Part 27 The Calls...

Anjali lifted the sleeping Shali in her arms and walked out. Shyam started his bike and they reached the area police station in fifteen minutes. A constable approached them.

"What do you want sir?"

"My sister is missing," Anjali said worriedly.

"Inspector sir is in his room... go and tell him"

"Ok, sir"

"One minute... let me get his permission. He may have to do some other work"

They nodded ok. Anjali ran her eyes in the station. She saw a few guys sitting at the corner of the station, looking at her. of course, they were accused. She turned her gaze somewhere. The constable who went to get the inspector's permission came to her.

"Two minutes, madam... the inspector sir is on call"

Anjali nodded ok. The inspector came out, finishing the call, and call them inside. Anjali and Shyam went to their room.

The name board *Inspector Alexander* had been kept on the table.

"Take your seats..." Inspector Alexander said.

Anjali and Shyam sat in front of him.

"Tell me, Sir"

"I'm Anjali. He is my husband, working in Saudi. I'm living in Mumbai with my sister. She is missing, sir" Anjali said before Shyam said anything.

"From when she is missing?"

"Form today morning, sir..."

Alexander looked at the watch.

"You can wait for a while... she may come home if she went to meet her friends..."

"No Sir, she won't go anywhere without conveying it to me. This is the first time she is doing this..." Anjali said.

"What do you think about it?"

"I think she left our house in anger..."

"Anger? what happened? Why is she angry with you?"

"She is a music graduate. She got a music teacher job in a Delhi school but my husband denied sending her to Delhi... that's why she should have left our house as she was already upset with him"

"Already upset? But why?" Alexander lifted his brows.

Shyam gritted his teeth whereas Anjali hesitated to speak further.

"Listen, Madam, we can proceed further only if we are clear about the case. If you hide anything important then how could we find it out?"

"I was looking for a groom for her. I liked the family and also the groom. Khushi also said yes to marrying him. That was when my husband asked for their phone number to take the alliance forward. I gave him his father's phone number. He asked about the groom's HIV test report. That made his family upset"

"HIV report?" Alexander chuckled.

"The marriage called off..."

"Of course, it has to... then?"

"That's why my sister is upset with him"

"Why did you ask for the HIV report, sir?"

"Just for Khushi's safety..." Shyam said.

"Did you provide your HIV report before your marriage?"

Shyam nodded NO hesitating.

"Then why are so concerned about your sister-in-law's safety?"
