:::::After the Door Closed::::
The house stayed quiet for a long time after the car left.
Priya sat on the edge of the chair with her face in her hands. The tears came without sound at first, then harder. When she finally spoke, her voice was thick and broken.
“She deceived us. We believed she was protecting us. We believed she was a good officer. And all of it was empty. A useless officer who left us open and then acted like a hero outside.”
Raghu had been standing near the table, staring at nothing. He came and sat beside her. For a moment neither of them looked at the other. The recording, the familiar faces of the men from the security office, and the last line about protection and what had happened to Priya were still sitting in the room like a weight.
“It’s all because of that bitch,” Raghu said at last. The anger in his voice was flat and heavy. “She chose her work. She chose her image. She closed the chapter on this house and on us. I will make her feel it. I will take revenge.”
Priya lifted her head at once.
“No. Please. Leave it. We can go from here. We can take the child and leave this place. If we stay in this fight we will only break more.”
Raghu shook his head hard.
“How can we leave like that? How can we walk away without making her know this pain? How you were gangbanged. How I met with that accident. The whole cost fell on us because she did not give protection. And now we should simply leave and stay quiet? No. She has to know what she did to this house.”
Priya’s tears came again, but she did not argue in a long speech. She only repeated, softer,
“If we go after her we may lose whatever we still have. Please, Raghu.”
He did not soften. The trust he had carried for Nisha had turned into something sharp and simple: she had failed them, the recording and the men from his own office had confirmed it, and the suffering in this house needed an answer. He stood up and walked a few steps across the room, hands closed, breathing hard.
“She will not walk away clean from this. Not after what happened to you. Not after what happened to me.”
Priya stayed on the chair, crying quietly, torn between fear of more damage and the same hurt that had taken hold of him.
Raghu’s eyes moved across the table where the PA had sat. Among the empty space left behind, one small thing remained — a visiting card, placed neatly and left on purpose. The name and number of the minister’s personal assistant sat face up under the light.
He stared at it for a long moment. The anger did not cool. It only found a direction.
Priya saw where he was looking and her face changed again, but she did not spea
