When Heena got into the Inspector's office, she noted that the atmosphere was not friendly at all. "Good afternoon sirs," Heena greeted them in low spirit."Welcome!" Inspector Zenaye and Ro'Sau responded while Ijia tightened his face. Heena sat beside her father, however, she was not feeling comfortable as there was silence in the room.Mr. Ro'Sau asked if he could go outside to discuss this with Heena."Who is she to you?" Ijia asked rudely."She's my first daughter," Ro'Sau replied in a good manner. It looks as though Ijia has overtaken the place of Inspector Zenaye. He took the questioning so seriously as if there was a mega prize for him to win with the case."She's your daughter, so what?" Ijia muttered rudely."Please, Can I have a minute with my daughter outside?" Ro'Sau pleaded."Yes, you can," Inspector Zenaye said ahead of inspector Ijia. Seems Ijia has had an unfinished battle with Ro'Sau in the past because his outrageous behaviour towards him calls for questioning."Dad

She placed them on the tray with water and was moving to the dining centre, her phone chimed.She immediately put the tray on the table and scrolled through her message.

Shawn is not ready yet to break the silence between them at all.After about forty minutes, they arrived at their house, and Shawn switched off the engine. As soon as Avie got down from the car to open the gate, he started the engine and zoomed off.He drove very fast for about ten minutes, he packed the car by the roadside, let down the glass, and screamed "God why!!!".
