Prithvi exhaled deep " Jaan you're worried for this only I thought…! He grinned at her disbelief

Sanyogita kept her hands on her hips “Perhaps you can say it so easily as you have an ocean of wealth. But just keep yourself by my side and think about my situation. I'm nothing but a lost little mouse. I have only 5 lacs in my bank account. “

Prithvi looked at her silently, keeping both his hands in either of his trousers pockets.

Sanyogita seemed to be looking frustrated. She sat on the couch and covered her mouth with both hands.

Prithvi took a seat beside her “Hey just listen to me..

Sanyogita didn't look at him.

Prithvi continued, " I'll be providing funds to you for your business."

“What?" She removed her hands from her face , met his gaze 

“ yes .. in fact why there's a need to take a loan from a bank? I'm here with you… 

“ No .." her voice was more like breathing.

" Why not?? “

" Because I already owe you. In the past, you already helped me with 14 lacs for Ariyan's treatment and also you returned me six lacs for that bracelet, Papa's last memory. Of the total twenty lakhs, eight lakhs only repay you. If I Take  further money from you I will be pressed down under the piles of owe for sure”

Prithvi listened to his wife with full concentration.. Perhaps her husband was a business tycoon. His total net worth was six thousand crores. Yet she didn't have eyes on his bank balance. He understood her reticence and realised she was a self-respected woman. Her self-esteem was the status of her dignity. 

“ Okay, I got it. But listen to me Just once “ He put his hand over her shoulder

" When you start your own company you can easily return the money to your husband “

Sanyogita motions her eyes over his determined face. His eyes have faith and motivation.

She didn't answer back. 

“Okay, babba!! Pay me back the money with interest.. ab toh Maan jaoo!! “" Prithvi's eyes move over the black face of his wife. He was determined to make her agree anyhow.

He observed her lips curve upwards and gave him a light smile. She kept her head over his shoulder. 

Prithvi's left hand left Swift around her completely, pulling her into his chest.

“ Jungli billi “ He giggled at her demeanour.

" What did you ? “" She looked at him with a gap 

" Wild cat ka hindi” He grinned

She rolled her eyes. She picked up a pillow from the couch and hit him in the shoulder. 

“ you are a Junglee Billa ( tomcat)”

Prithvi put his hands before to catch the pillow ..his brows raised, and he looked at her with unbelievable eyes. 

After a fraction of a second, both of them started to laugh at each other. They soon indulged in pillow fighting. Their laughter was echoing in the corner of the wall. 

*********

Three months have passed like the flow of a river waiting for none.

Sambhavi was doing considerably better than earlier. Sanyogita commenced her new company, Fashion Designing and modelling upon the advice and support of her husband. She felt proud of her husband as there was a phrase behind every successful man there is a woman but in her story life has made a twist. It was her husband.

She apprised him that until everything went normally they couldn't contact a lawyer.

Prithvi even found her advice was genuine. More than that he was pleased seeing her concern and esteem for their small family. 

Ultimately the day arrived when Prithvi took out two hours from his busy schedule to talk with the criminal lawyer. 

Arjun provided him a list of the 10 best Criminal lawyers, among which only 2 were ready to take the case

but Sanyogita chose the last one as the previous one was a lady and she was in her last trimester.

The last criminal lawyer was a male .

They reached the house .The worker told them to take a seat in the living room.

5 minutes later, a lady came

" Hello ! Mrs and Mr Malhotra LLM in criminal justices… Miss Indrani Jaiswal, in short Indu"

" Hello! Miss Jaiswal " PrithviSanyo Greeted together.

"We thought your father would take the case " Prithvi said with a surprise

"Actually Papa had quit private practice for so long, now I'm taking care of it. "

PrithviSanyo exchanged a glance

"What happened, why are you surprised ?? don't you want to believe that because I'm a woman! " Indrani sounded joking

" No . Noo.. Miss Jaiswal, it's not like that. Actually we were informed it was, Mr.Ishwar Jaiswal, that's why we become surprised " Sanyogita said with an embarrassment

" Ohhkk… it's alright Papa told me last night I'll handle the case . But he guided me . And he is my inspiration "

Prithvi Sanyo nodded their head in unison witnessing the love and respect of Indrani for her father.

In the middle Mr. Jaiswal arrived . He introduced himself and told them the same thing.

Indrani said "So without wasting much time let's start the discussion. I mean goes on… although I heard little regarding your case I would like to hear from you since the Beginning "

Sanyogita looked at Prithvi and he blinked once. Indrani noticed this although didn't comment.

Sanyogita started " I want to reopen the case of my sister… my sister's rape case … .. she said everything from the beginning to till Nishant's father reached their Malhotra mansion. 

Indrani was listening to her attentively. She was looking very professional and confident. " Okay … Mrs Malhotra… One thing I would like to ask you is why didn't you think about reopening this before. And why did you consult with a lawyer even three months after you met Mr.Nishant whom you claimed to be the Major culprit of your sister.

Sanyogita felt a pinch in her stomach when Indrani Jaiswal addressed Nishant as Mr. Although she decided rather than paying attention to her burning fire of revenge in her chest against Nishant , thought to look upon the matter for which both the husband and wife come for. 

