Crime Catcher and Criminal~
Her glassy eyes!
Agni shekhawat
( stands in police station) Sir...Pls write a report and find my sister..she is missing...( pleads with join hands )
The responsive officer sigh's and look at her with done eyes .
Manoj Tiwari/ Responsing officer
Maam...you have understand...we are also bonded by law's... A missing report will not be write before 24 hours...( says in plain tone)
Agni shekhawat
( bite her inner cheek to suppress her tears and sits inside the bench of police station) I will sit her until you write a report and find my sister . ( sits stubbornly )
The officer sigh's and start to do his work thinking she will leave in sometime on her own .
A Police jeep stands in front of police station and all police officers stands up ... The SP comes out of his office immediately going outside ..and after few minutes..SP walk in with high ranking officer .
The SP takes ACP to his cabin ...as ACP conducts his duty of orbserving the police station's under him...today was the day for Narayan Nagar police station checking.
Agni watches everything, her heart beating fast in fear and anxiety continuously trying to call Jyothi.
Agni still sits there , silent and stubborn to go ...the police station was empty now only police officers and constables remain.
The ACP steps out of SP cabin as his eyes again travel on women who sits silently on bench ...glassy eyes as tears fills them and slight red nose and cheek from crying, her hairs looks quite disbehave tied in loss bried holds her side bag close calling someone again and again .
The ACP stops on his track and so does the SP .
Rudra Jaswant/ SP
What happened sir .!?
Aviraj Rawat
( look at his watch ) It's almost 11 pm at night ..why is that lady still here ?
Rudra Jaswant/ SP
( look at a lady sitting on a corner bench )
Rudra Jaswant/ SP

Manoj Tiwari/ Responsing officer
It's missing case ...but it's not been 24 hours sir...I told her to go home and look around-
Aviraj Rawat
Who is missing...?
Manoj Tiwari/ Responsing officer
Her younger sister... that's what she said ... didn't came back from school ...you know children nowadays sir- ....( stops in track as Aviraj glare at him )
Aviraj Rawat
Write her report.... it's 11 pm and a sister in not home...this is serious...( in cold tone )
Manoj Tiwari/ Responsing officer
Y .Yes .sir... ( gets on his sit and removes book to write report)
I was sitting silently head down... looking at my phone dialling on Jyothi's phone number again and again...but she is not picking up call ...I want to cry ...I heart feels so heavy and my throat dry ... Don't know why I want to cry ...Like am I getting feeling..My Jyothi is somewhere dengerous...
Agni shekhawat
N..No agni ..Think postive.. She will be alright..( whispers to ownself)
I am trying to think positive that everything will be alright... Jyothi will come back to me. Again...but my mind is making me think every negative things...which I don't even want to think.
I was in Strom of my thoughts when a shadow cast over me and I lift my head finally looking up ...a man... dressed in a Navy blue shirt and Khakhi colour pants ... Stands in front of me ..he draws his hand hand holding a handkerchief in front of me .
Agni shekhawat
( meet eyes with him sobbing a little)
Aviraj Rawat
( meets her eyes ) Don't worry ma'am...I apologise for the stupidity of certain officer...It will never happen again...pls come this way so your report can be registered.
He said , his hands still holding a handkerchief towards me...I stood up and removed my own handkerchief.
Agni shekhawat
Th...Thank you very much sir ...( clean tears )
He withdraws his hand back keeping his handkerchief back in his pocket and lead me ...I followed him ...and sits on chair in front officer who is sweating and trying to stay composed...while HE sits beside me taking chair...I don't know who is HE...but must be some high ranking officer.
Agni shekhawat

She was trying her best not to burst out crying her tone have gone heavy , she had silently cried ... When she start to tell whole thing ...I was listening to her everything... She care for her sister very much it can be seen.
Aviraj Rawat
What about parents...are they in village or something..
I asked when she was done telling everything, She looked at me with those glassy eyes her eye lashes wet from tears and her cheeks slight crimson , trembling lips and fingers... She sits stiff the whole time .
Agni shekhawat

She sobs softly inbetween... She is not sister ... that's mother who sits here ... she have lost her parents...and her younger sister her only family... understandable why she is soo desperate... Well anyone will be in thai situation.
Aviraj Rawat

She stands outside the gate of the police station.. looking for a rickshaw... It's late at night and she wants to travel alone ...should I ask ...to drop her ...it will be awkward...
