THE RICH DOCTOR VS THE WITCH DOCTOR

CHAPTER 20

"WHY DID YOU DO IT? THE ORDER WAS NOT GIVEN" the voice on the other side said

"BUT YOU ASKED ME TO ARRANGE IT, SO I DID IT BUT IT WAS NOT CANCELED", dr Malathy replied

"IT WAS ALSO NOT SANCTIONED. YOU TAKE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WHOLE INCIDENT, I DON'T KNOW HOW, COVER IT UP, SUCH THAT IT DOESN'T COME TO US", the voice replied

"I ALREADY HAVE TWO IN MIND, THERE ARE WITNESSES WHO CAN POINT TO THEM",Malathy said

"GOOD GO AHEAD", and the line went dead

Rishi was in his cabin all night how ever he analyzed the situation he did not get any answer. He cursed himself for trusting Sk and coming back to India. If his mom would have been alive she would have slapped some sense into him. His troubled mind went to rest when he deviated his thoughts to Shruthi. Imagining himself in her arms he dozed off.

Morning he felt fresh and he had a decision, he was typing his resignation letter when he heard commotion from the ground floor. There were police inside the hospital.

'Finally, so they threw me under the bus now' he thought. 'Let me go out with dignity' he thought. As his lift door opened he saw the police Dragging Vimal out.

"Hey do you have a warrant?"Rishi asked the police officers

They produced a paper "People have seen him and one Ms.Ridhi plotting against Mr.Soorya kumar and his son. so this is a formal enquiry, If you see Ms.Ridhi, she is to surrender to us or we are issuing a warrant for her capture. Please let your staffs know that and co operate with us", and they took Vimal along with them.

Vimal looked back at Rishi and smiled

"Wait! can I talk to him for a minute",

"Vimal I know you didn't do it, but tell me where is Ri? I can get you both out soon its just an enquiry", he said

"Rishi the game has just started. Brace for impact", Vimal told him with the same smile.

"Fuck!" Rishi cursed. He rushed to see Sk

Sk was playing chess all by himself

"Hello Dr.Rishi resignation letter?" he asked

"Whats going on?" Rishi asked

"In the game of chess these are called pawns. do you know why, because you can sacrifice them to win the game. For its the game, is all that matters", Sk told Rishi POINTing at the board

"The only Pawn i see are Prashanth and Myself", Rishi felt deceived

"You need to be careful Rishi, while talking to a business man. to us anything that helps us to boost our image, we take it" Sk laughed "come sit lets play a game."

"Enough of all your games",Rishi knew where he needed to be where he would get comfort or at the least a little peace of mind.

Mercina woke up with a excruciating pain in her shoulder. Her anesthesia effect has worn off. She slowly tried getting up and sweety came to her assistance.

"Hun you didn't sleep?" Mercina asked

Sweety showed the other bed Prashanth was sleeping there "When did he come?" She asked

"Late night after you slept"

"where did you sleep?" Mercina asked

Sweety showed a chair "thats enough for me, I'm small", the girl smiled "Do you want anything? Dr.Shruthi asked me to inform her when you are awake let me go fetch her".
