CHAPTER 8 : One Step Closer
"They say that nature creates a balance, always.
If there is crime, then there is also justice.
God sees the truth, but waits!
And we are all, but puppets in His hands!"
-Anuradha
---------
The Shekhawat mansion was eerily quiet, the lush green garden stood as the last reminiscent of Ramu chacha's love of this place!
Randhir got off the limo and immediately was surrounded by the media, firing away questions related to the 'speculated' murder.
"Sir, do u think that the murder is somehow connected to the fact that you have taken over the foundation?" asked one reporter.
"Sir, can u please elaborate your relation to the murdered man?" asked another.
And the questions kept pouring. But Randhir Shekhawat kept mum. His eyes never left the building that now seemed like an alien place to him...His home!
"Please excuse Mr Shekhawat...He is really in a somber mood at the moment" explained prof vardhan to the prying journalists and gently lead Randhir inside.
The entire house was now under police custody. As soon as Randhir stepped inside, his uncle came forward to embrace him. The other board members were there as well. Ishita's and Karan's dad led the forensic team which had arrived to inspect the crime scene!
Randhir had to bite his lips hard in order to prevent the tears from spilling. He could sense the concern of the people around him.
"Beta we haven't yet started with our investigation. We were waiting for u...If u want to ...U know..." said Mr Mittal (Ishita's dad) quietly.
Randhir merely nodded, his voice failing him.
"He's over here Randhir..." called out his uncle. Randhir followed Dinesh Shekhawat, all the while wondering why anyone would murder Ramu chacha, unless this wasn't just a mere murder. His inhibitions were proved correct the moment Dinesh pointed at the room where the body was recovered.
His father's study.
Randhir stepped inside and averted his eyes immediately. There on the floor, right next to the book-rack, lay the still motionless and pale body of Ramu chacha, a slit in the neck being the only visible sign of injury.
Randhir composed himself. He was a doctor in the making. He couldn't let 'death' affect him, not even death of his loved ones. He stepped towards the body and took a closer look.
"What's this?" he thought as he inspected the slit.
"Randhir, we can leave if you don't feel too good" suggested his uncle.
"No uncle, I want to stay...i need a few moments" he replied.
And Dinesh Shekhawat stepped out of the room and gave Randhir his privacy.
As soon as he was alone, Randhir began inspecting the wound intently, careful not to make any contact with the body and tamper with the evidence.
"This isn't any ordinary murder...this was done by someone who is very familiar with the human-body structure...He slit the corotid artery knowing very well that it would kill the person with seconds...This was the work of a surgeon..." he concluded.
The pieces were slowly starting to fit. The missing folder, Ramu chacha's murder and the death of his parents...all these events had a connection. Randhir realized with a jolt why Ramu chacha had been targetted. Whoever was behind this must tried to break into the Shekhawat mansion in order to retrieve something. Ramu chacha must have tried to hinder and that got him killed. Or else why would he be killed in a room that was Dr. Harsh Shekhawat's private chamber?
"It all fits...except...the folder was already missing...Means someone was looking for something else...But what?" questioned Randhir to himself.
His eyes suddenly fell on a paper sticking out of Ramu chacha's shirt-pocket. He hesitated for a moment before taking it out carefully. It was an envelope marked "To Randhir Shekhawat".
His hands trembled as he saw his own name outside the envelope. What could this mean? He was about to tear it open when he heard footsteps coming towards the room.
"Randhir, are u done?" came Prof Vardhan's voice.
Like a flash, Randhir stuffed the envelope into his pocket and walked out of the room.
He was still shaken from what he witnessed inside. He now knew the reason behind his parents' murder.
Professional rivalry.
-------
"Are u ok?" asked vardhan, eyeing him with caution.
"I'm fine sir" he replied. By now Ishita, Parth, Smriti & Karan had also arrived and were standing with their parents. The police had cordonned off the entire area and kept the media at bay.
"U need to address them once. You are afterall the foundation head now. And he was like ur family...The media will talk if u don't make a press-conference.." adviced Vardhan.
Randhir knew his professor was right and so he walked over to the journalists and answered their questions. He also made a small statement, "The man found dead in the Shekhawat mansion was Ramachandra Waghmare aka Ramu chacha, as i used to call him. He was the caretaker of the house and the man who helped me become what I'm today despite having become an orphan at 10. I'm deeply saddened by his death. But i vow to search out the people behind this and bring justice to his soul. Investigations are still on regarding who might be behind this, but nothing is certain as of now. Thank u."
