vera: I can explain but you want proof and I need time for that

she explained without being hesitant or flinching at the fact that he was trying to scare her with his intimidating personality

Rudra: ok i gave you time till tomorrow but you will not explain all this to me but to the commissioner sir tomorrow and if you proved wrong with your so-called the suicide cum murder theory it will not be me but you will

he lean closer

who will close this file, by themselves and explain to the deceased's family also

vera: as you wish sir ill report you tomorrow

rudra steps close to her and look directly into her shining brown eyes

rudra:you know its not good to be always this confident specially when you are acting only on your instincts, without any evidence in your hands

vera: i don't have any reason to not to

she said with a smile without being flinched looking directly into his eyes like before

rudra: we will see it tomorrow

he replied calmly and took a step back

vera: for sure sir, ill excuse myself first then

she said, nodding slightly moving her heels and walking out from there without bothering to look at him again but she still felt his burning gaze on her back

mohit: sir what do you think?

he raised his eyebrows and asked Rudra while they still looking at vera who was disappearing into a crowd

rudra: she is not someone who bluff around, she for sure have her hand on something

deceased's mother was still sitting on a bench vera walks to her and place a packet of food on one side of the bench move in front of her and sit in front of her while bending her knees a little

vera: mam more than me or anyone you know your daughter better, you should listen to your heart and not to people and your daughter was not a coward who would opt for suicid she was a warrior and you know this

her mother nodded slightly and vera get up and tap her shoulder slightly comforting her, she knew too it will not be easy for her

vera: don't starve yourself to death , please eat this food , now i have to go but if you need anything feel free to call me anytime

her mom nod again and vera left the hospital in slow steps and soon as she step out she bump into someone outside the hospital and in accident that person spill medicine on vera's hand and it makes her hand as if she just dipped it in a glass full of chocolate

vera: oh gosh what your eyeballs are made of trash?

she exclaimed without looking at person while cleaning her hand by shaking the excess of medicine that was still dripping from her hand

guy: oh i am really sorry miss that was my fault

he said in his sweet voice, shaky voice, in a nervous tone

one second by any chance are you vera from global international school

his tone soon changes into a something which was a mixture of excitement and curiosity

which makes vera raise her head to look at him buttonholed, he was young guy in his late 20s he was wearing white coat and looking at vera innocently with his eyes which were covered with glasses

vera: how do you know?

she answers her question with another question coupled with a raised eyebrow

guy: oh you forgot me

he acts as if his heart is broken into million pieces and said while offering her his handkerchief

vera still gave him a confused look

guy: i was your senior back then how come you don't know me , if i remember correctly i was quite popular back then

he blows his own trumpet and smiles at his own joke

vera: i am not sure if you were, so you are a doctor here? nitin

nitin: yeah i am pathologist here, you see and what about you

he didn't resist his urge even a little to ask another question still smiling innocently

vera: well i am ssp here

nitin with excitement

vera: oh was i? well i excuse myself first than and thanks for your handkerchief
