__________

The moment the sun rays penetrated through the Earth's atmosphere, the investigation of the next person, Tanmaya Gokhale started as she requested them to keep it early in the morning.

Tanmaya Gokhale, the colleague of Miss Vaishnavi Narsule who always makes it a point to leave her home after their shifts at the hospital.

According to the Vaishnavi, she also left her at home that night when Rudra Kashyap got murdered.

"Miss. Tanmaya Gokhale. Getting directly to the point, how is Miss. Narsule at the hospital...? How is her behaviour...?Also, how was her relationship with her husband...?"

Kairav Ghosh, the main investigator asked the female sitting in front of him. This time, for the investigation, he stepped in as he thought it was necessary now to step in, instead of observing the people through the glass window.

Tanmaya thought about the question for few minutes before answering the question in a systematic way. Anyone, listening to her, can say that she is good at speaking and have the understanding of usage of the body language in the daily life.

The above statements can be proved, by giving the fact that she is a Psychiatrist and has done PhD in Psychology.

He tried to overwhelm her with multiple questions which he sometimes does when the person who is getting interviewed is smart and knows how to deal with the people and their mind.

"As a colleague, we need to respect each other. That is the top ethics of the hospital we work in.

Every doctor there, are excellent in their jobs and give their everything for the patients.

If I have to dissect one of the doctor, I have to dissect it respectfully.

I have special adoration and admiration towards Dr. Narsule because she not only excels at her work but is an ace.

She is the best in this field and never ever even once any patient have had any complaint against her.

She is systematic, rational, practical and confident, which makes her stand out of the crowd."

Clearly, his technique didn't worked, as expected from the beginning. She is similar to Vaishnavi in many ways. The major one being how it is not easy to trick them both.

Yesterday, while observing Vaishnavi's body languages and the way she spoke up, he came to a conclusion.

She is smart. Not only she is smart, but she also knows to wrap the person who is sitting in front of her, around her fingers and make her believe in the words she is uttering.

Even though, her gestures, actions and words were geniune as they were no traces of dishonesty in her posture, he wasn't able to read her mind.

It felt as if she have blocked up the mind to challenge him. She is acting like a fragile person from outside but from inside, she is protecting her mind because the mind is greatest gift to the humanity and she knows to compliment that gift.

"About her relationship with her husband. They both were the couple-goals. Everyone in our department, and actually the whole hospital in that case, was jealous or some of them were envious of the bond they both shared.

They both complimented each other very well and looked like stereotypical match-made-in-heaven type.

I have no idea about when they went in a relationship, how they met, or who proposed who, as I wasn't picture during that time. When I joined the hospital, she was already in a relationship with him, and when our relationship as friends got closer, they announced their marriage.

After getting married to him, she was glowing with happiness. Some of the people, even gossiped about how they thought that she is already pregnant because of her ethereal glow.

To sum up their relationship, they both were hopelessly romantic people who found love in each other and just like the fairytale, they promised to be with each other till the end of the time when their breaths gets snatched away by the destiny."

She kept on complimenting her senior and her relationship with her husband as Kairav Ghosh kept his calm. Since, 3-4 days whoever he asks to give a testimony about Vaishnavi, everyone says all good about her.

Whether it is about how good person or how superb wife she was, no one have ever said anything bad about her character, personality or temperament. Ask anyone, her neighbours, the workers working in her husband's office, the maid in her house, or now, her colleague, everyone has something good to talk about her.

There is nothing against her. There is no evidence pointing towards her, expect those divorce papers.

But she was the closest person to him and that closeness made him and the police doubt her.

On top of that, how can he trust a women who wasn't even sure about her own husband's sexuality whom she have been in a relationship for good 10 years...?

It is impossible for her not to know when her profession requires showing mirror to the people who come to her asking for the help.

"I dissected her as a doctor, now I will dissect her as a normal Human Being, stripping away from our profession and position."

Now when the situation got little bit interesting and routine investigation took a sharp U-turn, his ears perked up as his mind was now fully concentrated on what she was going to say.

"As a friend, she is a very good person. But one thing about her personality or the situation in general, I didn't liked was how she tried to hard to show everything is going okay in their marriage.

I don't know about what others feel about it, I am sure though that she have successfully fooled many but not me. From my point of view, her marriage outlook was quite unreal and unrealistic. And moreover, there were times when I caught her lying about the same.

No marriage is perfect. How can a couple stay without fighting or even not getting annoyed by each other...? And that too, after 10 years of being in the relationship...? Hell no. It is not possible.

Also, Cutting the chase....."

Dragging up the statement to create a sense of mystery in the mind of the investigator, she kept her right leg on top of her left leg to show that she has an upper hand in the conversation now as she folded her arms and looked at him with smugness all plastered on her face.

She is playing safe. By complimenting her senior, she is not only saving herself from future scars and scares but also making sure that police will not disturb her from now onwards. And that move was kind of smart.

Even Kairav Ghosh, who is a senior investigator with lot of experience, was shocked at the sudden turn of the interview. But nevertheless, he was intrigued as the excitement of what she is going to reveal about Vaishnavi bloomed in his mind, sending the feeling of glitters to his heart which is patiently waiting for her remarks.

"The day of his murder, at her request, I felt Vaishnavi at the lake and not at her house."
