"Your honour. My client have placed charges against Mr. Patil of injecting her a dangerous drug which arouse sexual urge without their knowing. The case is also about my client has been raped one day when she was coming back home from her college but the fact that is doesn't remember anything regarded to that night is really very surprising. That's all my honour."

I bowed a little as I returned back to my seat.

Everyone was Shocked by my actions as they thought that I will request judge to approve my calling of Mr. Patil in the jury box but nothing happened like that.

They all were amused by my behavior expect one person and she thinks that she knows my motive. That's exactly what I want.

To make her feel that I am a easy catch.... Like in the past.

I want to deceive her so that I can set a trap within a trap.

"Miss. Meeta Kumari, do you want to say anything regarding the accusations that the opposing lawyer is implementing on your client.?"

Judge asked her after getting out of the daze.

"Yes your honour."

She says as she gets up not before sending me a glare.

"Your honour. I want you to grant me request of calling Ms. Adhya in the jury box."

I knew it.

I look at Adhya who was sitting right behind me and I blinked my eyes once telling her to be rest assured.

She walked towards the jury box while fidgeting her fingers. She was nervous and that make the opposing lawyer more confident.

I was ready for the worst.

Adhya sworn-in by placing her right hand on the red box and repeated the sentence which she was told to be repeat.

"Miss. Adhya you said that you don't remember anything about that night when you were raped, right..?"

Her words were directly to her soul. She is playing with the psychology of a teenager mind.

"Yes I don't."

"Do yoh know that's what all victim who actually are not says, says when they are standing her in the jury box."

It's good that I have a good temper or else I would have tear her apart.

"Yes I know and that's what opposing lawyer who thinks that their client is innocent says."

Savage. I snorted at her reply. Actually everyone did and even judge liked her response.

"Will you answer me wisely..?"

"Will you question me wisely..?"

I'm telling you that she is going to be top lawyer if she decides to be one.

"Very smart, aren't you..? Okay so let's start again. Now as you said that you don't remember anything about that night, right..?
So I have a question for you. Can you let all of us know your schedule of that whole day."

"Uhm.. I got up in the morning nearly at 7 or 8 am.. I don't remember the exact time. My father left me at college and went towards his office.

The college finish at 2 pm or so but that day one of our teachers announced that she is going to take an extra class for 1 hour. So our class left the college at 3 pm bu-"

"But you didn't went directly to your house right..?"

"Yes."

She looked down in embarassment. It was like her whole courage went away.

Everyone in the court knew what Miss Kumari was pointing out at.

"Can you let us know what you were doing after college if you weren't at home..?"

She didn't said anything.

'Adhya say something or else not only she but everyone here will think that you are the culprit.'

She looked at me and then at her parents before answering.

"I have a boyfriend and I was with him."

Open-minded people shrugged it off but people with cheap mentality gossiped in each other ears about her character. That's their favourite gossip of the all time. *Eye roll*

"Ohh can you tell us till when you were with him..?"

"Till 7 pm."

"Ohh 7 pm. Why you were soo late out with a boy, huh..? Haven't your mother thought you to come home early and not roam out with boy in late hours..? You young girls don't listen to the old generation and then next day case files against rape wasting our time."

My temper was dancing on the thin thread and was ready to blast.

"You never know you did something with that boyfriend of yours and thrown the blame on my client. Your character is soo che-"

"Have you lost it..?!?"
