Part 3

Meera was a Fashion Designer, she had met Amay, an architect, at a common friend's birthday bash and soon both fell in love. Everything was going fine till that ill-fated evening which ruined everything. Her most treasured secret was going to be unearthed soon. She had to do something to protect herself. She couldn't let this secret to ruin everything that she had created.

Two weeks passed by but police couldn't find any leads in the case. Rajiv tried to move on and submerged himself in his work so much so that there's no time left for him to think about Kavya, but even then memories of Kavya surrounded him all the time. He spent all his time working on the leads to nab the drug peddlers. Suddenly one day he got some information which not only brought him closer to accomplishing his mission but also shocked him. He knew something was wrong.

Rajiv called up Amay that evening.

"I need to meet you urgently", said Rajiv
"What happened Rajiv? You sound tensed", enquired Amay
"Just meet me at my place in one hour", Said Rajiv

Before Amay could say anything, the line went dead. He was terrified. All sorts of things were going on in his mind. Why was Rajiv calling him? Has he found out the truth? But answers could be found only after meeting Rajiv.

Rajiv was pacing to and fro in the room when the door bell rang. It was Amay.

Even before Amay could say anything Rajiv burst out on him.

"Why did you kill Kavya? How could you do this? Out of all the people it was you...you who snatched away my Kavya? Why Amay?", cried Rajiv

"Rajiv..you are getting it wrong..i didn't kill Kavya", said Amay startled
"I don't want to listen to your lies..i have the proof.", said Rajiv and went inside.
"Rajiv..just listen to me once", begged Amay

Rajiv came out and threw the photographs at Amay.

"You still want to say that you are innocent? That these photos are a lie?", Asked Rajiv
"Rajiv, believe me..i didn't kill her", cried Amay

Just then the policemen who were waiting for Rajiv's order, came inside and arrested Amay.

Amay kept crying and begging Rajiv to believe him once but Rajiv was too shattered at what he unearthed.

"I wish i had told you the truth before. I didn't kill Kavya. Believe me", murmured Amay to himself.
"He wasn't the murderer then how could the there be photographs of him committing the crime? Why would someone implicate him? He was sure that someone morphed the photos", Amay thought. Suddenly the truth dawned upon him.

Part 2

Rajiv was sure that it was Kavya's voice but before he could react the line went dead. He called on Kavya's mobile but it was switched off. He tried the land-line too but no one picked it up. He called up Amay and asked him to reach his house ASAP. He hurriedly got into his car and drove towards home but it being a peak hour he was stuck in the jam-packed road. He got down from his car and ran as fast as he could. Till the time he reached home, police vans, ambulance and a large crowd had gathered at his residence.

He struggled to get into his house. Policemen were searching the house collecting evidences, taking fingerprints, noting down the details and discussing the possible theories related with the murder. It was then that he saw her. Her once beautiful body, lay lifeless soaked in blood, which oozed out of her bullet wounds. Rajiv couldn't control himself. He couldn't believe that the girl whom he loved the most will now be alive only in his memories. He couldn't control his tears. His whole world had just crashed.

Police sent the body for postmortem. Just then Amay and Meera walked in. They were shocked at the sight. Amay rushed to Rajiv and hugged him. Rajiv was inconsolable. He kept crying calling out Kavya again and again.

Police started with their interrogation. Knowing the background of Rajiv, police suspected it to be a case of personal animosity.

"Do you suspect anyone, Mr.Rajiv?", asked Inspector Keshav
"No...I don't know why would anyone want to kill Kavya! She never got into fights. She was a cheerful person, always helping others in their needs.", answered Rajiv, trying to control his tears

"Look Mr. Rajiv, when we came here the door was open which indicates a friendly entry. Moreover we found two tea cups on the table which obviously means that Kavya knew her attacker very well or might be there was someone else who was a witness to this crime. We will soon find out the culprit. We will keep you updated regarding the case. As of now we take your leave", Said Inspector

The policemen left so did the crowd. Amay dropped Meera home and came back to take care of Rajiv.

That night the two of them sat in the balcony amidst the silence of the night.

Amay didn't knew how to comfort Rajiv because no matter what he said his words will fall short of providing him any comfort. He knew Kavya was Rajiv's life but he also knew something which Rajiv didn't had a clue about and he wished it remained like that only.

Prelude

Part -1 

Kavya sat in a balcony of her 10th floor sea facing 3-BHK flat in the suburbs of Mumbai. This was her favorite part of the house. She loved it so much that Rajiv used to tease her that she could spend her lifetime sitting here, which in a way wasn't wrong. Kavya loved beaches. The sound of waves against the rocks, the cool breeze, the calm yet ferocious nature of sea..she loved it all. Every evening after coming back from NGO, where she worked, she used to spend her time sitting in the balcony soaking in the beauty of sea against the stunning backdrop of setting sun.

Kavya and Rajiv were married for two years. Rajiv was an Investigating Officer with Narcotics Control Bureau. His busy schedule left him with little time for Kavya. Kavya belonged from an Army background and hence she understood Rajiv's responsibilites very well. Initially Rajiv and Kavya were living in Delhi but soon they had to relocate to Mumbai due to Rajiv's work commitments.

Kavya glanced at the clock. It was going to be 6:30 P.M.. Rajiv had asked her to be ready till 7:30 P.M. as they had to attend a party thrown by Amay, Rajiv's childhood friend, who got engaged two days back.

Amay and Rajiv had been best friends since childhood.Rajiv was a single child and in Amay he found a brother he never had. They had been partners in crime since forever; be it stealing mangoes from their neighbour's garden,  getting punished for not submitting assignments or bunking classes for a movie; they were always together as a support to each other not only in good times but also during bad times. When Amay lost his parents in a freak accident, Rajiv was there to support him. And with time their friendship grew more stronger. Rajiv was never a social person. He prefered staying at home whenever he got time and hence he didn't had many friends. Perhaps Amay was the only one he could call a friend. He trusted him with his life.

Kavya quickly freshened up and changed into a black gown. She was about to call Rajiv when the door bell rang. She quickly went to open the door thinking it to be Rajiv, but all she found was a packet at the doorstep. She looked down the stairs but couldn't find anyone. She took the packet inside and opened it to view its contents. The ground beneath her shook. She was shocked at what she saw. Suddenly the doorbell rang again.

Rajiv was sitting in his office cabin pondering over the latest case of drug trafficking. He had recently got some serious leads through his informer which was enough to nail the drug peddlers and put an end to the whole drug mafia network. He was working on those leads when he got a call on his cellphone from a private number. When he took that call all he heard was a gunshot and a shrieking voice which he recognized instantly.
