I get knock on the door, I say " yeah come in", when he come in he is someone known and that's Pradeep.
He come in and greet me " hey Piya, I didn't expect to meet you again this early".
I can not process the whole thing yesterday only I meet him in the party and hopefully maybe he know that Rohan died still he was there in the party? Alot of questions.
Generously I ask him " would you like to have coffee or anything". He calmly refuse it.
" So Pradeep I hope you know why you're here correct?" I ask him and he reply with a nod.
Then I start to ask my question " so you're Rohan's best friend correct , so can I assume that you know a lot of things about him that nobody know correct" he just nod.
" When did you last saw Rohan ?" I ask him the same question, he reply to it saying " on the last party we had together 6 days back", I ask him about the details , he answer me saying " that party was organised on the same place as yesterday, we all were enjoying".
He wasn't saying what I want him to say then I ask him " did you noticed any sort of change in behaviour of Rohan ?" He reply " not at all, in fact he was so happy that day more then usual",
I ask him " didn't you ask him what is the reason behind the happiness?"
He reply " I asked him but he said that once he do it then he'll let everyone know about him , he also said that everyone will get to know about it on their own".
I curiously ask him " he didn't even gave any idea what he was going to do?"
He reply " no". This whole is situation is so confusing what he was upto, is this the reason behind his death so many questions.
" So Pradeep how do you know Rohan" I ask him,
" We are childhood friends, actually we're also family friends as his dad and mine have business relationship, we even went to same school" he spill about his friendship.
I ask him " as you're his childhood friend, so can you tell me was Rohan had any relationship or something?"
He smile while answering " look he never had anything serious, he was just having fun with no attachments"
Correct so far as everyone said earlier too.
I ask again " with whom he was on that night? Do you have any idea?"
He answer me while been a bit shy " he was with a lot of girls that night so can't say any one"
I cross verify what Rohan friend said, so I ask him " did Rohan introduce you to anyone that night?"
He reply me " yeah yeah that night he introduced everyone to Divya he meet her online on some app".
" My friend Divya ?" I ask him shockingly. " yeah, didn't Divya told you about this?, that was the reason everyone in yesterday party knew Divya " He ask me.
I become completely clueless that Divya like my friend Divya knew Rohan and she's also a suspect, she didn't even mention any of this to us.
I really can't process anything and now I don't know what to do anymore.
He say " I don't know how they both meet you can ask her about this"
I don't know what to do now I just nod whatever he said. Within some moment I get back to my sense.
I ask him a question " I know Pradeep this is a diplomatic question but you knew your best friend died and you were still there in yesterday party? Like if anything happen to my best friend I wouldn't be able to get back to normal life just within a day"
He interrupt me and say " so you're trying to say that I don't care about him or you meant that I'm happy that he is gone huh?".
I feel he get offend by what I just ask him, so I try to control the situation and ask him " that's not what I meant to say I was trying to ask you that a normal person take time to process things and you seem to be more than normal",
He gives reply " firstly I wasn't there in the party okay and I get there just because Divya asked me to come and the moment I came in she left in 5 minutes and asked a favour to drop both of you safely, I'm as eager as you're to find who did this to Rohan okay".
Again I judge him wrong, I don't know why I do this to people but this is a very bad thing I do.
I apologise to him " okay I apologise to you, I didn't want you to get offend" he didn't say a word so I ask him " why did Divya called you in the party, what happened between you two?"
I really want to know if Divya isn't involve in any of these and really want she don't have anything to do with both of them.
He give answer " she called me to ask about Rohan maybe she didn't knew what happen, she was so drunk at that time and I thought that I shouldn't let her be there alone, so I just came to see her and to make sure reach her home safely"
The facts whatever he is saying is not making sense so I ask him " so you let divya go by herself even if she was drunk and she was in her senses that she cared about jasmine and I, please Pradeep this all doesn't make any sense spill the truth".
He say " believe me Piya, Divya did call me drunk or maybe half drunk and I came there for her"
I just knew he is saying lie as he yesterday told me that he was invited by the host.
