Kissing A Devil (Complete and Continuing In The Sequel)

Chapter 49

DCP drags Sidharth by his collar and throws him on the floor of the cell in the police station. Sidharth sits down on the floor with his hand on his knee. He smiles at him,
"You know what you are doing, right?"
"Sidharth Raichand, this is where you belong. Everyone out right now."

DCP sits down on the chair right in front of Sidharth. He has the same smile on his face.
"Stop smiling."
"Why? You loved my smile, remember. Aaj kya hua mama ji?"
"Shut up. Stop calling me that. I am not your.."
"Sidharth Raichand has power and money but he is poor in relationships. I won't call you anything as you don't want me to. But you will ask me one day, you will realise you were wrong. Till then, Sidharth Raichand will call you DCP."
"Listen Sidharth Raichand, tell me where Pranab is. I don't want to do this. Do you like everything that's happening with you?"

Sidharth starts to laugh.
"DCP, do you really think you are doing all these?"
"What do you mean?"
Sidharth controls his laugh and suddenly turn serious,
"Sidharth Raichand ko koi andar nahi dal sakta. He is here, sitting on the floor of the police station because he wanted to. You could hold my collar and throw me here, only because I allowed you to. You know me quite well. You really believe I could let you bring me here like this without my wish?"
"I don't understand. You wanted to be here. But why?"
Sidharth leans to the wall and smiles,
"Sawalon se ghiri meri zindagi mein
Woh puchte hain ek aur sawal.
Intezaar karoge toh kuch hasil hogi.
Shayad tumhe mil jaye unke jawab.

Ya phir khud socho,
Jhoot ka naqaab tum khud kholo.
Jo dikhta hai woh haqeeqat hoti nahi.
Koshish karo toh jaan jaoge,
Yeh jyada Der chupi bhi rehti nahi."

"Ajit! What is happening here?"
Sidharth lifts his head to see Richa standing outside the bars. He smiles at her, mouthing the words relax. Richa has an expression of worry and at the same time she is fuming with anger. DCP stands up and walks out of the cell.
"What do you think of yourself Ajit? Why have you brought my son here like this? And you have put him in this cell like a criminal. How dare you!"

"Richa, your son is a criminal. You can't deny that. He is Sidharth Raichand, son of Raghuvir Raichand."
"Shut up Ajit. You know he is nothing like his father. He is not a criminal. Leave him right now. "
"Mumma, relax!"
Sidharth says as he walks up to the bars of the cell.
Richa goes to him and touches his cheek,
"How can I? I can't."
Turning to DCP, she says,
"Ajit, you have known him since childhood. I used to tie rakhi on your wrist. You forgot everything."

"Mumma, he is Bani's Mamaji right now, not mine."
Sidharth says with a mischievous smile.
"Sidharth, stop it. I am nobody's uncle here. I am the DCP of Mumbai. Richa, I know it is not easy to accept your son as a criminal, but that's the fact. His file is on my table. He has become the Mafia king of the city. He has taken the throne of his father. But today I brought him only to find out about Pranab. Tell him to give me his information and I will let him go."

"You're again making a mistake here, DCP. You are just no one to let me go. I am here on my will and I will leave on my wishes only. "
Richa turns to him,
"Sid baby, what are you saying? Kya chal raha hai?"
"Mumma, first tell me where's Shehnaaz?"
"She is talking to the lawyers. Why?"
"I need to talk to her. DCP Sir, I am allowed one phone call. Isn't it? Can I?"
He nods his head and Richa gives him her phone.

After two rings, she picks up and he says,
"Hey beautiful, missing me?"
"Sidharth!"
She screams over the phone.
"Shh..stop screaming."
"Sorry. Are you out of there? I was talking to your lawyer. He is telling me that you have asked him not to do anything until you say."
" I am still here. And don't worry. I will be out very soon. You know no bars can hold me."
"Sidharth, what is going on in your mind? You are there as you want it. Isn't it? But why?"
Sidharth smiles,
"Mrs. Shehnaaz Sidharth Raichand, you have become quite smarter these days."
