Windey's Pow:

I hobbled along the steps as I went into the police station. My eyes were searching for Rick and finally rested on a person standing helplessly. He seemed to be on edge. "Rick.." I shouted as I ran to him. I felt a 'let your hair down' kind of an expression on his face as soon as he saw me. He immediately changed from a state of happiness to a state of listen-to-me-carefully kind of a look. He managed to sigh 'Say yes to anything the police asks you' before the police came to me.

"You are windey right?" The police asked me. "Yes.."my voice almost quivered but I managed to act straight. "We doubt that your friend Rick is behind Sanvy's murder. But he claimed to be in your house on the night of the incident. What do you say about that?" He asked. I was like..what???? Did he just say what I heard?? I was in a state of confusion. Rick was not with me yesterday. If he is innocent he can prove his innocence in many ways. Why should he choose the wrong way? Why did he had to lie? What am I supposed to do? Should I say the truth or stay by my love of life? In such a chaos,  I decided to stand by Rick and I said "Yes..". "Can you tell me till what time he stayed in your house?" The police asked. Without a second thought I said "the whole night." The police gave me a look that literally meant i-know-you-are-lying and said "Fine. You both can leave now. But dont take much time to come here as soon as I call you. Be careful by the way. The truth is powerful enough to get exposed one day and that day will definitely become a nightmare to both of you" saying this he left.

We both came out. I am constantly looking at Rick expecting him to say something about what the hell have just happened. But he seemed less bothered about my looks. He got on his bike, gave me a stop-staring-at-me-and-get-on-the-bike kind of a look and started the bike. I sat and he drove at a speed that I had to hold myself tight so that I dont fly away. In less than few minutes we reached my home and "Rick..I think I need to talk to you" I said. "I know Windey. But I cant tell you anything right now. Just hold on to me. It was Winson doing this to me. I cant tell you anything more. But please trust me. Love you" he said and left.

I wanted to believe him but deep down inside something is telling me that something is wrong. Everything is unclear and unstable. Then a though flashed my mind. What if I call Winson and listen to his version? He wanted me to call him anyway. I can ask him directly if he is plotting anything against us and warn him to back-off.

I searched my pockets for the paper and dailed the number. Its ringing and my heart started beating fast. What if this was his another trick?? Pretending to be good and harm us. I decided to stay quiet until Rick himself opens up and was quickly about to end the call when "Hello Windey..I thought you would call me earlier." He said. "Why did you want me to call you?? To trick us again and push us into troubles?" I asked in anger. "I knew that Rick would say that this was my fault. But trust me Windey..he is not that kind of a guy who deserves your trust and love. Better stay away from him. I had known him my whole life and no one can predict his moves better than me. I knew that ye would kill Sanvy and accuse me in your mind. But thats not..". "Shut up Winson. Stop talking to me like that. You are in no position to talk about Rick. I knew that you spoiled his life earlier and will miss no chance to do the same again. Do you think I will become your bait?? Never.. I love him and will always trust him. You better back-off" I said interrupting his irritating lecture. "Fine then. You will know the truth sooner or later. That day you will regret for everything you did." Saying this he ended the call.

Such a sick person he is. What's wrong with him. Why is he troubling us? How can I save Rick from him? Many thoughts ran in my mind when "Windey..Windey.." its Max looking at me worried. "Where have you been?? We are worried about you." He said. "Why? What happened?" I asked.
"We admitted granny in the hospital" he said in a low voice. "What??? Why?? Is she alright?" I asked. "I dont think so Windey. She suddenly started vomiting blood and we had to move her to the hospital. Sifu is in the hospital with her." He said.

Life is strange. Its like a trouble attracts all the possible troubles of our lives and brings them to us all at a time. Granny on one side, Rick on another side, Winson on the other side and who knows what occupies the next side... But that 'what' showed up a little bit earlier in my life making it a complete mess....
