Angel's POV

Manvi felt an unknown presence in her room, she panicked and shouted "Di..."

I moved to her and touched her shoulder "main yahi hun mannu.. Mere saath ye inspector hai. Tum inhe sab batado thik hai na" I  said.

she nodded convincingly.

"Aapki behen ka kehna hai aapke saath jo kiya ghar ke kisi member ne kiya hai kya aap pehchan sakti hai kaun hai?" Viraj asked.

She shook my head in yes. "Thik hai phir.. Chalyie bahar abhi pata chal jayega kisne kiya hai ye sab" he said unknown to the fact that she is blind and could just recognise with the touch.

She stood up but could not balance herself, I held her "sambhalke mannu.. Saamne stool rakha hua hai" I alerted me.

"Ek minute.. Is she blind?" the inspector questioned.

"Jee haan inspector meri behen dekh nhi sakti hai.. Jiska fayda uthaya hai ghar ke kisi bande ne" I said in anger.

"Madam agar ye dekh nahi sakti hai toh kaise bata payengi iske saath jo kiya ghar mein se kisine kiya hai?" Viraj asked.

"Apne touch se.." I told.

He smiled at this "matlab ki ye apne touch se pehchan lengi? How is this even possible Angel ji?" he asked.

"Dekhiye ye sab jaanne ke liye hi aapko yahan bulaya gaya hai.. Aapko meri madad karni hi padegi warna main aapke khilaf complaint kar dungi ki aap meri madad nhi kar rahe hai apni duty nhi nibha rahe hai" I almost yelled at him as everyone was questioning same thing. That how can a blind girl can get raped.

He looked at me and sighed "alright.. Uske baad aapki sister ka medical test hona zaroori hai taaki hum assure ho sake" he said.

I nodded.. "Main isko khud hospital leke jaungi aur medical test karwaungi"

"Thik hai bahar chalke... pehchan karwayie.." Viraj said.

I held her hand and walked but stopped. I looked towards Manvi who seemed to scared and worried.

I said "dekho mannu main janti hun jo hua galat tha par aise darna nhi hai tumhe samjhi I am with you"

"Di.. main aapko batana chahti thi par koi yakeen nhi karta kyuki maine dekha nhi hai usko.." she replied fearfully.

I cupped her face "koi yakeen kare na kare par main karungi samjhi tum.. Dekha nhi hai toh kya hua? Lekin ek touch se toh tum pehchan sakti ho na" I asked giving her  confidence.

She shook her head in yes. "Toh chalo mere saath bahar sab hai chuke batao kaun tha wo jisne tumhare saath ye harkat ki" I replied with calm yet a tinch of anger in my voice.

She rolled her eyeballs right and left and asked "but di.. Ghar ke log..jiju..uncleji..Arjun aur..sab"

"Apne hai sab Manvi par usi kisi apne ne tumhara fayda uthaya hai.. Agar wo Sachin bhi hua na toh mujhe farak nhi padta samjhi.. Chalo main hun tumhare saath hmmm..." I said.

She shook her head in yes, I  walked out with her. I made her sit on the couch.

I looked and everyone was present there.

Sachin spoke up "Angel main samjhta hun ki manvi ke saath galat hua hai par tum iss tarah humpar shaq nahi kar sakti ho"

I looked at him and asked "kyun nhi kar sakti Sachin... jo hua hai iss ghar mein hua samjhe tum.. Karne waala koi andar ka hi"

Rajdeep said "Sachin... rehendo usko apni tasali karne do.. Sab yahi khade hai Angel beta tum karo jo karna hai tumhe"

I looked towards Manvi and said "mannu chalo pehchano kaun hai.. Main hun tumhare saath"

Manvi's POV

I was sitting with fear, my hands were still shivering. My sister touched my hand and said "ghabrao mat.. Pehchano bas please.."

I nodded, I stood up and with her. "Ye sab servants hai pehchano.." Angel said.

I took a deep breath and composed myself. I tried to recognize the touch but all were unknown. I denied.. "Nahi di.. Inn servants mein se koi nahi hai.."

"Kaha tha maine.. Ye sab servants shareef hai.." Sachin said.

"Koi nahi Sachin.. Abhi ghar ke teen mard baaki hai jo iske kuch zyada hi sweet hai" I heard Angel's voice.

"Angel.." Sachin shouted, I shivered with this.

"Chillao mat sachin.. Chillana mujhe bhi aata hai.." she said angrily.

"Please.. Aap log aise jhagda mat kijiye.. Let us do our work hum pata lagayenge kaun sahi hai aur kaun galat.. Manviji.. Move on" the inspector said.

"Chal Manvi aage badh.. Tere saamne teen log aur hai.." Angel said.

