Her Name Is Maya

9

"Don't you reveal her name at any cost. They want scoop, TRP for the sake of their channel and I am not willing to sell her identity to such world" 
Rudra was talking on the phone with Shiva. The case name Maya was getting viral like the fire. Shiva was facing hard time handling the media and reporters at his police headquarter.

"But Rudra, she is dead. What's the problem revealing her name now? " He told Rudra.

"NO SHE ISN'T" Rudra shouted on phone. He was adamant on her living bodily presence. Revealing her name to the world might malign her presence. Which Rudra doesn't want it all. The main reason he changed the case name to Maya. Rudra was aware if he revealed her name then Media might write negative things about her as he never trusted his powerful lawyer father.

"Not again Rudra" Shiva sighed.

"I will say this again and again. She isn't dead. I have seen her. I have felt her presence. I have sensed her vibe. She is alive" Rudra took a turn on the road while talking on the phone.

"And what about your brother said during the hiring? " Shiva asked him.

"Listen Shiva, he is hiding some major shit. We are not even 1% closer to this case and no one is going to tell us anything about what happened that night. We can't trust on anyone. Not even my brother you getting my point? " Rudra told him.

"No I'm not getting your point. Isn't it clear? Manvi is dead. Your brother has accepted it then why you are not proceeding your case ahead. Just put the valid charges on it and shut it"

"Why you are so keen to shut this case? " Rudra asked him which made Shiva become silent.

"I...i said because I care for you" Shiva said.

" Thanks for your care Shiva. But this case isn't stopping here. There is something more in this case which I'm not getting it. How could it be so easy? Everyone is accepting her death just like that!! Even if I put the charges on Rishi he will be bailed easily you know why because MJ is  handling his case and you know the power he has got." Rudra told him.

"What are you planning Rudra?" Shiva asked him.

"To find out more about them. You have the information of Rishi's friends right? " Rudra asked.

"Yes I have"
Shiva said.

"Cool, take them to custody. I'm coming there " Rudra said and cut the call. Shiva looked tensed. Rudra left the court area and went to the graveyard. He saw her family united there for her burial. With a heavy heart, Rudra was walking towards them. There was nothing on his face but inside he was shaken. He stood little far from them and took part in the last ceremony. He walked ahead towards Kiara's family. Whilst passing through the crowd, he accidentally hit on a woman who was wearing black clothes and black hat.
Rudra whispered sorry without looking at the woman and went ahead.
He pulled out the white Rose from his blazer and kept it on Kiara's grave. He gulped hard.
Whatever has happened with her Rudra couldn't forget. In the court he remained calm but now he was getting furious. Is it so easy for anyone to rape any girl and take her life? It was making him to feel disgusted. He knelt there for a while praying for her easy departure. It wasn't her fault, he has known and he was taking all blame of it.

"I shouldn't have involved you in this case Kiara" He started talking the grave. "I will not let anyone escape that easily. You will get justice" He promised her and got up. Suddenly he heard the ringing sound of a phone. His eyes scanned the surrounding. Then realised the sound was coming from near him. He started checking his pockets and his hands touched on a mobile. He pulled it out and saw it his missing phone. It was still ringing. He pressed the green button and held it near his ear.
For a while no one talked.
