When Radha went back to college… (Part XII)

I penned this story, When Radha went back to college… (Part XII), as a Guru Dakshina to all my teachers and professors, some years ago.

When Radha went back to college… (Part XII)

Radha decided to go to the store room once again alone.

That afternoon, when her lectures were over, she went to the store room. She had not told anybody about it.

As she entered the store room, Radha switched on her torch. She had put the latch from the inside. Sometime later, she thought she heard a muffled laughter. Nobody was there in the store room, so she thought it must be some students, passing nearby.

When Radha found nothing significant inside the store room, she went to the door, opened the latch and pulled at the door.

The door did not budge!

She could not shout, since she could not let anybody know that she was in the store room. Finding no other alternative, she called Shalini Ma’am from her mobile, who discreetly came to her rescue.

“Radha, you should not have taken the risk,” Shalini Ma’am looked concerned as they came to the main building. “Luckily, I was in the staffroom and could take the call. We are not allowed to take calls inside the class.”

“That means someone knows that I am investigating the case and doesn’t want me to do it!” Radha told her about the muffled laugh. “That someone could even be Shekhar,” she told herself.
