When Life Is Darker Than Black [WLIDTB] 2 ✓✓

chapter 79

"I knew something was off about this case when even ACP Sinha adviced me to stop further investigation.

Prachi, it would be great if you remember their faces, it will be easier to trace them."

"Ah, yes. His friend Roy and brother Mit was involved too. I don't know much but I heard them talking about how to keep me caged and distract police, at that time I was almost losing my consciousness so I couldn't hear much.

It's good that I still remember their faces, you should call a sketch artist here."

As if a new task was handed to him, Ashutosh didn't wasted any seconds and called one of the officer working under him to send sketch artist working under police to this hospital.

Nitisha stayed silent and didn't interrupted them. Soon, artist came and he started to draw sketch.

She described their facial appearance, although she couldn't describe in detail but it was accurate with skills of the artist.

Around an hour later two sketches with both Roy and Mit's image were drawn and sketch artist took his leave. Taking both sketches in his hands Ashutosh thought to himself,

'These two are new individuals in case, they helped Yash in kidnapping but still it was hidden well? I guess, slowly every single clue is getting transparent.'

He felt strange looking at Roy's picture,

'But why does he seems familiar, as if I saw him somewhere?

Where did I saw him?'

Something instant flashed through his memory as he realised,

'He was the same man who saved me from that road accident from before. Shit! This whole thing seems to be testing my patience!'

'What if he has more involvement in this whole thing? Or why would he save me even knowing I was investing their case and was after them?

What if this Roy trapped Yash and ran away with Mit?

Why? Would this be really like this? I must investigate again!'

"Mr. Ashutosh, I already helped regarding their sketches, I hope you will catch these two soon. Both of them have involvement in everything from start to end.

Sometimes I used to hear them talking about that, although most of the time I would be tied to bed. Please, catch them!"

Prachi's words pulled him out of his trace, nodding he assured her before saying,

"Yes, thank you. I can understand how painful it must be for you to recall these people but I am thankful for your help.

If anything please call me. I will be leaving then."

Looking around his eyes stopped at Nitisha who was seating on office chair staring at both of them, when her eyes met with his she couldn't stare back at him trying to hide sadness in her eyes.

It was not even a minute when he heartlessly pulled away his attention from her as nodding to Prachi last time he turned around to leave.

"Wait,... Mr. Ashutosh.. "

Prachi called out his name remembering something, she wanted to ask this question earlier but forgot in between helping him drawing sketches, now she suddenly recalled it back.

It was good that she recalled it at right time before he left.

"Sorry, but did you saw his dead body? I mean, Nitisha told me that he already died before law could punish him, so did you saw his dead body?

I know you must have confirmed it, but I want to be sure one last time. And listening from you would be lot more helpful."

He shook his head in understanding,

"No problem, at that time when I went to arrest him it was already four days from his death. People were gathered for his prayer meeting."

"That means.. you never saw his dead body?"

"Miss. ..."

Her eyes narrowed a little in disbelief as she laughed in agony. Ashutosh was shocked to see her behaviour not knowing how to react while Nitisha immediately got up from her seat to hold Prachi who seems to be fell in daze.

"He is not dead... You didn't saw his dead body... He is alive!"

She whispered softly as Nitisha helped him seating on couch while filling the empty glass with water and passing down to her she said,

"Have some water first Prachi don't panic. Listen to him first."

Ashutosh sat on other side of sofa waiting for Prachi to calm down a little,

"I am fine, Nitisha. Mr. Ashutosh, I am sure he is not dead! I know him! He can't be dead unless you saw him dead with your own eyes.

It would be great if my doubt turns out to be wrong, but please, check again. If he is not dead... I don't know what will happen to me!! Please."

She burst into tears thinking about those days again, she knew she should be strong enough to fight it all but thinking and doing are different things.

Even if she promised herself thousand times to not to leave herself in crying mess, but eventually those brutal memories would betray her promise.

Ashutosh passed tissue box to Nitisha who paused for second then holding them passed them to Prachi not once looking back at his way.

"Miss Prachi, don't worry. I will check on that. I will be going now."

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

He was lying on his bed peacefully enjoying calm and cool night of London in his apartment.

It has been few days already after Mit died and this doesn't seem to be affecting him much.

His life continued, he was already back to his real work as handling business matters of his family. Living in a high level security apartment complex handling business had become his daily life.

For him, he believed he took revenge for death of his family members from both Deewan brothers. 10 years ago, this Deewan family was involved in death of his family members and now he killed one and other died too fulfilling his revenge.

"He is sleeping. No movements from inside."

He put down telescope on table nearby as he informed someone from his Bluetooth plugged in his ear.

"Let him sleep, his upcoming days would be sleepless for him."

Swirling wine glass in his hands he said and then disconnected their call. Taking a sip from his wine glass he sat back lightly on dark grey couch.

"What if he never woke up from his dream? How good that would be.. no matter where you run off to, I will catch you. You have to pay for your betrayal Roy!"

He leaned over to put down wine glass back to glass table revealing his bright face under dim lightning of room.
