At Night

Kashish is searching web from past 3 hours finding all essential resources and evidence for 'Professor Shrikant and missing team case'. She got some articles in her side but that is not enough to prove them wrong. "Stop searching girl, its already past 12 please go to sleep." Aaradhya said while seizing laptop from Kashish. Kashish made a mad face at Aaradhya and they both dozed off.

"I woke up with full determination to find new evidence regarding to debate, I want to make Satranga and Tyagi shut their mouth. I must go library for more information." Said Kashish

"Stop your madness girl, it's just an argument and please stop being stubborn, from last night you are making my head ache." Said Aaradhya while applying lipstick. Kashish gave her a dead stare while wearing her shoes.

(Outfit check: Kashish is wearing short white kurta paired with denim bagged jeans and white sneaker, hairs tied in messy bun.)

"You are coming with me to the library!" Stated Kashish, Aaradhya nodded her head in yes.

At Library

"Library is so empty at these hours" said Aaradhya looking at the library.

"Let's get into historical and article section and find clues." Said Kashish. Aaradhya followed Kashish, Aaradhya was searching in books and shelfs while Kashish is accessing library's documents and article of past 20 years from online library.

"Aaru looks what I found, come here!" said Kashish while pointing towards screen, Aaradhya put book back to the shelf and came near screen and read the article.

A person near Nigiri caves is bite by a snake and snakes' venom is very rare that cannot be cure. The person died in few hours!

Nigiri caves are most suspicious and mysterious place of Kashi! A team of 5 friends went to caves for adventure trip, and no one of them seen again till date.

Professor Shrikant and team disappeared in Nigiri caves!

Nigiri caves are said to be cursed cave in Kashi.

"These all news are related to one place only Aaru, maybe a scandal or something is going over there just to cover and spread fear and terror they spread rumours of cursed, poisonous etc... maybe Professor Shrikant was murdered?" concluded Kashish, Aaradhya nodded her head in yes.

They gathered all copies and take prints.

"Aaru to dig deeper we need to go to Allahabad central Library" said Kashish while sitting on chair and taking out her books for studying.

Aaradhya did not response to Kashish, as she was lost in thoughts of Abhya as it is same place where they both sit-

'Aaru see this problem is not that tough, you didn't try it' said Abhya while solving a Calculus problem, 'Who said problem was tough, I want to understand it from you baby.' Said Aaradhya while looking at him, 'Aaru shhh, we are sitting in library, people are studying and you are flirting with me shamelessly' said Abhya while blushing.

'I love you Abhya, I can flirt with you anywhere, anytime it's my right.' Said Aaradhya while looking into Abhya's eyes. 'Aaru stop, control your hormones!' Said Abhya while looking here and there, and slowly kissed Aaradhya on her cheeks. 'Aee you lovely dovey couple, no kisses allowed here, go get a room!' scolded librarian. They both laughed.

"AARU, AARU..." Shouted Kashish, Aaradhya came out of trance, and said "Sorry Kashish, where were we?"

"Nothing, you should move on Aaradhya, Abhya is never coming back. You have a whole life ahead, you know Tyagi likes you very much, give him a chance." said Kashish while writing down notes, 

"I cannot share Abhya's place to someone else, I loved him, and still loving him. I do not need Tyagi or anyone else in my life, I will cherish Abhyas's memories, I can live with his memories." Said Aaradhya, a big tear falls from her eyes.

"Ohk, it's your decision, but Tyagi is a good guy!" said Kashish with a pause. Aaradhya ignores her, and open her journal and start writing notes.

They both sat there for next three hours, studying their respective subjects.

At 5 AM Shiv went to Banaras ghat for bath, his muscular body drenched in water, revelling his every feature, every detail with rudrash mala in his neck.

He performed his early ritual and went to Mahadev Temple and offered his prayer, did abhisheka of lord Mahadev and meditate there for an hour.

Later he stood near a beautifully carved pillar, and said some words inaudibly. (Temple is closed at that time) after reciting words he touched the pillar; Pillar opened a door to basement. Shiv took stairs to basement.
