Soon the 24 hours will pass ... Jyothi is still missing... After coming back home last night from police station...I cried ... Every nagative thought are clouding my mind ... I don't want to think ...but...My Jyothi.....
I took leave from school today ... Didn't go to teach ... Staying home just in case ...got information about Jyothi through police... I even visited police station this morning... they are still finding Jyothi ..and that rikshaw which took Jyothi away .... I was trying to keep myself busy so negative things Don't cloud my mind ...I was keeping myself steady....Until my whole world shattered....
I was making maggi to eat after starving myself for the whole day .. thinking of Jyothi .... I was meddle of eating when I got call ...
Police officer

Agni shekhawat
Hospital...Sir..Jyothi...she is alright...right ..( holds phone tightly)
Police officer

Agni shekhawat
Ye..yes...sir...
In 15 minutes...I stepped down from rikshaw and paid for my traveling bill and ran inside ..while rikshaw driver shouts to give me change...
As soon as I stepped in ... Many police officers were there ... My heart was racing..with anxiety.
Then I saw him ... Aviraj Sir ... Who just stepped out of the elevator and our eyes met...he walked to me .
Agni shekhawat

Aviraj Rawat

He started to walk back to the elevator and I followed him.
Agni shekhawat
Sir...My sister ... Where ..is she ..
I don't why...but my voice died down in my throat... The way he looked at me ... Is he...is he piting me .
Aviraj Rawat
Come... ( Steps out of the elevator)
I just followed him , my heart pounding in my chest a weird type of fear and anxiety taking over me and his silence is doing no good .
He opened the ICU room door and I followed inside cleching my side bag making it my anchor.
A person lays on bed many wires joined to the body along with an oxygen mask ,whole face tied with white bandage.
Agni shekhawat
W .why...You brought me here ... ( look at Aviraj)
Aviraj Rawat
'You called her to recognise the victim'
His words sent chill in my body , I again turn my eyes on girl laying like a lifeless body , I can't recognise or I don't want to ... In fear what if ....what if ...my body trembles slightly with fear .
Agni shekhawat
I...I can't
My own voice came out like lower whisper , I again look at him
Aviraj Rawat
We got a few things .. I hope it helps
The whole time his voice was neutral but then there was slight pain which he hid .
After a few seconds another police officer brought a ziplock bag which contained a few things ... Sir Aviraj' took it from the person and showed it to me .
My eye swere already on the things ... A single earring ... A hair ribbon white in colour having blood stains and a steel bracelet also blood stain ...
Agni shekhawat
( Holds a ziplock bag with trembling hands)
I hold it properly and turn 'kada' finding...
He turned 'kada' in a ziplock bag as if to finding something in it...and then her hands stops she stands numb and slowly lifted her head , looked at me with those widen eyes which started to tear, her lips trembles.
there is a name curved on 'kada' along with the birth date ... She whispered read that.
Agni shekhawat
J...Jyothi... 5.10.2010
She looked at her sister now laying in front of her and slwoly walked to her and holds her bandages hand and starts to cry , she sits on floor holding her sisters hand .
Agni shekhawat
( Crying loudly shaking like sitting in cold floor )
Agni shekhawat
Jy...jyothi... Baache...w .what happened...pls... Please.. open your eyes ...( Wept holding Jyothi's hand )
Her loud sobs were filled with pain and agony , tears spilling down her eyes like a river dripping down her chin .
Her cries echo through the whole room , Aviraj along with a few officers and the nurse watches the scene with tears in eyes ... Aviraj steps out of the room and signals everyone to leave he alone.
A hour passed then two , her voice died down her throat but tears didn't stop , she still sits on the same place shoulder shaking slightly tears still sliding down cheeks eyes .
After three hours Doctors step in
Doctor

Doctor said in low tone but she sits still head resting against bed sobs still echoes in room with rhythm .
two nurses comes to her side and taps her shoulder
Agni shekhawat
( Slowly lift head eyes red and puffy filled with pain ) M..my....
Her throat hurts voice stays in , she looks at Jyothi tears burying the sight.
The nurses helps her to stand about to take her out of ICU .
Agni shekhawat

" Ma'am Doctor have to check on patient... please wait outside " said the nurse but she was not ready to keep Jyothi outvif sight .... Not again ..but she have to get out of ICU so the doctor dies at his work .
Agni sits on a chair outside the ICU room sobbing clenching eyes trying to hold by tears trembling.
Then a hand drew towards her holding a handkerchief.
