Part 1: The Day Of The Accident
He kissed his wife a goodbye as she left for work. She was dressed more prettier than usual. She had a party at her office of course. He waved his hand she blew him a flying kiss. Shutting the door, he locked it and got back to the room.
He looked around, the room was in a mess. His wife's dresses all over the bed. She couldn't seem to decide one. He shook his head, she was definitely worse than him at making choices.

"Yash!!" She knocked at the bathroom's door for the third time.
"Yash I'm getting late!" She spoke irritated. She and her husband always made it a point to leave together to reach their workplaces respectively. They would drive her to office, and then he would leave for his. Something they had done very religiously after their wedding. When the arranged marriage had turned to a friendship, to a beautiful bond of love even they din't know.
"Yash! 5 minutes otherwise I m leaving!" She finally declared with a bang and walked out of the room, purposefully tapping her feet louder, so that he could make out she was gone.
She folded his arms as he walked out of their home, hurriedly. "Sorry Jaan! "
She looked away. He frowned and quickly got to her side and kissed her cheek. "SORRY!"
"You know I don't like getting late!" She looked at him grumpily.
"I understand there is a party, and that you are the boss, but that doesn't mean you take an entire extra half an hour to get ready!" She added.
"Sorry! Let's move now!" He quickly got in the driver's seat. She rolled her eyes and got in. The car pulled away.

She stared at him, as he lay lifeless. Tears rolling down her cheeks. Eyes bloodshot. The people around were moving around the room in a hustle.
There opposite to her sat another man, his manner reflecting hers. He was more angry. His clenched muscles fisted fingers, and stiff body language gave away his anger.
"Mrs. Yash , Mr. Aaditya." The two looked up as the constable called their names respectively.
"This way please, certain formalities have to be taken care of!" The constable showed them into a room.
The head in charge, looked up at the two. "I understand, the shock the two of you are in, it's not that every day we do not get such cases. We do. But, this one is different. More than your loss, the truth is also bitter. Anyways, are you two convinced it was just an accident? We are still searching for the car that hit them, but honestly we have no clue. No witness, No evidence. Just dead bodies. Quite honestly I haven't seen a case such as this. It's well strange, two people in one accident. A little hard to digest for me. What do you think?"
"People get what they deserve! Do you believe that one is punished as they have to be no matter what!?" Spoke Aditya, looking up at the officer.
The officer met his eyes. "I understand your anger makes you say it."
She shot him a glare and chose to not comment.
Their respective spouses were found dead on the road, their hands intertwined. They worked under the same firm. The police suspected it was a case if rash driving, but also the immediate reports said that the two were drunk. It had been a stormy rainy night. Even if their would have been any evidences they would have been wiped away. They had died the last night. It had already been close to eight hours.
"Maybe a truck hit them!" Suggested the constable standing aside in the room. The room was silent, it was still drizzling outside, the silence was occasionally broken by soft screams of the sky, the soft thunders
"Is there anything or can I leave?" She asked pushing the form towards the officer.
"We will transport the body. You can leave Mrs. Yash!"
She closed her eyes being addressed like that. "It's Zoya, Sir. Zoya."
The officer looked up at her tight lipped and nodded.
He got up after roughly pushing the form as well. "Send her to her family, I have nothing to do with this woman anymore."
The officer sighed. The case was indeed a twisted one.
The two walked out at the same time. His hand brushed hers. She diverted her attention to the touch. She looked at his hand. He dint care, he walked out.
Soon she followed his trail.
The officer looked thoughtfully. There was something that din't fit. He couldn't understand what.

The night was cold, the rain was unstoppable and the sky loud. The officer was driving, silently on his patrol. He pulled his car to a halt, when he saw a car at a distance. How could people stop their car on such nights, on a road where speeding and rash driving was popular event? Sighing he parked his car a little aside and got off his vehicle with a black umbrella in hand. In the dark of the night he walked towards the car. Only when he was close to the car did he make out something fishy. He rolled his eyes and got still closer. He was in no mood to intrude upon someone's privacy this night. The couple was kissing seated in the front seats of the car. He turned to make his back, when something made him turn back. He faintly stressed his mind, it din't require much effort. He knew he had seen that face before. Haan, yes, the case he was linked with that happened a year back! The case he would not so easily forget. He titled his head to see the woman the man was now smiling at. He was beyond shocked it was the other woman linked in the case! The one who had lost her husband. Thinking for a minute, he walked back. He had to revisit the case. He always had a hunch, the case was not what if seemed!
