Unadulterated Love

Part 31

SIDHARTH'S POV

"Yeah sure Mr Murthy.. My associative manager will take it from here.. It's going to be my pleasure having you all the way from Karnataka.." just finished a video call with a client. Cracked the deal as usual.

Since day one, I've been trying to find loops in the accident, which could lead us to that bastard. Riya said there was this ride attendant that had guided seats to them.

On proceeding further, we found out that he wasn't even working there. Somebody must have sent him to pester. I asked Shehnaaz, if she could describe how he looked, so that we could get his sketch ready and hand it over to the police.

"Ha..bilkul aisa hi kuch dekhne me tha vo..!" she looked at the final face.

"Haina Sana..?" she asked the girl. We called Sana too and the little intelligent girl actually remembered his face.

"Uncle.. Isske hath me na ek tattoo bhi thi.. Marathi me kuch likha hua tha.." she recalled. She saw it most probably when he was putting her seat belt on.

"Okay.. We'll look into it.. Chor bazar me aise ladke milte hai.. Paise leke kaam karte hai seth logo ke liye..." the inspector said. Taking with him a copy of the sketch.

"Thank you sir for your time.. " Ajay escorted him out.

"Haaye.. Dekho iski shakal (Shehnaaz glanced the picture once again) dekhne me seedha sadha admi lagta hai.. Haramzaada!" she cursed. Sana giggled. 

"Shehnaaz.. Language!" I scold.

"And thank you Sana.." gave the little girl a chocolate for her help. The one Pranav brought yesterday. Hehe.

"You're welcome... Mam jaldi se theek ho jao.." she left after pecking her cheek.

"Hello there..." Dr Ashwini entered with his assistant carrying a file.

"Hey Dr.. We've been looking for you.." Shehnaaz said.

"Hanji.. Bataiye.." he asked.

"Actually Dr.. I wanted to know if we could get her discharged.. And continue the rest of her treatment at home.." I said.

His expressions changed, "May I know the reason Mr Shukla.. Her physiotherapy sessions haven't even properly began..!" he said. I know, she might recover faster in the hospital but it's not safe here.

"um.. Yeah.. But.. We have our reasons.." I said, not wanting to reveal it.

"Well.. Is it about the cleanliness or anything.. Any kind of misconduct.. I'll look after it personally.." he assured. He had seen the police in the morning, seemed tensed.

"Oh no.. The hospitality is great.. I mean there's a personal reason behind her discharge.. The accident I told you about.. Was planned.." had to tell him. He's the doctor afterall.

"My goodness..!! Who tried to harm this  angel..?" he asked caressing Shehnaaz's face.

"We're looking for him.." I answered.

"Okay.. I'll the papers ready and you can leave tomorrow.." he looked at her.

"Thankyou.." she said.

"Are you ready Miss Gill..? For your very first session..?" entered Dr Dubey. Her face scrunched. I don't know why, but she hates him. Maybe, because he's strict?

"So here is your walker.. Hold it tight.. And try to stand up.." he said. She slowly put her legs down.

"Now stand up.. Shift your weight to the healthy foot.. And take a step ahead.." he instructed further. She looked at me, I strode towards her.
