It was a cold day that night awhile I waited for her car to appear , I planned it for a long time that every detail had been inscribed in my mind . The moment I spot her car ,I make my way to the road side pretending to be in need of assistance , the car stops near me as I expected , if it was a man and a stranger in close to middle of the night she would have been cautious to talk from inside the car .

But I was a women and a very pregnant one that she didn't feel the same wariness towards me ,all she saw was my broken down car and my pregnant belly to sympthasise with me , the pillow tucked in my stomach had been an information I added when I realized she was a new mother and would have a soft spot for her .

" Are you okay ?" She asked me and I wasn't okay to be able to take a life but I had to because her husband belonged to me ,I had already written our fairy tale and she was the villian who snatched him away . So I took the knife I was holding behind my back and stabbed her before she spotted it.

It was her surprise at being stabbed that gave me a thrill which I had to quench with guilt ,  but still  for the one milli second i felt powerful , so I stabbed her some more and when she lost consciousness ,I placed her back in the car .Careful not to leave any DNA trails of myself behind .

My plans went for a toss when she had been found before sunrise and still breathing when she reached the hospital , i had back up plans of course  in case someone stopped me and i had to flee without killing her but i had been taken back that she was still alive for nearly a hour after i left and so i went to the hospital

   I had searched and kept records of the nearest places she could be taken and on my second visit I heard the nurses talking about the ICU patients with stab wounds .

I had to wait till the surgery got over which gave me plenty of time to find my disguise,I even managed to get myself an ID card that would let me roam in the hospital without suspicion , and still I didn't want to raise suspicion. So stayed away until the surgery got over and she was moved to a ward for observation .

I choose that day particularly because Sanskar was away from town ,so the hospital corridor was filled with his family and Sakshi family but not him. Unfortunately for all my patience ,the door to Sakshi room need to be accessed with use of ID card and mine might stand the scrutiny of people but not computer.

   So i had to improvise and stole someone else and I had hoped that the girl won't notice it was missing for the next ten minutes I needed but unfortunately  the girl noticed it within an minute and raised the alarm.

  After she raised alarm ,the  security got  tightened  and I had no escape route because every exit was sealed shut or guarded by police and so I closeted myself in hospital bed and pretended to be a patient , except few cursory glance no one noticed me since I had turned back into an pregnant woman . Yet again I felt the thrill of the chase and turned it down with guilt and anger at the failure of my plan .

I turned my anger towards the girl instead and cursory glance at her ID card gave me enough information about her ,her cellphone number ,her home address and I had a new plan ,let someone else do my work for me . It took me sometime to break into her home not in person but through technology.

I hacked into her phone from my phone which had come to my rescue more often than people ,then found the password to her home lock and luckily for me she had installed a door alarm system which held cameras that could be used for my purpose. I took a picture from the house and sent it to her thirty minutes later .

" I am waiting outside your home ,if you didn't do as I say then your parents will be the one who would pay " I texted her and she called immediately in fear ,I told her step by step on what she should do and even asked her to pretend that she found her Id card and claim it had been her mistake that she misplaced it , I already took her ID card and dropped it beside the lift making her believe I left the hospital.

And I waited for her do it instead of me ,since I can't walk inside Sakshi room anymore. Then I saw her act just like I told her ,she first pretended to find the ID card took the blame for raising false alarm and finally she used her card to get into Sakshi room .

I had asked her to send me a video of her stabbing Sakshi and she did ,I was thrilled that my plan was accomplished until I saw a police inspector walking inside ,I expected her to be caught or the alarms to be raised instead nothing happened and it made me curious and worry .

    So I hacked into her phone again and realized she had tried to outsmart me ,she had already called someone saved as Bhai , now only I realized that Bhai had been the man who walked inside Sakshi room.

She tipped off the police again ,which meant she really didn't harm Sakshi. I tried to look into the video clearly but I saw blood lots and lots of it soaking Sakshi and I even saw her stabbing Sakshi but something was wrong and I had my answer when I zoomed in a little to find a blood bag on the floor ,she had tricked me and It made me furious .

So I waited again for normalcy to return ,I texted her a thanks and told her that her parents were safe. And then I waited some more till everyone became careless or believe the risk was gone .

    Few hours later ,they believed that i was outsmarted and believed that girl .,It made it easy to walk inside Sakshi room in person this time around using someone else card who hadn't been sharp as that girl ,because he didn't find his card was misplaced until I finished what I started and when I walked out of Sakshi room ,I knew she was dead and then I froze when I saw Sanskar making his way towards Sakshi room .

His family and her family were all away at that moment luckily that why i choose that moment to walk inside and now it may lead me to face him , so I hid again and it broke my heart to see him upset but it had to be done and I never wanted to see him mourn her and that why I blamed the girl for making me witness it . And I choose to have my revenge .

I drove to her home and killed her parents who had opened their doors readily for me unaware of my intentions ,then I erased all the technical footprints including wiping out the alarm system.

      So it didn't register my face and waited for her to return home to see the surprise I left for her and she was surprised indeed and then burst into tears ,it was calming in an way to see her breakdown because it helped me forget how upset he was  over his wife death and then I shot her in the chest and left ."

Miss X

       *********************

She starred at the handwritten confession of sorts and realized it had been somewhat intriguing to pen it down even if she had fully intended for one of her sister to take the blame for it .

When she first realized the best way to have Sanskar accept her would be if he believed Miss X and her were two  different people and for that she needs someone else to take the fall . If only it was easy for her to choose that someone .

She loved her sisters equally but there were so many things to consider including if they have an solid alibi on the night she committed murders ,if so then they may walk free or if they would be able to prove their innocence and but first she need to create evidence that point towards them .

A diary where she recorded everything would work , and so she began to write one reliving all those moments . And the biggest task of it was to place them in one of her sisters room and let it be found when Pradeep Roy come with his search warrant ,she had been waiting for him and know he would come soon and before he arrives she had to decide on which sister , a fact that kept her awake at night . And so she decided to send him a email with the hope soon enough she will be together with him

Dear Sanskar ,

I can't sleep tonight , my parents are dead . I loved them you know so much just like you loved Sakshi . They were not the best parents in the world but I wish they loved me as you love asha .

    I know you hate me for depriving Asha of her mother but Sanskar you need to let me inside your life and I will prove to you that I could be a good mother to Asha ,just give me a chance Sanskar . "

Yours ,

Miss X .
