To read the first part Twist In The Tale .
Inspector Suraj was reviewing a file when Sheena came to
the police station. Suraj knew Sheena about six months ago. Every month she came to him to claim that her father was
murdered. Suraj liked her straight forwardness and adored her undying love for
her father. He empathize her emotionally. “Hello Sheena, tell me how are
you?” He asked cheerfully. “How can be a daughter whose father was murdered and
his killers are pondering around freely.” Sheena replied sharply. Suraj let out a sigh. “Sheena I told you
hundred times that I can’t arrest anyone without any proof and I can’t even
point anyone. I understand your feelings and I even reviewed your father’s case
file due to your request. Everything points that he died in an accident. That
time the case was given to other officer, so I can’t reopen the case and start
any investigation until I get any approval and for approval I need some strong
proofs. Though I truly want to help you, but my hands are tied by law.”
Sometimes Suraj felt very difficult to make Sheena
understand the situation. Every time Sheena came to him, he had to repeat the
same thing over and over. “I know, what you are trying to imply. But this time
I have proofs. Look at my father’s property paper, all his property is in my
name. I’m an adopted child; you can confirm that from sunshine orphanage. I don’t
have any paper to proof that.” Before Sheena could proceed further, Suraj interrupted
her “Sheena stop it… These proofs are not enough and what are you saying that
has no connection to your father’s murder.” "No, it has a connection inspector. My
mother didn’t love my father and after his death she remarried. She and my step
father murdered him together. I have even recorded their conversation. Here is
the CD.” Sheena extended the CD to Suraj. Sheena was growing impatient and
Suraj noticed that. “I can see this time you came prepared. Submit all the
proofs along with the video CD in my custody and wait for few days. I will
contact you for further progression.” Sheena submitted all the proofs and left from
there. On her way back she grinned, “Finally I got you two.”
Few moments later Suraj called Leela and within third ring
she picked up “She came today, again. Today I had to work harder to calm her.
She came with proofs against you. Can you come now to meet me?” Suraj wiped his
sweats with his handkerchief and wait patiently for Leela’s arrival. Leela and Suraj were college mates. So they
know each other very well.
Leela and Adil took their respective seats in front of Suraj.
“Sheena is an adopted child? What about the property paper, Leela?” Suraj
wanted to sooth his curiosity. “Did you see the CD? What is in there?” Leela
snapped. “Leela first answer my question?” Suraj crossed his arms. “It’s been
two years since the death of her father. She was closed to her father. After the
accident she was in depression but suddenly before seven months she started to
talk to herself, imagined things that don’t exist. Doctor said she is having
visual hallucination. She is imagining things. Do you know now also she calls
to her father’s number and talked to him but her father’s number isn’t active. I’m
scared of sending her to college. She isn’t listening to me and thinking that
we have plotted her father’s death. Now tell me what did you see in the CD?”
Leela was on the verge of crying. “The CD was blank. Nothing was there. I know
about her problem and your situation too. But is she an adopted child?” Leela
chuckled. “No, she is my own child. And her father didn’t have any property. I
don’t know what paper she showed, but Adil made his property in her name. Suraj,
she is imagining things on her own. One thing she is right that I didn’t love
her father but I love her with my heart.” Adil held Leela’s hand and squeeze it
gently. They left that place after their conversation.

“Do you think I have a problem, Dad?” Sheena asked over the
phone. “Not at all… my princess.” A voice said on the other end. “Then why I’m
in a hospital?” Sheena made a pout. “Because I love you.” The voice whispered. “I love you more, Dad” She hung up the phone.
