🥀 Chapter 16🥀
Five years back
As the half face covered woman saw the way the mountains and fields were whooshing through her glistening wet eyes, she could hear the distinct chatter of the co-passengers, the hawkers, the tea vendors, the beggars. The noise would only provide a music to her half-burnt left ears which she managed to cover and not scare the curious child trying to peep, sitting beside her.
Being persistent, the child pulled the woman's blanket harshly, making the woman whine at the hard impact of the cloth on her burnt skin.
She sat a little far from the child, who just playfully smiled at the angry lady.
"...come child...our station has come..." the mother pulled the curious child who tried her last attempt to see the woman's face but was unsuccessful.
Chennai.
The woman covered her face more as she clutched her carry bag to proceed to her destination. As she turned for a transport she saw the similar child, who was sucking on her thumb holding her mother's hand.
The woman approached her with a smile and bend down to her face level speaking
"...here you go..." handing the child a wrapped toffee making the child glance at her busy mother arguing with the taxi driver and looked back to her.
The hungry child anxiously took the toffee and smiled at the woman who straightened herself to walk off.
"...Ahh!!!..." the child cried loudly feeling the chilli burning sensation all over her mouth, making the mother getting helpless on the sudden cries of her calm child.
As the mother made the child drink some water who was still crying, the hooded woman smirked through the taxi window with an evil smile driving off to Koyambedu – Plastic Surgery Centre.
Plastic surgeon office
"...Hm?" The doctor looked at the reports along with the x-ray being taken of the woman's face who was quietly sitting in front of him, with a tired look.
"...it looks like we can do the procedure...but...um..." the doctor kept the report down and joined his hands together, kind of thinking on explaining the complications of the surgery on a middle-aged woman.
"...but?..." as the woman asked him through her hoarse voice, the doctor looked up to her and saw that no amount of tension would faze the lady.
So, he answered, "...Mam, we can do the surgery...but you have a severe case of diabetes which requires you to take regular medications...and you also have developed a case of chronic asthma...with no previous record of it...in your medical history...but as you told me that...um...you had cleverly escaped a fire trauma...perhaps that might be the reason for the asthma?"
The woman looked down and nodded to which the doctor replied "...hm?...well, I need to level down your glucose level, along with maintaining your weight...as it might create skin lesion later on...with the further medications...so...eight weeks...yes...we can conduct your surgery after five weeks..."
"...it's too long...I have only a month...I need to...*gulps*...go back to my work...I am a businesswoman...the company would suffer...without its ...um...director... so, please..."
"...hm?...seeing the complication of your reports...I am extremely sorry...but I have no other choice...or...um...we can inform any of your family friend to look after your business by the time you undergo the procedure..." the doctor thought for an alternative way in which the procedure could be done as per the clients demand.
Seeing that the doctor was not budging from his nonsense chatter she clicked some buttons on her phone "...and if its regarding finance...it's not an issue...for me..."
The doctor checked his email as signalled by the woman, and saw a hefty amount being transferred to his account from an unknown account.
"..." the woman managed to smile through her half-burnt face for the doctor to reply "...your health might be at risk...I might have to keep you on insulin...twice...which you might get habituated to...in additions to heavy medications...think about it..."
The woman shaked her head in negation and replied "...perform it...in a month, I want to be scarless..."
Ping! Another 100 million was credited to the doctor's account.
The doctor sighed calling his assistant to take the patient for the start of the procedure. As the woman requested; the doctor had no choice but take the necessary quick heavy medications for the complex procedure.
Present day

Naik Villa
Rashmi's room
Sara was playing with her niece, baby Ruhi on the bed as Rashmi was in the shower. The baby cooed with the weird noises that her aunt managed to make which would have scared an ordinary child but not the bold and brave Rashmi's offspring.
Sara was feeling refreshed after her Reiki session and meditation. Rashmi wanted her baby sister to indulge in some relaxation in her 20s to make her physically and mentally strong at her later age. The sisters would often bond more in the form of yoga or hardcore exercises as was the case with the fitness freak of a Rashmi.
"...thanks sweetie...I hope you would come early for the dinner..." Rashmi came out while drying her hair and made cooing sound for her daughter who hummed in return.
"...of course, Tai...um...Tai?!..." as Sara bit her lower lip on getting the approval from the strict sister for accompanying her Edward.
