“Did you say Celact?” Sanjeev sounded amazed. “That’s a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. In normal words it means a pain killer. Was he taking those?” inquired Sanjeev.
    “I’m not sure. Why, is it a problem?” asked Pawan.
    “It was supposed to be a potent pain killer, until recently it was proved that it increases risk of heart attackin cardiac disorder patients. So it was completely withdrawn from the market. It could be purchased as over-the-counter medication hence it was subjected to a lot of medication misue.”
    “Madam and I were working on the drug of central nervous system. Though this ingredient has less potency if used alone, it has shown promising results in its action on the Gate Control theory. So was madam trying it as palliative medication for pain and stress control in Lakshman?” Sanjeev’s mind was racing to match the palpitations of his heart. Somewhere there was a bleak opportunity that a major breakthrough can happen.
    “I’m not the right person to answer this question Sanjeev,” answered Pawan.
    “And the right person is no more there,” replied Ravi.
    “But Bhumija can definitely throw some light on this subject,” suggested Pawan.
    “I’m sorry to interrupt, but don’t you feel that the plan is too well laid? I mean, the chalisa was written years back and not for the context of solving a puzzle. How come all the characters of the chalisa are present around us?” Ravi raised the question feeling perplexed. In fact he spoke what others were trying to push under the carpet.
    There was sudden gloomy silence in the room, as if the truth has struck them right on the face. “Yes, I agree,” said Pawan breaking the austere silence. “It’s true that it seems too well laid, but I have a feeling that it was designed so. I can never fathom the depth of Ma's intelligence. I believe she purposely made chalisa as a clue. The characters were chosen henceforth by her to carry out her message. She had been reciting Hanuman Chalisa day in and day out. I’ve followed the same routine from her. I personally know how deeply it can etch your mind and thoughts. She must have designed her plan as per chalisa to lead to something extremely precious.”
    “And I believe we don’t have any other option. Either we accept it without prejudice or cloud our mind with delusions and distrust. I feel she’s calling us to take that leap of faith and then see what we can discover. That’s the premise on which I base my search and I’ll go all the way to prove it right,” the emerging determination of Sanjeev filled the room with a wave of motivation.
    Yes, there was hope and with this hope he would go to meet Pratap the next day.

    Located in the heart of the city, dalanwala was the heart beat of the city. Its majestic bungalows spread themselves like a wave of splendor and grandiosity. Brushed with soothing canopy the houses were encased in a flowery fragrance of the beautiful winter bloom. Keeping in pace with times, there were numerous tall towers coming up which added to the extravagance of the place. Every now and then one could see an Audi or BMW sweep through the road. The faint sunshine was barely able to make its way through the bleak fog.
    Sanjeev and Ravi stood there in front of the huge bungalow feeling awkward to the core. The stood there admiring the magnificence of the building and hesitated to step in. After giving each other a feeble glance, they gathered courage and Sanjeev rang the door bell
    The door was opened
