SHANIWAAR WADA

chapter 8

wow what a story, don’t dare to fool us we are going in’ vaneet said with anger.
Although I didn’t want but I had to enter the mansion. For which I am guilty.
‘ so beautiful’ rashi said.
At first we went to the roof , they were enjoying the view but I was concerned only about where the lady and those two men had disappeared. ‘there’s still time, we should leave I think something Is wrong here’. ‘ oh come on gitanjali do you believe that lady’ vaneet said.
After roaming in the whole mansion we went to the library the only place left to visit. Suddenly I saw a book which fell from the shelf. I picked it up and was shocked to see the same letter about which the caretaker had told about. ‘I told you guys, that women was correct see have a look at this letter this is the same letter the letter written to sumer singh by rao.’
‘o god, we should evacuate this place as soon as possible’ Abhi said.
Yes , you are right vini and rashi spoke.
We threw the letter and ran towards the entrance and we were shocked to see that there was no entrance. So we decided to get divided into groups I and vaneet ; rashi,vini and Abhi . we checked each and every corner but we counldn’t find any exit. We all gathered in the hall and held each others hand tightly. Suddenly I saw Abhi staring at the ceiling. So I thought to ask him what was he upto. But he didn’t answer. I felt a bit weird so i  raised my head and the scene which I saw was appalling. It was none other than narayan rao tied to the lamp. I knew how he looked as when I had entered I saw a portrait of him. Simultaneously my eyes fell on the portrait and my jaw dropped to the floor it was all blank. My friends started stammering. ‘what should we do gitanjali’ Abhi asked. ‘run’.
Vaneet stopped us and said ‘don’t you dare’ I was completely puzzled until I saw his eyes they were pitch black.
‘ no this can’t happen’ rashi uttered.
‘It has’  his voice had changed. ‘ what do you want just leave us we haven’t done anything to you, right?’ I said.
‘ you have,  you have done a big mistake by coming here. You all will have to die.’
‘ please spare us, we’ll do whatever you want. Just leave vaneet.’ rashi said crying.
‘ fine then, you know what you have to do. isn’t it Gitanjali Rao? Meet you on the day of Amavasya. Till that vaneet will stay here as a guarantee of your return.’
My friends were completely shocked. They had a lot of questions but weren’t able to ask. Even I wasn’t able to answer any of them neither I wanted to. Suddenly the door opened and we moved out. We reached the hotel in 5 minutes no one uttered even a single word. After reaching our room I thought to break the silence. ‘I am sorry guys, It’s all my fault, I should have told you about it’
‘yes, you should have but it’s not the time to regret we need to find a solution, don’t forgot tomorrow is amavasya’ Vini said.
‘ what do we have to do?’ Rashi asked.
‘ we need to find his dead body, which must be in the well and burn it.’ I said.
‘ isn’t that very risky’ abhi asked.
‘ yes it is even we can die in the attempt’
‘ but we’ll have to do it anyhow, and for that we need to consult that old women.’ Vini said.
‘ yes you are right, tomorrow morning we’ll go there again’ I said.
