【Author{frustrated} : This is my story and nobody is killing anybody. Is that clear?
{Not even a single character reply back}
Author{huff} : Now-a-days, no one listens to me.】

Hoor was banging the door with her full strength. Annu was looking for any thing which can help them in opening the door.
Hoor{crying} : Annu please do something.
Annu : Di stop crying, nothing will happen to them.
Both of them together try to open the door and it opens. They rush out and find Haider with the kids descending the stairs. Hoor take a breath of relief by seeing them safe. Shehry/Zubi run to their mother and narrate the things that took place with them.
Flashback :-
Shehry was sitting on a couch folding his legs to his chest and placing his head on his knees. There was a large mirror infront of him. He hear a chuckle so, he raise his head to see.
He get terrified after looking at his reflection in the mirror which was smiling and looking at him. He wanted to scream but his voice was stuck in his throat. He then feel a hand on his shoulder because of which he get startled.
When he look up at the person whose hand was on his shoulder, he gets relieved as it was Zubi.
Zubi : Bro, Why do you look scared?
Shehry : That...{Now when he see towards the mirror everything seem fine}
Zubi : Come with me.
Shehry : Where?
He was about to walk with her, when he hear that someone is climbing the stairs. He wait to see who is it? And the unimaginable happens which was, that Zubi was climbing the stairs with icecream's in her hand.
Shehry was petrified would be an understatement, when he very slowly turned his face to see the fake Zubi. No one was present there. Zubi walk to him and give him the icecream. He hold her hand and take her with him to Haider who was resting in the room.
###
Shehry tell Haider about the whole incident. Haider console the innocent souls and ask them to follow him. As they were about to open the door of the room, they hear footsteps. Haider take the kids and hide behind headboard of the bed. Maha enter the room.
Maha : Haider....., Zubi..... come out from wherever you are hiding, I know you all are here. Shehry baby....... I'll not hurt you.
She look through the room but find no clue. She then quietly head towards the headboard of the bed and see behind it but find no one.
Haider was smart enough to change their position at the last moment under the bed. Haider can see Maha's foots at the right side of the bed, he get worried as Zubi's frock was lying out. Which Maha can easily see if she look down, so he very quietly try to pull it.
But in this process Maha step on his fingers and he place his other hand on his mouth to not let his yelp come out. Maha leaves the room, Haider and the kids crawl out of the bed and take a deep breath.
Haider's POV :
While we were overcoming the situation, suddenly Maha di returned back and grabbed Zubi by her hair. Zubi was whimpering in pain, Maha di was constantly asking Shehry to come beside her.
I didn't know what took over me that I picked the flower pot from the side table and hit it on Maha di's forehead.
Flashback ends.
Hoor : What???
Annu : Where is she?
【Author : WHAT??!!!
Reader : Why are you shocked? You are the author right?
Author{dejected} : I'm the author, but my characters improvise their scenes on their own.】
Haider and kids take Hoor/Annu in the middle of the hall. The trio inform them that Maha is unconscious in the room. Hoor ask them to stay here with Annu and she will go and see Maha.
Hoor climb the stairs with all the courage which was left in her. She reach the room and enter inside the room. She find Maha lying on the floor and some blood on her forehead, her heart was pounding in her chest as if it will bounce out any moment. Hoor walk near Maha and shake her.
Hoor : Ma..Ma..Maha.
Maha wake up after 2min and first thing she does is place her hand on forehead and moan in pain.
Maha : Di, What's going on? What am I doing here? I was in that room...
Hoor : Which room?
Maha tell about the flashback which is mentioned in part2. Hoor hug her sister tightly and tell her "she is so happy to get her back." Maha was confused by this statement.
Both of them come down to the hall where others were waiting for them. Hoor inform them that Maha is now all okay. All of them have a group hug.
All of a sudden Maha starts to laugh loudly followed by Haider, then Shehry and lastly Zubi. They were laughing continuously and by watching this Hoor/Annu were confused.

Is Maha really not possessed now?
Why do you think they all were laughing?
