Chapter 36 - “Trust Begins to Break”

"I told you, didn't I? The patient's condition is very critical.

I don't think he can meet anyone in this state."

Vijay replies to the doctor—

"Look, I'm a doctor too.

I know how to deal with a patient.

I'm shifting Ravi to Vijay Hospital.

Vikas, complete the formalities.

He'll get proper treatment there…

and our Ravi will become normal again.

Don't worry."

Hearing this, Vikas feels relieved that Vijay is still talking to him.

"Okay, Vijay. I'll get Ravi shifted to your hospital."

Before Vikas can say anything more, Vijay receives a call and steps out to attend it.

It's the police station in-charge.

He asks Vijay to come to the station.

After meeting Ravi, Vijay goes straight to the police station.

There, the in-charge says—

"Sir, your case is very strange.

The person you've been asking us to find for the last two days…

Do you even know who she is?"

"I don't understand."

"Alka is one of the most wanted killers.

She has committed more than 40 registered murders.

Three years ago, she was shot in a police encounter.

Everyone thought she was dead, so her body was sent to the morgue.

But from there… she disappeared.

No one ever found her body.

Later, some witnesses said that she walked away on her own.

Which means… she was alive.

She even gave her jewelry to those who saw her, so they wouldn't raise an alarm.

Since then, our department has been searching for her.

When we matched the photo you gave us with our database, we found this out.

And yes… the man who kidnapped Alka—

we found drops of his blood on the floor at her house.

When we matched that data, it belonged to a known killer in our department's records.

So basically… one killer has kidnapped another killer."

"Frankly, it's good she got kidnapped.

Otherwise, she might have killed you and all your friends…

and no one would have even known."

"Do you know… we found a hidden place in Alka's house

where your friend Ravi's blood was scattered?

That means she had been holding him captive for days…

and torturing him.

That's why your friend Ravi is in that condition."

"We will find both of them.

Now you stay away from this case.

Finding them and punishing them is our job."

Hearing all this, Vijay goes numb.

He cannot believe a single word.

Just then, the in-charge leaves the cabin for some work, accidentally leaving his phone behind.

The phone starts ringing.

Vijay notices the call—it's from Vikas.

Vijay answers it.

From the other side, Vikas says—

"Sir, you told Vijay everything, right?

Did he believe you?

That fool loves Alka a lot.

He won't believe you so easily.

But it's very important for our friendship that he believes it."

Vijay says nothing.

He simply listens… cuts the call… and leaves.

Now he feels that everything the in-charge said… was told on Vikas's instructions.

Because both Vikas and Ajay never liked Alka.

Vijay thinks to himself—

"Maybe Alka was right.

Vikas is the one who got those attacks done on her.

Maybe he even hired that killer.

And when Alka was with me in Kolkata…

it must have been Vikas and Ajay who planted Ravi in her house,

to prove that she is a killer.

But then… where was Ravi all this time?

And who did all this to him?

Was Vikas behind everything that's been happening to us?

But why would he do this to his own friends?

What does he gain by torturing us like this… and killing us?"

"The answers to all these questions…

only Vikas can give me now.

And if anything happens to Alka…

I swear, I won't spare you, Vikas."

Meanwhile, Vikas shifts Ravi to Vijay's hospital and is present there.

Vijay calls one of his staff members—

"Is Vikas there with Ravi?"

"Yes sir, he just brought Ravi here."

"Good. Start Ravi's treatment.

And ask Vikas to wait in my cabin.

And listen—he must be very stressed,

so don't disturb him."

"Okay, sir."

Vikas sits in Vijay's cabin, feeling relaxed.

Finally, everything has gone the way he wanted.

Vijay and his friends are now free from that killer, Alka.

And Vijay has learned the truth about her.

Just then, Vijay enters the cabin and sits down on the sofa, looking disturbed.

Vikas walks up to him—

"What happened, Vijay?

Where were you?

Did you find anything about Alka?

Where is she? Who kidnapped her?

And listen… don't mind what Ajay said.

He just couldn't tolerate seeing you change.

And after seeing Ravi in that condition,

he lost control and said all that in anger.

Don't take it to heart…"
