''Sir he really needs his medicine. Please can I meet him for just few minutes?''

Manek doesn't pay attention to the boy's pleas and continues munching on farsaan (Indian snack). Though the boy is continuously pleading him for half an hour and he is annoyed by his clueless behaviour. Why can't he understand that every service needs payment. He finally puts aside his snack and glares at him for a few minutes, not bothering to observe his appearance.

''What's your problem? Do you have brain issues? I explained to you once that he is suspect for a murder case and is not aloud to meet anyone."

He schools him in harsh manner and hopes this time he cracks the behavior code and he will be able to learn.

''But Sir, he has a migraine problem and if he won't get these medicines he might be able to drag you to the hospital. Please Sir. I beg you....''

The boy finally starts to beseech. But his begging doesn't make any difference to Manek's attitude. Finally he is also fed up with boy so he tries his blunt card.

''If it's so important then I can do you a favour....'' Manek offers deal to him while looking down trifling with papers.

''Really? Thank you so much. I have no words....''

Boy lights up with happy hint and is smiling like a soft toy.

''Yeah, but you know in exchange you have to offer me something."

And with it he tries his last stroke. Boy finally got it and he is staring at him in disgust. He takes out note of one hundred and places it on the table in front of Manek.

''Four more of this....''

He blurts out without any sign of shame. Boy follows his command as he is leftout without any choice.

''Havaldaar! Take him to that newly binded guess of our....''

He orders with mockery loaded in his every word. The boy is throwing daggers towards him as just waiting for someone to order him to butcher Manek and he will gladly do it without any hesitation but he needs to be composed or his purpose to be here will be ruined.

Finally he sees Anuj sitting in front of gate his back against the wall and his head on his knees....

Anuj's POV

The pounding of wood on the metal bar breaks my nap. When I lift my head up to find the source of the noise an unbelievable sight catches my view.

''Hey you! You have a visitor and you both have only five minutes so hurry up.''

Constable takes in my shocked state and I stand up to compose myself to meet my visitor, the same mysterious boy from court but what is he doing here?

''Anuj ... are you ok?'' He inquires about my status with concern. Again I mark the same thing in his eyes which I first noticed in court but just for a few seconds and then his eyes are like a blank page as if every time he writes something on it secretly and then erases it without any traces. I nod in reply, than I notice he is holding something in his hand.

''Anuj, these are your medicines. Your mother sent it for you so please do check it for once okay?''

Reading my puzzled expression he gives me a white plastic bottle. I observe it and then look back to him and he does something strange. He looks at the metal netted window which is not a very easy view for him as it is in the corner. When he sees me he looks at me then bottle then again at window while blabbering something about jail and my mother and he repeats that action for three times. I don't understand his signs but I get he is giving me some signs. So I nod to assure him that I got his arrow direction. He understands my gesture and mimics me with a smile.

''So I think I should leave now. I'll visit you later, bye.''

He shrugs and leaves. His voice is strange. I look to his retreating figure and sigh and then set my view to Constable to confirm he didn't get our hints. He is in his own world while walking with him. I turn to try and solve the puzzle and repeat his action but I don't get anything.

Aaahhh welcome to the digging and sleepless night....
