Akash was happy – he not only had made good money but also he had won Lavanya which he never had anticipated. Her kisses and her touches along with her expression of pleasure when they were entangled together were something he would never forget… Thus he drove dreamily all the way to his flat in Mumbai – Lavanya was staying back in the bungalow to enjoy the interiors Akash had done to her dreams…
The incessant ringing of the doorbell to his flat woke him up late in the morning and he was a bit irritated as to who would be ringing it… Lazily, he got out of his bed and opened the main door to see a police inspector standing in the door…
“Are you Akash?” he asked in his police tone
“Yes – I am… What can I do for you…”
“I will give you 30 minutes to get ready – we are driving down to Lonavala…”
‘Lonavala? Why?”
“You will come to know on the way – now move it – quickly…”
Not understanding why the Inspector wanted him to visit Lonavala – he got ready and sat in the police jeep and they were off to Lonavala. He was wondering if in his dreamy state after his romantic escapade with Lavanya if he had hit someone while driving his car… while the inspector was asking everything about him – what he does for a living why was he in Lonavala, etc.
He then started thinking that perhaps the inspector had a small bungalow or villa in Lonavala and wanted to get the interiors done and sat there anticipating the work and imaging the place inspector would take him to…
He was surprised when they reached Lonavala and the police jeep took a turn in the alley where Lavanya’s bungalow was located. They approached her bungalow and stopped…
He could see crowd gathered there and had no idea as to what may have happened. The inspector almost pushed him in toward the bungalow and he entered it feeling sinister at the silence of the gathered crowd. He was pushed toward the bedroom. He entered it and couldn’t believe his eyes. On the bed lay Lavanya – dead!
What made a chill run down his spine was that she had the exact same expression which he had seen on Ayushi – a combination of surprise, shock, pain and pleasure on her dead face. He kept looking at the body of dead Lavanya…
The inspector then asked his aides to move the body to a local hospital for auto-biopsy and turned to Akash… “It seems you were the last person to see her alive…”
Everything that had happened with Ayushi’s death swam across his thoughts and to steady himself – he took a seat.
“I don’t know if I was the last person to see her alive – I finished off my work here and drove to my flat at Mumbai – she said she would be staying here and would welcome her husband to show off the interiors to him…”
“Well – it was her husband who found her dead when he arrived today morning – so technically you were the last person who was present in the bungalow yesterday…”
“Wait – there’s a CCTV camera installed at the main door – you can see if anyone else had visited after I left..”
They started checking the footage of the CCTV – they could see him leave with Lavanya waiving him bye and then calling someone as she entered the bungalow… From that moment, nobody had entered the bungalow – directly it was her husband who had entered and Akash sighed a sigh of relief that he was safe from the hands of law – CCTV was his alibi…
Lavanya’s auto biopsy report was received in some time and it said that she had choked herself on the peanuts she was eating – one of the peanuts entered her windpipe by mistake and she had choked to death. That solved the mystery of her death. Akash along with her husband attended the last rites before Akash travelled back to Mumbai…
