19th July 2003, 5 months after the case of Barrington serial blast. The case was not still solved and the media held police department responsible for the irresponsibility of Barrington blast case. The police investigated this case and they finally found some witness who could provide them some information. The police inspector entered the commissioner’s cabin and told him about the current reports of the blast case. The police officer kept all the reports on commissioner’s table. He asked him to read all the reports very thoroughly as even the pinch of the evidence was very important. The commissioner said that he did have much time to read all the reports. He told police inspector to tell him the most important evidence which could turn the whole case. The police inspector told him that, before Eleana escaped to Nadam, she stayed for three days with a famous writer named Harris. The commissioner was shocked and he immediately ordered the inspector to arrest him and bring him in here for his investigation and statement.
The police entered the Writer’s home. The police says “We are here for the investigation of Barrington blast case and the suspect of this case was a girl who stayed in your room for past three days.” Harris replies “Alright! But then, don’t at all be physical with me”. The police inspector laughs “The situation will soon tell.”
Writer’s Statement
The police inspector took Harris to the commissioner’s office. The Commissioner pointed at him “Please sit down!” Harris sat down and clearing his throat “Please tell me, for what is all this?” The commissioner “We are investigating a case called Barrington Blast case and we have got only one suspect who stayed at your house room for three days. So please tell me whatever you know about her.” Harris replies “OK, but I should not be criticised in the media for this case.” The commissioner “We’ll take care of that.” Harris continous “Before coming to my house she lived happily with her mother, who was a make up artist…”
Eleana’s Life Story
Harris “She used to visit Stephen Studio where her mother worked as a make up artist after attending her college.”
Eleana entered her mother’s make up room. Mother “You came a bit late today. Did something happen in college?” Eleana “Nothing much mom, we had gathering in our college so I was a bit late.” Mother “ok.” Eleana with a suspicious expression “Can I ask you something?” Mother turned her head up and down and with a suspicious voice “Is it Sunset park?” Eleana “Yes mom!” Mother “Eleana, I am very busy today, in fact I will not be able to come at home and prepare dinner you have to prepare by yourself!” Eleana ” Mom, please!” Mother ” Eleana, I promise we will definitely go tomorrow. Now, you should go home, prepare your dinner and go to sleep.” Eleana with a satisfactory voice replies “OK mom…”. Eleana left the room with not much satisfaction. The next day Eleana and her mom visited sunset park in the evening. They peacefully observed the sunset. The police came in the park and saw Eleana. The police “Excuse me madam.” Mother “yes?!” Actually we are here to arrest Eleana Dronsif on the charge of Barrington Cemane Mall blast which did happen yesterday 7:53 pm.” Mother “But we don’t know anything about the blast!” The police ” Madam, it’s commissioner’s order. We have seen CCTV footage and it’s clearly seen that Eleana keeps her bag on the bench, then she runs to emergency exit and after five minutes everything explodes and turns into ash. Her mother was shocked “Eleana, is it true?” Eleana replied “I don’t know mom…” Mother “Where were you yesterday evening?” Eleana “Mom…” Mother ” Tell me!” Eleana ” I was at…” Mother “Police arrest her, she is not at all worth for anything, she is just like her fa…” Eleana crying “Mom stop it! Please don’t arrest me Sir, I don’t know anything!” Mother crying “You just go to hell…you are no more a daughter to me…”
Eleana’s role in writer’s life
Harris “Then, she was held guilty by the court and sent to jail for 5 years. It was very difficult for her to get the bail because she was arrested on terrorist act. She was employed to work like all other jailers. Then there came a jailer who was arrested on a fake charge of murder. He was also of her age and they became very close friends. Eleana planned to escape from jail. She and her friend made a drilling tool which could drill the walls of the jail. One night they both drilled the wall at the back of the jail and escaped from the jail successfully. She told her friend to take a different path and go to a safe place. From the distance of two kilometers from the central jail was my home and I had advertised that there was one room for the living of one person. She hurrily came to my house and rang the bell. I opened the door and I knew that she was Eleana as shown in news.” Eleana “Sir, I want help!” Harris worriedly “Are you Eleana?” Eleana “Yes sir! Sir, please take me in!” Harris “If you wanna come in here, then you have to tell me everything what had happened with you.” My plan was that once I hear her nonsence I would call the police and then she would get arrested. But after hearing her whole story I decided to help her because I knew that she was correct and was not guilty. Her main intension was to settle her mother and herself to another country. So I also booked the tickets for her as she wanted to have a peaceful family in Nadam.” Another police inspector banged the door “Excuse me Sir.” Commissioner “Hmm…Tell me…” Inspector “We have a bad news…” Commissioner “What?” Inspector “Serial blasts in Nadam…” Commissioner shockingly “What?!”
