Devesh asks innocently ," Why?"

Rasika acts like thinking,  "Hmm may be your kinda gentle nature."

Devesh looks down and smiles .

Rasika asks with narrowed eyes , "What happened? Aren't you a gentleman?"

Devesh with smirking smile says , "Yeah yeah I am ."

The living room buzzes with the vibrant symphony of laughter and lively chatter from the four siblings and their friends.

Again , the topic raises up of the house tour listening to which Devesh thinks that since parents are not home and who will check the cctvs time to time so he agrees to give a tour to his friends.

The four siblings and their friends start the tour of the house. After visiting few places , Kiara's eyes fall on a locked room at the end of the hall . The room has seven locks and a smart lock of password.

Nitya notices Kiara standing and wondering the locked room , she hurriedly runs to her.

When Nitya keeps her hand on the shoulder of Kiara , her world of thinking ended and she looks up at Nitya exclaiming ," What's behind this door?"

Nitya with a disturbed face , looking at the door locks says ," I don't know , from the birth till now I have seen this room to be locked."

Kiara asks with curiosity, " Have you ever tried to open it?"

Nitya answers with more curious manner ," No but I have asked my brothers about it but none replies, either they avoid the topic or else they say that it is restricted to even touch the door which Mom and Dad has strictly said."

At that time Sakhi realizes that Nitya and Kiara are not in the group , she looks here and there for few minutes and finds that they are standing infront of an old locked door and talking about something.

Sakhi quietly leaves the group and joins Nitya and Kiara , " Hey ! What are you two doing here?"

Kiara says everything to Sakhi and Sakhi looks at the door carefully, saying , "We can try to open by the smart lock first."

Nitya worriedly says , " I don't think its a good idea . Lets check other rooms."

Kiara with excitement, " Oh Come on ! One time try !!"

Nitya with fear in her voice, " See if there something happens you will not be scolded but the whole lecture will come on my shoulders ! Let's end this topic and go back to our crowd!"

Sakhi said with curiosity, " Do you have the key to all these 7 locks?"

Nitya shaking her head to "No".

Sakhi sighs ," Well how can we open the door then?"

Kiara looking towards the locks and about to touch one of the locks then Hritesh arrives from no where and stops the hand of Kiara from touching. " You came to a person's house , you should maintain the rules and regulations of that house. "

Kiara freeing her wrist , " But rules are meant to be broken."

Hritesh with a serious , dead look, " Not at least in this house."

Reyansh from the other end of the hall gives a shout , " Arreh Comee here, where are you four lost in conversations?!"

Hritesh shouts back , " Coming Bro !!"

Saying this Hritesh takes the girls away from that mysterious door but the words of Kiara creates a mark in the mind of Nitya , her eyes are locked on that door with thousands of unanswered questions in her head.

Later that night

Nitya couldn't sleep because of her overthinking mind , the AC of her room is on still she is sweating .

"I should drink more water" , Nitya looks for her water bottle at the side table which is empty already. " Oh God , it has to be empty at this time only , how much water I was drinking since few hours. I have to refill it ."

Saying this Nitya gets up , switching off AC , takes her bottle and phone and leaves the room , the whole hall way is covered with deep silence and darkness , there's no sound , a cold shivering runs down the spine of Nitya when she realizes that at the end of the same hall is that door.

Since Nobody is around, Nitya switches on flashlight of her phone. She slowly moves towards the door , when the flash light falls on the door, she scrutinize the door , looking every locks . She notices 7 locks have seven different patterns and the door looks quiet old and worn out while every other door of the house is well furnished.

The smart lock has 6 digit number lock . And with more concern she notices that thin lines of lazers are passing across the door , upside down , if one tries to touch any lock or door , her or his hand with touch the sensor and may be alarms will ring .

Suddenly Nitya's heartbeats stop for a second when she feels deep heavy breathes on her shoulder, before she screams that person shut down her mouth with his Hands , "Shhh shhhh don't scream Night beauty.Keep it calm."
