They ran to the direction from which the scream came'..it was from a room at the far end of the same floor''They forgot all that happened just moments ago and behaved as true professionals''as sincere dedicated ETF officers'..
Already some of the guests in the same floor and the manager were crowding in and out of the room and all were spinning tales of their own'.
Arjun: [he pushed the people aside and went in] hattiye hattiye'..'..[Riya followed him soon]
A girl in her early twenties stood there in a shocked state and a guy who appeared to be her husband or boyfriend was consoling and comforting her''
Arjun: kya hua?? Aap chillaayi kyun???? [when they were hesitant and wondering who this guy was to ask all this so authoritatively, he added] dekhiye hum dono ETF officers hai aur aapke help karna chahthe hai'..
Riya took on "haan boliye madam, kya hua tha?? Aap itni darri hui kyun hai??
The girl raised her head and spoke up in a cracked up trembling voice'she was shaking with fear even now "woh'.wahaan ek bhoot ko dekha'." [she said pointing to the balcony]
Arjun smirked "bhoot!!, not again" [he remembered his last encounter with the bhoot at the haunted fort and glanced sarcastically at Riya who looked away seeing his glance]
Arjun continued "dekhiye, bhoot voot kuch nahi hota'.sab kuch aapka mann ka vehen hai'..ab jaakhe so jaahiye'."
Girl retorted angrily "main keh rahi hoom na?? wahaan koyi tha'.shayad koyi ladki'.mera matlab koyi ladki ki bhoot''.
[Arjun gets the torch from the manager and goes to the balcony to scan it well for any hints'.He didn't get any and there didn't appear any direct way to approach the balcony''so he couldn't get a lead to show that someone came from outside to scare the girl but bhoot'..he couldn't accept that too'..there was a tree and may be the person came up through that''it had remote chances but couldn't push off that possibility'..]
Arjun: [as if to Riya but not looking at her directly] wahaan kuch nahi hai''aur na hi kisi ka aane ka direct raasta!! Shaayad kuch shadow ya aisa kuch dekh ke darr gayi hogi'..
Riya who in the mean time had explored more into it was quick to reply back "No sir'..shadow toh nahi ho sakthi''kyun ki shadows aise scratch marks toh nahi de sakthe na??? [she showed the girl's left hand to him'..it had long marks of long finger nails as if somebody tried to grab her and in the process scratched her''it was blood shot and red in color'..she had sharp burning pain too]
Arjun: hmmm tab koyi zaroor tha'[he disperses the crowd first] dekhiye aap sab apne apne rooms mein jaayiye'..aur koyi bhi baahar nahi aayega'..subah tak kisi keliye bhi darwaaza nahi kholiyega'.just remain safe in the room''balcony doors, windows sab shut rakhiyega''[All were hushing and murmering something'..they leave when Arjun again stresses to go] ab plzz jaldi jaahiye''aur maine jo bhi kahaa usse strictly follow keejiye''
[All leave'']
Arjun: [turning to the couple] aap bhi door lock karke so jaayiye'..darr ne ki zaroorath nahi'..[couple nods'..Arjun, RIya and the manager step out of the room]
Once outside, Arjun turns to the manager first, " yahaan aise kabhi pehle bhi hua hai kya??? Mera matlab koyi aur guest aise complaints ya aisa kuch ajeeb???"
Manager: aisa tho kuch nahi'parr haan iss locality mein kuch rumors hai ke yahaan bhoot hai '.par aaj tak maine kisi bhoot ko nahi dekha''.[he laughed'.Arjun glared at his untimely laugh]
Arjun: teek hai'..aap bhi jaahiye'.subah baat karthe hai'.
Manager walks away and then turns back "sir, waise aap dono pati patni ho? Ya ETF officers ho???
