Dev ~I look straight inside, peeping, my eyes piercing the window of the police station. The time I left my place was to come here. My reason for coming here was to See if Pankaj is doing well or not. For six months he is captive. Don't know how he must be doing. And don't know how many harsh beatings he must have taken for me, but still have not uttered a word.I slowly and quietly visited the police station putting a mask on my face which covered my nose and lips but kept my eyes open. From outside, each month I used to visit him in silence. He didn't know of this anytime that I visited. I used to just look for him and go. The first window in which I was peeping was unfortunately the commissioners cabin. The second was of another police official. Damn! have they shifted him to some other prison? I questioned myself as I couldn't find him anywhere. I am a master in climbing windows and coming down from them. There was no one outside the police station, I mean there were two police

Dev ~"So, you all were playing with her then?" I inquired."Yes, boss, you are right," responded Mayank."But trust us, boss, she was all good," Suraj interrupted."You all know right that we are planning to take Pankaj from their clutches? Then why are you people not understanding the intensity of it? Y'all are playing with her, entertaining her but don't care about your fellow member? I am very aggrieved," I meant. "I will let this both slide, but Raghav you, you knew very well where I was visiting. Weren't you?"I asked, my eyes flitting at him."I know my boss and I am sorry for that, but she was made to stay here, so she should have been made livable first. You saw she was dreading seeing us, right?" deciphered Raghav, apologetically.When shalmali hugged me for the second time, I don't know why but it felt gentle, warm and cosy. I have never ever once felt like that. She trusts me, does she?If so, why? I have solely mistreated her the whole time. Why is she affectionate towar

The morning sunshine had started to pour on the roof of Dev's hideout. Shalmali was slumbering on the cot-like bed inside, where they all made her sleep.The rest of the members were awake by now but only Dev and shalmali were sleeping. Shalmali rubbed her eyes which were dry as the fluid inside it had parched due to sleep. She was a bit restless today. Didn't know what was making her so, but she took too many turns on the bed while opening her eyes. She let out a huge whimper then.By hearing that, all the members ran into the room to see what had actually happened. Dev woke up with covering his ears and a disgusting clicking of his tongue."What in the world is happening to that silly girl?" He said to himself."What happened?" asked Mayank running towards her.She went on crying holding her stomach. Tears started to trickle down from her eyes till it flowed to her chin and all the way towards the sheets of mattresses on the cot."What's it, tell us?" asked Raghav."Yes. Did you s
