A scream escaped my lips as the Inspector’s hand tightened around my Dad’s neck. I flung myself upon him and tried to pry his hands off. It mildly registered in my head that my Dad wasn’t fighting back. I could hear him trying to say something as the Inspector punched and hit him.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsNSmJ4dlE

“Sir! What in the world are you doing?” Someone pushed me away roughly and pulled the Inspector away from my Dad. My mind was so confused that it took me a while to recognize the person who intervened. It was Uncle Sunder. He was assisting the Inspector in the investigation. He was also a dear friend of my Dad.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcejSwcStXz

“What happened?” He asked Dad.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeGY4XREwQ

“The Inspector attacked him out of the blue.” I exclaimed. “He…He…He was trying to strangle…”853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVpqUpHS9f

The Inspector did not look any less angry. But he seemed to realize the gravity of what he had done. He mumbled something like an apology to Dad and walked away.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6atxMDHH75

“Sunder…Do not report this incident.”853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s3UqzbNBw
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx4jgK47XG
“What! Not report…Dad…he…”853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ2GahSp1h

“It was thoughtless of him.” Dad said. He stroked his neck. I could see the angry red marks of the Inspector’s fingers. Why? Why was he letting it go? Why didn’t he want the Inspector punished?853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyGTc1EKMx
Uncle Sunder, on the other hand, was not at all surprised by Dad’s decision.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c6OKojcBM

“If you say so.” He nodded curtly and said.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IAdUiT2Qo

The voice, calm and cool, spoke in my head. “Poor Ram…”853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU5XtkcwvR

Uncle Sunder left soon after. The spectators left too as the show was over. As Dad lead me to my class, deaf to the million questions that I threw at him, the rational part of my brain rushed to an unpleasant conclusion.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA7eiyWYVW

Everything that the Inspector said was true. If it was so…Could I blame him for attacking Dad? I felt numb, helpless…Unable to even think about the things I heard.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9NF6suCRD

“They’re all true, aren’t they? The things that the Inspector said…” I asked him, as we reached the class. “Is that why you are not answering my questions?”853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1p30REBmi
853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqlA6Y1Z5A
I hoped…I desperately hoped he would shout at me…say that not a word of those dreadful accusations was true. But…He…He just went away. Without a word…Without a single word.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnVCTvgCBS
I walked mechanically into the classroom. By the time I sat down on my bench, I was sobbing uncontrollably.853Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTW70mqqrv
