Chapter 2
The
crows’ unusual cawing sound from the garden and the murmurs from outside stirred
Meera from her sleep who stayed back with Leela that night. She got up from the
couch and found Leela still sleeping. Without disturbing
her, Meera slowly walked to the window and saw some huge crows perching on the
branches and a group of people standing near the lake which was located
adjacent to the house. Among the crowd, couple of them appeared to be police
officers with a huge German Shepherd sniffing around the lake. She jerked and turned around
as the doorbell rang. She looked at Leela and the buzzing sound did not seem to
wake her up from her sound sleep. Meera quickly reached the door and opened it. It
was her friend Ayesha standing out there talking to someone over the phone.
‘Meera,’
Ayesha was surprised to see her coming out of Leela’s house, ‘Hey, what are you
doing here?’
Meera
explained the whole scene that took place the night before. Looking at the
situation at the lake, she asked curiously, ‘what’s going on?’
‘We
have been reported a murder. We are in search of the dead body. That’s why I am
here to ask if they have seen or heard anything.’ Ayesha, staring at the lake
side, asked ‘Did you notice anything unusual at the lake last night?’
Meera
thought for a second and said, ‘No, I mean, it was completely dark. I couldn't
see anything other than what I just told you’
Ayesha
heard someone calling her name. It was the chief detective Jennifer signaling
her to come there. Meera accompanied Ayesha as she walked towards the
murder scene. They saw the cops retrieving a dead body from the lake. It was a
woman and the dark purple marks around her neck showed easily that she was strangled
to death. And Meera could recognize her.
‘Ayesha, I have seen her before,’ Meera said in a lower tone, ‘She worked with
Leela’s husband at the hospital.’
‘What?’
Ayesha turned to the chief detective and said, ‘We have a positive
identification of the victim,’ and then signaled Meera to walk with her. ‘This
is my friend, Meera’, Ayesha introduced to the chief detective, ‘and she stays
nearby. She identifies the victim as the colleague of Leela’s husband.’
‘Er.. Leela.. who?’
‘Yeah.. that blind lady...um..’
‘Ah.. well, that made my job easier. So where is that woman now?’ the chief detective Jennifer asked before even she completed it.
‘Yeah.. that blind lady...um..’
‘Ah.. well, that made my job easier. So where is that woman now?’ the chief detective Jennifer asked before even she completed it.
Ayesha
stared at her for a moment and then said, pointing to the house located adjacent to the lake, ‘She
lives there’.
