The true story of a maid.

Hello my friends. This story is the second part of the previous story that you may have read in my previous post i.e. How I become a Detective. Do read it if you had not done it earlier and tell me through comments about it.

          I was lying on the floor of that old house. I woke up in the morning and there was a smile on my face. I had solved a big mystery of a kidnap. I got up and went toward the window. I could see the morning sun coming out of woods and was rising from the back of the long distant mountains. This was the most amazing view of the nature that I was taking after a long time. I waited for some time so that I can watch that mind blowing sunrise.

          I entered the big hall of the house and called Riya to come out of her room. She did not come out of her room and asked to wait for some more time. I got to her room and saw that she was still sleeping on her bed. I said her to wake up and took the blanket away from her. She woke up in some time and then we got out of the farm house and walked quickly toward to the home.

          We got into the home and I asked my brother and my sister-in-law to come out of there room. They came out. They asked me to tell them about what had happened. I gave them a smile and asked Riya to come inside from the door. None of them can believe what they were seeing. But they try to feel this moment, no matter it might be untrue. My brother was stood in front of me did not show any expression and tears were felling down from his eyes. I had not seen him crying him that much ever since I have had gained my full consciousness.

          Both of them stood at their place fixed for some time. Then my brother came forward to hug her daughter. He moved slowly as he thought that it is a dream and if he moves fast then this dream will be shattered and he will not be able to hug her daughter again. As he reached her he began to cry again. Her wife was still on her place and was seeing it from a distance as what was going on. She broke this deadly silence.

“Who is she?”

“Can’t you see? She is Riya.”

“No, it can’t be. She is dead. Don’t play with us Ranvir. If this is a joke tell us. We will not be able to take that anymore.”

“I am not joking. She is Riya. She was kidnapped by some people. I had found her.”

She did not seem to be satisfied but she started to move toward her and as she moved toward her, her speed was increasing slowly. She reached her and took her into her arms she will never leave her now. I was standing in the corner of the hall and looking toward this boring family drama. The seen did not to be changed for 30 minutes, then I thought that something must be done so that they start something else.

I was still thinking as I heard something. This was my brother’s voice.

“Where were you until now?”

“She was in our farm house.”

“What was she doing there and who had kept her there?”

“This can only be revealed by only one person.”

“Who is this one person?”

“Father I am feeling hungry.” Riya spoke up before I could say anything to my brother.

“Okay my child, let’s go. We will talk later about this.” He saw me and went toward the kitchen with Riya. I was left with my sister-in-law in the hall she approached me and holds my hand and said, 

“Thank you very much, thanks you.”

“No, no, no it was my duty. I had only done that thing that I had to.” She saw me with her wet eyes and followed her husband to the kitchen.

          I turned back to go to my room but was stopped by ring on the landline in the hall. I went to the phone and picked it with my left hand. There was an apple in my right hand, I took a bite.

“Hello, who is this?” I asked on the phone with fruit in my mouth.

“Hello, I am from community hospital, I have called to inform you that the patient who was in comma had regained her consciousness, you can come and get her. Thank you and have a good day.” She said and hanged up the phone. In a single line she said all the things that were required to tell. The apple fell off from my hand.   

          So many things came to my mind. I will do the interrogation this way. I made a full length list about what are the dos and what will be the don’ts of this questioning period. My sister-in-law asked me about whose call was that to which I told her that it was nobody. She said okay at this and continued her work.

          I quickly went to the hospital for this. I took a taxi from the main street to the hospital. There was so much traffic in the streets. It seems that whole of the world wanted that I should not meet her. But I had to prove whole of the world wrong. I paid the fair to the cab driver and got out from it and started running toward the hospital.

I looked toward my watch. I made the calculations. Hospital was 6 miles from our house and had travelled nearly 4 miles in thirty minutes in the cab. It was 9:30 in the morning when I get out of the cab and after 20 minutes i.e. at 9:50, I was at the gate of the hospital. I don’t know how I reached that quickly but one thing was sure that I was going to know the truth.

          I know where Shashi was so I did not asked the receptionist about her room. I directly went toward her room. Her bed was on the second floor of the hospital so I waited for the lift for a minute but this single minute felt to me like years. I said to myself, Ranvir you could not wait for this much long, take the stairs. I listened to the voice and took the stairs.

