CHAPTER 22

Abhi came out of his shower and looked at the mirror in front of his dressing table. He felt like everything which is happening around him is planned by some mighty power.

He knew that he and Akshu was connected to one another. But now, not only their destiny but also their questions are merging with each other.

Why did Aarti called him that night? And why didn't he picked her phone.

He decided to check the same and realized that Aarti had called him in his personal number. Something which only his close circle knew about! He needs to know where was he during that time.

He dialed Neil's number and on the second ring he picked up.

"Abhi, thank God you remembered me. I thought you already forgot me after going to Delhi."

"Neil, listen. Lemme come straight to the point. 27th March this year- Check and see where was I, especially from 8 to 10 p.m. And mind it, this is very important."

"Abhi, are you okay?"

"I can't say anything right now Neil!"

"Aaru had told me that Akshu was behaving weirdly but now I feels like both of you are trying to hide something from us. Tell me, what's your actual purpose of visit to Delhi."

"Neil, as I said I can't say anything now. And please get me the information asap."

"Take care Abhi!"

"You too."

"I can't believe this! Are you sure you didn't knew Aarti before?" Akshu asked him after listening to what he had found out recently.

"Trust me Akshu. The first time I am hearing about her, was from you. And you need to see this."

He opened his Mac and placed the screen in front of her. The video played the visuals from that night.

"These are the clips from a bus stop near to that spot. It's a secluded area mostly and yes, there she is!"

Akshu saw Aarti on the screen. Her breath stopped after a point.

"She got hit twice which means it was not a accident. The truck took a reverse and came back again to make sure that she is dead on the spot."

"Yes Akshu. She had a horrible ending. But in the police FIR it's just another drunk and drive case  but the real culprit yet to be caught!"

"And Abhi see, she was looking really tensed even before the accident as if she came to know something shocking and she was trying to call someone vigorously. That must be . . "

"Me. She was calling me!" Abhi said with a pregnant pause.

"I was busy with one of our new projects and that day, I mean 27th March was tightly packed for me. Therefore I didn't paid much attention to those calls it seems . . .Usually I get such calls from unknown numbers for random purposes; may be I might have thought that it will be one of them and due to my stress I didn't tried to check who was it. I shouldn't have done that, especially since she tried to contact me via my personal number!"

Akshu looked at Abhi; guilt was evident in his voice.

"Abhi, it's not your fault. Nobody expected that things will go like this."

"Akshu, trust me. I came here to help you and find out what happened to Akshay and Aarti but now, it's my need too to find out all the truths. In fact, I feel like all our fates are twisted with one another!"
