"So Mrs Meera do you drink?" Nabanil asked
"Occasionally" Meera replied
"Do you sleep with multiple men?" Nabanil again asked.
"Objection me lord," Anupama said, "My dear friend is asking out of topic and completely irrelevant questions."
"Objection sustained," The judge said.
"Your Honour, Mrs Maya Kulkarni, the tenant of Meera has given written confession that she has seen several men coming and going out of her house even at the darkest of times of the night. Meera, do you have anything to say about it?" Nabanil said
"Yes. I don't know what is her problem. But I completely disagree with whatever she is saying." Maya continued "Never did any men come into my house."
"Is this everything?" Nabanil asked
"Yes," Maya replied.

Outside the court, Anupama was waiting with Meera for Nabanil. He came and touched the womb of Meera and asked "what month is it?"
"It's in 7 months," Meera said smiling.
Nabanil looked into her face and sighed.

Meera reached the house almost 15 minutes ago and suddenly she realised that she has not seen Kaju for a while. "Kaju" Meera started searching for him but found him nowhere. Being tensed Meera called Abhay and asked about Kaju but no reply came from there. Abhay did not even say hello to her. He directly switched off the call.
Meera called Anupama and told her everything. She quickly came to her home.
"Are you sure you looked everywhere?" Anupama said
"Yes exactly" Meera replied
Suddenly Anupama screamed, Meera ran to her and was shocked to see Kaju lying in front of her house. He was completely showered in blood and was not even breathing.

Two days later Meera came back from the market with essentials for Kaju's funeral when suddenly a voice called her from outside. She went outside and saw an old lady standing with a stick in her hand. She was bent and was dressed weird.
"You still can't understand right?" She asked
"What? What should I understand?" Meera replied
The lady laughed crookedly and said in a sly voice "This is a demon's call." By this, she started laughing wickedly and went away.
