Scarred Soul

Part 43

"If he won, he'll get both, if he lose than nothing.. But there's no gain or loss for you..

Listening her words, The warmth faded from his eyes, as his lips curled up in grim smile, and his grip tighten over the pen till it's broke in his hand. Despair crawled in his heart, as he walked upto the recliner placed near window.

"And you're curious about?

"Your involvement, providing security, gathering evidence, and hiring me as her lawyer, Why?

"How does it concern you?

"Not concerning me, but makes me curious.. Why put efforts if there's no benefits?

"With love, moment of togetherness is equivalent to lifetime..

"Being philosopher hm.. But does she know your feelings? Will you pursue her once she win?

He didn't reply just gazed at his phone, she got her answer without him telling her, but before she could speak. His assistant arrived in the cabin. And passed her a file, out of curiosity she looked into it. And frown Deepened, as she look into the file. This deceitful men, how could he.. She couldn't help but curse while reading.

"Who's this women?.

"His sister..

She didn't reply, but look at the men who was gazing at the rising sun with warm cup of coffee in one hand now. And phone in other hand, Anticipating to hear anything from him, after all no one knows better than her how much grudge he hold against Abhimaan.

"You can take our assistance, but this will drag the case..

"Doesn't matter, the law procedure of justice is slower than snail here...

"You sound quite disappointed?

"You've no Idea..

"Alright then I think this can help Miss Rathor..

Soon enough another file was presented to her by his assistant, she sighed and start to inspect the content, Only to frown in disbelief.

"Are they even human..

"Doesn't this prove how human they're?

Speechless she glared at his assistant who was conversing with her till now, then look back at file, indeed it's human tendency to be selfish and greedy. If person is immune to emotion then they're no human. But here what the people did for sake of selfishness and greed is validate them to be demon in disguise of human.

"Well human of demon, this will definitely help to punish them..

"Confidence is good, but overconfidence is lethal..

The advise was more like warning, that she couldn't help look up at the mn who was silent till now. Is he accusing her of underestimating Abhimaan Or overestimating herself? Perhaps both.

"If he can't defeat he'll eliminate..

"Are you telling me Or scaring me?

He didn't reply look back at the rising sun, taking small sip of his coffee. To him it was pointless to proceed with law when one know justice is hard to seek in hall of court, Due to high influence of rich.

"Anyway, thanks for informing and warning.. But for now tell me she know?

He shook his head, still didn't say anything. As if his words are no less than bitcoin he can't spent rashly. She scoff at his nonchalant attitude but sigh inwardly it's not new for her. He has been like this since she met him. And as much she like people who don't change like season, she doesn't seem fond of him being so cold and aloof.

"Do you wish for me to let her know?

He shrugged his shoulder, at this what'll be better, let her know and let her be prepare for what's coming, or let her give good show to her opponent?. All three of thought the same but at end drop the burden on Presha to decide the rest. Once the assistant walked out she look up at Samrat then told him.

"Samrat, a friendly advise, give up, unrequited love will hurt you..

He tilted his head to glance at her, then smiled faintly. To which Presha sigh inwardly, looking at people like him she never wish to be in love.

Stepping inside the chamber of justice, after showing her pass. She looked at the women who stood beside Abhimaan. Then averting her gaze walked upto her place. Despite knowing what's going to happen next she couldn't help but feel agitated and uneasy. Though Presha told her to be calm and she promise but she can't help it. And feel anxious until a hand clasp her's it was warm unlike her hand which was cold. She look up only to see Samrat besides her, holding her hand in his. And his gaze convey what his tongue couldn't that, "Whatever may come we face together. " She nodded at him, a part of her felt guilty, for burdening him with her troubles, but other part of her felt calm and comforted. Soon she look ahead at the jury. Today with Samrat, her father was present with her in court too. Where's her sister Riya was with Aadhya taking care of her back in home. Soon the hearing begin and the allegations, arguments point evidence presented by Defense broke her resolve to be calm.

"Please, introduce yourself to jury and let us know what you've done..

"I'm Naina Sahay.. I'm the one who abducted the plaintiff, and even drugged the accused here.. To ruin her.. I even release the pic of their intimate moment to ruin her reputation..

"Is there any evidence to support your confession?..

"Yes.. My laptop, has relevant info to support my claim, such as transaction of money to people who abducted her.. And publish image of her..

"Your honor, according to the documentary evidence and oral evidence presented today, it's proven my client is innocent.. We can't deny charges of assault but my client was  drugged and framed I beg the Jury to spare mercy..
