Detective Kashyap sitting on a sofa was enjoying his
coffee when a chubby man knocked on his door. He
opened the door with a smile. But that man gave a
tense look.
"Hello, mister,
" Detective Kashyap asked. "How can
I help you?"
"Are you Detective Kashyap?" Said the man in a
flurry." I am Akshaya and only he has the solution to
my problem."
"Yes, Mister Akshaya. I am Detective Kashyap.
Come in and sit. Then we will discuss everything."
Detective Kashyap offered a coffee to Akshaya but
he was in a bit of a hurry.
"Sir, please help me! My mother suddenly
disappeared from her room! I was with our cook. He
was telling me something about vegetables. And I
went inside my mother's room to tell her also but
she was not there!"
Akshaya's phone rang. He picked up the phone.
"Hello, my brother! How are you? Err- - I am not at
home, so...yes! Surely! Bye."
"What were you talking about to your brother, eh?"
"He wanted to talk to mother. I don't have any
choice, except for lying. He asked me to give the phone to our mother. He is out of station for now
and he doesn't know that Mum is lost. I don't dare to
tell him the truth! Please I beg! Please find her
before he comes back!"
"Before that, where's your father?"
Akshaya takes a long breath.
"Okay I understood and I am sorry for that."
Detective Kashyap said after guessing that his
father is dead."So, when did you father..."
"Ten years ago. He was a drunkard rasc - - "
"I got it!" Detective Kashyap cut Akshaya and
said."So, does that mean you and your brother are
the only ones who live with your mother?"
"No. There are two servants. One is a cook which I
mentioned and the other is a caretaker."
"Interesting. Where was the caretaker when she
disappeared?"
"He must be mobbing. Or maybe calling his wife. He
is a jerk. He calls her and says nothing. He
sometimes just says, hmm... or na...that's it."
"I will have to visit your house."
"You can come with me!"
They both sat in Akshaya's car and went off towards
his house.
It was a big bungalow. Detective Kashyap examined
the room from where her mother disappeared. To examine the room without disturbance, he made
Akshaya stands outside of the room.
Her room was on the first floor and no one could
jump from there. If she went out of the main door,
Akshaya would have known because he was sitting
in the lobby with the cook when she disappeared.
There was a bed, a table, and an almirah. He looked
below the almirah and saw some dust and a packet.
That packet recalled something from his own life. It
was a packet in which a special organization kept
drugs for selling.
He tried to open the almirah of the room but it was
locked. He took out a lighter and used a weird iron
piece coming out of it from its lower part and opened
it.
Detective Kashyap saw some papers and clothes
kept very nicely. He read the paper and smiled.
He came out with an expression of victory and saw
Akshaya and the Cook talking.
"So you are the cook." Detective Kashyap started
his interrogation with the cook, Suresh. "How long
have you been working here?"
"This year in March it will be seven years, sir."
"Hmm, so, you should be loyal, ain't you?"
"Yes, sir. Akshaya sir always praises my work."
Akshaya smiled.
"Good. Akshaya, would you mind if I talk to him
privately?"
"Of course not!" He said and went away.
"Don't you think this caretaker, Tinku, is quite a bit
suspicious? I mean, he looked at me like I would kill
him!"
"It's been three years, sir. But then also I don't know
him much. The last time we talked was when
Akshaya sir's mother, Anita Madam, shouted at her
and asked him to leave the job if he didn't know
how to work."
Detective Kashyap rubbed his hands.
"Interesting! So, he doesn't talk much and he also
doesn't work properly!"
"Yes, sir."
"Stop telling an untruth!"
"W - What do you mean? Why would I lie? He talks
less, I swear."
"I know, you are not lying about it. You are lying
about the dispute between your Anita madam and him. Why did you lie? It's simple, if he is like that, he
would have already been fired from the job."
"Err- - s-s-sorry sir! I don't like his nature, so I
thought he would be kicked out of the job if he is
also a suspect."
"Speaking of suspects, now you are one of the
suspects in this case!"
Suresh swallowed.
"But sir, one of the...?"
Detective Kashyap smiled and went away.
He knew what he should do to solve this twisted case.
