GETTING THE INFORMATION
On the next day Ellias arrived ten minutes before 10 at Nakul’s house. Nakul and Ellias were waiting for Barsha to come. As soon as Barsha came, Ellias stood up from his chair in order to offer her seat. Actually he wanted to make up for his yesterday’s mistake. Barsha though noticed that Ellias had vacated his chair in order to offer Barsha a seat, but still she took a seat in the empty chair besides Nakul. Ellias was not talking with Barsha due to his feeling of guilt and Barsha was not talking with him as she was really disappointed with him. Nakul went inside the kitchen in order to bring some food for them. Finally Ellias breaking the silence said in a low tone looking towards her with a small smile,
“Hey Barsha!”
Barsha also looked towards him and said in a calm voice, “Hey!”without a smile.
Ellias then at first looked towards the kitchen in order to see that whether Nakul is coming or not and when he saw that Nakul is not coming, he looked towards Barsha and said in an unconfined voice mixed with a bit of nervousness,
“Look Barsha! I am really sorry for whatever I have done yesterday. I should not have lied to you, I mean to you two. I do not believe that if someone lies, he goes to hell and all that. But I know that if someone lies, then next time even if he tells the truth, no one would believe him and I know that I have made the mistake. I know that I should not have lied and I should have told you the truth. But I have also heard that when someone apologizes for his mistake with true feelings, then if the other person forgives him, then that person becomes much more respectable. I am really sorry, Barsha and I promise that it will not be repeated again. Could you forgive me?” looking towards Barsha with eyes full of expectations of getting forgiveness.
Barsha then looked towards him and said with a small smile, “I forgive, but I do not forget.”
Ellias bowed his head down. Barsha continued, “But I am really happy that you realized your mistake and that is what matters the most.”
Ellias then looked towards her with his jolly eyes and asked smiling, “That means, do you forgive me?”
Barsha then smiled towards him and said, “Yes.”
Ellias then looked upwards and said to himself only, “Oh! Thank GOD.”
By this time Nakul had come there from the kitchen with two plates of sandwich. Nakul then came and gave Ellias and Barsha two plates and took a plate for himself. After that they started thinking that how to proceed further in the investigation of the Malpani murder case. In order to proceed further in the investigation, they need to get some information about Nabin. But from where?
Nakul then said that secretary is the only person in the office who is most near to the boss. So, if they want to get some information about Nabin, then they can get the information from his secretary Ms. ANaina Singh, the lady at INDEX TOOLS, whom Indrajit, Nabin’s big brother was scolding yesterday. But how to get the information out of her as no one will give any information to a stranger. Ellias then said that he has got a plan and he can get the information out of her but it will take some time. Nakul and Barsha asked in a curious manner with folded eyebrows, “HOW?”
Ellias said that in order to get the information out of her, they will first have to make friendship with her and then by using that friendship and winning her trust, they can get the information out. But Nakul said that it will be inappropriate and unethical to use her friendship for our own self purpose. But Ellias said that in this world everybody uses each other for their own self interest, so why not they? Moreover they are doing so in order to catch the real culprit and not for the purpose of entertainment or hurting anybody. Ellias said that though he believes that the method is wrong but their intention is not wrong. Nakul, though unsatisfied, but finding no other way to get the information out, accepted the idea.
But the question that arose was that how to be friend with her. Ellias answered that question too. Ellias said that he only will have to be friend with her as Nakul and Barsha went to the office yesterday and if Nakul and Barsha tries to be friend with her, then she might think that friendship is a mere sham or cloak and the real intention is something different. So they may not get the full of satisfactory information from her. So, it had to be Ellias. But HOW? Nakul said to Ellias that he has got a very good physic and he can talk to people really well and can make friends very easily. So he can use all these qualities to attract her towards him and when she is fully attracted towards him, then he can use that intimacy to get the information out of her.
