“What’s going on here?” Roy shouted at the press crowd gathered in the murder spot. Within a second they rounded up Roy with series of questions. Roy irritably moved them and went near the dead body.
“Raj! What’s happening man? Did you get any clue?” Roy asked in worried tone. “As usual sir no evidences. But this time the murderer left us some clue” Raj was curious to show that.
“What Raj?” Roy moved to see that clue. “See his right hand sir” said this Raj asked the forensic people to blow torch on his hand. Roy saw it and became totally confused.
Because the letter ‘M’ was marked in his right hand. Roy looked at that a few minutes and said “It may be done by some sharp objects like knife” Roy muttered to himself.
“Okay then clear the place and remove the body” Roy ordered the officers and stood in a corner. Megha watched exhausted Roy silently and said “just wait four more days Roy” with a mystery smile in her face.
Roy sat in his office thinking of this three murders. These three murders didn’t had any connections. But his heart said “No Roy there is some connection between these three murders? Try to find the point connected. Come on Roy you can!”
While he lost in his thoughts, Raj came with knocking the door. “Come Raj! How did it went?” Roy asked eagerly. Roy send Raj to investigate in Ahmed’s house and office.
“Good morning sir! I went to both his house and office sir. Details they gave are quite contrast sir” Raj said with a sigh. Roy just signaled him to continue.
“Ahmed family simply said he is a good boy and never indulge in worst things. He was calm and silent when he was in the house. Even he don’t go to the office party’s” Raj here stopped and gave a pause.
Then continued “But… His office mates and colleagues call him a “party maniac”. As per their witnesses, Ahmed is a jolly person and socially moving. And while searching his room too we got nothing useful sir” Raj told each and every thing he collected from this morning.
Raj was totally confused but Roy was deeply thinking something. After few seconds, Roy said “Raj I need the phone call list of last two three months of the three dead”. Raj said “okay sir!” without asking anything.
When Raj went to fetch details of Ahmed, Roy went in search of Madan’s house. As such other cases, he hasn’t got any useful things in Madan’s case too. But some things wasn’t matched the details he got in his house and his office.
“Oh! My gosh. What’s happening over here. There is no bad remark about them. But their nature changes in these two places. If there is any connection between them means, we can get something useful.
And what about the symbol ‘M’. Either it denotes Madan or any other name. If it is other means what is M?..” Roy’s brain pointed out the things one by one.
At that time he had a call from Stan. “Yeah! Stan” Roy’s voice was very low. “Hey Roy! Why your voice is so dull? Is there any problem?” Stan asked in a worried tone.
Roy took the privilege to share his mind to Stan “You know that Stan. It’s all because of this case. It made me have a headache man. The press and higher officers, everyone wants me to show them the murderer. Do you know how it makes me stress a lot?”.
“Roy! What’s this dude. Don’t stress much. You’ll do everything correctly. I believe you. Just take a deep breath and calm yourself man. You can do anything in this world” Stan gave Roy motivational words.
Roy smiled soulfully for his friend’s words. “Stan you always push me forward man!” Roy said it with a smile. “Are you okay now Roy? I think this third murder is the last one. So don’t worry man!” Stan said again to confirm Roy get a clear mind.
“Ofcourse Stan! I’m good enough now. And it’s all because of you Stan. You’re a great friend man!” Roy said heartily. Stan smiled and greeted him bye.
“But I think this is not the last one Stan! My heart says so” Roy told to himself. Meanwhile Megha roared in the air….
“They don’t deserve to live!
They don’t deserve to live!” and got ready to move for the next one.
The snow of that winter night started its move in the sky. It was a guest house in city’s outer. “Varun! I’m done man. So here I take leave. Don’t drink too much dude!” blabbered a man and went with staggering.
“Hmm… mmm” stammered varun and took another bottle of wine to drink. His mind ran through various issues but his mouth took an another sip from the bottle.
The house looked pretty mysterious in the dark. The cold breeze waved sweet fragrance of lilies and lavender.
Varun’s though drank fully, he haven’t lost his senses. But he didn’t felt the fragrance aroused around him as he was lost in his thoughts. He concentrated in taking his sips. He slowly realised his throat sore.
A strong pain aroused inside his body. Then he felt a small pain in his legs like an ant bite. And he tried to move but he wasn’t able to stand but still he was in his senses. “Aaaah…” His pain made him cry. Megha now showed herself before him.
“Please help me! Please! I feel like dying. Please save me! Take me to the hospital” Varun pleaded Megha without knowing who she was.
“Beg! Beg more!” Megha exploded. Varun was shocked to see the figure stand before him. “Y… You” varun swallow his saliva out of fear not even tried to say her name.
“Mmm.. It’s me! And you are going to die now!” Megha’s words send shock waves inside his body. “Please! Please. Don’t do this to me” cried varun.
Megha showed a scornful smile and screamed “Hmm… Mmm! It’s not enough! Beg more”. Varun pleaded and cried as much as he was able to do.
Megha relished varun’s pleading with her eyes closed. Slowly varun’s pleading faded. Blood rushed from his mouth and nose. He started to cough and split much blood. His body started trembling.
The Sun raised to show that day brisky. Varun’s soul existed out of his body stopping his body’s tremble. Megha too happily moved away.
