SWEET DECEMBER ( Completed) ✅️

Chapter 16

VARAD'S POV

It was not a good day to discuss about her past and how it is connected to mine. She looked pained, trying hard to explain but in the end hiding something which might hurt me or her. Idhant ran from one room to another with stupid papers which he stole from my cupboard. Oishani was too silent. I wonder who had bigger hand in creating this situation? My parents and sister who knew about my wife and unborn child or Oishani who didn't care to contact me.

" Varad I will go for a walk." She said tying up her lace. My son was busy tearing papers while listening to rhymes. Nodding my head I let her go, I am at a point where I can't say how much i like her , she is too sensitive to take my feelings now.

" Akash? Can you get footage of the hotel I stayed in?" I asked my friend who said it is difficult without proper permission from police. Not having much to do, I dialed up the only person I can ask for help

" Yes?." She answered as if  I am unknown to her.

" What do you mean by yes? I am your brother!." I exclaimed.

" That I know. What do you want?." She asked me.

" I need you to request your ex boyfriend for permission to look into security cameras of the hotel I stayed-." I tried to explain

" Excuse me? You want me to talk with that douchbag? He is full of himself! You have his number. You know where he lives. Go and beg yourself. By the way, what will you get looking at cameras? You slept with your wife,  you both spent cozy time there. I don't understand why don't you move forward with her? Past is past. You can't change it. " she shouted not before warning me not to call her again. My sister who is my blood denied help. If I have to move forward isn't it obvious that I want to know about my past?

Something definitely is fishy. 

Taking Idhant with me I reached Karan who is ex boyfriend of my sister and works in police force. Idhant jumped in my arms trying to catch hold of  wind chimes placed above his door. Karan opened the door and looked at us.  My son became quite knowing he should behave. I looked Karan who was first confused, realization hit me folding his hands he raised his eyebrows.

" Can I come inside your house?." I asked him

" I get off once a week that too without any work. I am not interested to entertain you and no offense this child." He spoke quite seriously.

" Please, he's my son Idhant." I said.

" Hiiiiiiii." Idhant greeted him in high pitch voice definitely hyped up.

Karan melted looking at him but moved his head as no.

" See, clearly you might have informed your sister but I am not interested.  This brings bad memories for me. Especially with you sister a lot. If you need help from me professionally I suggest you visit me at station on Monday after 11.30 am." He said moving his hands between us.

" Uncle?" Idhnat held my chin moving my head towards him.  Smiling at my son I nodded yes. He immediately jumped from my arms to Karan's shouting something which I didn't get.

" Unciiiiiiii." He shouted while Karan had no choice but hold him steady. With glaring eyes he tried to give him back. My son being an adamant man decided to cling to him.

" What is wrong with him?." He asked. I actually don't know. He is a shy kid but with him he really loves to disturb him.

" Idhant. Come here. We should not trouble uncle ok? Say sorry." I said taking my son from him.  With teary eyes, my son looked at Karan.

" orry." He spoke hiding his face in my neck. Karan was visibly feeling bad. As far as I know he loves kids.

" Where is your sister?" He asked.

" Singapore. She joined a course there." I replied.

" That far?." He was shocked. Of course she will want to hide from him. 

" Karan, I..I need you help. It's really important for my son's sake." I said looking hopeful. He went inside got two chairs and one little stool along with a small ball. Making us sit in verandah outside his house,  he let Idhant play with the ball. I explained to him what all happened with me , he listened carefully not saying a word.

" I have been keeping a secret for your sister's sake. I think since she doesn't care much, it's high time you know that it was me who handled your accident case." Karan spoke at the same time he was hit by my son with the ball.

" What do you mean accident ? It happened here right?." I asked him.

" No.  That conference was attended by high profile people, I was incharge for last two days. Replaced my colleague as he fell sick. When they said someone was found in a trench I was assigned to look into it. You were there along with your car lying face down bleeding to death. I recovered you and called your sister." He explained which shocked me to the core.

" Thank you." I said quite shocked at the moment. If he called my sister then she might be the only person who reached me. Where is Oishani then?

" I was shifted to breach candy hospital by you?." I asked him.

" Me and my team. Your sister came running into the hospital hugged me, said thank you.  That was the last time I saw her. Later, after prior investigation it was closed as you appeared to be in intoxicated state. And it was not your fault since the driver was dead and you survive. I mean you were responsible enough to take a driver. While we couldn't examine your car as it's been burnt half and rest was broken badly to even take samples." Karan explained further.

" You mean to say that you didn't know reason behind this?." I questioned him.

" See, I am just primary investigator at that time. My part of the job was to keep you alive , rest my seniors handled it. Frankly it is irresponsible of you to drink that much during daytime." He pointed out.  Drinking ? I never drank in my life. It's because of this habit my father lost the job. He was careless drinker.

" But you know I never drink Karan. I don't even remember attending this conference. For God's sake I get some clue regarding what happened with me." I was frustrated beyond a point. 

"What do you mean by you don't remember? I saw two dining out. " He said.

"Who?." I questioned.

"You and a girl. I can recognize her though. " He said lost in thought.

"You mean Oishani? The one I was talking about?." Asked him showing her photos.  He nodded saying yes.

The actual fuck! If everyone saw her, if she really spent night with me. If I was really in love with her why did I leave the conference without her? I should have atkeast her number in my phone! Or something as remembrance?
