.................

Constable didn't stayed longer, after chatting for two more minutes she stood up from her seat.

" My work is done here. Here, have my number. Call me anytime, I will help you."

Prachi exchanged numbers with Chetana and then bid her farewell, Ashutosh was standing just opposite of her house door in passage, when he heard door opening he turned to see Chetana coming out and nodding to him.

" You go, report back to police station."

" Yes, sir."

Chetana then left, turning to face Prachi he asked,

" Ms. Prachi, I have something to talk to you about."

" Please,.."

Out of politeness she moved aside trying to give him space to enter when Ashutosh denied and said,

" No problem, Prachi, I hope you are having no problems living here. If anything, do not hesitate to call. You will get police support, so don't hesitate or worry."

" Ji, thank you so much. Earlier I couldn't thank you properly, thank you so much Mr. Ashutosh for rescuing me. It was like another birth to me, thank you."

Shaking his head in denial Ashutosh smiled in politeness as he said,

" No need, it was my duty."

He hesitated for a minute, then nodding to her he turned to leave. She was going to close the door when he stopped his steps and turning to her he called her name,

" Prachi, as Ronit's friend I think you should know his point of view too. I know you must have some reason but that guy deserves to know your reason and chance to give you a proper explanation.

I am sorry if I crossed my line, but just think about it."

He left leaving her still in thoughts thinking about his words.

'Its better for both of us to stay out of each other's path.'

Closing the door she went inside and took envelope in her hand, her hesitation and fear stopped her from opening it but she wanted to know what was actually inside, what if it was nothing major? But what if there was something horrible inside?

She taking deep breath sighed and opened envelope, pressing two sides of envelope to open it wide she tried to pull those pictures out when she sighed again.

'Why am I feeling so nervous and anxious? I think I should calm myself first.'

She drank water and seating on sofa took out pictures from envelope which widened her eyes in disbelief.

'How shameless he was to do something like this, he even dared to have such personal pictures of me! That XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX, '

It was more of shock and disgust to find her pictures, Moreover these pictures included her pictures from everywhere she went.

She one by one checked pictures to find, some of them were at time when she went numerous places with Ronit.

'He was stalking me for almost a year?

OH MY GOD! I didn't even noticed his existence! He even have my pictures of this house! He entered my house and I was unaware?'

'This .... This one is from Sangeet! He... Stalker.'

She looked through every picture to realise how much of toxic and stalking personality he had, she felt scared and disgusted thinking him entering her house like that.

What if he entered her room too? What if he barged into their house when everyone was sleeping?

What if he tried to do something in her sleep?

Such thoughts increased her disgust further as she yelled in disgust,

"NO WAY!!!!"

These were secretly taken pictures of her from a year back to just one day before her marriage, some of these pictures were from this house.

This raised suspicion in her mind, whether he installed hidden cameras in her house? She immediately looked at pictures to locate cameras.

Luckily these pictures were taken from living room, temple, passage, and out of her house.

But, what if he had installed it in her room?

Horrified pictures slipped from her hands, getting worried all over she immediately ran to pull back all curtains, she ran from one room to another to pull back curtains while turning off every light leaving her 3 BHK apartment in pitch black.

Soon she turned flashlight on in her smart phone and slowly flashed it everywhere around the house.

'Please, don't let it all be true.. please, I won't be able to control myself... Please, don't let any cameras installed in my room,

But, what if he installed it in Bathroom?'

She bit her lips to prevent herself from crying as she continued to look over, her hope shattered one by one as she found shiny light contrasting against flashlight.

'What's the point of hoping? Every time I hope something to turn out positive, it gets bound for worst!'

She checked her apartment and sighed in relief finding no cameras installed in her bedroom neither in bathroom.

'But what if he removed them? What if he have my pictures? What if.....'

She couldn't bring herself to think further as she let out a loud yelp, her eyes travelled around herself looking at messy appearance of her house, they stopped on semi-broken cameras.

Suddenly her anger rushed up as she getting up started to find something, after searching for good minute she found hammer and ran back to break every hidden camera in small pieces.

She poured down her frustration, her fear, her anger, her hatred, her helplessness, everything on slamming on already broken pieces of cameras.

'JUST GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!

GET OUT!'

It was loud to the point that people living below her apartment were shocked for their life hearing sudden slamming above their ceiling.

She cried hugging herself as whimper escaped from her lips, she wanted to badly forget everything and move on but why every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME something like this would happen?

Her baby....

As if realising something she immediately wiped her tears and sat in Indian style carefully, caressing her lower belly slowly she said,

"Baby, don't be like me. Don't take after me in this situation. Mumma, can't control her anger but you have to. Anger is not a solution!"

"Baby, mumma is not angry woman. Mumma, loves you so much. Listen to mumma, don't take after mumma's bad habits.

You are good baby, right?"

Just after her words someone rang her doorbell and knocked on her door, startled she looked at that way.

Looking at mess around herself she bit her lips in worry, but after hearing another knock she got up and went to open main door.

...............

Quite emotional? I guess..
