"Where's my daughter Raghav?"
Raghav clenched his eyes shut,knowing he had to tell
her the truth "She is gone Kalpi...Panther took
her away..the real Panther"
"P-Panther?" she gasped.
Raghav nodded,looking away.Kalpana ran to Raghav and
bunched his shirt in her fists "WHERE'S MY
DAUGHTER RAGHAV?" she screamed "I WANT MY
DAUGHTER BACK..NOW"
"K-Kalpi please calm do-"
"NO,I AM NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN..YOU
LISTEN..BRING BACK MY DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW
OR ELSE I'LL-"
The ring of Raghav's phone interrupted her.Raghav
grabbed his phone and gulped seeing it was
'unknown'.He looked at Kalpana "I-It's Panther"
Kalpana grabbed Raghav's phone "WHERE THE HELL
IS MY DAUGHTER?" she screamed.
Panther chuckled "A bit sensitive,are we?"
"JUST TELL ME"
Panther rolled his eyes "Calm down crazy woman...I
am willing to give you your daughter back to you
when I get my immunity papers"
"Immunity papers" repeated Kalpana.
"Yes..in exchange for your daughter,I want my
freedom"
Kalpana pursed her lips "Well you're not getting it"
"Then forget about seeing your daughter"
Kalpana could sense Panther was about to cut the
call and stopped him "Wait"
"What?" he said annoyed.
"I...I am ready to arrange your papers" agreed
Kalpana.
"That's a good girl" Kalpana rolled her eyes "I will
send a man to the hospital with the child in an
hour..He'll come directly to you and you exchange
with him"
"Fine"
**********************************************************
An hour passed with Kalpana's heart racing with each
second.She just wanted her child back.Raghav was no
less.He was not only worried for Sneha but also for
Kalpana considering she had just given birth and
should rest but Kalpana was adamant.They had a
plan.They had arranged fake immunity papers so it
would be a win-win situation.Raghav had finally
managed to get Kalpana to take some rest and she
fell asleep.Half an hour later,a man came forward
to Kalpana with a child,fully covered in a shawl,in his
arms.He looked around noticing she was asleep and
turned around when he felt a pat on his
shoulder.He turned around and faced Raghav.Raghav
looked at the child in his arms but frowned when
he couldn't see her face "Papers" ordered the
man.
Raghav clenched his jaw and shoveded the fake
papers in his hand.The man gently put the child in
Raghav's arms and left.The doctor then came
"Mr.Singhania,would you like me to give a check up
to your daughter"
Raghav nodded wanting to make sure she was
okay.The doctor gently took the child from his
arms and went to the check up room.Raghav stayed
in the room to make sure everything was properly
done.He frowned seeing the doctor block Sneha
from his eyes.The doctor sighed and covered the
child's face with it's shawl.He turned around to
face Raghav.Raghav's frown deepened when he
noticed the expression on the doctor's face.The
doctor picked up the child and handed her to Raghav
"I am so sorry Mr.Singhania"
"W-what d-do you m-mean?" asked Raghav,his
heart's beat racing a bit too fast.
"She's no more"
Raghav lost his breath.He could not believe his first
child.His daughter of only a few hours was dead.He
looked down at the child who's face was
covered.Raghav just couldn't believe it.His heart
kept telling him it was a lie but his mind told him
otherwise.Raghav looked up at the doctor "A-are
you s-sure"
The doctor nodded sadly "There's no heartbeat or
pulse" He left.
'How am I going to tell Kalpi' thought Arnav,a
tear slipping his eye 'She won't be able to bear
it'.Raghav wanted to remove the cloth on the child's
face but feared if he would be able to even see
it.Somewhere in his heart he felt it was his fault
'If only I hadn't given you away to that nurse' he
thought 'If only I had been selfish enough to keep
you to myself'
"Raghav" called out Kalpana.Raghav turned around and
found Kalpana in her hospital gown,standing at the
doorway "Is that Sneha" she whispered,looking at
the covered child in his arms.She walked up to him
happy but then frowned "Why is she covered"
Raghav gulped "K-Kalpi...she..she's...Sneha's...she
gone"
"What do you mean?"
"P-Panther k-killed her"
Kalpana shook her head "No..it can't be..I would
know if something horrible like that happened to
her.Show me"
Kalpana grabbed the child from Raghav and
uncovered her.She gasped and looked at Raghav
"I..I knew it...it's not her"
Raghav looked at Kalpana shocked and looked at the
child.She was right.It wasn't her.Raghav's phone
rang and he didn't have to check the id to know
who it was "Panther" he growled.
Panther chuckled "I hope you guys liked my
present..you see I knew your dear wife couldn't
have agreed that easily.I knew she would give some
fake papers so to return her favor,I sent her a
fake child"
"What are you talking about Panther?The child's
very much real"
"Of course she is..but she isn't in this world
anymore so she is officially fake"
Raghav gritted his teeth "Damn you Panther"
