CHAPTER 40

Siddartha is cold towards Ranjit

Siddartha and Amrita were in IG office. HM, Ranjit and other officers were also there. TV crew and journalists had also come there to interview Siddartha.

Ranjit hugged his daughter and looked at Siddartha with love.

Shaking hands with Siddartha, HM said, “You have done a great job.”

Siddartha smiled and nodded.

Other officers too gave shake hand to Siddartha.

Giving shake hand, IG said, “You are really a champion.”

Siddartha smiled.

Looking at Amrita, IG said, “By god’s grace, you escaped from the hands of those demon terrorists.”

Pointing to Siddartha proudly, Amrita said, “He came like god to rescue me.”

Looking at Siddartha, Amrita thought, “He is my real hero, my savior.”

Extending his hand to give shake hand, Ranjit said, “You are great.”

But Siddartha did not extend his hand. Ranjit was shocked.

Siddartha said seriously, “Excuse me, sir. I don’t want to even touch you. I hate you.”

Everyone was shocked to hear this. Amrita was also shocked. Ranjit looked the other way with sadness.     

Ranjit thought, “My rashness and my anger have spoilt things. But he is really great.  I must include his name in the commando list.”
