....Around after some years, the day arrived to which everyone was waiting, that's Ranjek 's 4 th birthday.. It was much special because Ranjek's birthday date is 4 th of April..
So they all were excited... But that day one important meeting was there & Sijita couldn't ignore it..
" Don't worry! We will definitely wait for you... ..By the way, it will surely take a lot a hours to welcome guests... After 2-3 hours, you can come... & then we will have Havan ( fire ritual performed by Hindus) & then celebrate the birthday. " Manek said to Sijita to reduce her stress.
Sijita was dressed in brown coat & was ready to leave for meeting. She then hugged Manek & said "don't worry, I will return quickly & if I don't come early, don't wait for me... Make his birthday special. "
She gently kissed Manek's cheeks & forehead & then left for meeting.
After 5 minutes, Manek also left for Mandir with Ranjek & Rani Ama.
With them Rounak, Harisha & Rousha also left for Mandir. They are one of the special family coming to Mandir as Rousha was the best friend of Ranjek.

4 hours has been passed, but there was no sign of Sijita & neither she nor her assistant was picking up the call. So Manek did the havan alone & also cut the cake without Sijita..
By that time, there was also no sign of Rounak, but Harisha was so tensed such as her husband has gone to do any war..
After 2 hours when assistant of Sijita informed Manek that ma'am hasn't come to office ( because meeting held online) , then Manek got really tensed but when he reached home it showed something different.

The door was opened, the bike was parked in its place ( which showed that Sijita had came back after being informed of online meeting) , laptop is left opened ( it displayed " meeting is over" ) which also showed that Sijita had already attended online meet.
But why the rest of the house is in a mess? & the most shocking part is there was blood near the wall where key stand is there.

By seeing all these, Manek's eyes were filled with tears. He then accidentally heard the voice of Rounak near his house.. First he doubted his voice & when he overheard him, he was shocked to hear..
Rounak was speaking someone on phone & saying that, " You have taken Sijita to the old building? Thanks God... I was really scared to think of any place to sent her"
When Manek overheard all these stuffs, he quickly hold Rounak's collar & asked, " Where.... is..... my.... wife? How dare you to touch her? "

Before Rounak could say anything, Harisha enter the graveyard & said, " Manek .. I just saw some brown clothing in blood... at the old building.... Was it Siji..." she told in fear & that displyed more fear of being accused than of worrying about Sijita.

By hearing only the half name, Manek ran to old building & saw the exact brown coat covered totally in blood ..

When the police reached there, they reported : " Mr. Manek.. Your wife has been brutally raped & is missing.. We tried our level best but couldn't find her, Sorry... " .

By that time, Manek's condition was horrible .... His teary eyes have turned red .... then he just stand & said to police in anger.. " This person had done it... arrest him " he pointed towards Rounak..
but the corps told him that he didn't have any proof of it ..

After some minutes, Rounak dared to talk to Manek.. " Bro... I haven't done it ( sobbing) ... believe me.... Why would I do that to Sijita? She was .... was like my sister "Rounak told by putting his hand on Manek's shoulder to console him..
But Manek said in extreme anger, " Then why would you take her..... her to that building? .... tell me.... "

This is how Ranjek 4 th birthday went....
Again when after 5 months Manek saw Rounak, he said him bastard...


BUT to whom was Rounak was talking on phone that day ...
& if not Rounak & then who have done such act with Sijita...



to know more, wait for the 4 th part.
