Ava: That shouldn't matter to you. 

D: Well anything about the case does matter to me. 

Ava: Not our personal matters. 

D: Ok then, where were you at the time of murder? 

Ava: I was in my room. She had gone out saying she has to collect some books from the library. We both were given the same room to live in. 

D: Was anyone there with you? 

Ava: No. Vaishu di and Reem were in their room itself, I didn't go there as it was quiet early so I wasn't sure if they have woken up. Abhi bhai had gone to the library to do his project. And Jai bhai was in the music room. 

D: Hmm, when was the last time you saw her? When she left for library? 

Ava: Obviously. 

D: But that day the library was closed right? 

Ava: I just said Abhi bhai was there. Only the librarian hadn't come. 

D: Ok. I'll ask you later if anymore questions are there. 

Ava: What else do you want to know? I can't be so co-operative for this case. 

D: You don't have a choice. But don't you want justice for your sister? 

Ava: She would want all of us to just move on. 

She went as the detective signalled her to. The detective met Sidjeet few hours later of thinking over everyone's responses and few more things. 

Jai: Did you find anything? 

D: I have questioned all. But Avanti said last Avneet went to the library. Abhishek was in the library itself, then why didn't they both meet? Either Avneet or Abhishek is lying. Jaijeet, how were the relations of the sisters? 

Jai: They were very close. But after Avneet's death Avanti started distancing, maybe to move on. She didn't talk to me also. Now she doesn't even call Avneet her sister. But she always asks us to move on, that's the way Avneet will get peace. 

D: The way she said, it feels like she is against this case, she doesn't want any justice for Avneet. 

Jai: She doesn't want this case to open. But she is not against it, she just doesn't want to be involved. 

D: Ok. Maybe neither of them is lying, it is Avneet who never went to library. But right now Avanti and Abhishek are under suspicion. 

Sid: I don't think any of them can kill Avneet. 

D: I'll see that. 

The detective left. 

Jai: Where is this case going? 

Sid: I don't even know how bhai knows her and all that. 

Jai: Abhi considered Avneet and Avanti as his younger sisters only and both were very close to him. But now Avanti has distanced from him a lot. And even he avoids talking about them. This case holds a lot of secrets. 

Ava(to herself): Secrets which only I know and will never reveal. 

She had been hiding and hearing everything. She knew she'll be suspected, but she didn't expect Abhi to be a suspect as well. At night after ensuring no one is out she went to the place where her sister was killed. No one is allowed there. As she went there, all the memories of that day played in front of her eyes. Her eyes widened when she felt someone's hand covering her mouth and pulling her. She turned around. 

Ava: Bhai, you here? 

Abhi: Avi, you here? 

They both asked at the same time. 

Abhi: Leave all that, hide right now. Someone else is also here. 

He whispered and they both hid. They noticed its the detective. 

Ava: What is he doing here? 

Abhi: Maybe searching proofs to find the murderer. 

Ava: Now of all times? 

They both were talking in low tones so the detective couldn't hear them. After sometime the detective left. They both came out from the place they were hiding. 

Abhi: What were you doing here? 

Ava: I just came to check this place, first time after the murder. 

Abhi: Even me. 

Ava: Bhai, will you answer my question? 

Abhi: What is it? 

Ava: You were here right, on the day of murder, at the time of murder? Because if you were in library you must have met her and you lied saying you didn't. 

Abhi nodded. 

Abhi: Why don't you want this case to be solved? 

Ava: I am just scared that any of them can lose their lives while trying to get her justice. They don't know which path this case goes on. Everyone knows she was killed, which means there is a big danger. She is dead, anything they do won't bring her back, but for this 'justice' they are risking their lives also. 

Abhi: Wait, that means you know who killed Avneet?

Avanti was quiet but Abhi got his answer.
