The Bungalow Number - 420 Part 11
"Who is he ? Do you know him? ", Rohan asked repeatedly. He didn't understand why his friend froze looking at the dead body. He had seen many dead bodies before that. He hadn't reacted this way when he had seen them all. He nudged him. "Do you know him?", he asked again.
Manoj looked at him as if he was asked for his kidneys. He wanted to say no but he just nodded. "What do you mean by your nod ? Do you know him or not?", he asked sternly. "Yes ! I know him ! He was my blackmailer !", he blurted out in anger. Rohan stared at him in shock. "I don't know why he came here !", Manoj said as he dropped to floor clueless.
He stared at the dead body. The eyeballs were hanging out from the socket. There were many scratches on the hands, legs and chest. The clothes were ripped and wet with blood. He couldn't imagine that he had spoken to the man lying dead yesterday. Life was unpredictable. "I don't understand why would your blackmailer come here. Wouldn't he find you at your place? Are you hiding something from me?", Rohan asked curiously.
Manoj had already blurted out partial truth. He had to be careful to share anything with him. "Hmmm... How would I know he would come here.", he lied , trying to cover the truth. Rohan knelt down and got closer to his friend. "You know the truth very well. Speak up before I rip your skin like your friend.", he snapped at him.
His friend was perturbed by his sudden temper. He had never seen this side of Rohan. "Ok ! Ok ! I will tell you the truth !", he said hurriedly. Rohan calmed down and sat aside. Manoj gulped and said, "This man is Roger. He belongs to one of notorious mafia gangs. I had taken money from him for emergency. I hadn't known who he was that time. Later I got to know who he was . So I paid him the money immediately with the interest. But he wasn't satisfied. He keeps blackmailing from me for more." Fake tears welled up in his eyes and melted Rohan's heart.
"Hmm ! Is there anything else you hiding?", Rohan asked. Manoj replied no. They got up and cleared the place. They dumped the body in the basement and cleaned the floor. They bid goodbyes to each other and got into their cars respectively. As Manoj started the engine, a voice spoke from behind, "You are a liar ! You will pay your price one day !" He turned behind nervously. There was no one. He drove from the place as fast as he could.
