Angad was shocked. He sat with his head hung for a while. All at once many thoughts crossed his mind. He then cleared his throat and asked, “I am extremely saddened to hear about his demise. Ma’am, could I at least get to see his photograph?”

Simran pointed at the wall behind him where large photographs of the Sahani couple were mounted. Controlling his emotions, Angad stood close to the photographs and studied them keenly for a while. He felt his entire purpose of visiting Ludhiana was defeated; a lot of his unanswered questions would remain eternally unanswered! As he considered the course of his next action, the maid walked in with a tray full of refreshments. When Angad turned, Simran noticed the sadness in his eyes. She was intrigued by Dr Sachdev's reaction hearing about the death of a man whom he had never met in his life!

This gave me a hint of what the plot was going to be.

Simran was distracted by Angad’s way of referring to his father as Dr Sachdev, she thought it was odd. The word 'Jigsaw puzzle' alerted her.

This made the suspicion stronger.

A few weeks later, one of Dr Sahani’s friends, Mr Walia met Simran at the bank. In the course of their conversation, he mentioned that a few days before his death, Dr Sahani had mentioned about a friend in Mumbai, who had a son of marriageable age and the initial correspondence was on with them. Mr Walia wanted to know whether Simran was aware of this.

This news disturbed Simran a lot as she wondered whether Angad was that eligible bachelor!

And then this threw me off track!!! :-D

Was happy to find that my initial guess was right. Nice story, Geeta.
