The Amnesiac!

I wrote this story, The Amnesiac!, in the 1990s for an educational course, I was taking then. Here’s the first part.

The Amnesiac!

“Hello,” Radha spoke into the office phone.

“Hello? Is that Radha?”

“Who’s this?”

“It’s Keshav. Have you blocked my number on your cell phone? Your number is unreachable.”

“You could have called me with a different name. Why did you give your real name?” She was still upset with him for playing a prank with her. “I don’t want to talk to you,” and she banged the phone down.

Within an hour, she was told to meet the editor in the conference room. Senior Inspector Keshav Pradhan was present there. Mr. Iyer told her to sit down near Keshav and said, “Aakash was found near the city dump under suspicious circumstances. He told the police that he worked here. But he does not remember where he was for the last 48 hours. He is recuperating in the hospital, now. I want you to investigate this story with Keshav. First go and meet Aakash at the hospital. Ask Asha to come with you.”