"We have our personal problems And talking about the past I tried but I was helpless. It wasn't easy for me. Now when I see the culprit I can’t close my eyes in peace "

Prithvi gets a pinch 

Jaiswal looked at Sanyogita with constricted eyes as if she was trying to scrutinise something from Sanyogita’s words. " Mrs. Malhotra, where is Mr. Ranawat now, btw ?

“ He is in jail " Prithvi responds before Sanyogita opens her mouth. 

Indrani exhaled a heavy breath and said" Okay…Mrs. Malhotra, you said it was the case of 2011 and your sister was in the batch of 2010.

" Yes "

" Did you know Over 3,00,000 rape cases were reported in India from the years 2011-2020? The number is enough to make every single hair on your body stand up straight. "

Sanyogita was stunned as well as Prithvi.

Indriani sighs and continues " You are surprised, inevitable. Mrs Malhotra, your case isn't difficult, but it is a matter of a long time. I mean more than a decade there is much more evidence that must be removed by those boys. there is a high possibility the court will soon give their judgement due to lack of evidence “

Sanyogita’s heart skipped a beat, and a sudden rose flame within her started to extinguish “ Jis ke pass koi saboot nahi hota kya ho begunah nahi hota kya ?”

“Mrs. Malhotra , hota hai..I just said one possibility …there is a phrase, life is full of twists and surprises . When we lose faith all of a sudden then we find hope in the rays surprisingly .There are many more cases that reopen 16, and 18 years later, and still people get justice. I’ll take your case ..but you have to be patient. I believe you can as if you can wait for 11 years then I’m sure this time too. “

Prithvi and Sanyogita exchange a glance with hope.

"Mrs Malhotra when you visited Nishant's house you just said that he tried to represent your husband… I mean Mr. Malhotra was one of the accused. "

" Yes" Sanyogita nodded her head

Prithvi narrows his arrows to Indrani.

" Okay… if he could represent Mr. Malhotra to you like a culprit there is a 100% possibility when the case will be reached to the court it's obvious he will pull your husband also. "

" what??" Sanyogita's eyes grew wider, she was naturally looking as shocked as worried for her husband. 

Prithvi patted her hand, a sign nothing bad would come . However, he was worried about this too

" Yes, Mr. Malhotra, according to your wife, whatever she heard from Nishant regarding that girl…

"Sarika " Sanyogita replied

" Yes, Sarika , how and when did your school authority discover her dead body? ""

" it's a suicide, according to the principal he gave that news to the girl's family.”

" Okay… but here your friend Nishant accused you of her death"

Prithvi gave a glance when Indrani addressed Nishant as his friend. He felt it was a taunt.

" No, he isn't my friend anymore. He is a criminal, a liar, an m.." he closed his eyes in disgust

" Okay .. relax Mr. Malhotra, my intention wasn't to hurt you emotionally.. I'm just doing my duty . I'm guessing all those probabilities which can come when the case will get reopen permission from the court "

Sanyogita looked at Prithvi and she assured him through the gesture of eyes.

"Anyway, I would like to hear everything about the incident which Nishant represented to your wife, "

"Okay " Prithvi nodded

Indrani ordered her secretary to record all the statements of Prithvi in a writing pad. 

Indrani continues “Thank you Mr.Malhotra. First, we have to appeal to the court and wait for their approval. You said there wasn't any investigation of the case of Miss Janvi , we have to go to Delhi to reopen the FIR in the police station . By how college your sister

was ?”’

“Hansraj college , , New North Delhi “

[Disclaimer: I’m from Kolkata , and I don’t basic location of Delhi all places are imaginary, I search some details on Google]

“Okay, Mrs . Malhotra I would like to talk with the batchmates of Miss Janvi, ist it possible?? I mean are you still in touch with some of them ?””

“ Among friend zones of Di I knew only two girls , One now lives in Thane and another one in Nagpur , the rest of them I know nothing “Sanyogita's face dropped,

“Don’t worry, we will find out “ Prithvi said after saying mute in the conversation “For the Rest of the members don’t panic, I

will look after this matter. The DIG of that district is known to me. We can get help from him. I’m sure he will definitely help us take out the details of all the batches of

that period .”

Sanyogita put on a smile

Indraini exclaimed “ Brilliant Mr. Malhotra, then our work will be easier, DIG even helped us to reopen the case . But I’m just thinking , how many of the batch mates will come to help us.

There was pause

Sanyogita looked at Indrani and her words were stuck in her head , she didn’t look after this side .

Prithvi was also trying to think ahead, trying to figure out other ways to help his wife.

“It’s a matter of a rape case many people ignore it only after hearing it. Every morning our heart aches after going through the newspaper. Nevertheless, very few of them come to help those victims, And we have to search for those few people who will give whatever they remember in their statement to the court. “

“Okay, Miss Jaiswal I’ll go and request them to help me in this mission “

“Okay Mrs Malhotra “

Prithvi looked at Sanyogita,he wanted to ask her but realising they were outside he thought he would talk to her later about her decision.