As he walked out of the press-conference with elegance, Prof Vardhan watched his student from afar and saw in him the potential to be an 'inspirational doctor' and a 'motivator' some day!
------
"How do u feel?" asked Ishita on their ride back to FMC. Randhir had been unusually quiet and no one bothered him for they knew that he was hurting inside.
"Did uncle say anything about who might have been behind this?" he asked her.
She shook her head and replied, "No...they were waiting for u to see him before they took him for autopsy...but i will ask him to let me know...Ok?"
Randhir nodded. He felt strangely empty.
But he now knew what he was up against. And it made him go a step closer to unfolding the mystery of his parents' murder.
It was dusk by the time they reached FMC and prof Vardhan told Randhir to go to his room and relax.
"The police are onto this. U don't need to worry yourself...Take rest" said the prof.
The gang of friends went to their respective dorm-rooms, all of them lost in their own chain of thoughts.
One out of them thought, "This is getting messier. The police, the media...How long can we stay out of their radar?"
------
-The Next Day-
Sanyukta Agarwal sat in her dorm-room recalling the scene in the canteen. The news channels were flashing Randhir's statements and were making all kinds of speculations. But what Sanyukta couldn't understand was why a mere 'helper' of the Shekhawat mansion would suddenly be murdered, unless this wasn't related to some theft or dacoity.
Suddenly the warden called out her name.
"Sanyukta, Vardhan sir tumhe bula rahein hain apne office mein..."
Sanyukta was puzzled. Why was sir calling her all of a sudden?
She quickly got dressed and rushed towards Prof vardhan's chamber. She peeked inside it and found Randhir standing there.
Frowning in confusion, she said meekly, "Sir, may i come in?"
"Come in Miss Agarwal, we were waiting for u..."
"Is something wrong sir?" she asked.
"Funny u ask that Miss Agarwal, considering that everything is wrong!"
Sanyukta's brain clicked and comprehension dawned on her face.
"I'm really sorry fo-.."
"Spare me apologies Sanyukta...What's this? You are a student of FMC...and you got none of the answers right! Despite the fact that your partner has a perfect score! I want an explanation...right now..."
Sanyukta glanced at Randhir, who had a nonchalant expression on his face.
"Sir, he..." but she couldn't go on. What was she supposed to say? That like an utter fool she fell into her partner's trap? Or that she was smitten by the Rank 1 and believed him blindly?
Sanyukta hung her head in shame, while all the anger that she had bottled up, came rushing back.
"Sanyukta Agarwal, if u want to survive med-school, then buck up I say...Start doing something productive...Now get lost from my office.."
Sanyukta was about to leave silently, but something stopped her. She felt an inner voice telling her to make a stand.
"Sir", she said firmly, "I want to change my partner."
Both Vardhan & Randhir were shocked at her sudden proposal. Randhir was throwing daggers at her direction, while Prof Vardhan simply stared at both of them curiously.
"Sanyukta, this isn't some primary school that you'll change partners at will. Randhir is the top ranker and after the horrendous performance that u have given in this test, it's clear that u need help..."
"But sir randh-.."
"No buts Sanyukta. Randhir got all the answers correct. And everyone else has done ok as well...no one would be willing to trade partners with u...Now leave!"
Sanyukta realized that there was no point in arguing anymore.
"I'm sorry sir. I will perform better the next time" she said and left.
"Randhir, u do realize that I don't play preferences, right?" Prof vardhan asked him with a knowing look.
Randhir nodded and said curtly, "Won't happen again sir."
As vardhan watched him leave, he was strangely reminded of two other people back from his med-school days.
-----
Randhir walked out of Prof vardhan's room only to be stopped by a soft hand with a firm grip.
"I want to know why u did that..." she said without preamble.
He pulled his hands away from her grip and replied coldly, "I'm in no mood to give u any explanation."
He was about to walk away when Sanyukta blocked his path.
"I don't care if u have lost someone dear to u yesterday...But I want to know what ur problem is with me?"
It was Randhir's turn to retort, "I don't have a problem with u...My problem is 'u'...So why don't u just back off and let me be?"
"LET U BE?" she bellowed suddenly, her eyes fiery, "U made Vardhan sir think that I'm a bloody loser...And u want me to LET U BE?"
