that’s the truth.’ she then said to Jennifer, ‘I can prove it. After
all I have no motive in this case. Can’t you just see? Give me a chance.’
Jennifer
was not happy with this encounter while she was holding perfect allegations
against Meera and so she remained determined not to accept this story. She
could clearly see that she was trying to divert her.
‘No.
I can’t let you walk out of this room that easily.’
Meera
then stubbornly said, ‘Okay.. Then I need to talk to my lawyer.’
Jennifer
gave a long stare at her and then finally uttered, ‘Alright, come with me.’
She
then handcuffed Meera and decided to take her alone while leaving her subordinates
behind in the station and instructed Officer Sharma to make some arrangements when they return. Ayesha walked to her friend and held her hands and
assured her. ‘This is just a usual procedure. I will take care of it. Don’t
worry. I trust you.’ Meera gazed at Ayesha thoughtfully and nodded.
cool!!!! i hope meera can prove her innocence and yeaa leela am suspicious!
