She stops filling water while closing the lid and goes towards the direction of the sound

She comes in living hall where were pitch black darkness..

Gauri's thought: this is scary

She sees an open room where dims light were glowing..

Gauri's thought: what's happening there..

She was about to go when she trips over something in dark and was about to fall when a pair of hands caught her..

Neel: what gauri?

Gauri: that room...it was open and lights were on..I swear I saw just now-

He cups her face which makes gauri's cheeks flare..

Neel: gauri...that room is closed from many years..it have only scraps and unwanted materials.. ain't no way you could have saw anything..

He leaves her face and Gauri replies

Gauri: but sir I'm sure...my eyes weren't deceiving me..

Neel: then where's the light? Why it's not opened..

She becomes confused and Neel speaks

Neel: I think you are still sleepy.. anyways why did you came here..

Gauri: oh the jug was empty and I was feeling thirsty...

She was about to go when she heard another crackling sound while neel's eyes goes wide..

Gauri: did you also heard that?

Neel: heard what??

Neel: what sound..I heard nothing..

He tried to dodge her question and gauri speaks

Gauri: oh...I thought I heard something...back then few minutes ago too, I heard something like this..

Neel: you must be confused...

Gauri: I doubt that..she was about to turn again when Neel stopped her

Neel: stop..

Gauri: you will?

Neel: of course...you should go back to sleep

Gauri: okay then...good night

Neel: good night

And with that she leaves the place while leaving Neel behind..

He sighs in relief but soon his face turns dark. Two people appears in front of him while holding a person who was badly beaten and all bruised up

Neel: how many times I told you all to do your work silently..

???: I'm sorry sir but this brat was wiggling too much..we have to make him silent anyhow
