TRUTH UNVEILS

 

Sorry for late 

 

 sometimes we refuse to see the truth ...

sometimes we are blinded by love 

sometimes obliged by our responsibility 

 

 

Inside the room ......

Everyone was tensed , silence dominated the large room , where more than fifty people were gathered . Most of them  have their own  hearings , others were the staff like steno , the recorders , the file bearers , the summon servers .  Important persons include  Donna with her  three juniors , and the bench of six judges and Philip and David  . Anirudh looked calm and quiet , handsome  as usual in his navy blue suit . He glanced at his rolex ....

 

  The bench was taking longer . they left the room for more than an hour now , they were discussing it inside the private room , just at the back of this court room , the judge  accompanied them .

 

 

Outside , in the corridoor ....

 

Sumit was still holding his sister's hand  , Runi was sweating . her confidence was running down ...  

" I can't ...  what if I spoIl everything ....  ?"

" I don't ...  I never came to any ...  court , I ... " .

" Chhaya ...  listen ...  you are the only one , Anirudh's life , Pari's future depends on your statement ." Sumit now took Pari from her shoulder , Pari was giggling ... still holding the strings of balloons , Sumit kissed both her rosy cheeks ... her soft giggles echoed the silent corridoor .....

 

Everything was awfully quiet , like it was the silence before the srorm .

 

 One of the  guards  from the gate  followed them..... upstais here in the corridoor  they saw more others guards  in uniform ....  standing at the various entrances , in the hallway , everyone looked curiously ...  as no one was allowed to come up . 

 

Outside the room , where Anirudh's hearing was commenced ...  there stood , two of Anirudh's bodyguards and four personnel in uniforms , one was the officer that ordered not to let anyone in . He looked at the approaching figures ,

 

The officer looked at his subordinate ,recognised Sumit , they always comes to assist his  brother Anirudh . The guard went forward and talked to his superior , in a low voice , in his ear ..... 

 

The personel guards of Anirudh never saw Runi , they were just appointed  before the first court appearance .

Their duty was to protect their employer at any cost ...  specially from fake and doubtful  characters . All the eyes were on Runi , The beautiful lady in Indian dress ...   confident and positive . 

 

Runi was asked to assist them for verification ....  they cannot take any chance , Anirudh was a known figure , media coverage was at it's maximum .... if any mistake happens ,all of them will loose their jobs . 

 

 

Sumit went inside first , holding Pari .... she looked around ,looking at the faces ...  sitting at the back benches they  were either ,plaintiff or defendents ...  who were waiting for their cases to turn up . They knew the rules , since the case of Anirudh started , no one was allowed to enter or leave the court room during the running  of the session ....

 

So,  when Sumit entered with a cutie , it caught the attention of everyone . Specially the beck benchers , Pari too looked at the new faces with curiosity , she don't cry like other babies of her age , even if she  was left amongsts  the strangers ..... 

 

In the silence of the crowd ....  Sumit's footsteps were clearly heard .

No one have any desire to know who entered , all faces were grim , specially Davis , Philip and Anirudh .

 

Donna was first to look towards the narrow path ...  between the rows of benches .  She noticed Anirudh's cousin , coming this way , holding a baby ...

 

Unknowingly a chill ran down her spine , she looked closely to the baby Sumit was holding ... she was a beutiful  infant of a few months , but looks familiar ...  she bears a resemblance . At that very time  Anu looked towards the approaching figure ...  she was focussed on the baby ...

 

' no ...  it can't be '...  her mind was sccreaming , 'no no no no '. she was breathing hard , looking towards the  double door ...  her eyes were searching , searching for a face ...  the face she didn't see for so many months , the face that ruined her every dream , the face that she never ever want to see again .

 

Anu thought , this was her last day to cry , from tomorrow she will breathe in free air , she was so exited ...  to welcome happiness in her life  She heard people talk ....  along the corridoor , that  the case turned to her favour , yes that was the gossip she heard ...  that was what she read in papers , that's what her lawyer Donna asured her a few minutes ago .

 

She saw the faces of the judges , two of them gave her an assuring smile , before leaving for their meeting inside . She want them to come out soon and give the verdict ...  her time was running out . 

What if her worst dream , come true and Arunima di appears through the double door . Anu looked at both the entrances ... through which her final judgement will appear in her favour as she expected ....  and through  another  it was her sister Arunima 

 

Sumit noticed the shocking look at Anu's face ....  he gave Anu a victory smile ,  want her to see her fate ...  her countdown backwards to hell . Donna didn't blink her eyes once ....  went on looking at the smiling baby ....  so much alike . Now she remembers Davids words ....  

 

Sumit came and stood near the table where David and Philip looked serios , engrossed in silent  discussion , David felt the presence and looke up , he saw Sumit , then immediately his face lightened up , his sad and sour face now have a broad smile ...... God sent an angel .