Randhir's patience was at it's brink, "What do u want? U want me to grovel on the ground and apologize? Because that ain't happening...U encroached my territory...Consider this pay-back.."
Sanyukta was aghast. The guts this guy had!
"No...this time u won't have it your way...Tell me...Why is it that u and ur 'pack' are so hell bent in making my life miserable? What have I done to u all? Is it because I don't hail from a wealthy family? Or because you guys are spineless and know only how to vilify the weak? Which is it?"
"Have u ever considered the possibility that may be my friends taunt you because of your 'know-it-all' attitude? Keep your philosophies to yourself..." he reprimanded her.
"Oh yeah? MY ATTITUDE? What about your snide remarks? Yes, i admit what i said that day was wrong...But I was drunk...I didn't have coherence of mind...had I been in the right state, I would NEVER have uttered any of those things..." she spat aggresively.
Randhir's ears picked up her last sentence. Out of the blue his temper flared and before he could stop himself, he said, "Really? Who knows what a girl of your character is capable of doing..."
*SLAP*
The sound of the blow echoed through the corridor as both Randhir & sanyukta stood numb.
Before she knew, Sanyukta had smacked him across his face, her eyes brimming with unshed tears, his jibe having stabbed her heart and punctured it deep. Randhir Shekhawat stood still for a moment, his rational thinking failing him. He wanted to strangle the girl before him. But somehow gathered himself together and kept his wrath from taking over his sanity.
"How dare u?" he breathed out through gritted teeth, his fists curled into a ball. Sanyukta gulped and recoiled. She had never meant to slap him. But his words forced the reaction. And this time she wasn't ready to apologize.
"How-Dare-You?" he reiterated and stepped closer. She backed off.
"R-ran-d-dhir..", she stammered, "Woh...please..."
For the first time she felt scared of him. He looked murderous. She knew she had crossed the limit, but it was provoked and just happened.
He caught her wrist and twisted it hard. She cried out in pain. He punched the wall right behind her, his curled fist going right past her face. She flinched in fear.
"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT RIGHT NOW..." he said slowly and emphasizing each word, "Go before i hit u out of your senses..."
He released her wrist and she took one last look at him before fleeing.
Randhir stood shaking at the spot and then turned around to make sure no one had seen what just happened. But the corridor was empty, thankfully.
He swore and punched the wall again. He inhaled and exhaled a few times in an effort to calm his senses before checking the time and realizing that labs were started in 10 minutes. He dashed towards his room to his stuff.
Both Parth & Karan had already gone to the dissection hall. Randhir picked up his bag when his eyes fell on the envelope from the previous night.
He had tried to read it the night before, but with Parth and Karan prowling the room, he decided it was best to read it later, in solitude. But then sleep had overpowered his senses and he forgot all about it.
He had an urge to open it now, but then he would be late for labs. And so, he stuffed it into his bag and rushed out.
-----
Sanyukta was still numb from what she had just done. Her right hand suddenly didn't feel like her own.
She sat down in the stairs and wept silently. She didn't know what to do. She didn't get why he behaved so rudely with her.
It was time for labs and this was the moment she dreaded. Lab was one time when she couldn't evade him. Sanyukta gathered her bag and walked towards the dissection hall, praying that he would somehow just neglect her and not make a scene.
She entered the hall to find the students already in their places. Prof Vardhan had just given them an assignment. They were to calibrate the different bones and organs and make a chart and compare it with the others.
Sanyukta took her place next to Randhir who didn't look up and continued making sutures on the cadaver. She took a calliper and started measuring on her own. And the entire 40 minutes, the two partners worked in pin-drop silence, both too angered to even glance at the other.
The lab ended and Sanyukta was about to go to Kaustuki when Vidushi make a sudden movement and stumbled to where Sanyukta stood. The impact made Sanyukta lose her balance and she tried to hold the table for support. But instead, she caught hold of a bag that was kept on the table and fell to the ground pulling the bag with her. Vidushi landed on top of her with a loud thud.
"Ouch" sanyukta cringed as she hurt her knee. The bag she pulled down with her flung out of her arms and all its contents landed on the floor scattered. Sanyukta's eye caught the name on one book.
"Randhir Shekhawat"
"SHIT! Oh no...god...Ab toh 'm doomed" she thought horrified.
She quickly started gathering all the stuff and kept mumbling apologies.
Vidushi too panicked and said, "OMG! randhir i am so sorry...i lost balance..."
