Maroon Page #2

Got you some chicken soup.

I'll just get dressed.

Just make yourself comfortable. - Yeah.

I hope you don't mind.

Thank you. - How's it?

Isn't it nice?

It's nice.

Did you check our papers?

Almost.

Can I take a look?

It's all there.

I thought I did well in my exams.

What's wrong?

C minus.

Don't change it if it's not good.

They're just grades, doesn't make a difference.

It's just that you're not doing me any favors

by letting me off so easy.

I came here to learn.

And performing well in your class means a lot to me.

You're the best teacher I've had

since I've come to the University.

How long have you been in the University?

Not much.

But I did go to the library.

I've read all your poems.

So what do you think?

I love them.

I mean, they're dark

but they're so true.

I even made a photocopy and put it up on my wall.

I hope you don't mind.

Are you married?

Yes.

Where is she?

She's gone to Delhi for some work.

She'll be back soon.

May I use the washroom?

Yes, please. It's there.

Hello.

Saurabh Sharma?

Yes.

Ashish speaking.

Where's Roshni?

What work do you have with Roshni?

What have you done?

What do you mean?

Where the hell is Roshni?

What do you care?

The police found her car close to my house.

They think I am behind Roshni's disappearance.

You must have because you were sleeping with her.

If you harm Roshni.. - What will you do?

What will you do?

She's my wife. What does she mean to you?

I will kill you if Roshni..

Buzz off!

Sakshi!

Sakshi!

Sakshi!

God! Sakshi. Sakshi.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Sakshi, I'll wait outside.

I'll get water.

Feeling better?

Is it paining?

It's strange.

I heard someone's voice.

Must be the neighbors.

They make quite a racket. You can hear them all the way here.

Or I might have imagined.

I'm taking caffeine pills to stay awake.

I think you should relax.

No, I think I should leave.

How can you go like this?

Thank God, it stopped bleeding.

Thank you.

Come, I'll drop you home

No! I am fine.

Any friends?

I had, back in school.

Lots of them.

I think the people here don't like me much.

I thought doing college away from home will be fun

but I spend most of my time alone.

You're the first person I like talking to.

Wear it.

This is my wife's.

I hope she won't mind.

So we'll meet tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

University?

Of course.

You're coming, right? - Yes.

Bye.

Where's Roshni?

Roshni!

Roshni!

Roshni!

Roshni!

What have you done with her?

Scumbag!

Hell I know you did something. Right?

Yes.

I did what I always do.

I woke up.

I went to my crappy job

came back home, cooked dinner for my wife

who was too busy

bouncing up and down on your bed springs.

Not exactly what I had planned for my life.

Just leave.

And don't come back here again.

If anything happens to Roshni, I will kill you!

Hello, Mr. Negi - Mr. Sharma.

I tried calling you couple of times.

Any news about Roshni? - No, but I need to talk to you.

Sir, Ashish came here. - Ashish?

Yes and he attacked me.

Are you all right?

Yes, I am fine. I just want you to know.

Should I send an ambulance?

No, no need for an ambulance.

Well, I am coming over.

I'll be out in a minute!

I was applying some ice.

Are you sure you don't need a doctor?

No. I am fine.

This is Inspector Prakash

and this is Bala.

They will be assisting me on this case.

I..

May we come in? - Sorry.. Come in.

Please come in.

So Ashish came here?

Yes!

Why? Do you have any idea?

He's an idiot.

I'm afraid he can come again.

Don't worry at all.

We'll file a complaint against him.

As soon as I am done here

I'll send these two to arrest him.

But is there any link between Roshni's disappearance and him?

I don't' know.

We don't even know whether they met that day or not.

She left from school and disappeared.

But Roshni's car was found near Ashish's home?

But we can't reach to any conclusion with that.

Sir. Shall we take photo?

Photo?

To lodge a complaint against Ashish.

Just a minute, sir.

Such investigations can get quite demanding.

Especially when someone you love, is gone missing.

I understand.

If you feel like talking to anyone

then, there are people who can relate to your situation.

Those who are willing to listen and ready to help.

Mr. Sharma, do you know that your wife was having an affair?

With Ashish.

From almost a year.

Do you have another relationship?

I wish.

Mr. Sharma, such cases are very common.

I am not saying all of them

but in most of the cases

the results are always unfortunate.

I am not saying that you should abandon all hope.

But you must prepare yourself for anything.

We'll do our best.

Let's start the search.

Search?

Don't worry

we won't touch anything without your permission.

Fine.

Let's start with the bedroom.

Bedroom's upstairs.

Does your wife carry a credit card?

Yes. - Can I see the bills?

They're downstairs in her room.

It's locked.

She keeps her stuff here.

May I try?

Yes, please.

You broke it off.

Mr. Sharma, it's just a drawer.

I am sure she will understand.

Trust me, she won't.

These are the bills.

It's arranged date wise. - Sir..

I found this under the bed.

Does this belong to Roshni?

God! No.

It's has blood on it, Mr. Sharma!

I know.

Look, this might sound strange to you but..

Last night, after you left one of my students came home.

And she was very nervous and had a bloody nose.

Why was she nervous?

She was nervous. She looked nervous to me.

Isn't it weird? - Hmm..

Look..

Here was blood on her t-shirt

so I gave her Roshni's kurta to wear

but when she left this in the bedroom

I have no clue.

What's her name?

Sakshi!

I want to talk to her.

Give it to me.

This one Sakshi.

Sakshi doesn't know anything about Roshni's disappearance.

Get me a glass of water.

Water.

She sounds nice.

I think she intentionally left her T-shirt here.

Sir, I found this diary. - Where?

It was behind this table.

I didn't know about this.

Sometimes we need to keep certain things to ourselves.

Otherwise we'll go crazy.

Is this your wife's handwriting?

Perhaps, we hardly get to know someone.

Did you know that your wife was pregnant?

I am sorry.

I spoke to her doctor yesterday.

I thought you knew it.

Please.. I want to be alone for a while.

You have to understand that our priority is finding your wife.

And as per my understanding this case isn't easy.

We might have to take the media's help.

In such cases where we don't get any substantial lead

if we show her picture on the television

we might get some help.

I don't understand anything.

I want my wife back.

We're trying to help you only.

If you want your wife back

then let us do our job.

I want to sleep.

I am tired.

I..

You can come back tomorrow.

Just let me be alone today.

Fine!

Can I keep this with me for today?

It's best that you don't know certain things.

Please only for today.

Please.

Thank you.

Hello.

Mr. Sharma. This is Mrs. Desai from the University.
