from previous

....before Tariq  stood displayed in it's  full glory a modern  two storey  house  surrounded with   a pleasant   blend of a floral garden and blooming blossoms,  something ugly  like a murder  had somehow  sent shivers  down the spine,  it was  not the right  place for a crime  , , the cabin was located between  the road leading to the market and the  boundary  hedge,  the gardener  kept his tools in that store, the  dead body of the victim was  found by the store, Tariq reached the  Dorr that opened into the  garden,  his experienced eye scanned the entire  scene,  but he couldn't find any thing,  his  reverie broke  with the opening and shutting of the door,  a man was   left the house  from the main entrance,  Tariq quickly followed him,  the  turned to look  on hearing tge footsteps  behind him,  Tariq in a fraction  read the fear  writ on nevardo s face,  he was a perfect image of utter exhaustion  and mental stress  reflected from his light blue eyes  , affecting his strong physique,  tall height,  muscular  limbs and broad shoulders 
You must be Tariq sahib,  nadim sahib had informed  telephonically about your arrival,  he was zulfar ali he introduced himself 
Aren't you  azim  sahib s secretary  asked Tariq looking directly into his eyes,  there was definitely something  unsaid  lurking in those  tired blue eyes that   were  going to present a strong challenge thought Tariq,  where had he seen that pair of eyes , he tried to recollect and said  it must have proved a terrible night  
Somewhat,  being a Sunday and driving throughout the day,  when he reached the place he couldn't sleep a wink
