Myra got off the bus with a smile, clearly she was still thinking about the school incident with Amit and gang.

"Oh boy, I swear Naina never fails to amaze you" Myra said out loud and chuckled at the memory.
She laughed at Dhruv's expression, he had that expression which said 'If only we had some popcorn to go with the situation'.

Myra shook her head and let out a hearty laugh.
She opened the gate of her house and walked across the garden to their main door.
Before she could press on the bell, the door flung open. She was greeted by a beaming and cheerful Divya.
Myra looked at Divya with raised eyebrows, waiting for a reply.

Myra was really happy to see Amy smiling and everyone happy, it felt really nice to see everything go back to normal, she was glad that everything was normal, but was it?

After the lunch, Amy and Dee went to the drawing room to discuss about the café, Myra washed her dishes cleaned the table and went to her room to study.

Mock exams were going to come, they had one month to prepare for the mock exams, and she knew she had to ace them. She took economics first since she knew it was her achilles' heel. She started by revising Demand, practiced the diagrams and decided to solve the test that Siddharth gave her to practice.

It was evening now and it was time for Amy and Dee to go to the Café, Myra didn't want to stay home so she went with them. She worked at the café to clear her mind.

 The evenings at the café were as busy as usual, it was the rush hour, Vijay had also swinged by in the evening and assisted, well he was there for Dee but everyone ignored that.

Every thing went well and they were back home had dinner and Myra went up to study, it was around 12:30 when Myra went down to refill her water bottle when she saw light coming from Dee's room. 

This is strange. 

She should she sleeping by now, it's not like her to stay awake this late. Myra stared at the door and thought and she heard voices from inside. It sounds like someone laughing.

Even Amy is awake, this is even more strange what are they doing? Myra thought and shrugged, refilled the bottle when she saw Amy's room was open. Inside the box that contained that strange photo was open and everything was scattered on the bed, a lamp on the bedside was on. Myra went inside the room and was about to switch off the lamp on the bedside, that is when she saw some photos and one strange newspaper clipping. 

After reading the newspaper clipping's headline, written in bold letters it sent shocks throughout her body, her feet went numb, her mind went blank, the only words that were echoing in her mind were the newspaper clipping's headline.

"WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE?!"

It was written In bold black letters, this shook Myra to the core, she could hear her heart thumping in her ears, she was breathing heavily. She felt the floor crack under her.

What the hell is this? 

Her dad died in a normal car crash, then what is this bloody newspaper saying. What if this is true, then what about the things her grandmas told her since she was a child. This is messed up.

She calmed herself down, tried to breathe normally took the clipping in her hand, it was torn so that that only the headline was visible and some two lines, that was it. After reading the two lines, she wanted to barge in the other room and wanted to shove this clipping in their faces and demand an explanation, but she knew that was not the most mature way to go about it.

Her throat was parched, she felt tears brimming her eyes. 

She clicked the clipping's photo, since she knew that Amy will know if she took it, she knew is Amy gets to know about it, maybe she won't tell the complete truth. She knew that she had to solve this thing without them knowing.
