Demons are like dogs;
they come only when they are called.

Rivansh's POV

**Thud**

The loud crushing sound interrupted pakhi. We screamed and flinched. We turned to see the chandelier, massive glory of haveli which was hanging on the ceiling was now shattered on the floor at the exact same place where kaaya and I was standing few minutes ago.

The entire floor of the main hall was now covered with broken glass and little diamonds. I moved my gaze at kaaya and saw she was shivering badly. Aanya and riva were holding her from falling. I quickly went towards her. Honestly my legs were shaking too from the thought of being underneath the chandelier but I calmed myself.

''You okay?!'' I asked her and she gave a slight nod.

''Thank god the vase fell on pakhi's leg.'' rishabh said.

''WHAT!!" pakhi glared at him.

''Oh no not in that way. If they didn't came here hearing your scream then they would have been underneath that broken chandelier.'' rishabh said.

''Will you shut up!!'' I scolded him when kaaya shivered more.

''Achcha hua ki yeh vase gira varna isi jhoomar ke niche milti kaaya aur rivansh ki laash.'' aanya said.
(Thank god the vase fell otherwise rivansh and kaaya's dead body would have been underneath that chandelier.)

Om shanti om rizz.

''Aanya!! Don't speak such rubbish.'' mam said.

''Oh my god!! How did this happen?'' shreyas said, slowly coming in the main hall, followed by ramesh kaka and kaki.

They were standing a few feets apart from us.

''Tam sab thik to ho na?!'' kaki asked and we nodded.
(Are you guys alright?)

''Barso se yeh jhoomar yaha par latak raha hai isliye shayad zang lag gaya hoga. Zyada tension mat lijiye.'' sir said.
(It is constantly hanging for years so it must have been rusted. Don't worry too much.)

''Tam sab pehle maale pe chale jao, me sabka khana udhar hi bhijvati hu. Chhote malik aur memsaab aap bhi abhi ke liye upar ke kisi kamre me chale jao.'' kaki said.
(You all go on the first floor, I'll send your dinner there. Young master and madam, you should go there too for sometime.)

''Par yeh sab--'' ''Aap iski chinta koni karo, mai abhi kaamwaalo ko bulakar saaf karva leta hu, thodi der me pura hall saaf ho jaega.'' kaka said interrupting sir.
(But what about--, Don't worry about all this. I'll tell the workers to clean it. It'll be done in no time.)

''Thik hai fir aisa hi karte hai. Baccho left side vaale corridor pe zyada kaach nahi hai, wahi se dhire dhire apne kamro me jao.'' sir said and we did as he said.
(Let's do it then. There aren't many pieces of glass in the left corridor, so go to your rooms from there.)

We formed sort of a line and moved towards the staircase. Me, kaaya and aanya were the last ones in the line. We were about to ascend the stairs when a voice stopped us. Turning towards the voice, we saw shreyas standing there.

''Aap thik hai na kammo ji? Kahi kanch to nahi lagana aapko?'' he said, causing me and kaaya to give them an cocky smile.
(Are you alright kammo ji? You aren't hurt by the glass, right?)

''Mene kitni baar bola ki mera naam aanya hai kammo nahi.'' aanya said glaring at the poor guy who was concerned about her.
(How many times I've told you that my name is aanya, not kammo ji.)
