Lurking in the Dark #TheFloraawards2017

15. I dint kill her

Purab's POV

Turn down for what... Turn down for what... I think that's my mobile ringing, but when did I change the ringtone? Never mind. Hello, What? But, how Tanu? How did this happen? You know right Nikhil wouldn't have killed Aaliya. Oh my God I had some work to do, so I came out and now this happens.

Bulbul's POV

We both reached Mehra Mansion to find it flooded with police again. I was wondering who would have killed Aaliya? We both were cleared off the case because of our Alibi given by the Coffee shop manager. They left the place with Aaliya's dead body for post-mortem and took everyone's finger print. I hope they catch the killer soon.

Nikhil's POV

I was led towards Median with the help of Irises. I was now face to face with a tall Muscular guy wearing White dress. The place in which I was, was completely mixed with both Black and White color. As though, like a checked shirt. He said, "Hey Mr. Warlock I heard everything. I was requested to keep you here until claimed back. But since I know your story I am letting you go." I said, "Thank you Mr..?" He said, "Oh, I am sorry I am Vishal." I said, "Ok! Thank you Mr. Vishal. Can you help me reach home?" Vishal replied, "Oh, Yes, With pleasure. Here you go." I opened my eyes to find myself inside the basement besides Aaliya. I was shocked to see her lying in a pool of blood. I went and touched her to check whether she was still alive? No, no hope there. She is dead for a long while now. I need to get out and have to do a work and then be back here. I really have to do that now or else I can't do it ever.

Prabha's POV

Oh my goodness I had to witness a girl being snatched off her arms and legs off her body lying in a pool of blood. She had her eyes closed as if she was sleeping. But I know things better, she had died in peace. But how is that ever possible? With her arms and legs being pulled out from her. A forensic guy came towards me and said, "Sir she has been torn apart. Her insides have been thrown out all around this place. Seems like she has been killed by an animal and not a human being. After that she has been dressed in a white dress. If you look carefully, you can see that it doesn't even have a drop of blood on it. She has been killed first and then dressed up." My eyes were fuming with anger. Who would want to kill a beautiful girl like this? I will never leave that person. If possible I will kill him/ her the same way. I told him to take fingerprints of every person in this house and check it with her body. I called my assistant Dinesh and told him to check all the people's Alibi.

Bulbul's POV

After our alibi was clear we both were told to stay there for the night. Inspector Prabha had his doubts. What is happening here? Why do I have to stay here? I am not even a family member. I just came here along with Purab. I was wondering what to do, that's when Purab came inside my room and started to pester me to tell about Pragya and Abhi. Sometimes he behaves like a kid, Since I dint have any choice I started to narrate...

FB Begins...

From the next day onwards Abhi always came to college to pick up Aaliya which was unusual according to her. But we both knew the reason. Tony was fuming from top to down whenever she witnesses Abhi staring at Pragya. And one day...

Pragya said, "Mr. Stop staring at me as though I am your world. I hate people staring at me so will you stop?" Abhi said, "Miss. Angry Queen, How do you know that I am staring at you? So you are also staring at me right? If I am not wrong?" she murmured something and said, "Please! I have a feel when someone stares at me. I feel like something is crawling on my skin. I felt the same and found you staring at me. So will you stop doing it?" Abhi is Abhi right? He never stopped staring at her. Then I found both of the sharing eyelocks now and then. When enquired she murmured, "I don't want to get hurt again." Her eyes spoke more than her words. I sensed something was wrong here. So I went and told Abhi about this. I said, "Abhi ..." He turned towards me and said, "Yes, tell me Bulbul. What can I do for you?" I said, "I need to speak to you about Pragya . I know you like her and want to spend your time with her. I know her only after I joined this college. I think something has happened before I joined her. Whenever you stare at her she always keeps saying, 'I don't want to get hurt again.' So Bro will you help me sort out the problem?" I saw his face I was able to read it like a book. He was worried for her, much like his life depended on her. He said, "Sure thing dear." We have to make her speak first. She never opens her mouth to speak always speaks only to fight. But I like that too. Fighter hen" He winked at me and left the place. See, this is the reason I said he is made for her. If it was some other guy he would have said, 'Who does she thinks she is! I never want to see her again. Girl with too much Pride!'

Pragya's POV

He never stops staring at me, in one way or the other I am reminded of myself even I did the same with him. I really don't want to get hurt again or to hurt Abhi. His eyes speak volumes and volumes of Love I can read like a book. His feelings for me are genuine, I don't want to fall in love again. I went towards him and said, "Mr. Stop staring at me as though I am your world. I hate people staring at me so will you stop?" Abhi said, "Miss. Angry Queen, How do you know that I am staring at you? So you are also staring at me right? If I am not wrong?" I said to myself, 'You notice all these kinds of stuff perfectly, very well Mr.Abhi. Very well. I said, "Please! I have a feel when someone stares at me. I feel like something is crawling on my skin. I felt the same and found you staring at me. So will you stop doing it?" He never stopped staring at me and all I could do was plead him with my eyes. If someone noticed us it would seem like we are having an eye lock. I love to do that! You know just keep staring at his brown balls. I just want to lose myself and stay there in his eyes forever. His eyes! I just can't take my eyes off them. They are so... so... Oh come on, 'P' get a hold of yourself. You don't want to get hurt again right? So, shut up and stop staring at him as though you will eat him up.

Meanwhile somewhere near the college....

A girl with long flowing hair is seen walking with her friends. Laughing and teasing. On the other side of the college a guy with a group of friends is seen walking, hitting each other and teasing. They are just separated by the college in between them.

Present time

Prabha's POV

I heard my mobile ring I picked up and heard a muffled voice saying, " I know who killed Aaliya Mehra. You can even check with the fingerprints on her body with the one's you took in this mansion. It is none other than Nikhil, Nikhil Lambha. I hope you will take necessary action." Before I could say anything the person on the other side ended the call. I thought really weird but what's wrong in checking things out? It was just 10 pm and I am also staying in Mehra Mansion. So I called my assistant Dinesh and asked him about the fingerprint match and he said, "Sir, how did you know about this?" I said, "I said it's magic! Now get me an arrest warrant and be here within half an hour." He said, "Yes sir!" and ended the call. He felt like he was standing in front of me and giving me a full hand salute. Weird guy, intelligent, though.

After half an hour I found my assistant coming inside, followed by Mr. Lambha. I called everyone out with the help of my assistant and found Bulbul and Purab coming out from the same room something fishy. According to Nikhil and Tanu he was her boyfriend. Will check that out later. Everyone was present there I said, " Fingerprints results has come and I found Mr.Lambha to be guilty." He started shouting, "No... I didn't kill her... I dint.. dint... kill her." He knelt down holding his face. I knelt down beside him and said, " Sorry Mr.Lambha you are under arrest." I don't know why I really feel like he dint kill her but the finger prints matched with his. I am totally confused now.
