morning news bulletin broke their attention. both of them gazed at the tv screen on the wall. an injured culprit was arrested and one girl along with another were found dead. prasad stared at the photo of the injured boy on the screen. he was one of amir’s friend. they looked at each other. the news anchor further added name of amir as culprit as testified by the injured boy. prasad worryingly and hurriedly dialled amir’s number on his phone.
“he is not answering.” prasad said with heavy voice as if he agreed the anchor. his son had molested his daughter.
“he must have his phone on silent mode. someone is clearly trying to frame him.” rosie replied an unasked question. but prasad knew better. a boy who had tried to kill his own father was capable of anything. he carried away in the thoughts, collapsing into darkness. suddenly his phone rang. unknow number! prasad answered the call.
“you must be wondering how could amir do such a heinous act. maybe there is still part of you which doesn’t believe amir could do such a thing. you must be wondering who is the actual culprit. so, i am gonna give you a hint. vishal, amir’s friend, who was found injured was injected with ricin, same ricin that came from rosie’s laboratory at her home. i am not gonna say that amir is innocent. in fact, he is the farthest person from being innocent. just dig in and you will know how deep this goes. i am providing proofs to police soon. good luck.” a girl spoke in the phone.
“moonlight?” gasped prasad. the girl had hung up the phone. he just had a hunch that she was moonlight. she knew a lot of things about him and his family though he wasn’t sure. prasad looked intensely at rosie with suspicion growing inside him.
“aren’t you little worried that you have left aarifa with amir?” prasad asked reading every possible expression on rosie’s face. he had seen the lab and rosie once told him about ricin and how she was working on a medicine to cure cancer. once drunk he even told her about mary’s past.
“i don’t think amir could do that. he is a good kid. i have watched him grow.” replied rosie. prasad’s doubts found stronger roots. but why would rosie want him dead? was he just overthinking...
