Mayra's PoV:

I arrived at the bungalow at 8:00 p.m. With unsteady steps, I entered the bungalow only to find it locked from the inside. This puzzled me as there was no one at home.

I approached the bodyguard and asked about the situation.

To my surprise, he informed me that Parth, my uncle and aunt's son, was inside. This was unexpected as Parth rarely visited and had little contact with the family. Why hadn't he attended the funeral?

I rang the doorbell and it was opened by a tall, robust man – Parth. It was my first time meeting him.

"Mayra, did i guess right?" He asked. I noticed a slight smirk on his face. "Yes, and you-", before i could say i was inturruped by him.

"Parth, i guess you know me." He said with a smile. Why the fuck is he smiling? He has lost his parents and it seems like he does not have any grief. I don't know, but I'm finding him a bit more strange, as i heard him before. I nodded to him.

"Why didn't you come to the-" I was going to ask, but he said in midway "Come inside, first.", while giving me a large amount of space. I entered inside and sat on the couch, at the hall.

"I know what you want to ask. I could not come to the funeral, because my flight reached at 6 p.m. and it got too late, there was no flight before this time.." He said, lowering his head. I could see a little amount of his emotions flickering  out.

"But, you didn't go to the hospital to check on your sister. Why?" I asked him, confusingly.

"Mayra, i think i need some rest, I'm not in a condition to answer your questions. I hope you understand." He said, in a low and sad voice.

Oh no! I am unnecessarily doubting him and asking him questions. I know he must be too much depressed. He needs rest.

"I'm sorry Parth, i didn't mean that...sorry!"

"It's okay Mayra, you can go to your room." He said this and left from there. Why was i asking all this to him? I'm an idiot! Quickly, i also left from there and went directly to my room.

***

It was almost 11 p.m., and the room was cloaked in darkness, with only the faint glow of the moon seeping through the curtains. I lay in bed, my mind restless and unable to find peace.

I had talked with uncle Ved and aunt Zia on call a few minutes ago, and they assured me that everything will be alright.

But my mind cannot take everything at once. The encounter with Rian had left me feeling disappointed and hurt. His harsh words replayed in my mind, causing a surge of emotions to well up within me.