But randhir had already gathered the fallen books and snatched the rest from Sanyukta.
"What the hell...You behenjis, how dare u?" Ishita started her rant. But Randhir cut her short.
"Ishi, it's ok...Let's go...come on.,.." he said.
His temper was once again going out of hand and he knew that the slighest provocation would make him go ballistic. And so Randhir left the lab as fast as he could. Ishita glared at the two girls before following her boyfriend. Karan and Smriti were now giving a piece of their minds to Vidushi.
But parth approached sanyukta and asked her if she was ok.
"You aren't hurt, are u?" he said.
"No, i'm ok...Thank u" sanyukta replied, politely for the first time. Parth was different. He was genuinely caring and she appreciated it.
Just as Sanyukta was about to leave the room with Kaustuki, she spotted an envelope on the floor. Curious, she picked it up and checked who it was marked to.
On seeing Randhir's name, she realized it must have fallen out of his bag. She turned to give it to parth, but he was gone already.
"Sanyukta let's go" called out Kaustuki.
Sanyukta carefully put the envelope in her bag and left for her hostel.
------
Randhir reached his hostel, with Ishita towing him.
"Care to explain why u look so bothered?" she asked.
"It's nothing..." he replied.
"How can it be nothing?"
"Did u get any info from ur dad?" he asked her abruptly.
"No, but i wi-.."
Randhir interrupted, "May be u should focus on what I asked u to do rather than focussing on what's bothering me..."
And for just a spilt second Randhir saw a flicker of hurt in Ishita's eyes, before it was replaced by pride and she replied, "I will see what I can find out. Good night Randhir. Just remember, u are losing yourself in this quest for revenge..."
Randhir felt a pang of guilt.
"Ishi..."
"Go to sleep hero" she said before walking off.
Randhir sighed and entered his dorm-room. Was he really possessed by the 'revenge'-spirit?
Revenge reminded him of the envelope and he quickly rummaged through his bag trying to find it.
But it wasn't there. He emptied the contents of the bag in agitation, but to no avail. Then it hit him...It must have fallen in the lab.
"That girl..." he muttered and dashed to retrieve it, hoping it was still there.
-----
Sanyukta sat on her bed, while Kaustuki went to the lavatory to get refreshed. She looked at the envelope and suddenly felt sad. She knew what it was. It had to be a 'love-letter' from ishita. Why else would Ranhdir carry it with him to the lab? She didn't know why she was being so intrusive, but she knew she could never have him. And so she decided to atleast experience what it was like being his girlfriend by reading Ishita's letter.
She tore open the envelope and took out the page from within. But it was just a one-liner. Sanyukta frowned and read it.
"If you want to know the truth about your parents, meet me at 'Masjid Road', tonight at 8PM and come alone."
Sanyukta shivered as she read and re-read the words. Truth about his parents? What truth? Who was this 'me'? Alone? Why alone? And 'Masjid Road'? Where was that?
Questions reeled in Sanyukta's mind, as she fumbled for answers. Meanwhile a frantic randhir sped towards the lab in search of a vital piece of evidence.
Were their fates interwind? Only time would tell.
-------
Love,
Anuš³
One thing is for sure that Randhir's enemy is someone his close by but who? Sometimes I think its Dr. D.S. (Randhir's uncle) sometimes Dr. Mittal (Ishita's dad) even Ishita's mysterious behaviour gives support to my doubt on her dad or may be someone else or maybe they all are responsible for Randhir's miseries.. and now the secret letter, who is the person who wants to help Randhir to find his parents and Ramu kaka's murderer? Mystery is engulfing very deeply.. Not just here even Randhir's behaviour towards Sanyukta.. On one side he helped her twice earlier but on the other side he does or says stuff to hurt her...to insult her... Is it because of what she said during that fresher party or something else behind it? Is it because as he said she is intruding his territory, he is somewhere felt attracted towards her and he is afraid he may get distracted from his goal if he gave attention to her. But little did he know that he cant avoid the destiny, he is bound to be with Sanyukta. Doesn't he? And now Sanyukta got the hold of letter which may provide information to him about his parents' murderer, will she give him the letter or will she keep to choose mum to avoid his wrath. And if she choose former then how will she give it to him what excuse will she make esp when she had opened the cover too?
Btw just curious did Vardhaan realize that Randhir trick Sanyukta in giving wrong answers? Yes, he did.