Moreover Nakul said that though he accepts that the method is wrong, but there is no other way. Barsha though accepted the proposal her countenance was such that she did not like Ellias to be friend with another girl except her. Ellias did exactly as per the plan proposed. After that almost a month passed. Now Ellias and ANaina are very good friends and may be more than just friends. One day Nakul and Barsha were sitting in Nakul’s house when suddenly Ellias came running and entered the house door. He was sweating and his breathe was also running very fast. It was clearly evident that he had been coming running from somewhere. But WHY?
Ellias answered that too. He told something which surprised the other two present there. He told that he came to know of the fact from ANaina Singh while he was with her on a discotheque. She said that there is an insurance policy in the names of Indrajit and Nabin each of Rs.75,00,000.00. If anyone dies, the amount will accrue to their parents, mother first and if the mother also dies then the amount will accrue to his father. On knowing the matter, they then without wasting a single moment of time quickly went to their parents’ house where they came to know from the house servant Shrish that Mr. Subhas Malpani and Mrs. Ajanti Malpani had went to Mrs. Ajanti Malpani’s house in order to attend some ceremony.
Then BEN went to that house by taking the address of the house from Shrish. Fortunately the house was not in Delhi, it was in Kolkata only. On arriving there they saw that somebody’s shraddh is going on there. They entered there quietly and asked a person about Mr. and Mrs. Malpani. The person took them to Mr. and Mrs. Malpani. So BEN went there and asked them what happened. They said that Mrs. Ajanti Malpani’s brother’ son had died in an accident and it was his shraddh that is going on.
BEN knew Ajanti Malpani’s brother. He was Nasir Ahmed, he third person who was present there in their house when BEN first visited Malpani house after returning from Delhi. Mr. Nasir Ahmed also recognized them instantly. His eyes were still red due to tears and his voice was still heavy. After all he had lost his child in an accident. He then requested the trio to go after having meal, but Nakul clearly stated that his mind did not accept the fact that food and beverages will be distributed among people on the occasion of somebody’s death .
Ellias and Barsha also supported his comment. But they said that they will go and give pranams to his son as a mark of respect. Mr. Nasir Ahmed also agreed to them. So they went near the photo frame in order to give pranam to the concerned person and when they saw the photo of Nasir Ahmed’s son, they were shocked and surprised. Mrs. Ajanti Malpani’s brother Nasir Ahmed’s son was none but Nabin and Indrajit’s dead friend Irfan Ahmed, one of the member of INDIA group.They were just shocked and surprised.
They then quickly went to Mr. Subhas Malpani and Mrs. Ajanti Malpani and asked them that why did they did not tell them that Nabin, Indrajit and Irfan are brothers. When they understood that they are caught and finding no other way to hide the real truth, they said to them everything. Mrs. Malpani said,
“We are very very sorry for hiding the truth from you. After they left us in Delhi, we realized their importance. We realized that if parents are important for their children, then children are also equally important for their parents. So after staying there for three years we came to Kolkata and started living opposite to their house where we can see them but they can’t see us. The house in which we live is also not of ours own. It is my brother Nasir Ahmed’s house. After that we came to know that his son Irfan Ahmed works in INDEX TOOLS——the same organization where Indrajit and Nabin works. So we told the entire matter to him and he promised to take care of them properly. But we told him very clearly that he should not disclose his real identity to them. If they come to know of his real identity then they will leave Kolkata and will go somewhere else as they hate us from the core of their heart, though it was not their mistake. We have only created the hatred in their mind for us. It was all our mistake. We never care our son’s love and always tried to compensate them with money.”
BEN listened to her words quietly. Ellias then said after finishing her talk, “What about the Insurance Policy amount of Rs.75,00,000.00? After all, after Nabin’s death, you will be the beneficiary Mrs. Malpani?”
Then Mr. Malpani interrupting Ellias said in an amused manner with folded eyebrows, “If your indication is that we two are involved in the murder of Nabin, then I will have to say that you are badly mistaken as a parent can under no circumstances can kill his child. Never.”
Ellias then said with a wicked smile in his face, “We are extremely sorry, sir. I did not intend to hurt you. But in this modern world, money walks, money talks and even in certain situations money kills.” By saying this they left the house and went away.