I nodded, Sachin held my hand and said.. "Shuruwat mujhse ki karo Manvi.. phir"

I held his hand and kept it on my arm, I could hear Angel's heavy breathings as she was standing next to me.

Angel's POV

I was sure, Sachin is innocent. He has been my support since beginning, he would never do this but I had to doubt him as he was closest to my sister. And he was not even trusting us.

I looked towards Manvi keenly and waited for her reply. She did not reply instead stepped back and moved towards Arjun.

I was really confused, it seemed she was also confused as Arjun and Sachin were really close to her. She touched Arjun and then moved to Rajdeep. She stepped back and hide behind me.

I understood, it is definitely one of them. I asked "mannu kaun hai batao.."

She pointed towards someone and I was left stunned. I was not expected this. Everyone was left shocked seeing her point.

"Uncleji.. Maine pehchan liya unka touch.. Wahi hai.." she said with tears brimming down her eyes.

Sachin shouted "aisa ho hi nhi sakta hai.. Dad aisa kabhi nhi kar sakte hai"

I was confused, as Rajdeep is the one who had been treating Manvi like a daughter. But, I trusted more, my sister.

I said "kyun nhi kar sakte hai Sachin? Jo wo kah rahi hai ki papaji ne kiya hai toh matlab wahi hai"

Sachin did not believed it "usne dekha hai Dad ko nahi na? Sirf ek sparsh se wo kah rahi hai Dad hai.. Aur sach mein aisa hua hai ki nahi? Humhe pata bhi nhi hai.."

I was just left shocked hearing this.. "Sachin.. Tum humhe jhootha tahra rahe ho.."

"No Angel.. Sirf uske mehsus karne se main Dad ko kasurwar nahi maan sakta.. Are kal unhone khud kaha tha mujhse ki hum police complaint karenge.. Saza dilwayenge.. Aur unpe hi ilzam lagaya jaa raha hai" he shouted.

"Sachin.. Chillao mat.." I said in anger.

"Dekho Angel maana ki iske saath galat hua hai par iss tarah mere Dad ko blame nhi kar sakti hai ye.. Apni beti maanke ise yahan ghar mein laaye hai Dad.. iski fikar ki hai.." Sachin said protesting.

Arjun also said "haan Angel zaroor koi galatfehmi hogi Manvi ko uncle aisa nhi kar sakte hai.. Aur kal toh wo aunty ke saath event pe they"

I looked at him and asked shouted "wo event pe they ko kisne kiya hai ye sab batao mujhe"

Rajdeep looked at me and said "beta.. Main aisa kyun karunga haan? Beti jaisi hai wo meri.. Lekin mujhe pata hai ye kisne kiya hai"

I was shocked hearing this, I asked "aap jante hai?"

"Haan.. Sachin office mein tha kal main Naina ke saath event pe lekin Arjun uska socha hai tumne" he said while looking towards Arjun.

Arjun was left shocked hearing this. I thought for a while, Rajdeep continued "pichle ek saal se sab dekh rahe hai Angel kaise ye Arjun iske saath rehta hai bahane dhundta hai iske paas aane ke.. Notice nhi kiya hai tumne haan? Kaayi baar maine isko Manvi ke kamre ki aur jaate dekha hai ek baar toh raat ko pakda bhi tha isey puche isse"

He was right, he was really close to Manvi.

I glanced towards Arjun, I asked "Arjun papa kya kah rahe hai? Tum raat ko manvi ke kamre ki aur aate they..."

He said "haan.. But.."

I raged with this and slapped his face hard. Tears slipped down my eyes, Rajdeep said "aur kal raat jab hum sab wapas laute ye waha nhi tha.."

I slapped him again and shouted "how could you Arjun.. Tum dost they na itna bharosa kiya tumpar aur tumne Manvi ke saath hi.. Ye sab kiya"

He shook his head and said "nahi.. Maine kuch nhi kiya hai.. Maine kabhi Manvi ko waisi nazar se nahi dekha hai Sachin.. Believe me"

"Jhooth mat kaho Arjun, kal raat maine tumhe message kiya tha jaake ek baar Manvi ko dekhlo iska matlab tum aaye they yahan and you raped her" I shouted at him. I slapped him once more.

Viraj stopped me with "please.. Mam.. aap kanoon haath mein mat lijiye aage hum decide karenge sach pata lagayenge Manvi ko hospital leke jayie medical test ke liye"

I nodded, I glanced at Arjun "agar tum zimedar ho na Arjun.. Toh main tumhari jaan le lungi remember that aur agar papaji hai toh main Sachin tumse har rishta tod dungi..."

I held Manvi's hand moved out of the house.
