Both Anisa and Yugh received an unexpected and urgent call from the police. Confused and anxious, they arrived at the police station separately, unaware that the truth waiting for them would shake the ground beneath their feet.
The police officer began calmly, his tone professional but heavy.š®
"Mrs. Malik and Mr. Singh, we are still investigating why your partners were together that night and where they were heading in the early hours of the morning. According to the statements you previously gave, neither of you were aware of any relationship between them. Is that correct?"
"Yes, we didn't know," Anisa and Yugh replied almost simultaneously. š
The officer nodded and continued, "I called you both today to inform you about the progress of our investigation ; specifically, the primary cause of the accident."
A brief silence filled the room before Anisa spoke, her voice cautious.
"The causeā¦ wasn't it because the car slipped into the ravine? It had rained heavily that night, and the road was slippery."
"You're right, Mrs. Malik," the officer replied. "But that wasn't the main cause. Our investigation revealed that when Zayan pressed the brake pedal, it didn't respond. The brake pads failed because someone had deliberately cut the brake wires." š
"Cut them?" Yugh asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Who would do such a thing?"
"That's what we're still trying to find out, Mr. Singh," the officer said gravely. "But based on our findings so far, this was not a simple accident. We believe it was a planned murder."
"Murderā¦" Anisa and Yugh whispered at the same time, their hearts sinking as the truth finally surfaced. š²
