CHAPTER 4

Prakarsh knew Arpita was a social activist. But this time around , when Arpita told him that today was her groups meeting on global warming , for the first time he did not believe her.

***************

Arpita had the constant feeling that she was being followed . She had lied many times but today she was feeling nervous. She looked around twice before entering Hotel Hindustan International ( HHI) at Camac street. The door of room 311 opened even before she knocked.

Rishabh always made her feel vulnerable, helpless. That was one thing that Prakarsh had never nade her feel This time , they were meeting after two weeks. Rishabh shut the door .

“You don’t know what a tough week I have had.” he remarked and saying this he started undressing her.

*****************

Fifteen minutes through the presentation, the vibrator of Prakarsh’s cell phone went active for a second. It was the man from the agency. The message was short but it made perfect sense.

‘ She was with him. HHI . Room no. 311.’

Prakarsh knew what he had to do next . He was waiting for the right time.

Six months later when Seth Ramniklal died at the Appolo Ganglieas due to twin heart attacks Prakarsh knew that the time had come.
