..."Hi, is Kary at home?", I said to the beautiful lady standing on the door of Kary's house.
"Hello, well Kary isn't here, she would return by tomorrow morning."
"Where is she, actually I called her mny times but she didn't picked up my calls."

A voice came from inside, 'Who is at the door?' It seemed like a French accent and Kary doesn't know French not any of her relatives could be of France.
Then who could the man behind?
Well, the lady let me in.

She went inside and brought me a glass of water.

"May I know your good name", she said and sat on the front sofa.

"Well, I'm Alex. Me and Kary are in the same department. And she is the assistant of professor Karl. By the way, I have never seen you before, I guess."

"Oh!, I am Kary's cousin, Nia."

"It's good to see you Nia, Kary never told me about you."
"Maybe, it's because she would never have got the chance but she told me about you as well as of professor Karl.
I was eagerly waiting to meet you both and you see I finally got the chance."

Well, my mind was in a glaze, I didn't knew about her but she got to know a lot. I was not sure who she really was and does she know about the file and the missing news of professor Karl.

So I asked her,"Do you know where Kary has gone cause I needed to inform her something important."
" You could tell me Alex, I would inform her."
"Well, its a bit personal and you know Nia, we can't share it like this."
"Hmm, I could understand. Kary was little tensed, so she just went for a break."

"Where?", I asked...
