Part

Vibhawari
could not bear the sight of that Khalia's wife dropping down righ in
front of her. The girl was só much frightened at that she began to
shout loudly. At that very moment Khalia had come on scene and she
could see him trying to remove the knife out of her neck. That young
girl seeing all that fainted on the floor. All these things happen in
fraction of a second that by the time Khalia realizes that Vibhawari
has seen him with knife in his hand and the fact that she also saw
him removing it from his wife's neck; it was too late to do anything
to avoid it. khalia realized that the situation is very grim. First
of all she had a shock of his life that he has accidenly though
actually murdered his beloved wife, whom he loved só deeply that the
thing he could not apprehend properly, did it really happened that I
killed my wife? Khalia was wondering about and in those thoughts he
was standing in the door for a moment and then he decided to remove
her body inside and he did it and then closed the door. At that he
saw his daughter bewildered and was looking to him not knowing what
has happened to her mother and why she is lying on floor, her father
looking on her and around in dazed mood.
Hard
boiled police officer that he was, he could not understand what next
to do. All that had happened was beyond his appraisal.
The very idea that his wife is just dead and he has done it was
simply not acceptable to him. For the first time in his life he felt
so much nervous and helpless.
Because
of the sound of Vibhawari's shouting people in that building began to
come out of their apartments. First was her father, Mr. Kamatkar, he
was also an officer of similar rank and when he had come out Khalia
had already shut his door and there was Vibhawari fallen on ground in
a dazed condition. She was slowly recovering from her shock but yet
not completely out of that. Mr. Kamatkar helped his daughter and
asked her why she shouted. She could not say anything but mutely
pointed towards the door of Khalia's apartment. The door by that time
was closed and therefore, Kamatkar could not understand her. He
appeared much perplexed at that and repeatedly requested to be calm
and he was more interested in getting his daughter out of that
condition than what caused it to her. Slowly more people in that
building began to gather around Vibhawari. Vibhawari was very fond of
khalia's wife, in fact they were more like friends even though
Vibhawari was a very young girl fit to be Khalia's daughter. As she
saw her falling down with knife in her neck she could not understand
how that knife had pierced her neck; because she had not seen anybody
shooting it on her from inside the room. As more men collected they
began to see at the door of Khalia. They also were surprised that
though all neighbors had collected why only Khalia was not coming out
of his house. Kamatkar began to see the floor near the door and there
he could spot some blood stains on the floor and also on door mat
that was kept outside that door. He could measure that that blood was
fresh and otherwise also there was no possibility of having any blood
in that place. He called police. Other neighbor ringed bell of
Khalia's door. They were waiting for Khalia to open the door but for
quite some time Khalia had not opened the door. They became
suspicious and began to bang on the door and call Khalia warning him
that he must better open the door or police will have to break it
open.
That
building was a police quarter and so everybody in that house belonged
to some or the other department of police. They began to discuss
about what must have happened so that Vibhawari shouted and then
pointing to Khalia's house; they were anxious to ask her but her
father had requested them to wait until she recovers from the shock.
Inside of Khalia situation was worst as his daughter had begun to cry
knowing that her mother is no more. A very happy family was shattered
in no time and the way everything had happened was simply beyond
nobody's apprehension. Khalia himself was not out of the shock that
he killed her and now he began to visualize what next is going to
happen as police will come on the scene. He was busy trying to
console his daughter whose weeping had already become very loud. He
was wondering whether he should open the door; but there was no other
option to him. At that moment while he was standing close to her body
he could feel that there is somebody in that room and watching him.
Who was it? Khalia could not see anybody but could feel some eerie
presence in that room. Finally he decided to open the door and give
confession to those who will ask him about the accidental happening
that caused death of his dear wife. Khalia was wondering if anybody
there will accept his explanation that he had thrown the knife on
somebody else and not his wife? He could hear the sound of police van
approaching the building and much noise of many people in the
neighborhood. Khalia was never so much depressed and he began to cry.
