Burning Souls : A Touch of Darkness & Desires

"About Ruhi Rajnandan. It wasn't an accident. She was ra*ed and then murdered."

"WHAT?" I shouted at the top of my lungs. A cold wave washed over me and breath knocked out of my lungs.

She was murdered

She was raped.

Fuck

I knew it wasn't as simple as it looked, it was not an accident —--- it was as murder, a brutal way to kill her soul by shattering her dignity.

I clenched my jaw, fisted my palm and tilted my head while looking at Bakhtawar. He looked at me with his cold eyes but lowered his gaze only to give me another shock.

"Someone faked the post-mortem report of her death, saying that it was an accident due to which she died." He paused for brief and gulped down the lump formed in his throat to continue. "She was brutally raped. Her feminine organs were damaged so critically that she couldn't make her life possible."

I shut my eyes closed and licked my dried lips. I sat on the sofa nearby and palmed my face with both hands. This news hit me like a physical blow, leaving me furious and shocked.

How can someone be so cruel to do sins like this?

How can they snatch someone's soul?

How much pain she must have been through?

I know, I'm a heartless woman but I never thought of shattering someone's soul in this way. No one has a right to touch a woman without their consent but here she was raped.

My lungs churned with rage. I wish I could kill them all myself.

Ruhi Rajnandan was the first daughter of the Rajnandan family before Prisha. But she died mysteriously. Till now nobody knows about her death, I don't know how?

It's been more than fifteen years since I've seen her. She was a sunshine girl, warm smile as far as I know.

I knew something was wrong from the very beginning. But still couldn't get any proof about this. No one could get through it.

She was in pain, in terror, god knows how much pain she must've endured.

Fuck.

Bakhtawar put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and asked him. "So no one knows about this in the Rajnandan family?"

He shook his head. "No one knows about her molestation because doctors faked the reports." I stood up and was about to ask him but he interrupted. "But Karnish got to know about this and he killed all the doctors of that hospital and even burnt down the whole hospital."

I smiled. Even though I hate him but I fucking proud of him for this. But those doctors deserved a painful death.

"But why would they want to change the reports?" I asked him.

He forwarded the file. "These are her real reports from about twelve years ago. If someone could make the doctors change their reports then it must be someone powerful or really close enough to Rajnandan to manipulate the goddamn situation."

"And Karnish still hasn't been able to catch them."

I open the file which Bakhtawar has given me. I looked at every detail written on it and shut my eyes close to the pain she had suffered.

"But..." I looked at him, asking him to continue. "But after that her family erased her details, from media to publications, not even a single photo they had spare. There's not a single trace of a girl named Ruhi Rajanandan as if she never existed. They erased her whole existence."
