Raat ke 2 baje the.
Police station almost khaali.
Inspector Aarav apne cabin me akela baitha tha.
Lights dim.
Table par wahi envelope pada tha jo killer chhod gaya tha.
Uske dimaag me ek hi sawaal ghoom raha tha:
"Mujhse juda kaise?"
Aarav ne drawer khola.
Uske andar ek purani file thi —
10 saal purani.
Case Name: Operation Red Room
Uski aankhen file par tik gayi.
Ye wo case tha…
jiske baare me usne kabhi kisi ko nahi bataya.
Us waqt Aarav ek junior officer tha.
Ek illegal detention case.
Kuch suspects.
Kuch galat decisions.
Aur ek naam…
jo officially dead declare kar diya gaya tha.
Aarav ne dheere se naam padha.
Kabir Malhotra
Uska haath kaanp gaya.
"Impossible…" usne khud se kaha.
"Wo to—"
Tabhi computer screen blink hui.
Email aayi.
From: Unknown
Subject: Red Room remembers.
Message me sirf ek line thi:
"Tumne mujhe system ke naam par mita diya,
ab main tumhara system mitaunga."
Aarav peeche kursi par baith gaya.
Sach dheere dheere saamne aa raha tha.
Killer random nahi tha.
Wo past ka zakhm tha.
Aur tabhi…
ek aur shock.
CCTV monitor par ek familiar face dikha.
Deputy Inspector Verma.
Aarav ka trusted officer.
Wo kisi ko secret file de raha tha.
Camera angle clear tha.
Aarav ki aankhen narrow ho gayi.
"Matlab… andar se koi madad kar raha hai."
Game sirf Aarav vs Killer nahi tha.
Ye Aarav vs system ban chuka tha.
Usne phone uthaya aur ek message type kiya:
"Kabir… agar tum zinda ho,
toh saamne aao."
Reply turant aaya.
"Main saamne hi hoon, Aarav.
Bas tum dekh nahi pa rahe."
Raat aur gehri ho gayi.
Aur sach…
ab chhup nahi sakta tha.
Wait please 6chapter.....🙇😌
