Is forever for R.E.A.L?

Chapter 28- Plan in action

“Who are you?” her mother screamed staring at me with beady eyes.
“I am Esha’s friend.” I said.
“Esha.” Her mother screamed and called her. She arrived.
“Is he your friend?”
“Yes.”
“Why is he hiding here?”
“I will tell you everything. You remember Rehan?”
“Your friend? The one who died?”
“Yes. Dad killed him.”
The reaction was the same as we thought it would be. Esha’s mother had a face of shock and I tried my best to not think about soap opera channels and the Indian women in that.
“No. What do you mean?” Her mother asked with an expression of terror.
“I saw it. I saw a clip where he switched off the ventilator supporting Rehan. I already told you that man is mad and he can kill us.”
“Shut up. He just has temper problems. He is trying to change.”
“It’s not okay. And I am going to make him confess. And if you try to interrupt me in that, I won’t talk to you ever. You have to choose between me and dad.” Esha said and though we were shocked at her outburst, we were glad she said that. We couldn’t afford any intervention in the plan.
I heard Esha’s father’s car horn and I signalled everyone to hide. Also Esha had given me her old phone to record so I opened it and crept into the same place in which I was hiding before.
“Esha you called me?” her father asked.
“Yes.”
“What is it?”
“I know everything.”
“About?”
“Don’t you know what am I talking about?”
“Can you tell me everything fast? I have a damn meeting in two hours.” He said getting impatient.
“I know you killed Rehan.”
“What are you saying?” Her father asked with shocked and scared face.
“I know you killed him.”
“It’s not true beta.” He said showing fake love to Esha.
“I know you made that accident happen. Also you turned off the ventilator so that he would suffocate to death.”
“Who.. who told you that? It’s not tr.. true.” He stammered saying.
“If it weren’t true, you would have spoken confidently. Where is your ego, Mr Pratham Singh? Or should I say Mr Karim Khan?”
“Wh... who Karim? I don't know any Karim.” He stammered.
“How would you know? That name you have left behind years ago right?”
“What are you saying? And who told you all this?”
“I have my sources. You need not worry about it.”
“Tell me. And then I will tell you everything.”
“What will you tell?”
“What do you want to know?”
“Why did you do that? Why did you kill him?”
“If I hadn’t killed him, you wouldn’t he living here.”
“What? I don’t understand.”
“You know I am Karim so you may also know Rehan is my nephew.
“Yes. So?”
“My father always admired Adil, Rehan’s father. I was just a boulder for him. He never loved me. And this made me hate him. I started smoking and drinking and he didn’t allow me that also. I was with my friends smoking one day when he found me and started hitting me. My friends didn’t know he was my father and pushed him away.
“What did you do? Didn’t you stop them?”
“Why would I. That person had treated me like shit all my life. He deserved to be punished. He had thrown me out of my house. I threw his life out of him.” He said with a devilish grin. I was starting to get scared.
“You killed him?” Esha asked the nervousness evident in her voice. I hoped he didn’t notice it.
“Yes.”
“And no one knew.”
“Not at first. My stupid brother did some interrogation and found out, I killed dear daddy. And the next day when he was going to report me to police, he had an accident.” He smiled like a maniac and I realized he was one.
“You killed Rehan’s father too?”
“Yes. I did.”
“You are a beast.” Esha said with disgust in her voice.”
“I know that already. And you should have told your friends goodbye already.”
“What? Why?”
“Because this....” he started to say when my phone fell from my hand realising that he was going to kill Esha.
“Who's there? Whom have you sneaked in?” he thundered loudly staring at his daughter.
“I am.” Larry said and came out.
Larry signalled me to stay back and handed me his phone. The whole confession was recorded in it. Though it didn’t have anything about Rehan,  the content had enough to get the man arrested.
“You are that beggar boy right? So you are included in the plan too. So I guess it’s your last day too.” He said and went forward to clutch Larry’s neck.
And that’s when the police slammed the front doors and entered the room. Esha’s father was caught trying to murder Esha and Larry. We felt relieved. But none of us called the police. Esha’s mother was in front of us the whole time too. Who called the police?
