It was a lone night,
I was travelling all alone and before I could reach home,
I got a call from my friend…!
It felt like either his life was in danger…
or he had taken someone’s;
G0d knows what it was,
but fear was resonating clearly from his voice—
Ravi—
“I did it bhai…
I found that man and I did what I had to…”
Me—
“What are you talking about Ravi…?”
Ravi—
“The same man…
the one who brutally assaulted and k1lled that little girl from our vicinity—”
I cut him off.
The connection was poor.
I told him to move somewhere open.
But my mind…
it had already started running in all directions.
Ravi—
“I found him…
and as soon as I got a chance,
I pounced on him…
A fight broke out…”
“What happened next… Ravi?”
Ravi—
“I knew he’d overpower me…
so I took out the knife I kept on my waist…
in case I ever needed it…”
My thoughts went to the worst place.
A brief pause…
“I had to, Waakiye…
I had to do it…”
“She called me her brother…
I watched her grow up…
and I—”
He stopped.
I think her face came in front of him.
“Is he alive…?”
I asked.
Ravi—
“He was…
gasping for air…
when I opened his neck…”
“I watched him suffer…
just like she would have…”
Silence.
“Where are you…?” I asked.
“Send me your location.”
“Okay…”
The call ended.
A few seconds later——
I heard a ping on my phone;
Just a few minutes away.
————
I drove there.
And I saw him.
Sitting cross-legged…
right next to the body.
Staring at the blood-soaked sand beneath him.
“Ravi…?”
No response.
“Ravi…!”
Nothing.
“RAVI…!”
On the third call—he moved.
He rushed toward me,
collapsed onto me…
and broke.
Tears;
Shaking hands;
A voice that didn’t belong to the man I knew.
“I just wanted to scare him…
but it…
it became this…”
“I had to k1ll him…”
“He would have escaped…
hurt someone else…”
As I looked into his eyes—
and then at the lifeless one behind him—
Only one thought came to my mind—
I have to save him.
⸻
“Give me the knife.”
