Five years had passed since that fateful night. Deminan's grandma had passed away, leaving him alone to fend for himself. But he wasn't alone for long. He had married Sonia a year ago, and she was now pregnant with their child. Deminan had been working multiple menial jobs to make ends meet, providing for both himself and Sonia.
On this particular day, Sonia was sitting in the parlour, waiting for Deminan to return from his errands. She was feeling sleepy, but she was determined to stay awake until her husband came back. As she sat there, she heard a knock on the door. She rushed to open it, thinking that it might be Deminan returning early.
But to her surprise, she found two strangers standing at her doorstep. They were dressed in police uniforms, and Sonia's heart skipped a beat as she realized who they were. Her eyes widened in fear as she tried to compose herself.
"Hello," one of the detectives said, flashing his identity card. "Can we come in? We have some questions to ask you."
Sonia's mind was racing as she tried to think of what to say. She didn't want to let them in, but she also didn't want to arouse their suspicion. "My...my husband is not around," she stammered. "Can you come back tomorrow?"
The detectives looked at each other, seemingly discussing something in silence. Then, one of them spoke up. "Okay, ma'am. We'll come back tomorrow morning. Please make sure your husband is around."
Sonia nodded, trying to hide her fear. "Yes, of course. Thank you."
The detectives thanked her and departed, leaving Sonia feeling shaken and anxious. She closed the door and sat back down, trying to calm herself down. "I did it for self-defence," she whispered to herself. "No...I don't regret it."
She adjusted her clothes and tried to relax, but her mind was racing with thoughts of what might happen tomorrow. She knew that she had to tell Deminan about the police visit, and she hoped that he would know what to do.
The next morning, Deminan returned from buying groceries, unaware of the police visit the day before. As he approached the house, he noticed a police car parked outside. His heart skipped a beat as he wondered what was going on.
He walked towards the police car, and the detectives alighted from the vehicle. "Good morning, sir," one of them said. "Are you Deminan, the husband of Sonia?"
Deminan nodded, his mind racing with thoughts of what might be happening. "Yes, that's me. What's going on?"
The detectives looked at each other, and then one of them spoke up. "We need to ask you and your wife some questions. May we come in?"
Deminan's heart was racing with fear, but he tried to compose himself. "Yes, of course. Please come in."
As the detectives followed Deminan into the house, Sonia's eyes met his, filled with fear and anxiety. Deminan tried to reassure her with a gentle smile, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that their lives were about to change forever.
It all started a week ago, when a group of workers from the government's development agency arrived at the old, abandoned property on the outskirts of town. The property had a reputation for being haunted, and many locals avoided it. But the government had other plans.
The workers were tasked with clearing the land and preparing it for development. They worked tirelessly, day and night, to meet the project's deadline. One of the workers, a young man named Alex, was assigned to dig a trench for the new foundation.
As Alex dug deeper, his shovel hit something hard. He cleared away the dirt and found an old, worn-out ID card. Alex was curious - what was this ID doing here? He decided to dig a bit further, and what he found shocked him to his core.
Beneath the ID card, Alex discovered a skeleton. The remains were old, and it was clear that the person had been dead for many years. Alex was horrified. He fell to the ground, crying out in shock.
The other workers rushed to his side, and soon they all realized what they had stumbled upon. They quickly reported the discovery to the police, who arrived promptly to take control of the scene.
The police investigation began immediately. They collected evidence, took statements from the workers, and started searching for any clues that might lead them to the identity of the deceased.
It wasn't long before they found a match. The ID card belonged to none other than Deminan, the husband of Sonia. The police were shocked - what was Deminan's ID doing at the scene of a decades-old crime?
The police quickly got to work, trying to piece together the events of that fateful night. They discovered that Mr. Thompson Sean had been reported missing many years ago, and his family had assumed the worst.
But now, with the discovery of his ID card at the crime scene, it seemed that Deminan might be more involved in the mystery than anyone had initially thought.
The police decided to pay Deminan a visit, to ask him some questions about the ID card and the events surrounding Mr. Thompson's disappearance. And that's exactly what happened, as we saw earlier, when the police arrived at Deminan's house, catching him and Sonia off guard.
Now, as the police begin their investigation, Deminan and Sonia's lives are about to change forever. The secrets they've kept hidden for so long are finally starting to unravel, and it's unclear what the consequences will be.
