Nirupama

(Some Secrets May Better Remain Secrets Forever)

'I cannot bear this', 'I want to pluck my eyes out' only these two sentences were the clues which the late girl Nirupama left in writing one on a wall and one in a book quite unintentionally and involuntarily to know about the reason for her committing suicide. Her father Ranganath, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka along with Nirupama's friend Sukanya pretty well understood that Nirupama did not want the said secret to be known to anyone else. But since her father Ranganath hell bent upon knowing about the said secret, detective Smaran and his niece Menaka ruthlessly investigated the matter only to unearth the said ghastly, shocking and astounding secret which the dead girl terribly wished to keep only with her in her grave forever.

"Then it can be assumed that she did not come straight to your house from the college on that day. She first went to her home and from there came to your house."

"It must have been so." Sukanya nodded her head.

"Then can we presume that something happened to her in her house which made her upset and caused an expression like that in her face?"

"Never" Sukanya nodded her head firmly. "There is no chance at all to something happen to her in her home to make her feel upset like that. Both her parents did love and like her a lot. They never do anything that makes her feel bad."

"Alright" Menaka nodded her head. "But how can you say that she came straight to her home from the college on that day? She might have stopped or might have been stopped for some reason at the college or nearby it or on the way."

"I just cannot understand what you are trying to say!" frowns gathered on the forehead of Sukanya.

"Don't get emotional and try to think in a logical way." Menaka stooped in the chair she sat and said looking into the face of Sukanya. "Nirupama suffered with something which she could not share with anyone even with those who were very close to her and that something even led her to commit suiside. Just try to guess in a general way and say what can make a girl distress that much even to commit suiside."

"I just cannot indulge myself in that guessing business. You do it yourself." Still there were frowns on the forehead of Sukanya.

"I already did." Menaka smiled and leaned back in the chair. "A rape or gang-rape. She would have been forced to stop somewhere while she was coming from the college and that atrocity would have happened on her. As she could not share it with anyone she committed suiside like that after suffering in herself for fifteen days or so."

"My god! What type of thinking it is?" Sukanya's face was filled with shock.

"We have to consider all types of possibilities. Just tell me whether there is such a chance or not. I already asked you to not to become emotional and try to think in a logical way."

"No, never." After few seconds serious thinking over that Sukanya said. "Even if something like that happened on her, Nirupama was not that type of a girl to commit suiside for it. First thing she would do is get those rascals to be hanged. It is not a rape or gang-rape on her which made her to commit suiside."

"Then what could have caused that expression in her face on that day which you saw?" Menaka knitted her brows together.

"I said to you it was only for few seconds that too only immediately after she entered into the house. When I returned from the doctor, she was all usual to me and we talked half an hour or so also. If she was raped or gang-raped I don't think that she could behave in such a way with me."
