Kiyan's POV
"Are you sure? " I asked my colleague and he agreed.
Shoving my phone back into my pocket I look at the latest message, Looks like I have to go somewhere else before I reach home
After walking a few more yards i saw a cluster of tall beech trees through which streams of golden light pierced through the space between the leaves,and behind them stood the Apartment 414.
"Sir, I 've already told you several times I did not do anything , I just gave him the bottle ." She said .
" Hey Kyra.Relax,I am not here to investigate you. Is Kriti home?" I asked.
" Yeah " She replied .
"May I come in ?" I asked .
" Sure " She said opening the door .
" Kriti, someone's here for you " She shouted from the hall .
"Oh.Hey Kiyan " Kriti said coming out of the kitchen .
Observation one : Kriti is always in her casual wear when ever she is at home but a fashionista in college, so obviously she's more rich than what they seem
" The coffee's ready and you are on time. Impressive " she said with a smirk .
"I'm honoured Milady " I said placing a hand on my heart.
Observation two: She likes punctuality so she's a perfectionist.
"Kyra,Don't you have homework to be done?" Kriti asked looking at her sternly
Observation three: Kriti doesn't like her privacy disturbed, so obviously something in her past has happened where her darkest secret was revealed
" Ya, have a great time " She said smirking and walked upstairs .
"Sorry about her" She said
"No formalities kriti" I told her
"So did you get to know something? " She asked me
"Mr Bhagnani had a lot of enemies and so did Jai, it could be anyone" I told
She sighed.
"So we aren't the suspects? " She asked
Observation four : Kriti loves her friends that was According to her Instagram posts and her current reaction is just a confirmation of it.
"Not any more" I said.
She smiled
"Thank you" She said
"What for? " I asked
"For trusting and believing that we have nothing to do with this" She said
I nodded.
"Oh damn I forgot getting you those imported cookies Hold on" She said rushing into the kitchen.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Kyra rushed down and opened the door excitedly
"Come in" She said smiling.
To my surprise, Veer Kapoor walked in and I thought he was more close to Kriti than Kyra, Guess my conclusions and observations can go wrong sometimes.
"Officer Roy? " He asked surprised.
"Yeah Veer, Good to see you" I said
"I wish I could say the same.. " He said
Arrogant, rich and spoilt, What else was I expecting from an Actor's son?
"Kyra Is... "
"Why the hell are you here? " Kriti asked putting the cookies on the table
"Jaan I.. Kriti we have to talk" He said looking at me
I was right, Veer has a soft corner for Kriti. It's not just a random friend concern it's something more, probably a crush.
"Who gave you permission to come over to my place? " She asked
Observation number four : They had an argument earlier in the day.
"I did" Kyra said innocently
"Why did you-"
"Veer is my friend too Kriti" Kyra said
"But-"
"Kriti, we'll talk about the case later, " I said when she interrupted me
"How about we discuss the case at your place?Now!" She asked
"Sure I don't mind" I said when she walked out in anger
"I'll see you'll.. Around" I said following her
We walked into my house and she sat on the bed.
It was a room with a bed, nothing more.
A small single bed, looking like a snow drift, so white and feathery and high was it; one window curtained with a square of starched white cotton cloth that drew over the panes by means of a white cord on which it was run at the top.
"I'm sorry I haven't had time to unpack much, so this is my room at least for now, how's it? " I asked
"It's good but it needs a bit of feminine touch" She said
"Come here" I said as she walked close to me
I took her hand into mine and gently placed it on to the wall.
"It's got the feminine touch now" I said as she began giggling.
"You're so funny" She said
I smiled at her.
"Kriti, I've heard that in your childhood you used to help your uncle in solving the crimes and also helped in finding few lost and kidnapped kids" I said
"Yeah that was some 7 years ago, Before Pathak uncle died" She said
"So basically you have a thing for crime and detective stuff I'm guessing? " I asked
"Crime yes, Detectives and officers no" She said and started laughing.
"Alright, I have a request, It's more like an offer" I stated
She folded her arms and listened to me in curiosity.
"Okay first things first - Jai's page of that college stuff, it's still being active, we tried hacking it but it's of no use because the data will be erased in case of trying a wrong password" I informed
"Jai was too good at ethical hacking, He wanted to be a full time hacker too" She said
"So for now we are just monitoring the activity. But then I'll need help" I said
"What kind of help? " She asked
"I need the inside information so that it doesn't look like privacy violation, But I will need a student to keep an eye for anything unusual" I said
"You're expecting the killer to be a student? " She asked surprised
I nodded.
"If not the killer, At least someone who's been helping the killer with it, Also I need an exact version of what happened that night without a filter" I said
"We have already told what we knew Kiyan" She said
"For now we are working on a lot of things but from you, I need a specific favour"
She nodded.
"I need you to narrate all the events of that day to me so that I can record all of it will you?"
