'So what, ghosts can't hurt you.'
That's what I thought then.

Kaavi's POV
9:20 A.M.

I am in my room, getting ready for the temple visit when a thought crossed my mind. Aanya is behaving very weird today, like she is in a puzzle or something and on the other hand, kaaya was looking damn exhausted, her eyes were red and puffy like she cried for the whole night.

I even asked her if something like that happened or not, but she refused to tell. I was lost in my thoughts when someone knocked on the door.

Putting a pause to my thoughts, I went to fetch the door, only to see parthiv standing there.

"What? Why are you here?" I asked.

"Good morning to you too." he said with his infamous smirky smile.

"Let me repeat my question for you Mr.deaf, I asked, why are you here?" I said getting annoyed.

"Why so feisty in the morning itself when you should be calm." he said raising his right brow.

"And again that's not the answer to my question." I said getting done.

"Why are you so annoyed in the morning?! I'm just trying to build a good mood and here you are making it worse." he said whining.

"Worse? Who ruined your day before me?" I asked and he looked at me, being done.

"Rivansh. He was continuously twisting and turning the whole night and even kept the night lamp on." he said massaging his temple.

"Whatever, now tell me why are you here?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, you forgot your scarf in my bag." he said taking out my scarf from behind his back.

"When did I give you this scarf?" I asked being confused.

"Looks like you have memory of a goldfish. Did you forget your "punishment"?" parthiv said and I remembered that I gave it to him to hold, when we went shopping.

"Oh yeah...thank you, you can go now." I said closing the door when he placed his foot in between the door frame.

"What now?!" I said getting irritated.

"What's the hurry, miss feisty? Won't you invite me in your room?" he asked, with that vicious smirk lurking on his face.

"Let me remind you, Mr.Dumb, that you aren't my boyfriend to be allowed in my room." I said gritting my teeth.

"Wait a minute, you're smelling nice. Which perfume do you use?" He asked.

"Don't change the topic." I said.

"I'm not changing the topic, I'm starting a topic." he said and suddenly barged in my room, going towards my vanity.

"Hey where are you going?! Stop right there parthiv." I shouted and in all this chaos, a particular thing left my mind, the broken lock of the door.

"Do you use this perfume?" he asked, holding up kaaya's perfume.

"No it is of kaaya." I said.

"Then you must be using this one." he said showing me another perfume, which belonged to aanya.

"No it is of aanya." I said, irritation curling up in my nerves.

"Then show me the one you use." he said.

"But why do you want my perfume?!" I said whining with anger.

"Because you smell like heaven." he said, coming closer. Our feet almost touching.
