FLASHLIGHT

CH25 Abhiram

'What are these 'I said looking at some kind of small wooden boxes in the corner . 

It was 11 pm and after a tiring search me and Suresh had finally reached Ishan's room after searching and scanning through each and every room in the house except Ishani's we thought searching it in the end . Searching for an evidence and keeping the thing back in place was feeling like we were doing Diwali cleaning . Although each corner of the house was neat and clean Suresh was taking this opportunity to compliment Champa on keeping such a huge mansion clean . Champa was blushing continuously . 

Ishan's room was well furnished , I think he must be into vintage stuff his room was also vintage . There were old fashioned switch boards and chairs and table surprisingly his room consist of candle lamps and lamps all over the house except blubs . I wondered how this house would look at nights when he would just light candles instead of blubs . These boxes were also very cute we opened one of them .

'Heeeeee' he giggled .

'what ?' I asked 

'A naked photo of Ishan Malhotra ' he said .

'Oh' I took the box from his hand and flipped it open on the bed ,smalls photos fell from it , these were the only memories which lied on the bed once where he slept peacefully and now he has slept forever .

I picked up one of the photos from the bed . A slight grin came on my face . Suresh immediately grabbed the pic from my hand . 

'Oh ' he said . 

'Ya I think Ishani was a newly born child ' I said .

'Ya and look at Ishan how he is standing on his tip toes seeing his newly born sister .'

'She looks magnificent here also ' I said picking up another pic where Ishani was a bit grown up crawling on the floor and her mom was running behind her. 

'Ya and so will your daughter .......if you marry her .'

I looked at him and shifted him aside and dramatically went walking towards the window .

'what are you looking Abhi'

'I am seeing where the  sun has risen today ' 

He pulled me away from the window .

'Abhi don't misunderstand me I just don't want your heart to break .'

'Yhe maar khane sai pehele nahi bol sakta tha (you couldn't say this before getting beatings from me )'

'Wa you are blaming me Abhi but you had got so blind in love that to bring you back to our goal I am ready to get beaten up a billion times .'

'Ha but beaten up reminded me did you inform the police about the attack .'

'Ya I did but they said its normal in my profession .'

'So you investigated ?' I asked 

'Ya and also brought some evidences I hope it helps '

'Oh cool show me after we are done .'

We went back to our case but the photos lying on the bed tempted me to see all the beautiful memories of the Malhotra's especially how my future daughter will look .
