"Come in." Neil said. He was still on duty. He sank into his chair to the deepest limit. His head was in his hands. His head was throbbing like anything due to thinking what Dd just said. He was in a trance, thinking about all the past happenings of eight months. He came back to his senses due to the sudden knock on the cabin door. He looked up, blinking a few times to shed away or remove the stains of the unshed tears. "Cassendra,you!" He had a panic in his voice. Cassendra was the jailer of the jail in which his Av was kept. His heart jumped at the thought that she might be here to tell something wrong in the jail. He began to think that something might have happened to her. He shook the thought. Be positive. She's brave enough to deal with everything. Okay?! His mind told him.
"Wha...what happ.. happened?" The words came out as a small voice. "Sir?" She asked back unable to understand. "What happened?" He asked again this time more sternly. "Sir I wanted to ask something.. Actually take a permission." She said. Neil did not give back a reply. He just nodded. Seeing this as a gesture she hurriedly continued. " I want a holiday sir, for three weeks. Christmas is approaching. Mom wants me back for more time. If I could.." "Cassendra but what about the jai.." He stopped midway. An idea just struck his mind. If she goes I could volunteer for the duty of the jail. This way I will be able to see her. Finally got a chance Dumbo. Grasp it. Let her go! " You go. I'll take over the duty for the time being. Enjoy Christmas. We rarely get time to spend with our family." Saying this he thought about what Neela ma said this morning you rarely spent time with her Neil. He didn't want anyone else to get in the same situation. "Thank you so much Sir. Merry Christmas!!" Saying this she went out. Neil literally laughed. Not at her antics but with the thought of meeting her. After so manyy months. He quickly grabbed all his belongings and rushed out. He went to his car and quickly drove to Neela Ma's place..

"Sir, Neil Khanna is going to that jail."
"Stop him then you fools. He cannot." "Sir, this time he has a valid reason. We can't stop him." "But he will meet her then." Saying this Vidyut slammed the counter of his kitchen that everyone near him shook. "Go. But keep me updated." His guards nodded hesitantly.
"NEELA MA....MAA" He came in shouting at the top of his voice. "Where are you?" "Coming bacha." She replied while hurriedly coming to the hall. Neil went and quickly hugged her and started jumping like a small kid getting a toffee finally after many attempts. Neela started laughing. "What happened? Saw a ghost or her?" " I..I am going to meet her... See her.. for three weeks. Full." He said. Excitement was clearly visible on his face. "I am in her room. Make something good please. Party time!" Saying this he ran while half jumping. Neela sighed heavily. "In order to be a mother to him,to make him stress-free, my own daughter got punished so badly. I failed. I am sorry Avni. I don't know what you are going to do when you see him,please don't hurt him please." Saying this she went to the kitchen. She was about to turn on the stove when she got a phone call. She picked it up. Unknown. The voice said
V-"Hello? Neela?"
Hearing the voice Neela jumped all of a sudden. She was so shocked. Tears were streaming down her cheeks continuously. Her insides had mixed emotions in them. Most significant of them was anger.
N-"YOU... You a..are al....alive!?"
V-" um well that's why I am speaking right?"
N-" finally remembered us have you! When she's not with us now. What do you want. Obviously you wouldn't show up after so many years like that only. What's that you want?" She was shouting nown
V-" Why did you do this to her? Haan? Tell me. Why? She trusted you upon her life. Why then?"
N- " You don't speak only! What did you ever do to her. Answer me! Don't blame me. It was necessary"
V- "It wasn't. That IPS is more important to you. I am coming. Back. To her. She has none left to call as 'her own'."
N-" no don't. Please don't. She'll break even more."
The person cut the call.
"NO! DON'T!PLE..PLEASE!"
She sat on her knees and began crying hardly. Hearing her screams Neil ran upto her. " Ma what?what happened?"
He panicked. "He's... he's alive." "Who" his voice was small. "She'll be dead Neil if she sees him. We have to stop him." "But who?" And her reply shook him completely.
