Chapter Thirty-Six : Mystery Unfolds 1
Rehan
*present*
I was sitting on the armchair
in the terrace garden with my laptop checking on my inbox after every few
minutes as I awaited the final investigation report. I was supposed to be
emailed to me by now. It was getting difficult for me to keep waiting as the
time passed.
I had made sure that all the
members in the house will be here within few hours. It is better if I let the
truth out before everyone at the same time. I kept on refreshing my inbox for a
few more minutes but I hadn't received any new email notification yet.
Out of patience, I unlocked
my phone and dialled detective's number. He didn't receive the call and send me
a message which said, “Just emailing it within few minutes. Making a final
check before sending you."
I turned off my phone screen
and placed the phone back on the teapoy beside. A few moments later there was a
ping sound. I checked again to see if it was the same email that I had been
expecting. It was the email that I had been expecting for a while. I downloaded
the PDF file and as I clicked on it to open, the file asked me for password.
The report was encrypted with the password which I and detective had
agreed upon when I had assigned him the task. He had informed me that the
reports he’ll be sending will be encrypted with the password so that no one can
get their hands on it even if anything happens.
I smiled at the level of
anonymity and security that he had maintained to keep the information within
safe hands. But the smile soon turned into a frown as I started reading the
report. I also had a brief look over the evidences that he had attached within
the report. As I continued to scroll down through the file I discovered things
that I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dreams.
I held my head in my hands as
I had tears in my eyes. If I hadn't involved a detective here I would have
never known the truth. I shuddered at the thought that those smiles were hiding
the darkest evils behind them. I had Goosebumps thinking that what would have
happened if Ruhani wouldn't have been there that night.
I brushed little tear
droplets from my eyes as I continued to read ahead. Tanya would be coming
anytime by now. She had called as they were leaving from the hospital. I just
wanted this to let out and open in front of everybody. I wanted to uncover the
jackals that were hiding inside pack of wolves.
~*~*~*~
Everyone was present in the
garden now. They all were looking at me curiously as I kept waiting for Tanya
to arrive. "Ruhani do you remember the secret advisor? The one who used to
call us and drop the hints that it wasn't a suicide at all?" I questioned
Ruhani as she looked up.
"Yes" She answered
with just a word and shook her head.
"You know who that
guardian angel was?" I asked back again to which she just nodded her head
in ‘No’.
"Let me just call him
here." I opened my phone dialler and dialled the number. A phone had
started to ring nearby as I had dialled the number. Everyone's eyes halted at
Abish as he pulled out his phone from the pocket. "Can I know who is
calling?" I asked Abish to which he didn't reply but rather just showed me
his phone screen.
"So you are the guardian
angel who wished to remain anonymous?...” There was sheer silence. Abish stood
there looking down at floor. “ You could have just informed us. It could have
been a lot easier than you calling me with some new number and sticking notes
on our bathroom mirrors right?" The sarcasm was clearly reflected from my
tone.
"Oh don't be so silent
buddy, you did such a great job. You proved that even someone's not so good
past can prove to be a good future." I continued as his eyes were still
glued to ground.
"Rehan, I didn't meant
any harm. I just wanted to help and that's all. I had met Ruhani that night.
When I asked her why she was sneaking in instead of just heading straight
through the door. That time She said that she wanted to surprise Tanya.
I wasn't aware about her
actions that night. I had called Tanya to inform her that I had to leave for
Malaysia for a conference. All I wanted to say sorry for not being able to
attend her wedding. But on call, I just overheard their voices. I guess which
was received by mistake. I said nothing but just kept ear on the arguments that
were happening. Just when the argument
stopped there was a loud shriek. I ran inside and asked one of the relatives to
and check upon Tanya.
But I guess it was too late
before anyone could find out what had happened there." He sighed as he
held his head in hands.
"Then why being this
mysterious caller thing?" I asked as I still had some doubts left. Even
though I knew what had happened actually.
"I had messaged Ruhani
that night after the incident. Asking her if she was staying with Tanya or she had
any other residence nearby.
She replied me that she had a hotel room booked nearby and would be staying
there as she wanted it to be a surprise for everyone else as well.
I just wanted to confirm that I had heard someone else. I wanted to make sure that
it wasn’t Ruhani. But when I came to know about Tanya's condition, I thought
you should know the truth. I know you wouldn't have believed me if I would have
just simply said to you that Ruhani was present in the room that night.
So I had to make Ruhani
confess out herself. For that I just hired one of the servants from the mansion
and asked him to just post those messages in your bathroom mirrors.
I called Ruhani and informed her that there was a hidden camera in the room that night. I blackmailed her by saying that I had the footage about that incident. For letting her to believe me I played the recording of the call that was automatically recorded on my phone that night. I messaged Ruhani that I had kept the CD in Tanya's Diary if she still doubts me and wants to see it. Along with that I also lead you towards the Diary for that." He sighed as there was complete silence around. Everyone was shocked as he continued further letting out the truth.
