Chapter 215 - I just went away for a couple of days, and you won’t even look at me. (1/2)

I raised my head as my body was held by Eshan, tightly, limiting my movements. I had to get those photos before those policemen saw them. The face on them was mine; I could not let them see it. It would only add to my humiliation.

Meeting Eshan's calm eyes, I wondered why he did not get my point. He saw through their schemes, he took actions, but then why did not he understand such an important thing? He would have to face the criticism and humiliation of the world. He would be ashamed before those men. How could he not take action of destroying them?

Moisture pooled in my eyes. Feeling helpless, I brought my hands in-between us to push him. Before those men saw those photos, I had to destroy them.

”Shh...” Eshan wiped my face.

”Those photos... destroy, I need to destroy it...” I stammered. The shock of other people seeing those photos was enough to lose my bearings. So much had transpired in the last hour, that I could feel myself being emotionally drained.

”Relax. They need those photos. We can't destroy evidence,” Eshan said calmly. His eyes held the storm, but there was confidence in his body language. He was certain that nothing would go wrong.

Evidence? Oh, he was right. Those photos were evidence, but still, I did not want people to see it. I panicked and my actions became frantic.

”No… They…” I shook my head rapidly.

Eshan cupped my head firmly. ”It's okay. They all are female officers.”

”I've asked for female officers. Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine,” he repeated looking earnestly in my eyes. ”Bear it for a little longer...”

”The hell. You can't arrest us. We haven't done anything,” Ayesha's mother yelled as she protested.

Coming back to the present with her voice, I nodded at Eshan. We had more pressing matters in hand. I turned around giving him a reassuring look. Though I was nervous, I wanted to see them receiving their punishment.

They would know what it meant to play with a woman's character. There were five female officers currently in our living room surrounding Ayesha and her mother. They held handcuffs before them. Ayesha's mother was creating a scene as she refused to get handcuffed.

”Ma'am, you've all the evidence. Please make sure that they get the punishment,” Eshan said as he crossed his arms across his chest.

A senior looking female officer nodded. ”Yes, Mr. Singhaniya. Thank you for your co-operation.”

”Take them away,” she ordered her subordinates.

All the photos from the floor, and in Ayesha's mother's possession, were picked up. Another female officer was placing them in the evidence bag. My heart trembled by looking at those photos. I knew they were photoshopped. I knew it was all nothing but the conspiracy, yet I could not stop myself from shuddering.

Eshan squeezed my shoulder when he saw me looking at those photos. He nodded his head in negative. I looked away.

I then noticed the camera in another female officer's hand. They had come prepared. Where were they? Were they in the house? But, how?

How did they know what would happen? How did Eshan know? When had he called them over? Have they been watching everything all along? Watching us all along?

Ayesha's mother was seething in anger. Her face had gone red and she looked so vicious. I felt afraid of looking at her appearance. She reminded me so much of my father. Even after standing at so much distance, I could feel her fury.
