Ex-DCP Vijay IPS

Chapter 21

"In Vidya's case file, call the office she works at and forward me the Aadhi's details."

"Sare sir, ippude kanukkoni pampisthanu."

"Ok sir, I will check and send you right away."

I end the call and wait for the message. It takes about twenty minutes, but the moment I get the address, I tell Karan to drive there.

****

I ring the bell and the door is opened by an elderly woman.

"Evari kaavali babu?" The woman asks.

"Who do do you want son?" The woman asks.

"Amma, ikkada Aadhi ane vyakthi unnada?" I ask.

"Ma'am, is Aadhi here?" I ask.

"Ha, lopaliki ra babu." She moves aside to let me pass through.

"Yeah, come inside son." She moves aside to let me pass through.

I step into the house and look around as the woman leads me to the sofa and we sit down.

"Amma, Aadhi...?" I ask.

"Ma'am, Aadhi...?" I ask.

"Vaadu snanam chesthunnadu babu, velli theesukoni vastha."

"He's taking a shower son, I'll go bring him."

"Sare amma."

"Sure ma'am."

She walks into a room and five minutes later, comes out with a young man.

"Nuvvena Aadhi?" I ask.

"Are you Aadhi?" I ask

"Avunu sir."

"Yes sir."

"Neeku Vidya thelusa?"

"Do you know Vidya?"

"Vidya na? Ha thelusu sir. Enduku, emaindi sir Vidya ki?"

"Vidya? Yeah, I know her sir. Why, what happened to Vidya sir?"

I don't reply to him and take in his body language and the emotion in his eyes. He seems genuinely worried about Vidya.

"Neeku Vidya ela thelusu?" I ask.

"How do you know Vidya?" I ask.

"Sir, adi-"

"Sir that's-"

"Enti?" I ask.

"What?" I ask.

"Ante adi, thanu...thanu na girlfriend sir."

"Actually she's...she's my girlfriend sir."

"Vidya ki nuvvu ishtam ledu ani Saumya cheppindi?

"Saumya said Vidya didn't like you?"

"Starting lo Vidya ki ishtam ledu sir. Konna nelalu mundu iddaramu kalisamu. Kaani andariki cheppeki ready lenu ani cheppindi."

"Vidya didn't like me in the beginning sir. But we got together a few months back. She said she wasn't ready to tell everyone though."

"Sare, neeku Vidya gurinchi thelusthe naaku cheppu." I say, standing up.

"Ok, if you find out anything about Vidya, tell me." I say, standing up.

"Sir, Vidya ki emaindi sir asalu?" He asks.

"Sir, what even happened to Vidya sir?" He asks.

"Vidya konni rojula nunchi kanipinchatledu." I reply, and walk out.

"Vidya has been missing for a few days." I reply, and walk out.

"Sir." Karan says when he sees me.

"Vidya office ki pada." I tell him as we both get into the car.

"Let's go to Vidya's office." I tell him as we both get into the car.

I'm going to find her, no matter what it takes.