Rashmi side eyed her while picking her precious daughter replying "...fine...anyway I need someone to drop you off safe and sound...since your Jiju will be back only tomorrow...so yeah...he can drop you..."
Sara smiled and ran to take her sister in a lovely back hug with the baby squealing loudly at the bond. Rashmi got surprised at the sudden sound made by her quiet child and pecked her big baby Sara.
Abhishek Law Firm
"...Hm?..."a serious looking Edward hummed in agreement to the pressure the person fromthe side was putting on him. He massaged his forehead on not able to fulfil hisduty on time and get the desire result to his master.
"...Eddy?" Sara jogged inside with the file in her hand to see her love looking outside the window, making her wonder on his sudden serious demeanour.
Edward smiled at her asking for the Masood file to which she sat on the chair to discuss the case which Abhishek had guided them to proceed with, in his absence.
"...honey?...we can't decide on just browsing through these files?!!...we need to visit the place of crime...I mean...it is all going lopsided down...what do you think?" as Edward made his statement, Sara also wondered. As it was true. The case was the most complicated one they had come across.
Masood Case –
Mr. Masood, the casino owner in the city, owning hundreds of hotels in his name. He was a widower for 20 years of his life and enjoyed his solitude with the fun and games with his Casino visit.
His pride. His only son – Mr. Abu. The youngest billionaire most wanted bachelor. Abu was a carefree gentleman, living lavishly with his bank account filling up by the minute. The Casino gained momentum with the entry of the young dynamic 24-year-old man, with his charming personality attracting many customers in the Casino.
But when one day a mother-daughter Khan duo landed in their casino. They captured the majority of the customers and employees heart with their sweet talk and moves.
The Masood male species fell harder. With the father falling for the daughter – Alyah and son falling for the mother – Feroza.
Not regarding the societal norms, young-old couple would often go on double dates and have a gala time with each other.
As they had decided to spend their remaining life with each other in holy matrimony, a sudden tragic struck them.
Thedaughter and the son died mysteriously. Suspecting the father and mother alongwith the people present in the premises at the time of the death.
The suspect – father Masood, mother Feroza, the butler, the cook and the repairman.
The fingerprints but matched with only two of the suspects and one with an unknown person.
The final evidence the lawyers got was that the father had engaged in a drunken one-night stand with the mother who had no memory of the same and totally denying the said truth.
Sara looked for the proofs in the creases of the mirror table (which Edward had missed last time) and the adjoining cabinets of the hotel, when
- A handkerchief with the initials 'A' which was burnt from a side.
- The used champagne bottle cork being rolled below the mirror table, having some blood stains.
- A hair follicle from the bathrobe.
These new evidences would surely give a new twist to the tangled case.
Crash!
The broken glasses pieces shattered over the suite carpet. Out of reflexes, Edward immediately took his love in his embrace to not let her get hurt.
Their agents then went towards the window to find the culprit, but found the street empty.
Edward then told one of them to scavenge the street and get him the report.
"...Ahh!..." a piece of broken glass pierced her soft feet to the much care of her boyfriend. Edward carried her bridal style on the chair and low screamed at his agents to get the first aid kit to treat her wounds.
As Edward applied the antiseptic, Sara pressed his shoulders at the excruciating pain making Edward chuckle.
"...What?!!" Sara softly scolded him to which he softly rubbed the bandage on her wound and signalled the agents to resume their work.
Seeing that they were alone, Edward glanced back at her with a smirk replying "...pain at such a small wound?!...what will you do when...we...um...*shy chuckle*..." getting a clueless look from her pretty face.
After sudden realisation, she hit his shoulder moving her stray hair behind her ears whispering "...Eddy?!!" Edward couldn't help but peck her blushing cheeks making her turn a surprised soft gaze at him.
They were close enough to smell each other's minty breath. Edward so wanted to kiss her ever since her blatant quickie in the university canteen.
But what was holding him back?
She didn't move back, kind of giving him the permission to take her waiting rosy plump lips.
As he slightly opened his mouth to take her upper lips, making her close her almond big eyes. When...
"...Sir?..." one of the agents disturbed them, suddenly aware of his intrusion on the lovely couple.
Sara moved back swiftly at the voice and went to take the evidence file.
Edward was in a fix when he read the letter, even confusing Sara who thought to let their boss Abhishek take a look at all the evidences along with the crucial puzzling letter.
