The next morning, Anokhi stood confidently in front of her psychology class, scribbling notes on the whiteboard. Her students listened intently as she explained the intricacies of cognitive behavioral therapy.

Just as she was about to elaborate on a key point, the door swung open, and the school's peon, Pandey ji, entered with a curious expression.

"Ma'am, sorry to interrupt," Pandey ji said, his voice low, "but someone has come to see you."

Anokhi's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering who it could be. "Who?" she asked.

Pandey ji hesitated before responding, "I don't know, ma'am. They didn't give their name. But they left this letter for you."

He handed Anokhi a crisp, white envelope with her name typed on it. The paper felt heavy, and the texture seemed luxurious.

"Thank you, Pandey ji," Anokhi said, her curiosity piqued.

As Pandey ji left, Anokhi turned the envelope over in her hands, studying it. Who could be sending her mysterious letters?

She slipped her finger under the seal and opened the envelope, pulling out the contents.

Inside, she found two grainy photographs. Her heart skipped a beat as she recognized the faces - the goons involved in the traumatic case five years ago.

A chill ran down her spine. What did this mean?

A typed note accompanied the photos:

"These are the ones who started it all. They're no longer a problem.

Wait and see, the others will follow."

No signature, no explanation.

Anokhi's mind reeled. Was this a threat or a message from someone seeking justice?

She felt a shiver run down her spine. Who was behind this? And what did they mean by "the others"?

She quickly tucked the photos and note back into the envelope, trying to maintain her composure.

"Let's continue the lesson," Anokhi said, attempting to sound calm.

But her mind was already racing with questions and fears.
