The game of chess is like a reality check. You never know who strikes and when they strike. Either you die, or you win!
Life, as harsh as it may sound is the same battle.
Neither is anything wrong nor is anything absolutely right.
CHECKMATE, is t...
"Pallavi...I see you're leading a good life!" Taunted Pratap with a smirk over his lips as he leaned against the doorframe.
"Who are you?" She asked immediately, still holding the door open.
"Pratap Sisodya, advocate to Mukesh Chauhan." He smiled and the girls eyes went wide with horror.
"Th...that case is closed!" She exclaimed immediately and tired to slam the door on his face but he simply pushed it open.
"It's reopened and...this time you will rot in prison." He cautioned, corking his head to the left.
"I was the victim...." She replied immediately.
"Pallavi weren't you working as the CM's cook for five years and then....one fine day who make a big show saying you've been raped by your boss!"
"I was... repeatedly raped by him." She replied glaring at Pratap who chuckled shaking his head and folded his arms across his chest.
"I've heard you...check out sights for sleeping with people." Began Pratap. "Before any rape allegations...you slept with...who was the dude...some Tom...from God knows where..."
Pallavi was trembling now but still boldly lied. "I can do whatever I want. You can't judge me based on whom I have relationships with. I was raped by the ex CM and his semen was found in me...."
"Tell me....what exactly happened that night." Demanded Pratap with firm look across his face.
"Why should I...?" She retorted and Pratap turned around and pointed to a female cop behind him. "You see her, she is inspector Yukti and if you don't talk you are going to have it."
The female inspector smirked at the girl and said, "Begin before you get a slap."

Pallavi gulped the lump in her throat and began, "I...I...was in the CM's home since I had work...and to...to...get a folder I went to his bedroom...th...that's when it happened."
"Have you forgotten your own miserable story?" Taunted Pratap. "Your statement as per the case is that the CM barged into your home with few goons and....raped you."
"Umm...it...it happened five years ago....I...I didn't remember." She muttered shuddering in fright.
Both Pratap and the inspector were scaring the hell out of her and she didn't know how to react. The inspector stepped forward and narrowed her eyes at the girl and said, "This is the first rape victim who has forgotten her own story."
"That's because she's lying and her statement is not correct either. On that night, she wasn't even raped."
"I was...I was." Insisted Pallavi.
"Details." Insisted Pratap. "Details of the act please."
"B...by...law y...you can't make me speak about it again. I...I'm not comfortable."
