The Case of the Pink Panties and Hankies Vidanage P Karunaratne

30 year old Mahima being the wife of 37 year old Professor Vivek Dunuwila of the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, discovers a slightly worn pair of pink-coloured panties and a pair of used hankies in the dash-board locker of the car of her husband. Since this pair of pink panties is of smaller size, Mahima realizes that they do not belong to her or to her younger sister Priyanka who is of the same constitution as her. Priyanka is 26 years old and is a Lecturer of the same University. Mahima who herself was a former campus student of her husband before their marriage suspects that her handsome husband who appears quite younger than his age has developed a clandestine love affair with a young campus girl student possessing a slim constitution who perhaps may be the real owner of those enigmatic pink panties and hankies. Thus all the hell breaks loose with this discovery driving Mahima into hysterics! This incident creates an unpleasant and hostile atmosphere as Vivek denies of any knowledge of how such riddling objects came into his car. At this point, the story delves into a flashback.
