The Mystery [UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

KAIRA POV

I am bemused, flummoxed, befuddled, squeamish and I don't understand how to express myself, I don't know what to say. I am looking at the person whom I never wants to see in my life even if he is the last person on this earth.

Yeah, I am infront of King Sooraj Pratap Singh Rathore. The person who is haunting me from the day one since I entered this mansion and now he is the same person with whom I collided with.

Great Kaira, you bumped with none other than a ghost.

What should I do now? Is their any way to get out of this situation?

I looked at him. He is still staring at me.

What's his problem?

Why he is here?

"Stay away from him." He mumbled while coming forward.

"Sorry.... What did you just said?"

"I said stay away from him." He  said those same words again while coming more forward towards me. I am still dumbfounded. To whom does he referring to?

"The person who came with you." He said while clearing my confusion.

Oh I think he's talking about Neil. But why should I stay away from him? I thought.

"And why would I listen to you?"

"You will listen otherwise you will see the consequences of not listening to me."

"What you will..."

I was about to say what he will do if I don't listen to him when......

"Kaira"

A familiar voice called me.

I looked at the door. I can see Neil standing at the door. Did he saw me with him? I looked around and found that there is no one. Where is he? Just now he was here. Did he dissapeared?

''What happened Kaira?'' Neil asked me.

I guess he didn't see him. And how will he see him, Kaira? Don't forget that he is a ghost and only you can see him. I should try to act normal as if nothing happened.

''Kaira, What happened? You looked worried.'' He entered the kitchen and asked. He looked at me worriedly.

''Nothing. There is no need to worry. I had made coffee for you.'' And just then I was about to give him a coffee cup, I got an unknown call.

''Hello''

''Hello, is this Ms. Kaira Mehra speaking?''

''Yes. I am Kaira speaking.''

''Ma'am, I am from City Hospital. Your brother Mr. Karan Mehra met with an accident and had been admitted in City Hospital.''

Those words were like poison which was killing me inside. The phone slipped from my hand and I was about to lose my balance when two hands held me.

''What happened Kaira?''

I am speechless. I wanted to shout. I wanted to cry. Neil's hands were still holding me.

''Ne...Neil, Karan... Ka...Karan.''

''What Karan, Kaira? What happened to him?''

I wanted to tell him, but my voice was not coming out from my mouth.

''Speak up Kaira. Is Karan fine?'' Neil shouted, looking at my terrible expression.

I stayed tight-lipped and shook my head.
