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.

"Very important information. It may lead us to somewhere." Looking at in her cell phone what Menaka got in Sukanya's home, Smaran said.

"Now we are even more sure that Nirupama was troubling with something by the time of her death."

"You are right." Smaran nodded his head.

"What that bloody thing she was suffering with." Menaka murmured "Surely that was what led her to commit suicide?"

"Ninety percent to be so."

Smaran said again. "If we take Sukanya's words, it had happened fifteen days or so before her committing suicide."

"Very first time.....uncontrollable feeling.....these are the words Sukanya used when she saw this writing." Menaka said. "She is positively sure that Nirupama's trouble started from that day.

"That was the day she came early to the home. There was no college to her....some boycott or what .........."

"Some boycott .........Sukanya inquired and she told me."

Smaran got off from the chair and went middle of the room. "I am hundred percent feeling it like that Menaka....If there was no boycott ....or if she had not come home early like that .....she might not have committed suicide at all."

"I am also feeling in the same way, uncle." Menaka thumped on the table with her hand. "Something ....something ....happened in her home on that day which .... alright." Menaka nodded her head.

"Talk with that boy again. I am thinking it was the same day tht he found Nirupama like that. Something...something ...he might have forgotten to tell you. He may know something worth remember to tell you."

"Alright I will do that" Menaka said.

"You said that you would hypnotize me. But you have forgotten about it completely." Nirmala said to Menaka.

"Oh! I am sorry. I forgot it, of course." Menaka suddenly remembered her promise to the old woman. "When do you want to be hypnotized then?"

"Now itself. We both are free and there is no one to disturb us." She said.

"Alright then. Which is the best place to hypnotize you?"

"My bedroom itself. Nirupama used to hypnotize me in the chair in my bedroom."

"Then I also hypnotize you in that very place. Come, we go into your bedroom then."

Menaka and Nirmala went into the bedroom and Nirmala placed herself in the only chair there. It was such type of a chair in which one can happily sleep also.

"I think you know the procedure to be got hypnotized as your daughter hypnotized you many a time before."

"Yes. I know the procedure". Nirmala nodded her head.
