★It's a fresh morning. The powerful rays of the sun made Aadhvik to wake up from his deep sleep to face the beginning day of the case which is waiting eagerly to change his life. Unaware of it he is having his cup of coffee prepared by himself standing in the balcony of his house which is one among the row houses of the street. The 3BHK is big enough for 5 or 6 people to stay but it's only him who's living there for the past 2 years. It's now when he hears the sound of his mobile - a call from Sarvesh. He walks towards the table near his bed and attended the call.

Aadhvik : Sollu Sarvesh
....
Aadhvik : Enga
....
Aadhvik : Ok. Na vantharen.

Aadhvik reaches a lonely house in next few minutes and notices Sarvesh walking towards him as he gets down from his jeep.

Sarvesh : Good morning Sir.

Aadhvik : Yaru first pathanga Sarvesh?

Sarvesh : Antha ponnoda amma Sir. Usual ah antha ponnu seekirame keela vanthu tea kekumama. Ana iniku varala nu mela poi pathurukanga. Apo than...

They enter a room in the first floor of the house. There lies a girl on the bed who is brutally killed with few slits on her hands, face and neck.

Sarvesh continues : Peru Iniya. Age 20. Ore ponnu. Appa illa. Amma private school principal. Sahana college la 2nd year Engineering padikira.

Aadhvik : Any clues?

Sarvesh : Forensic department check pannitu irukanga Sir. Epdi killer ulla vanthanu therila. Aana intha window odachu than velila poirukan (pointing a window in the room). Yen na glass pieces velila than iruku.

Aadhvik : Antha ponnoda amma enga?

Sarvesh : Keela irukanga sir.

Aadhvik : Ok Sarvesh. Na avanga kita visarichutu station poren. Nee forensic la report collect pannitu station vanthuru.

Sarvesh : Ok Sir.

Aadhvik comes to the hall to see Iniya's mother. She's sitting in the sofa and crying hard.

Aadhvik : Mam sorry ipo kekrathuku. But enaku sila questions unga kita kekanum. (She nods her head as a positive response. So he continues) Nethu unga veetuku yaravathu vanthangala?

Iniya mom : Illa sir. Nethu naanum school la irunthu late ah than vanthen. Mela room la light erinjathu. Na Iniya nu koopten. Apo ava keela etti patha. Tired ah iruku sapadu venam nu thoonga poita. Ana ava normal ah than sir pesuna. But morning patha... (She starts crying again)

Aadhvik : Sorry mam. Ok na aprom varen. Ungaluku ethavathu different ah thonuchuna odane call pannunga.

Saying so he leaves from there and goes to his station.
