The Inexistent Highway..(Ep-28)

Reeha closed her eyes tightly.

She wiped her tears and decided to find out the rest of the truth. But where could she find it? It was only Garang who could tell her, but now he was dead. Suddenly she remembered Mr. Prathmay, the fraud lawyer. He surely must be knowing something about the story. She took out the letters and carefully read the address. It was a place that five hours from the city. But she had decided to know the truth.

She filed all the documents that were present near Ekshuk's body and took them along with her. After hours of traveling, she finally reached Mr. Prathmay’s house. There was no one in his home. She went inside. There was a huge balcony where a woman was sweeping the ground. She asked her. The woman looked at her with tears in her eyes. ''Are you Mrs. Garang?' She asked. Reeha looked at her with surprise and answered ''Yes, but how do you know'. ''Sahab is no more now, he committed suicide a few months ago, nobody knows what happened to him, he had a mental health condition' the woman told Reeha. Reeha was shocked to find a case so similar like Garang. ''Can you tell what happened?' She asked. ''madam I don't know exactly, but Sahab said he saw ghosts, he was admitted in the hospital, and then he hid in his own house, one day we saw him talking to someone, but there was none. And then finally he hung himself on the rope'. ''Did he tell you something about Garang?' Reeha asked. The woman took her to a room and then closed the door. ''Madam, few months before sahab died, he gave me some keys and a diary and asked me to hand it to Mrs. Garang when she would come to meet him.' Reeha asked in surprise ''Did he know I would come?'. ''I don't know about this. But he told me to hand it over to you.' Reeha looked at the keys with surprise. She opened the diary. ''Mrs. Reeha, one day you will surely be reading this. The crime that Garang and I did was something that you can never forgive us for. Let me tell you the whole story from the very beginning.

Garang and I studied in the same college, Central Law University. We both had the same story, and our parents forced us to study law. The result was that we never passed a single exam. We decided to run from our families and our boring life and start a business somewhere else. When we came to this city, we heard from the people regarding the farmer vs. state story. It was an excellent opportunity for both of us. We bribed the education staff to make our fake degrees.

And then finally I met a farmer from the Kamarkh village. I brainwashed him against the government officers by giving him drugs and suggested him to hire a lawyer. But he denied the offer.'
