The Stalker

51#

She was totally shocked seeing the news. She entered the bedroom and found him sleeping soundly. Came out closing his door, checked other news channels. every channel gave the same news with his name and photo. She sat down in sofa, switched off the TV. 

Her phone rang, this time it is Rakshita. "Hello", my voice trembled. "Hey Yazhini, listen. We still don't know if this is true or not. They haven't recovered the bodies yet. Me and Prabhu are going to Chennai now, you stay strong. God will never leave us in haste. Believe in Good. Yazhini please dont give up. " she kept on speaking. Yazhini was speechless, how could she say that he is with her. "I will take care, you kindly update me what's happening in Chennai. " Yazhini said in a strong voice ,making Rakshita feel relax a bit. 

Yazhini locked the main door and made sure the all the windows are closed with curtains. She closed the kitchen door. She sat silently helping herself to handle the situation little wiser. She entered the bedroom closed the room. She sat near his head. She softly gave a kiss on his forehead. She want to know what happened to him, without knowing that she can't do anything. For that he has to wake up. In few minutes, Yazhini slept near him. Ram comfortably snuggled near her. She was the solace of him. 

A hoodie guy made a phone call standing near the kitchen window Yazhini's room. "Sir, We are not sure about Ram's presence with Yazhini here. As I said earlier after long torture of us, it's impossible for a person to travel this long without food and proper rest. He must be near our Hubs. Ask our team to search the nook and corner of our forest.", The person on the other end said a ok and disconnected the call. That hoodie guy started to leave the side of Yazhini's room and Yazhini who was sitting down in the kitchen was horrified hearing the conversation. She came to get some water but saw a shadow near the kitchen window so she sat down hiding herself under the kitchen counter. Something is wrong for sure. She said that to herself.  

She heard the muffled cries of him and she immediately switched on the TV and kept a music channel with little volume up. hurriedly went inside the bed room and closed the door. Ram was murmuring something. when she sat near him and heard him closely, he was murmuring, "Sundeep's network, Sundeep's network". Following the murmur his closed eyes started to shed tears. "Iam sorry ra, Sundeep..." his murmur's started to raise as a louder cry, she tried to wake him up, tapping his cheeks. He was still in sleep, but was living something bad in his dreams. Yazhini forcefully took him in her arms. Getting him into her hold, made him stop his cry, still his lips were murmuring sorry sorry... 

After sometime, Yazhini made him lie on the bed."Thanga paiya.. Everything will be ok. I am right here, Your Yazhini is here. I will take care of everything." saying so she leaned and kissed on his cheeks. She tried to get up from the bed, and something got her attention. His shirt which she removed few hours before was hanging on the corner of her bed rest. She checked his shirt and found a pendrive.

Her intuitions were never wrong. She connected the pendrive to her laptop. It had many folders, she searched for something Sundeep. She found a folder in a name "Sundeep's Network". She opened the folder to find many videos. When she played the videos, within few minutes she closed the eyes tightly and closed the laptop immediately. She left a loud cry waking up the sleeping Ram. He rushed to the front room weakly still the food he had few minutes before gave him few strength. The laptop near her and his pendrive hanging in the side portal helped him guess what she is crying for. 

"Ammu, ammu, look at me. look at me, stop crying, shu shu..." He got her under his hold and tried to calm her down. "How brutal, How heartless Ram. What does his family done, That little kid what did she do?, Small girl Ram, Small girl Ram" she started to cry in his arms, her hold on him grew harder.  

In Chennai.

Prabhu impatiently walked to and fro infront of the room. A formal dressed man came out of the room. "You are right Prabhu, it is not Ramanathan's body. The body marks does not match." As he said, Prabhu gave a relieved breath out. He informed Rakshita first and asked her to inform the same to Yazhini. He next called to inform Ram and Yazhini's parents. 

In Yazhini's Room.

Yazhini's phone was ringing, but she was still in Ram's hold crying her heart out. Ram saw her phone and asked Yazhini to attend the same. First she was reluctant to attend, when he pushed her away from him and wiped her tears off, and said," I need your help in this, If you are going to cry like this who is going to help me ammu. Relax ammu. First attend the call. " As he spoke call got disconnected. Yazhini composed herself and took the phone to call Rakshita herself. but Rakshita called back. Yazhini attended the call. "Its not Ram, the news is fake" Rakshita spoke without any Hi or Hello. "Thank you Rakshita. I will call you back. I really need some time. Thank you. "Yazhini spoke and disconnected the call. 

"Ram, just tell me. What happened in the last months. What's with the news that came in TV. and Who were those heartless morons in that video, whose family is that?, Tell me Ram" Yazhini took Ram's hands into hers and spoke in a pleading tone with her eyes which was clearly waiting to shed next set of tears. 

Ram spoke, "Ammu, we thought it was just Drug case but when we started to work we got many ugly truths out. But we never knew we had a black sheep along with our gang." Ram started to tell what happened in last months.
