86
Next
day she calls on Sharad in his house. That was not a big and
luxurious flat, it was a small two room apartment in a chawl. He was
staying with his mother and young sister. As aways entrance door of
his room was open and she peeps into it. Sharad's sister was doing
something and mother appeared to be busy cooking. There was no sign
of sharad. She knocked on the door. Sharad's mother looks to her and
recognizing her gives smile and calls her in the room. Veena enters
the room and sits on floor carpet as there was no chair or any such
facility to relax. Veena remembers her old days when at her village
she would sit on floors. Mother tells her that Sharad has gone out
and he is expected any moment. They continue to chat and in that
Sharad's sister joins. Soon they become good friends. Mother offers
her tea and causally inquire the purpose of coming to him. Veena
becomes slightly uncomfortable as she could not reveal to her the
real purpose for coming to meet Sharad; she does not say anything
forthwith, takes some time and after a pause replies that her office
has some requirement and she wants Sharad to help her in that matter.
Veena feels very much embarrassed while giving the lie. She had no
alternative and it appears that her response was good enough for
Sharad's mother. Sharad's sister brings some biscuits and other
snacks and Veena feels all the more embarrassed. Much time had lapsed
Veena was wondering if she should sit there for some more time or
leave. The other women were busy in their house work. Finally, she
decides to leave and gets up to leave. The other women were also
feeling very awkward that Sharad is taking too much time to return.
Veena was almost at the entrance of the room and there comes in
Sharad with load of house provisions. He almost hits Veena in that
haste.
"Ohh,
why it took so much time to return", his mother asks; there was
much rush at the ration shop and so it took so much time, Sharad
replies hurriedly. Looking to Veena he greets her and asks the
purpose of her visit. Veena returns and sits on the mat, as it was
very important that they talk. Sharad goes in the inner room keeps
the load of provisions he had just brought and comes out and sits
with her.
"Sorry,
I do not have spacious flat like yours, please be comfortable in my
humble place". Sharad exclaims intuitively. There was no
conversation in them and Veena did not know how to commence. Seeing
that the couple is not continuing any further conversation Sharad's
mother and sister feel that they should move out and give them some
privacy. Veena opens up and tells him that there is an urgent task
to be performed and that needs his help.
"What
help"? Sharad
"I
cannot tell it here", Veena whispers going close to him.
"I
get it", Sharad
"Can
we meet at your hotel? When you are going to hotel? Veena asks.
"Actually I am on
leave today". Sharad tells and suggests that it will be good if
we either talk in her car and she return him home after the talk or
they can meet at her place any other time.
Veena hints to him that
they shall talk in car and she shall drop him home. They get up and
Sharad tells his mother that he will return soon. Hurriedly they move
out as Veena was getting late for her work. In the car Veena explains
to Sharad her plan; that somehow a sample of drug we have to procure
and that will be planted in Mustaffa's room in any of his baggages.
After that an anonymous call they will make to police and tell them
that Mustaffa is carrying drugs. That will bring police to his room
and on search they will find the sample in his baggages. And that is
all we have to do! Veena finishes her plan; looking to Sharad for his
reaction.
"Well, it is a good
plan to fix the Arab and I also understand that you expect me to do
planting sample in his baggages. To this much, I get it but who will
procure sample"? Sharad asks.
"Is it possible to
get samples, do you have any contacts for that"? Veena
"Sorry, Veena I am
not in that type of things and I do not have anybody who maybe able
to help in this work" Sharad.
They had parked the car
on one side of the road and they were busy talking. They did not
notice that at a distance one police officer who had talked with
Veena, when she had visited that slum, was carefully watching them.
The officer began to move to them and when he came to them they did
not get and there he was standing next to Sharad's side of the car.
At that time Veena noticed him and she felt a shock. She slightly
shuddered but controlling her poise she greeted that police officer
with a gracious smile.
"Hello, what you
people are doing here, chatting on something"? He inquires
suspiciously.
"Please come out"!
Officer almost orders Veena not looking to Sharad.
Veena comes out and at
that Sharad looks to the inspector and there they exchange glances.
"Arre, Vinod! What you are doing here, are you on duty on this
side"? Sharad asks the inspector.
"Ohh, hello Sharad
what a surprise! What you are doing here"? Inspector returns his
query.
This was another surprise
to Veena but anyhow she feels better that Sharad knows the inspector
personally, may be they are friends.
