A Single Breath – Part 22

“Then how did you find out the truth?” Geet asked.

“I knew the mother was hiding something from me but I didn’t want to pressure her. I decided to find out the truth myself. For this I talked to the commissioner sir. Anyway, people like Pratap came to my house, It was not good for my job. So I told him everything. He was also surprised. But he considered it  normal. But I knew it was not normal.

“From that day on, Mother started feeling a little upset. She put sugar in the place of salt in the food, if I asked anything, she would have gone without answering. She did this for the first time. Now I decided to ask her forcefully. Still she continued to deny But when I gave my oath, then she told the truth.”

“I was also surprised by knowing the truth like you. I started feeling ashamed of myself. I did not know my father could fall so much. From childhood, mother told me that he had left us and gone. But I did not think that he would come out in this form. But whatever, I had to do something now. Being a police officer, it was my duty to bring the truth before the world, especially you.” Geet looked at Maan hearing this, But Maan stole the glance. He looked at the other side and started speaking further. 

“I told the whole thing to the commissioner sir. The fact also told that he is my father and I want to investigate this matter myself. He encouraged me.”

“In the episode of this case, we first found Ranjit Singh’s lawyer, because Jagan could not become Pratap without a lawyer. We threatened his lawyer, then he told the entire truth. From Ranjit Singh’s business scam to Pratap’s will, he supported Jagan at each and every step. 

He had prepared all the necessary documents, even the idea of kidnapping you. So that he becomes the only owner of all the property. Jagan also promised to pay him a good amount after owning the property.”

“When we came to know that both of them together planned a murder after your kidnap, we got an idea. We introduced an officer of our department as a Criminal and introduced him to Pratap. Pratap knew that he was a lawyer’s man, so he handed over the kidnapping work to him without any question. Then that officer kidnapped you. What happened after that, you very well know”

Geet took a deep breath. The entire story was not less than a movie. She did not even have such hatred for Jagan when she had come to know that he had kidnapped her for property. She had absolutely no desire to return to that house. Now she did not even want to see that person’s face again. But now I have to take revenge not only for myself but also for my mother and father ”. She thought. She made her heart stronger. That was her house, not of that criminal. 

She had to leave. She was late anyway. Maan came to let her reach home safely in his car. Actually he wanted to ask something from Geet. Geet had sensed his hesitation. She had seen his audacity before, so  she was surprised to see this hesitation. Whole drive was silent. When they were about to reach, Geet couldn’t resist this mystery. So she asked,

“Do you want to say something?” 

“Knowing all this story, that he is my father, will you hate me Geet?” Maan asked.
