Crime Catcher and Criminal~
Gold earrings
Her fingers tremble , she rest her hand on my hand her head bowed lower her shoulder shakes as he cries .
Eyes red and puffy ,tears sliding down her cheeks and sobbing violently , her agony fills the empty corridor.
Agni shekhawat
Si..sir...hic ..Why...jy...Jyothi ..why...hic.. sir...
She chokes on her sobs barely words escaping her trembling lips .
She holds my hand as if..... Finding me as an anchor .
I have seen this many times in my 7 years of career , people breaking down losing their loved ones , it's not new to me , Yes it hurts when I see myself failing to protect , I have taken vow to protect it is my duty and failing is part of it , we are police officers , we fail but yes ... We do protect.
Her sister has gone through hell , it's natural for her to cry and grief for her , understandable ... But why my heart wrenching when she shakes while cleching her hem of kurti and breaking down .
Why my throat hurts when she chokes on her breath , she keeps calling me ... ' Sir' ... The only word keeps spilling from her lips.
I sat on one knee letting her hold my hand .
I wanted to Console her but I didn't, I can't.
She is ' No one to me ' , She is a normal person who seeks police's help , and helping and protecting common people is our duty not consoling them.
He sits silent letting her grief flow out of her eyes , until Doctor walks out of ICU with report .
Doctor
The reports...( In low tone )
Agni shekhawat
( slowly lift head and look at the doctor and hold the armrest of the chair to help herself up )
Aviraj Rawat
( Stands up as well )
Doctor
Here sir , the reports ( forward it towards Aviraj')
Agni shekhawat
W...what report...say.. doctor... My sister ... She will ...she will be alright..right... ( says with hurting throat and heavy tone from crying )
Aviraj Rawat
( reads report and clech his fist )
Agni shekhawat
Sir... What report says ... Please tell me ...
Doctor
( sighs ) As a legal guardian of patient that's why I am telling you .
Doctor
Fi.. five different sem*ns found inside the body , fractured right ankle, broken ribcage , three broken fingers... Face disfigured with sharp objects...
Agni shekhawat
( close eyes as tears slide down her cheeks )
Doctor
The ribcage have been pressed hard enough for lungs to get injured, there is internal bleeding...We are trying our best to keep patient alive ....
Agni slides down the wall burying her face in her palms , her shoulder shaking as she cries .
Aviraj hands report to an officer, with a order to start investing the case
7 days have passed , Agni visiting police station to know if they found the criminal only to be disappointed,same goes to hospital, she didn't saw Jyothi up close again after that day , the hospital staff don't allow her to get inside room just letting her see from door window .
Agni has taken a long leave from school where she teaches , Paying Hospital bills are always a heavy task to meddle class people .
Agni shekhawat
( Removes own earring and keeps on table then nose pin and rings from finger )
Agni shekhawat
This should do ... ( looking at few more gold jewels which she have kept of table infront of her )
Agni shekhawat
( picks up a set of small gold earrings and softly runs thumb on them )
Jyoti shekhawat
Didi... Theses earings her so pretty...I want them.. ( look at agni with sparkling eyes )
Agni shekhawat
You like these flower design...but diamond will look more beautiful..( picks up diamond earrings)
Jyoti shekhawat
No...this one only ..( fold hands )
Agni shekhawat
( sigh ) Fine then ... I am buying it ...but you can't wear it now ...
Jyoti shekhawat
What...but why...I want them...
Agni shekhawat
Pass your 10th boards with an excellent percentage...and I will myself put them in your earlobes...
Jyoti shekhawat
Of course I will... ( eyes gold earrings)
Agni shekhawat
( smiles and pays for earing keeping them in side bag and walk out if gold shop with Jyothi )
Agni shekhawat
( tears slides down from eyes holding same earings then close the box ) Not these one ..Sob* ..When My Jyothi will get well...then I will make her wear them...( keeps the box aside and takes another jewels with her to sell them )
