A few days back:
Ah the usual morning chai.
How much I love the morning routine.
Hitting the gym in the morning is so refreshing and a lemon chai after gym? Perfection.
As I sip the chai, I open up the newspaper, shaking my head at the "Fair And Lovely" ad in the front page.
As I read the headline, I froze for a few seconds.
As if on cue, the telephone rang.
"Reya, you must've read the newspaper" Mr. Maurya says.
"Yes and I was about to call you-"
"Get your ass in the office on Friday at 8"
"But sir, we don't have a head-"
"I've arranged the head detective. It is Mr. Dev Rathod."
"But sir isn't he-"
"Yes he is the head detective. This isn't a conversation we should be having on the phone. Get your ass to office on Friday. Koi bahana nahi chalega. (I won't take any excuses)"
"Yes sir"
"And better do some research. I'll brief you the plan today. Meet me in Hotel Gauri at about 9"
"Okay sir."
"Chalo. Gauri mein milte hain (Get going. Meet you in Gauri)"
"Ji sir. (Yes sir)"
The lemon chai lay untouched on the newspaper as I rushed inside to get changed.
The headline read "Gaurav Sen, who was let off by HC as not guilty of raping minor girl, found murdered"
