There was an eerie silence in d atmosphere. D hubbub of window panels flailed across d room. Ash narrowed gaping Taani. Rishi n Pari (Mr n Mrs.Shekawaths) slouched irresolutely. Taani blundered in her seat. Suddenly, d quietness exploded with hoots of laughter by Mr n Mrs. Shekawath. Taani was aghast unable to entrust their reaction.

"Did u hear that, Pari? My baby doll is cooking up great stories" Rishi chortled gullibly. "Indeed" Pari giggled, shaking her head. "Y will I do that?" Taani prattled. "Oh come on sis! Don't u think, we know what's exactly running in ur mind" Ash butted. "U don't want to be grounded by mom-dad, so that u can leave ur life as ur wish." She reckoned. "Don't even think of escaping from us" Pari bowled Taani's dinner plate with treacle fudge. Taani snorted incredulously wiggling her gaze from plate to d 3 people who are annoyingly sweet. Her cell beeped d message from an unknown number. It showed "KEEP PLAYING. OTHERWISE U WILL BE THE NEXT TO DIE" Taani was perturbed. DIE? Is Taanz dead? Did someone sly her? Her hands trembled uneasily. She ogled all d surroundings to scan d watch on her. But there was no hint of it. She came here to meet her sister but she's dead. "Taanz! Where have I got myself?" Taani muttered under her breathe, feeding her first family supper blearily.

Oh wow! My parents didn't believe Taani, extraordinary! Y would they, after all they r well aware of my antics. Now who's this threatening her? Do d person have any connection with my death?

After a lovely dinner, Taani was guided to her room by Ash since it was beside hers. Taani's wistful dream of having her own luxurious room had come alive today but with d expense of her sister's whereabouts. D room was resplendently brandished. D ceiling was scarlet with tinkling portrait paints on it. The clattering chandelier spectacularly shimmered. D walls were all hung with the versatile photography of Taanz photos. Across d edge, a sleek mirror was stiffened which turned out to be a dressing table. Beside it d open wardrobe stood high, containing immaculate designary clothes, shoes, accessories of Taanz. Taani lumbered peering d laudatory view. She threw her rack-sack in ludicrous. She slumped on d bed which was occupying 1/3rd of d room. She closed her eyes to come out of her beautiful dream of her sister's world.

Her cell shivered in d pocket awakening her to process d reality. She picked to c d call by Swayam. She grinned broadly and said "Hello!" "Huhhhh.... Taani. Do u mind remembering me? Have u forgot my condition? It's been 6 hours. I didn't hear a word from u. If u dare to repeat d same one more time, get ready to face me at Delhi. Got it?" Swayam pummeled ominously. "Hush! Take a break, Swayam." She whiffed. She explained everything happened in d journey of her entry from Delhi to finally d house of her sister. "What? Taanz is dead" Swayam menaced. "Taani, it's getting very dangerous. Someone is playing with u. Its better u get back to, Bangalore" He advised. "How can I Swayam? I have to find my sister. Even if she's dead, d people here should know d truth. I have to find d murderer." She raked her voice. "Then allow me to join u, ok" Swayam chided at her stubbornness. "U can't......." Swayam broke her in middle sentence. "Of course, I can. Now don't argue. I'll be there at tomorrow morning. Now don't stress. Have GN. Love u, bye" He cut d call not allowing her to oppose his words. She sighed in relief, thinking of her next move towards her sister.

I'm dead Taani. Y don't u just believe it? But I don't know how. I'm oblivious that who killed me. Even I'm curious to know d crook of my misery. Maybe, I can c him if u find out. Swayam is coming here, hope u both not get into trouble.

Taani waggled out of bathroom wearing a pink bathrobe of Taanz. She stood in front of mirror gazing her picture in it. Incidents in her expedition to Delhi wailed across her memory. Suddenly, d mirror reflected a swift movement in d background. Taani turned horrified. "Who's that?" She yelled. Her eyes wandered to get some defensive instrument. There was a glistening knife on the hamper. She slipped it stiffly in her palm and stepped cautiously pointing it forward. Suddenly, someone pulled her wrist banging her to d wall. She felt a weight plastered to her body. D same cologne she smelled before spread her nostrils hallucinating d senses. Her breathe sniffed heavier. She shut her eyes in fear.

"Open ur eyes, Taanz. It's me" D similar breathe-taking voice whispered. She flung batted her eyes. She gulped impeccably watching d person "Rey...........!" He daggered a killer smile which was about to sizzle her in his tempt. "What r u doing here?" She demanded. She crossed her look across his hand. He awkwardly loosened d grip. "Oh sorry about that" He apologized for horrifying her. She growled. "I came to give u this" He slipped his hand in pocket and brought out a glazing piece of an earring. Taani gaped viciously. It was her golden jewel she bejeweled her ear in d party. "It was stuck to my shirt in d party. I guess it was during kaleidoscope practice." He whispered huskily. She lowered her blush which went noticed by Rey. He smirked placing it in her hand. Her wet hairs scattered across her shoulders dripping a droplets on her face. He wiped it through his thumb sending butterflies in both of their stomachs.

Knock.....Knock..... There was someone on d door tapping it impatiently. Taani jerked Rey slightly. "U should go, now" She shrieked squinting across d door. "Well, ok." He said and opened d large window panel and stepped out. "GN, Taanz" He wished and disappeared in d dark.

Huhhhhhhh......Y can't I shut my eyes instead of watching my sister's private moments.

Taani opened d door. Ash was standing with a luscious smile. "What's up, sis? Were u busy chatting with Arjun?" She teased sitting on d bed cross-legged. "Auhhh...Nope." Taani shrugged. "Sis, were u just joking on d dining table, right?" She dug d previous closed topic. "Yeah...." Taani choked nearly in hesitation. "I knew it. For a second, I believed u. U know?" She smacked indignantly. "Well, let me get into d bed. It's already late night. Mom will kill me if I woke late in d morning." She hugged Taani bidding GN. Taani embraced back embarrassedly. It was nice to feel d sister effect. Then something Taani realized watching Ash. It was d neck chain she locked into her nape. It was d same chain with an exact pendent which was used in d video of Taanz murder. Taani couldn't believe it. She gasped in anxious. "DID ASH KILL TAANZ?"
