The Final Adieu - Part 7

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.

Day 2, 05:50 am Asheeta was driving her car at top speed. Her father was sitting in the front set and mother in the rear seat. Her mother was pleading her to slow down, but Asheeta did not care to respond. She was laughing merrily and her father too joined her in her laughter. They were interrupted by the honking sound of a vehicle behind. Asheeta looked at the rear view mirror to check who it was. She could not see the man's face, but the vehicle was a lorry. She realized it was the same lorry that had killed her parents in a car accident few years ago. And she realized it was going to happen again. She frantically did a zigzag trying to move away from the lorry's path. She quickly turned to her parents to assure them she would not allow them to die again. But they were both gone. She realized she was sitting alone in the car, and the man behind was continuously honking which irritated her to a great extent. Unable to control herself any longer, she shouted NO! NO! NO!...
