Part 71 Encounter

Anjali shot Shyam making everyone shocked. Khushi rushed to her.

"Di, what have you done?" She asked restlessly.

Anjali stood like a stone, and said nothing, looking at Shyam. Arnav and Alex felt bad for her. Suddenly, Anjali facial reaction changed into a horrified one, whose eyes were on Shyam. Khushi looked at Shyam who was trying to get up. She was taken aback. The bullet Anjali shot at him just penetrated his shoulder.

"You bloody b***" Shyam shouted at Anjali and flung the knife at her.

The knife fell to the ground, after scratching Anjali's neck. Anjali clutched her neck, dropping Alex's gun down. In no time, taking the gun from the ground, Alex shot Shyam. Of course, it was a headshot. Shyam fell leaving his previous life. Anjali looked at him gritting her teeth.

Taking his mobile, Alex started the formalities of disposing of Shyam's body to the post-mortem.

"Di, sit here... I will bring the guest aid kit"

"Wait, Khushi"

Alex checked Anjali's wound.

"It's not so deep but just a scratch."

"I will bring the first aid kit"

Khushi was supposed to go to her room to bring the first aid kit.

"Take her in and do first aid, Khushi" Arnav said.

"Let's go, Di"

Anjali nodded ok and went with Khushi. Khushi treated her wound carefully.

The forensic department came to RM and started scanning. They drew a line around Shyam's body. After that, the cops took his body to the government hospital to do a post-mortem.

Everyone left RM, except for Alex. He came to Anjali.

"At the time of the inquiry, don't tell anything about your shooting. Just tell them, Shyam tried to kill you. The police inspector Alexander came to RM and shot him. this is how you should tell them. Don't forget that. Ok?"

"Won't it give you a problem?" Anjali asked.

"I can face it... It will not be tough for a policeman like me, like, how it will be for you. It will give me problems only if tell them anything different. Please, don't say anything in the inquiry"

"Won't you enquire about this case?" Khushi asked.

"No... As it's an encounter, I should answer the human rights commission. So, the department will appoint a new officer" Alex said.

"It's everything because of me" Anjali sighed.

"Di, please don't blame yourself for something you are not at fault for."

"Khushi is right. You don't have to take the blame for someone's mistake. It's your husband who is blameworthy here" Alex said.

Anjali was silent.

"Take care of her, Khushi," Alex said.

Khushi nodded OK. Alex left the place. Khushi sat next to Anjali.

"Why did you do that, Di?" She asked touching Anjali's cheek.

"What else do you want me to do Khushi? I don't want him to get a chance again... for anything. He is one hell of the person I have ever seen. He should not be alive. Until he is alive, he won't let any of us be happy. Such trash he is" Anjali seethed in anger.

"Didn't you think about Shali? What will she do without you?"

"Won't you look after her like always? I know because of Shyam only you started distancing yourself from us. That too, after his declaration of returning to India. You were planning to leave our house after he came. Am I right?" she asked painfully.
