The rain poured relentlessly, drumming against the windshield of Raavi's car as she navigated the winding roads of Mumbai.Thoughts of her friends, laughing and carefree just hours ago, weighed heavily on her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong.

Pulling into her driveway, Raavi's heart sank as she noticed the flashing lights of police cars lining the street. Panic surged through her veins as she rushed out of the car, sprinting towards the chaotic scene unfolding before her.

"Raavi, wait!" a voice called out, but she didn't stop. She had to know what had happened to her friends.

Pushing past the crowd of onlookers, Raavi's breath caught in her throat as she saw the mangled wreckage of her friends' car. Tears blurred her vision as she stumbled towards the police officers, desperate for answers.

"What happened? Are they okay?" she pleaded, her voice trembling with fear.

The officer's grim expression told her everything she needed to know. "I'm sorry, Miss Raavi," he said gently. "There's been an accident. Your friends... they didn't make it."

The words hit her like a physical blow, sucking the air from her lungs as grief washed over her in waves. How could this have happened? Just hours ago, they had been laughing and joking, their futures stretching out before them like an open road.

But as Raavi struggled to come to terms with the tragic loss, a chill ran down her spine. The accident... it couldn't have been just an accident, could it?

Hours passed in a blur as Raavi sat in stunned silence, grappling with the overwhelming sense of loss and confusion. And then, as if in a daze, she found herself standing outside her front door, a small package clutched tightly in her trembling hands.

With shaking fingers, Raavi tore open the package, revealing the antiquated form of a Walkman nestled within. Confusion flickered across her features as she stared at the device, its faded buttons and worn cassette player seeming out of place in her modern world.

But as she pressed play and the haunting melody of an old song filled the air, Raavi felt a strange sense of calm wash over her. It was as if the music was speaking to her, whispering secrets that she couldn't quite grasp.

Little did she know, this Walkman held more than just music; it held the key to unlocking a mystery that would change her life forever.
