27. Criminal and Police

A police man came from behind them and stood beside Inder placing his hands on the shop counter

'Do you have Hajmola*' policeman asked facing the shopkeeper with no expression

Inder took a look at the man who just came while taking a long gulp of water and quickly move his face away to prevent him from looking at his face but it was late. The only reason the officer was here is to face Inder.

'By the way the girl is right' officer said without looking at Inder

Inder put the bottle on the counter and it was clear that he knew this man and not in a friendly way. Shopkeeper give the packet to the officer as he examine him and Inder he was praying to the god for no trouble.

'You are covered in blood...

But still not going to a hospital' policeman said as he took the packet of hajmola and open it

'Why?' he asked taking a pill out from the packet

Inder looked at him to answer this time 'I don't need it said, my wounds heal really soon'

This time policeman looked at Inder as he listened to his answer

Suru was a little confuse with what was going on. Why a police officer is involved now?. But she was more concerned about something else and kept staring at his wound not interfering their talk.

The officer look at him with surprise and got closer to him. He was intimidating. A middle age man with expression that could scare anyone and the police uniform screaming authority and power.

He leaned a little towards him and asked 'How?'. His eyes were staring right into Inder's

'Used to getting injuries?' he asked him again

Inder didn't look up at him, he was a police officer and Inder didn't want to put suru into any more trouble

Suru was quiet and sacred she keep pulling Inder's vest signalling him to go and get away from the officer as she felt the tension between them.

'As far as I know, only two kinds of people are used to it' officer continued without Inder's answer

'Criminals and police' he continued

Inder kept quiet all the time

'Lets go' suru whispered to him

'Which one are you?'

Suru kept pulling his vest and whispered again 'Please Let's go'

Inder turn to suru with a serious expression while still holding his wound with the cloth

Suru glanced at him scared and asked him to go again but Inder looked at her seriously realising that this situation is about to go worse. He was annoyed and surprise at the same time seeing how stubborn she was. He was telling her to leave him since the beginning but she keep involving herself with him.

'Suru, you go home' he tell her to go back seriously as he realised that the situation is uphilling fast and she will be draged. He knew the police officer he knew he is not gonna let him go that easily so he wanted to at least save Suru.

Note:-

*Hajmola- It's an digestive medicated tablet consisting traditional Ayurvedic herbs (eaten by everyone here like candies though XD)
