White THE WOMAN ACROSS THE STREET RECAP Robin’s glance fell on a woman across the street. He saw her holding a wine glass and a book through her window. She was dancing. But suddenly, she raised her hand as if resisting some action. Within seconds, her wine glass fell down, and she, too, fell like a lifeless leaf. Robin rushed to inform the watchman of the building and was shocked when the watchman said that a woman had been murdered around two months ago in that apartment. The investigation team had found a broken wine glass and a book near her body. The similarities in the watchman’s narration and what he saw made Robin rooted to the spot.

The woman across the street ( PART 1) Around 7.00pm, Robin tried to slide the window curtain. His glance fell on a woman's silhouette behind a curtain of an apartment across the street. She seemed to be holding a wine glass in one hand and a book in the other, dancing to a tune. The curtain was wavering in the wind, and the window was open. In between, he could see inside the apartment as the curtain swayed up and down. Robin smiled and was about to close the curtains when he saw the woman suddenly raising her hand in a hostile manner, holding the wine glass as if resisting some action. This resulted in her wine glass falling down. Within minutes, he saw her fall down like a lifeless leaf, and the view sent shivers down his spine. Thinking she needed help, he immediately rushed across the street, into the opposite building and met the watchman. Robin was panting as he requested the watchman, "Please rush into the flat on the 10th floor, extreme left." Before he could complete it, the watchman interrupted, "Sir, it's been empty for over two months. A ballet dancer used to stay there, and one Saturday night, she was shot down and murdered. The investigation is still going on." Robin nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard what the building watchman had to say. "Oh no", he sighed and asked the watchman, "Did anyone get any clue near to her body?" "Nothing so far, other than a broken wine glass and a book," the watchman answered. Looking at Robin, he questioned, "Why did you instruct me to rush to that apartment?" "I thought, I saw someone calling for help," Robin replied. Looking at Robin, the watchman stressed, "Please don't imagine things." There's no one in that apartment. Around an hour ago, the officials investigated the area around the apartment. After closing it, they handed me the keys, and I cannot enter without an authorized permit. "Noted, and thanks," Robin said before proceeding to his apartment. He refrained from mentioning what he saw, which might have created unnecessary ripples. "Oh my God," Robin sighed as he opened the door to his apartment. - To be continued... ©Krishnan #Woman #suspense #microtale #short_Story #ShortStory #mystery
