Icy Corner

Day 2, 09:00 pm Sagar was screaming at everyone who tried to talk to him. He had put a shield around himself and did not allow anyone to come anywhere close to him. He could not believe what had just happened. He, who always prided in himself for manipulating criminals , had been manipulated and fooled by a psycho serial killer. The thought gave him shivers through his body and he promised to himself to catch Madhu alive. Madhu was going to pay for what he had done. Yamuna tried to console him, but then gave up concluding there was nothing she could do to console him. She tried to talk to him, only to get yelled at by him. Initially she felt offended, but then she knew how much Sagar loved Asheeta, so she let it go. She waited patiently for Sagar to return back to his normal self. She waited in his room for around half an hour when she was suddenly startled by a voice. "Sorry!" It was Sagar, and his apology sounded with utmost sincerity. "Hey Sags, no proble...

Day 2, 07:00 pm "So...we are back to square one, I guess?" Yamuna questioned Sagar in a concerned voice. Yamuna was sitting opposite to Sagar in his room. Sagar was sitting on his chair, his hands on his head and eyes closed. He nodded his head in acknowledgment to Yamuna's query. But his mind was elsewhere. When he had thought he had almost caught the serial killer, there was a hard blow on his face. And there was much more he wanted to know. He needed to find out Naresh's true intentions of visiting Asheeta's house, if Naresh shared the story draft with anyone else, if Naresh worked with the serial killer as a duo, if it was Naresh that sent the mail or someone else that used his laptop. "You seem to be in deep thoughts. Many unanswered questions , huh?" Yamuna questioned again. Sagar understood her intention. She was trying to make a conversation in order to make him feel relaxed. But Sagar knew that until he laid his hands on the serial ...

Day 2, 02:30 pm Sagar waited for Asheeta to stop crying. Whatever information he wanted to know, he needed Asheeta's full attention while interrogating her. It took some time for Asheeta to regain her composure. Once she stopped crying, Sagar began questioning her. Yamuna was observing both of them intently. "Ash, I need you to tell me something that would help us find the real Kathir" "Yes, tell me" "Um, the other day you told me you share your story draft with Jacob for reviewing right" "Yea..." "Do you share the draft with anyone else, other than Jacob?" "Oh yeah, one of my friends at office" "Anyone else?" "Um, no" "OK, can you share the draft with me? I need to take a look at it" Asheeta looked confused, but without uttering a word she opened the folder in her laptop where she had stored her draft. The folder contained a list of word documents , each dedicated to ...

Day 2, 08:00 am Sagar was walking back and forth in the living room. Asheeta was sitting on the sofa and checking her blog in her laptop. "Has anyone else commented, Ash?" "I told you, I will get an instant email alert if someone commented. And for your information, this is the eleventh time you are asking this question in the last 15 minutes" replied Asheeta wearing an exasperated look on her face. "How many views?" Sagar asked ignoring her remark. Asheeta threw her hands up high in the air and said "Give me a break Sagy. What is the use in knowing the number of views?" "I am wondering why Kathir hasn't made the call yet" "I don't know. But what I know is you are losing your grip. Just slow down and think" "Alright! Let us focus" Sagar said and sat next to Asheeta. "Now think and tell me, how many members regularly comment on all your blogs, especially the TFA series?" "...