I ask him straight forwardly " look yesterday only you told me that you were invited by the host and now you're just flipping, so its better for both of us that you just tell the truth and all this acting do it at your shoot not here, I'm going way smooth just because I know you okay, so tell me everything in detail"
Then he start to spill everything " okay so, Divya called me saying Rohan is ignoring her text and everything and she felt that he is ghosting her, and she said she want to meet me, I felt like she didn't knew what happen to Rohan, so I came to the party to talk to her, when I said that Rohan died she looses her calm and started crying, she even Said that she wants to be alone so she left telling take care of them mean you and jasmine, that's the reason I came at the party and I knew you are Divya's friend and thats it Piya"
So when I saw her having an argument was actually not an argument she was talking to Pradeep and this was the reason she was crying yesterday when I saw her.
I still can not believe what he said, I really want to take break from everything and I ask him " okay I believe everything you say , lets take a break, you can go have lunch we'll continue this later"
He ask me " if you don't mind then shall we go out for lunch like together ?"
There he go asking me out for lunch and I need a break from him great, I being Piya, I can't resist his offer so I agree to him. Wow.
He say " if it's okay with you if I drive and if I pick the place" I reply him " okay fine".
I have a lot things going in my mind that I want to clear with Divya how she know Rohan and did she had an intercourse with him and if she's the last person to see Rohan or what is happening. I message her while going for lunch and she didn't read any of them.
Pradeep say " don't you think that this is destiny?", I am like what this guy is saying and reply " what?" With weird face.
He cover it " I meant to say that you're Divya's friend and because of her I meet you yesterday and now because of Rohan I could spend some time with you, nice correct", he actually make everything awkward and I just say it " ohh I think I'll take this as a part of my investigation because you're my suspect too plus you're Rohan's best friend and you know a lot of things, so tell me what did happen 6 days before?"
He reply saying " so you're still interrogating me? Come on girl we are going for lunch",
" Yeah correct, I know but still I need to know everything, so tell me" I make him say things.
He says " so that night we had conversation of him doing something great and everyone will get to know about after that later and when Divya came, he even introduced her to everyone standing there, and he went to hang out with other girls just talking I mean, and Divya was sitting with me and other guys and I shared a really good vibe with her, she was just sitting there only even if we started dancing, after a long time I did saw her going with Rohan somewhere maybe in a room or somewhere else I don't know as I was dancing and that was the last time I did saw Rohan, after that night I even tried to talk to him but couldn't be able to contact him and then heard this news of him".
After whatever he said I think I do believe what he just explain to me about Rohan but still I'm not satisfy with what he explain about Divya.
I need to catch up with her asap, I don't want her to get into any trouble.
He take me to a really nice restaurant, the vibe , ambience of the restaurant is mind-blowing actually I like this.
We order food and have a bit chit chat and he drop me at my office and he left as I didn't had anything to ask him.
I want to talk to Divya I try to call her it was straight away sent to voice mail, after sometime her phone died.
I start to compile everything and after this I can surely say Divya must have something important related to this case and I need to know this.
Waiting for her text and call I straight away go to visit her but her house help says that she didn't come home after she left for the party. Now that's concerning, she is the last person according to me who saw Rohan and now I cant find her. Where did she go, where is she then I call jasmine to ask if she know where is Divya, she also have no idea about this, but she say that you know she's Divya our drama queen she'll be fine, don't worry girl.
I feel a little better after talking to her and I go back to office as I have a lot of pending work.
I give update of everything to Mr. Singh and call it a day. I'm so done for today.
Jay drop me home and I straight away go to sleep.
Buzz buzz, again I wake up at 7 but this time it is because of a tons of calls from jasmine, I pick it up and she says while crying " heyy have you check the news, just go and check it while sorbing" I reply " okay okay I'm checking, just don't cry tell me what happen".
I turn my TV on, they are showing a dead body of a girl and reporter says her name Divya…..
