It was pretty cool inside that room. Krish was sitting in front of A5 Police station inspector. The inspector Mr. Jai asked series of questions. Krish too asked some questions.

"How long do you know Sathya?" Jai asked.

"We know for about 6 months, I was working in her team. We soon became friends. "

"What about her family?"

"Her parents died in a car accident two years ago. She has a brother in US. I informed him few minutes ago. He will come as soon as he gets the flight ticket."

"Where were you between 12:30 AM and 1:00 AM today"?

"I was in my room sleeping. You can check with my roommate. Why are you asking about that? Do you think it's a murder? And you think I did that?" Krish was in a shock.

"No. We don't think it's a murder. Just asking some routine questions."

"How did the fire originate inspector?" Krish looked curious and sad.

"It was a gas cylinder leakage that caused the explosion. According to the neighbors, it happened around 12:30 AM."

Krish looked very sad. He couldn't believe that Sathya is gone. He was talking to her yesterday this time. But now she's gone.

"You said that you met her yesterday. What did you two talk about? Did she look worry to you?" the inspector asked.

"It was her first year work anniversary. We went for a dinner to celebrate that. We talked about work, family and other stuffs. Then I went to her apartment to drop her. Suddenly there was a huge rain. So I stayed at her apartment for few minutes and I left by 10:30 PM."

The police constable entered the room and saluted the inspector.

"Sir, DCP Yavanika wants to meet Krish. Just now her assistant Roopa called."

The inspector sighed and said "Why does she want to meet him?"

"I don't know sir. She said it's urgent."

"Okay, you drop him at her office."

Krish came out and got in to the police jeep.

It was a half hour travel. Lot of things came in to his mind. Last night, the dinner, the rain, her face, the coffee, the talks, wait the coffee?

What's wrong with the coffee?

He came out of the restroom. Sathya was preparing the coffee. She was heating the milk in the electric stove. Yes electric stove. She had no gas cylinder at her home. Oh My God!

DCP office came. Krish got out. Roopa came out of the building and took Krish to Yavanika's room.

"Hello Krish, I am sorry that I am troubling you at this time. But we need to ask you a few questions about your friend Sathya", Yavanika looked worried.

"Mam, I need to tell you something. I think she was killed. Sathya was killed. Inspector said that the explosion happened due to gas cylinder. But I remember there was no gas cylinder at her home. I REMEMBER!"
