the monsters come out to play.

Shivangi's POV
6:30 P.M.

After having snacks on the way, we are now back at haveli.

"Guys, I want to show you my new vlog before uploading it." dhyey said as soon as we entered the hall.

"Yeah sure, but first let's get freshen up." keya said and we agreed to meet exactly after 15 minutes.

I was about to go in my room when rivansh and aanya stopped me.

"What happened?" I asked them.

"Mam, did you guys found any solution for our problem? What did the priest said?" rivansh asked impatiently.

"Ohh yeah he said...." and I told them the whole kalava thing. As soon as I finished, aanya's feet wobbled and she fell. Luckily we were fast enough to hold her in her place before anyone could notice.

"Ma-mam is s-she seriously in ev-evil influence?" aanya asked after minutes of holding herself.

I didn't had the courage to utter any word so I just nodded slightly. A fresh batch of tears escaped her eyes, and I took her in my embrace to console her. I looked at rivansh when I didn't hear him say anything, but he was in his own world.

I placed my hand on his shoulder but he left without uttering a single word from his mouth.

"Aanya I think you should also go to your room now otherwise they'll get suspicious." I said to aanya, stroking her hair and she nodded getting out of my hold.

"Be strong. And you know, that abhi doesn't like to see his student in any type of stress. He'll surely find a way, don't worry." I said and she went upstairs.

"Abhi, please find a way." I muttered, looking at aanya's retreating figure.

Kaaya's POV

"Hey where did you go?" I asked as soon as I saw aanya entering the room.

"I was talking with keya. I wanted to post a pic on insta but all my photos are in her mobile." she said.

"Tumhe to itni jaldi hai photo post karneki ki jaise kal hone hi na wali ho." I said with a chuckle, folding my clothes.
(Why so hurry, you are behaving like we aren't able to witness the sunrise anymore.)

"KAAYA.....don't speak like that." she said sternly.

"Ohk ohk...why are you getting angry, I was just joking." I said with a chuckle.

"Even when you're joking, you aren't allowed to speak rubbish like that." she said, looking straight in my eyes.

"Okay ma'am." I said, lifting my hands in the air like surrendering.

"Quickly freshen up, everyone will be gathering downstairs in sometime." I said and she went in the washroom.

Keya's POV
6:55 P.M.

We all are in the hall, where dhyey was setting up his laptop to watch the vlog. It was like behind the scenes of the music video shooting. Well it was fun watching the video with the funny captions he added.

"Gotta agree, you're very good with editing dhyey." kaaya said as soon as the video ended.

"Chhoti malkin" kaki called ma'am, coming out of the kitchen.
(Madame)

"Kya hua kaki?" ma'am asked.
(What happened aunty?)

"Woh gas ka cylinder khatam ho gaya hai toh khana banane me thodi der ho jaegi. Maine cylinder mangvaya hai, par haveli thodi andar ki side haina to aane me der lagegi." kaki said nervously.
