21 chapter 21

"Arnav, from whatever you told me about her, you were just someone from her past life, a mere someone whom she just knew or she might just not remember you at all--"

"What does it have to do with any of this?"

"It has a lot to do actually, it is really important that she is around people who are emotionally attached to her, whom she knew personally, someone who could reach out to her subconscious memory and trigger some activity in her brain. I know you are really trying hard Arnav but somehow it isn't really enough. And I know we did look for all possible ways to find out details about her, I was just hoping if we can do anything more? I mean you mentioned about the CBI delayed reports you received last week? Anything in it that we could use?"

"Those reports just makes this worse man, studying it makes me lose my mind. Apparently her parents passed away in a road accident in Mumbai a few years ago. The family abruptly moved out of Delhi before that and no one knew where they stayed in Mumbai. The neighbors in Delhi aren't much of help either, it's just all very much fishy---" Arnav sighed bringing his forehead to rest on his hand that was on the table. Angad just fell silent processing all the information.

"If not a person, maybe we could even get something that she could associate with. I mean she have to find a reason Arnav; we should get her eyes react first, if not her whole body. And for that the brain should trigger something, anything, you will have to know more about her. Whatever you know already isn't just enough, you are aware of this, aren't you?" Arnav just nodded.

"If we cannot get any person, we can actually talk to her, I know I said I'm not sure if her senses are working like they should, but we can always take a chance, but whatever you talk to her should have some influence to her brain. It can be positive, it can be negative, it can be something that reminds her of something very fond, or may be something that she hates. Her brain should process the information and in turn trigger a reaction to her senses. The reason I'm saying this is, though her limbs are paralyzed, her senses could be working. And to achieve this, you have to start somewhere Arnav that is for you to figure out. But you have to know more about her, just try somehow, there should be some way?" he asked expectantly and Arnav just stared into the distance thoughtfully.

"And let me clarify, the information about her should be of recent past, not from the time when you met her, clearly a lot has happened after that, and mayI just repeat myself, there is a very high possibility that she hardly remembered her easy happy teenage life, am I making any sense?" Angad added.

"Yes, I get you--" he finally acknowledged still looking lost. Suddenly he blinked his eyes and shifted his gaze to look at Angad. "I think I know where to start!" he suddenly exclaimed.

"Wow, that's pretty fast"

"Yeah, I guess this could be useful, it would be a start at least?" he more or less talked to his own self.

"Would you like tell me about what your mighty brain has come up with?"

"Later, let me call you back okay, I have to go, see you man" he said already getting up and left the cabin before patting lightly on Angad's back. Angad just smiled at his retreating back and resumed his work.
