As the car halted infront of the building, Meher frowned. Her vision was a bit blurry. The sunlight made her squint her eyes.

Meher- "Hum yaha kyun aaye hai bhabhi? Dr Sharma ke saath sessions toh shaam me hote hai. Aur Aaj toh session bhi nahi hai."

Sakshi- "I know baccha. Mujhe kuch personal kaam hai unse."

Meher-"Jo bhi ho,bhabhi! Mujhe nahi milna unse!"

Sakshi sighed- "Tu cabin ke bahar baith jaana . Abhi andar chal."

Meher shrugged and steeped down the car. She slightly swayed but Sakshi held her back. She carefully leaded her to the lift.

She pressed the button with the U sign.

Meher's eyelids felt heavy- "Hume toh...6th floor PE jaana hai. Underground kyun?"

Sakshi looked at Meher. She was leaning against her, her eyes already drooping. She gently tapped her face. They entered the underground basement.

Sakshi took in a deep breath. He heart pounded loudly. If won't be a lie to say that she was feeling scared. But she hardened her heart.

Sakshi- "Mehu, baccha aap uss room me jaake baitho. Mai Bela se milke aati hu."

Meher did what she was told. She didn't have it in her to protest or even think. She entered the room and walked for a good 10 second before she realised that it didn't look like a waiting room at all. It was dark and filled with stray stuff. Almost like a store room. The only source of light was the open door.

Sakshi looked at her retreating back. She was supposed to close the door but her hands refused to move. She could not let her child suffer like that. Before she could call out her name, Bela stepped in and closed the door. Sakshi let out a muffled sob.

Bela- "Sambhalo khud ko. You can't fall weak. This is just the beginning."

The duo walked over the monitoring room.

As the source of light was removed,Meher turned around startled. Darkness always overwhelmed her. 

Meher scared- "Bhabhi?" She felt like all the sleep and drowsiness had flew her eyes. Her heart dropped as she realised that she was all alone in the large room.

Sakshi and Bela were soon joined by the brothers. Arjun wrapped an arm around a restless Sakshi. He was as scared as her. They were in a monitoring room. The glass seperated them from the dark store room Meher was in. They could yet not see her due to the darkness but they could clearly hear her calling out Sakshi's name and colliding with things here and there.

Bela- "We'll start now." With that she pressed a switch and a small bulb lighted up. They could clearly see Meher now.

Meher was sitting in a corner crying silently as sobs shook her small frame. Her breathing hitched as the silence in the room started scaring her. She wished her bhaiya was here. He would take her in his embrace and protect her from everything.

At the room lightened up, Meher looked around scared. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw a man stepping out from behind the cupboard. The sound of thunder echoed throughout the room. Her vision blurred.She closed her eyes and then opened them again. The sight she saw was her worst nightmare.

Bela picked up the headphone- "Viraj. Side me Jo plastic ka rod rakha hai, uthao use."

Viraj adjusted the microphone and did as he was told. He took slow and measured step towards the mannequin lying on the floor.
