Chapter 6
It was already afternoon when Jennifer and Ayesha were at the hospital inquiring the hospital staff. From the staff’s words they collected some information about the hospital manager Joshua.
'Joshua was deeply in love with Arianna. When he proposed his love to her she turned him down. Still he was continuously persuading her. Everyone in the hospital knows about him and his obsessive nature. He maybe cynical but I don't think he would go this extreme to kill Arianna.'
'We have to go by the doubts. That's our job,' said Ayesha after hearing it from Arianna's friend.'Yeah right! We cannot have any loose ends,' said Jennifer. 'You may go.'
Ayesha called in Joshua. The guy who walked in seemed to be in his late 20s, well-built and looked quite weary. His eyes were blood shot. Ayesha asked some basic information about him and then asked, ‘So tell me about your connection with Arianna.'
Joshua was filled with tears, ‘I loved her so much but I was not aware why she refused me. Only later I found out she was having an affair with that doctor, f** Ravi.’ He tightened his knuckles at the mention of Ravi’s name. ‘I even warned her that he is married and not to go after him but she did not listen to me. I lost my temper and screamed at her couple of days back. That was the last time I saw her here. And yesterday she took her day off and today...’ his voice broken and couldn't continue.
An image of those mysterious red eyes which Meera was talking about flashed in front of Ayesha. She then said, ‘okay Joshua. Now you may go. But we will call you again anytime for the inquiry. So don’t leave the town’
Ayesha had a doubt if there could be any possibility of him involved in this murder. After he left the room,
Jennifer scribbled down in her notepad: Suspect 1 - Dr. Ravi. Suspect 2 – Joshua.
‘I think we should keep him under surveillance..’ Ayesha said as she closed the files and got ready to leave.
‘Ah.. Now this case is even more tangled’, sighed Jennifer.To be continued...
