STRANGE SCRATCHES

After a very long day finally home peace, I don't know why he was there and what he was doing eventually I don't even know his name and I'm obsessing over him like this. 

Turn on the TV to distract myself and there was nothing new except for the murder case of a high profile. 

I want to review the case files but I'm just so tired to do so and what I did was just sleep soundly. 

Buzz buzz , I get up as my alarm rings multiple time, I got ready and left for office. 

Today was the first day regarding the new high profile case and surprisingly before I get to my office my boss was waiting for me in there with Jay . Wow this day is also going to be a rough one. 

" Good morning sir" I greet him and he replied in a very taunting voice " yeah GOOD MORNING Miss Piya Sharma, Welcome"  I don't know what did I do now , why the fuck he is treating me like this I look at Jay and he look clueless. 

I ask him " what happen sir ?" He give me bitchy look and question me " whats the update on Mr. Singhal's so case ?" I reply " yesterday I went to police station and we're waiting for the autopsy report right now and we'll proceed after this". He nod and tell me " I'm counting on you okay Piya so roll up sleeves" and he left. 

Jay said " Piya sir cancelled all of your client meeting as he just want you to focus on this case, so as per the schedule we need to go police station", " oh! So basically I'm shifted to police station" I said , Jay replied " technically yes". " okay we'll leave in 15" I give direction to him. So in meantime I can atleast prepare something as a backup. 

In 15 minutes,

" Shall we?" Jay come to remind me ,

"Yeah lets go." I take my stuff and left for the police station. 

When I reach there I straight away went to Mr. Singh office and he was waiting for me to come. 

" Madam I was about to call you , I find some strange thing you should see this",

He show me some picture of Rohan's ( deceased son of Mr. Singhal ) back, which was misplaced by a newcomer. The picture tell a lot, there was some strange scratches on his back as if he had a wild sex before death and in other one there was marks as if someone had hit him with whip. 

So the theory which Mr. Singh and I were making that he was tortured could be wrong, we both are in dilemma that what it could be. 

Mr. Singh gives his opinion " what I can think from this photos is maybe there is something so big we're missing out on" I reply " sir I totally agree with you, I think we should talk to Mr. Singhal's family." He did agree with me and give a simple yet dramatic nod and say " madam, I think you should go and just talk about this first, I have some work to finish, I have to cross question the people who find body in the woods".

"Okay no issues , sir" I reply , as he clearly don't want to work with me, so let it be. 

" Lets go Jay" I ask him to drive me to Mr. Singhal's house.

As we were entering into their huge mansion there is a lot of media outside the gate and a lot of chaos is there. 

We park our car and we went in as their butler guide us to Mr. Singhals office and the hallway the whole house of there is mind blowing the dark shades of colour on the wall is spilling money, as we enter to his office there is a huge painting of nature behind his chair and the table was beautifully carved on wood and with such small small details in it make it look super classy, there is window in the office and ray of sunlight is coming and that is enough to brighten the whole office. 

I have to say the interior of the office in fact of the whole mansion was magnificent and its giving a old money vibe and I fell in love with his interior. All over his mansion looks like a palace.

Finally after waiting in there for more than half hour he came in, " Hello , Miss …" , " Piya Sharma and he's my secretary Jay" I introduce to him. 

He says " I'm really sorry for making you wait you want anything water , coffee or tea ?" 

I reply " no sir, we're good, actually we are here for some information",

He replies " yeah I know I had a conversation about this with your boss". 

" Yeah, is it okay if I ask you some questions ?" I ask him generously. He supportively says " sure miss go ahead".

" Sir when did you saw Rohan for the last time" I ask him. 

" Honestly speaking, I really don't know when was the last time, as he was always with his friends or sometimes he used to be going for photoshoots and all which I never understood." He replies, and with this I can sense that Mr. Singhal have no clue what was going on in Rohans life.  

" Okay sir , can we talk to your wife or staff ?, if she's fine then" I ask him. 

" Yeah sure, my butler will lead to her" he says and he call his butler to do the same. 

He is leading us upstairs and there is a lot of house help they have in, as we reach her room she's on call and ask us to sit on the couch and her room was massive big you know rich people. 

She declined the call and sit on the left side couch to talk. 

I ask her " Mam are you okay?", and strangely she reply me " yeah everything's good" it sound like nothings happen like nobody is dead and even if then she doesn't care. 

She says " go ahead with your questions" 

" Mam when did you last saw Rohan?" I ask her the same question, 

" I don't remember it correctly maybe it was 10 days before, he came home late night and what he do, where he go, he never like to talk about it, he was a grown up boy and can do his stuff on his own so we never intervene in his life". She gave a very disappointing reply I was excepting that she must have know about him but I'm wrong. 

I don't know why but I felt so fishy what ever Mrs. Singal told us about him. 

I ask her another question " do you know where he always used to go maybe with friends or did he had a girlfriend?" 

She gives a dramatic reply to this " oh dear!, even if wanted to know a lot of things about him, but he never liked it if I talk to him about his girlfriend or any. And he did have a lot of friends I'll send you their name and contact details if that works for you. I have this urgent work to do so excuse me please." 

I give her my number and we say thank you to her and left the room. 

I look at Jay and I know we both have the same feeling about her.

We sit in car and I ask Jay " what do you think about Mrs. Singhal, like I have a really strange fishy feeling about her like does she even know that his son died?" 

Jay says " I do agree with you Piya, she just didn't care, she was replying like she's not his mother , I know I'm passing a very strong statement but I have this feeling" 

I reply to him " lets just go police station".
