“Hi Talha, how are you?” The person from the other side spoke.

“Arzu Sheikh, how are you doing these days?” Talha stuttered in fear as Zeynep looked at him narrowing her eyes silently asking him to sound confident.

“How will I be after the death of my best friend?” They heard her sigh.

“You don’t need to pretend anymore Ms Sheikh, I know your doings very well.” Talha said trying to be as confident as possible.

“What do you mean?” Her voice got harsh all of a sudden which made the team smile as they looked at each other sensing the victory.

“You thought setting up all the evidence against me is going to make you escape? You thought I wouldn’t know what you are trying to do? You leave my ring at the apartment trying to trap me in the murder you did?” He yelled at her, as much as he was afraid at this time, he was truly livid over the trap he was set in.

The anger was definitely not an act.

“What nonsense is this? Who filled your mind with such delusional thoughts?” She yelled at him.

He looked at Zeynep wide eyed once again not knowing what to say anymore. She gave him a paper which had some instructions. She signaled him to read it out.

“The manager told me about the arrangements you made to prove me as the murderer” He spoke in the new found confidence.

“That deceiving man, I shouldn’t have trusted him!” She fumed as she tried to save herself from the possible destruction, “Get to the topic. What do you want?”

“10 Lacs, be at my apartment tomorrow morning at 9pm or else I will be going to the police station without a second thought.”

“Are you kidding me? 10 Lacs for you? Don’t forget that I know all about your other family, you’re not a pure angel either.” She snarled through the phone.

“I don’t care, I’m already going down because of this trap you set. If you don’t give me the money I will show the police all the evidence I have.” He harshly replied.

“I will be there.” She snapped from the other side throwing her phone in frustration.

“Can I go now?” Talha looked at the officers with pleading eyes after disconnecting the call.

Zeynep laughed as if he just told them a very hilarious joke. “Go where Mr. Yilmaz? You sure aren’t the murderer but you indeed committed a lot of crimes. You are under arrest for domestic violence, deceiving both of your families and also for giving false information to the police about your whereabouts. Hope you have a really good time in the jail, you can definitely make buddies there" She trailed off sarcastically.

That was indeed the end of Talha Yilmaz’s luxurious life.

The next day everyone was ready at the station along with their new prisoner who was now bound to work on their orders.

Life was laughing at Talha Yilmaz. The man who thought he could do anything was reduced to nothing but a puppet who worked on orders just the way he was told to.