          I reached the emergency room of the hospital. I got inside and found nobody there. I tried to find her in the some other rooms but was not able to find her. So, at last I had to ask the receptionist about her. I took the lift to come down. I reached the ground floor and walked toward the front office of the hospital.

As I reached the desk the receptionist asked me

“Good morning sir, how can I help you?”

“Good morning, can you tell me about a patient who was in comma.” I asked her.

“Can you tell me the name of the patient, please?” she asked softly.

“Oh yes, her name is Shashi. She was in the emergency ward, some days back.” I said and waited for answer.

“Okay sir, wait for some time let me check.” She said and started checking some of the registers.

“Yes, here is she. She is in room number 58 at second floor of the hospital. She was moved this morning only.

“Thank you very much for your help” I said and again started my journey toward the second floor. This is ridiculous, no matter how much you try to be quick but you will never succeed in it. You will meet with a problem that will not let you complete the task and in my case it was the movement of Shashi from one room to other.

          I reached room number 58 as I was thinking this. I tried to open the door but I saw some policemen standing at the door of the room. So I turned my way toward other side. I waited for ten minutes and after that they were gone. I got inside and found Shashi to be full conscious and lying on the bed and looking good.

“You are looking good.” I said to her

“Thank you, sir” she said

“I want to give a surprise.” I said with a smile on my face.

“What is it, sir?” She said. “Please tell me.”

“This morning I went to our farm house.” I said and on hearing that all the smiles on her 

face lost and it turned to sorrow. It seems that she was begging. “What happened to you, are you okay.”

“Please sir, don’t tell this to anyone. Else I will be in great danger.” She pleaded.

“If you tell me the truth then I will think.” I took a chair and sat on it. “Began it we don’t have the whole day.”

          All of this started when my husband had taken a loan from a well-known criminal of the city. He was not able to repay the loan. One day his goons came to the house when my husband was not at the home. He asked for him and when I told them that he is not there then they took a picture of me and went away.

          At that moment I was not able to understand what was going on. But after some days they again came back with their boss. This time again, my husband was not at home. He came in alone and asked the others to stay out of the home. He told me about the loan that my husband had taken from him. He told me that my husband had said that he had lost the whole money in casino.

He said, “If he doesn’t pay me back then he will be killed.”

“Please don’t do that. You can do something. We will pay you. Just give us some time.” I said

“No, no, no time is over.”

“Please.” I said and bend down to his knees.

“No, no, no don’t do that. Okay I give you a chance to save your husband. Just come with me to my home today and your husband will be free. It’s a fair deal.” He said and waited for my reaction.

          I thought for some time. I know what he meant with ‘come with me to my home’. I said yes to him. He asked me to come and asked me to enter the car. I did whatever he asked me to that whole night. He did it many times with me. I thought, thank god at-least my husband will be saved now.

          Next day in the morning I went back to my home without talking to anyone. I told that there was a party at your house so I slept there only. I thought that everything was over now, but to my surprise it was just started. Next day in the evening he came again to my house and saw me a video in which I was having sex with him. He had made a video of all that and he said that if I don’t do whatever they wanted they are going to put this video on the internet.

          So they told me about their plan to kidnap Riya and earn a large amount of money from your brother. They told me to sleep with the guard. They told me to sleep with the cab driver. One day my husband saw me with cab driver. They provided me with the fake body and they arranged everything for the kidnap but I turned at the last moment. They had asked to bring Riya at his place but instead I took her to the farm house.

          They had planned to kill me after their work was over so one of them came to the home on the birthday night and put some oily material under my shoes and another on the stairs of the house. These two materials when come into contact they become very oily and anyone can slip over it.

          I do wore the shoes but god saved me that is why although of falling from this much height I am still alive and I feel I am doing pretty well. But they did not know where Riya was so no call of kidnap came to you this long. I locked her at the farm house and asked her that I will come every day to meet her but when I did not came for two or three days she may had tried to contact you.

“So, why was the police here.” I asked her

“It was asking me about the incident of my falling.” She said

“And what did you said?” I asked her.

“I told them that it was an accident.”
