Chapter 4 - Ch 3

New York, USA

"My daughter was raped and murdered Anand, she didn't take her life, the doctor told me they are very dangerous people, I just don't know how my daughter got involved with them."

"I'll talk to the head office to open Tanya's case."

"No you will not do that."

"But why, don't you want justice for your daughter?"

"I do, but it's too risky, I don't know if I can trust the police department, who knows maybe Tanya's killer works in your department, besides we don't have proof, and the doctor won't help us since they are targeting his family."

"Then how are we going to find Tanya's killer?"

"My friend Radhika Mishra is coming, I know she will find out who were involved in my daughter's murder."

"These people are dangerous, how can your friend help?"

"You don't know Radhika the way I do, you don't know what she is capable of, let me tell you how we met, how she saved me from human trafficking?"

The past

Radhika and I were best friend since we were babies, my father Tardesh worked with uncle Dilip in his Mishra Market, my mother had cancer when I was 5 year old, it was Radhika that stood with me on my worse day when I lost my mother, since then she has become my best friend.

When I stayed at Mishra's house for sleep over, I notice that Radhika talking in her dream, "you killed me Shanti Devi, I will get my revenge one day, you just wait and watch."

"Radhika wake up."

"Hah, what's wrong Nina?"

"You tell me Radhika, who is Shanti Devi?"

I don't know, maybe someone that I made up in my dream."

I believe her that it was just a dream, but when I was 15, she had saved me and the other girls from human trafficking that was run by Shanti Devi, I wouldn't have found out the truth if one of the man wasn't talking on the phone, he mention her name, Shanti Devi, that was the day I remember Radhika having that dream.

Anyways when I was rescued and safe at Mishra's house, I ask her again who Shanti Devi was to her and this time not to say that she is pretend because I knew she was real and that she is the one kidnapping innocent girls, Radhika told me.

"First pinky promise me you won't tell anyone."

"Okay pinky promise I won't tell anyone, now tell me the truth, how do you know Shanti Devi?"

"Do you believe in recarnation this is my second birth and it is the truth, in my first birth Shanti Devi was my sister. My evil sister, who took my life, so she could become Raj Oberoi's wife."

"Don't tell me she married your love of your life."

"She never did Raj took his life and came to heaven with me."

"But she is still an Oberoi."

"Thats because she married Sudesh Oberoi."

"You knew everything in your dreams, who you were?"

"Yes, before my death and after my death."

"What happen after death?"

"Shanti Devi was becoming very evil, she let her granddaughter get raped by her father, not only that he impregnated her when she was 19."

"Oh my God that's horrible, what happen to her granddaughter, did she keep the baby."

"She ran away, but her baby died in the train, she met her future husband who list his wife while she gave birth to his son, his baby needed milk to survive."

"She provided milk and found her happiness, right."

"Yes, those two are my parents."

"What are you saying, Mala auntie was that girl."

"Yes."

"If you know your mothers past, do you know your fathers past."

"Yes."

Radhika told Nina what happen to her parents in the past, why she came back for revenge?"

"I've been stopping her selling drugs and human trafficking, I've covered my track, she doesn't know I am the rectifer who is destroying her."

"Radhika your very unique, one thing I know If I'm ever in trouble you'll always be there for me."

"Even if we are far, remember I will always be there when you need me."

Present

"My father arrange my marriage and then I moved to New York with my husband that was the last time I saw her, when she called me it was a sign from God that Radhika was the key for helping us find my daughters murderer."

"The way you talk about Radhika, she must be very special to you."

I would have become a prostitute by force if Radhika didn't save me so yeah she is very special to me."

"She is indeed special, I would like to meet her."

"She is coming with her rectifers."

"Can't wait to meet her."

********************************************

Today Radhika had called all the receiver for a meeting.

Samaira asked, "Radhika what's going on, why are we all here?"

"We all are going to New York to solve a murder of my best friend's daughter. My best friend Nina and I were both born in Reshkesh, we were friends until teenager, she got married and moved to New York, we were out of touch but recently her brother-in-law Sanjay got a message from New York, to make it short that's how I found my friend, and she needs us to solve her daughter's murder."

Teji asked, "How did she died?"

"What Nina told me is that she was murdered and raped, the original report was destroyed, they kidnap the doctor's family and gave Nina the fake report saying that she suicide."

Gauri said, "Do they still have the body, I could do her daughter's autopsy again."

"Yes, I will make sure Nina gets your message."

Jai said to his wife Gauri, "Gauri I don't think you should go to New York, since you are pregnant."

"You'll be with me, nothing will happen to the baby, besides I will leave after Nina gets justice, I just want to do this for her."

Radhika said, "I will make sure Gauri leaves with you after the autopsy."

"No Radhika, I want to be there until justice is served for that innocent girl."

"No buts you are leaving with your husband after the autopsy, your number one concern should be your baby, I will keep you updated on this case."

"Okay then I'll leave after the autopsy."

Jai says, "Thank you Radhika."

"Your welcome, does anyone have any concern about the case."

Neil said, "Well we'll need to go to the site where the murder accrue, maybe we can find clue."

"Yes we'll check that out to."

"I think I would like to take my children with me."

Arjun said, "Its too risky over there, I think they will be safe here."

"I don't know Arjun if they will be safe, I had a dream where our daughter gets kidnapped."

Samaira said, "Neil, let's hire a bodyguard for our children they have to be just like Salman Khan."

Neil said, "Thats going to be to hard to do, why don't we ask Ankush and Maanya to move in with your ma and pa until we return, we could even ask Riddihima di to keep an eye on the kids, more security the better."

Arjun said, "Neil we could ask our mother to keep an eye on the children to."

Radhika said, "I know your all trying to keep the children safe, I just hope my dream doesn't come true."

Niki said, "Don't worry Radhika, nothing will happen to Nandini, she is strong just like you."
