7.30 a.m.

Hotel Taj, Chennai

Gauri’s wake-up call rang on her phone and she woke up to a bright morning. The weather in the latter part of the year in Chennai was not so bad. She allowed the sun to kiss her cheeks as she drew the curtains aside. Her alarm clock radio played classical music that she loved. She stretched, checked her phone, and saw a few calls from James and Tom. She got slightly worried. The call timing was 1 a.m. She called them back, but their phones were switched off. She then called mine, but that was switched off too. I was sleeping in the police station cell, with the cellphone at the officer’s desk. The series of failed call attempts got her more worried. She called up Mehr. Her phone was switched off and Gauri realized Mehr must be in the flight on her way back to Delhi. Then she remembered great Mr Murphy. His laws clearly defined that when you need something the most, it won’t exactly happen then. By now, Gauri had begun to feel very heavy in the chest. Her instincts told her something was wrong. She turned the television on and what she saw left her in a state of utter shock.

The news headlines read ‘Rise in crime against women; Gurgaon on the boil’. The sub heading was ‘Gurgaon based corporate caught molesting woman’.

The pictures showed the head of Srinya on my bums and us lying in a subconscious state.

Oh god, this was Times Wow; they always exaggerate. Let me turn to DTV. Well, it was Drishti with the mic actually. She was the one who had shoved that mic at my face and the cop was referring to her.

What Gauri heard was making her feet tremble. Her hands were shaking. She continued to gaze at the television from the closest distance. She could not gather the complete story as the channel went for a break. She quickly surfed through others but they were all on a break. The caption of ‘Breaking News’ continued repeatedly and she switched back to DTV. The new visuals showed me putting my hands on the face and avoiding the media. The news turned back on. It was Drishti on the screen as she continued to give the news update breathlessly.

“Here in the heart of Gurgaon, as you can see, this man called Neil allegedly beat up some women. DTV was the first one to arrive at the crime scene. As you can see, he is in a subconscious state. He was here with his friends creating a ruckus. The people here told us that his friends teased some women and tried to get physical with them. Okay, let me go across to one of his friends.

“Hello sir, can you tell your name?”

“Yes, ma’am, I am Tom.”

“Okay, Mr Tom, what were you guys doing?”

“Nothing, ma’am, we were just chilling out and the media has blown up the story. These allegations are all lies. ”

“Look at the audacity of this gentleman.
