SHORT STORY-WHO IS SHE?

 I had gone to Palakad, to attend a marriage. After greeting the young couple I was in a hurry to have my dinner and return home.
Luckily, a friend gave me a lift and dropped me at the transport stand. There was a superfast bus for Trichur and I settled myself comfortably.
Afterwards a gentleman occupied the the seat beside me.
We travelled for half an hour, when the gentleman went and occupied another seat and a very young girl came and sat beside me. She lay her head on my shoulder and went to sleep immediately.
I did take care not to awaken her, though it was a bit uncomfortable. I must confess that I enjoyed the proximity of the young girl till we reached Trichur. All passengers got down . I gently shook her and woke her up.
Oh I wanted to get down at Mannoothy. M home is some miles away in the village. She stared crying. When she took out her hankie I saw several bundles of thousand rupee notes in her bag. I was surprised.
Madam, it is already eight , It risky to travel to Mannoothy. I suggested hiring a room in the hotel to spend the night.
At midnight Police raided the hotel and arrested us . along with a number of men and women.
My plea that I am Tehasildar of Kodungalloor, had no effect.
