Chapter 34: Police Station

As promised, NK had a car ready to go at midnight. He and Anjili had somehow managed to sneak out of the house and were now on route to the police station. Everyone in the family had tried to talk to Anjili but she refused to see anyone but the servants. After a while, everyone got the message that she wanted to be left alone. Besides, she had eaten and taken all her medication so no one was too worried.

NK had made a call to the police letting them know that they would be coming over. He knew if Anjili had phoned, Arnav would be notified immediately. He parked the car once they got there and assisted Anjili up the steps. NK made sure that Anjili was in his line of sight at all times.

He walked up to the desk to speak to the policeman in charge.

"Hi, I'm NK, I called about Shyam Monohar Jha."

"Yes sir, right this way."

The policeman lead them to one of the holding cells that contained Shyam.

He was about to open the door when NK spoke, "No don't open it. We'll take through the bars."

"Yes sir."

NK turned to Anjili. "Go on Di, but just know that I'm right here so don't try anything funny."

Anjili nodded and walked towards where Shyam was. "It's good to see you Shyamji, I hope they're not treating you too badly."

Shyam put on a fake smile. "Oh I can't tell you how great it is to see you, I'm being treated so horribly."

Anjili frowned in concern. "I want to get you out of here Shyamji but first you have to answer my questions."

"Anything Rani Siba."

Anjili got serious. "When did you meet Khushiji?"

"That day at the pooja when you first introduced us. Since then she's been trying to seduce me but I didn't want to make a scene because her sister and Akash were getting married. I kept telling her that I was married but she wouldn't listen."

"That doesn't sound like Khushiji." Said Anjili unsurely.

"Are you going to believe a stranger or your husband?"

"There is a lot of evidence against you Shyamji."

"It's a conspiracy. I don't know why Saale Saab and NK are doing this to me but I'm sure that Khushiji has convinced them."

"I'll look into that. Don't worry Shyamji, soon you'll be back home in my arms with our child. I'll never let you go and we'll live happily ever after."

Shyam finally snapped. "Like hell I will! You're not worth lying to, I honestly would rather go to prison than spend the rest of my life with you." He spat out.

Anjili was mortified. "Shyamji-"

"Oh shut up and open your eyes! I love Khushiji and I always will. Everything you read or saw is true. Do you really think I could love someone like you? I only married you for the money."

Anjili was paralysed with the shock as the truth washed over her. NK chose this moment to intervene before his sister was more broken and damaged by the lunatic.

"Let's go home Di." He said as he dragged her away.

"That's right! Take that disabled shit away from here." Yelled Shyam as they walked away.

A few minutes later, NK came back with a guard. The guard unlocked the door to let NK in and then locked the door again before leaving. Without a word, NK punched Shyam in the stomach. He didn't let Shyam recover before he punched him squarely in the jaw before kicking him repeatedly.

He then leaned closed to his ear. "Don't you dare insult my sister ever again!"

He called for the guard to come and open the door. When the door was opened, he walked to the reception to find an unmoving Anjili staring into space. He didn't say anything but reared her towards the car and took her home.
