" Ranveer told us you need some time with your friends and not to disturb you. So we thought it's fine your wish. If we won't understand you then who will ?  Anyways I am really happy to see you back all good" when Ananya came back to Hooda mansion Ranveer's aunt was so happy.  She wasn't leaving her side and enquired about her health.

" When you came back Ranveer went missing. Renuka....    Where is Ranveer ? He didn't came back from hospital till now ?" Geetha asked to Ranveer's  about Ranveer.

" He told me he has some important meeting with some clients so he will be late. " Renuka replied.

" This was the biggest fear I ever had before the election. I already predicted he will become a workaholic once he became chairperson. Before it was only a doctor's job now it's .........I don't want to think much. Amaya.... Always get a hold on him otherwise one day he will make that hospital his house" Geetha advised Ananya.

"I will do my best aunty.... " Ananya somehow said it because telling a lie and that's looking at her face it's difficult

" Amaya..... You look so weak and tried my child. Is everything fine ? " Slowly stroking on her cheeks aunty enquired. Ananya passed a faint smile that's all.

"You go back to your room and sleep well. All this tiredness will vanish into thin air." Said Geetha and sent Ananya to Ranveer's room.

She made her bed on floor and laid back staring at the celing. Ananya felt so suffocated there and it never happened like this before. Huge room an empty king size bed, silence everywhere only an yellow light was at his study area. Ananya's heart churned thinking about what Ranveer might be doing at with Pooja at this time. Time is already past nine and he is still not here yet.

Ananya turned towards a side and cried silently biting her pillow not letting her sound come out.
Why she is crying ? Even she don't know.

Ananya grabbed her phone and looked at the message box. No one messaged her. Their group was also silent and it was dead from the day Vidya's issue came up.

Ananya closed her eyes to sleep somehow but that sudden darkness made her to see hallucinations. Same that fearful figure and bloody knife  coming towards her and Ananya didn't budge from her place. Ananya knows that she was going to die and that tapping sound of heels pierced into her ears which kept on continued.

" Amaya....." Ananya wake up from her nightmare and panickly looked around to make sure that it was only a dream but suddenly she felt like the closet door is opening automatically  and that same figure came out from closet.

Ananya panickly crawled towards a corner fearfully but she didn't utter a single word. It was like she became dumb suddenly. She threw the pillow and everything that came into her hand at that figure.

Suddenly he raised his blood stained hand and blood dripping knife to stab Ananya. She screamed in her top of lungs for help and started crying .

Hearing her voice Renuka and Ranveer's aunt came there running from living room.

" Amaya......" Geetha quickly went to her side but Ananya was not letting anyone to touch her and keep on yanking her hands. She was still hallucinating like whoever is coming towards her is trying to kill her.

'' Bhabhi..... "

" Please Stay back..... " Renuka pulled Geetha back .

" What's happening ? What happened to her  ? " Geetha asked panickly watching Ananya crying.

" I will handle her. Could you please go a take some water for her ? " Renuka asked with a pleading eyes.

" Yeah sure " Geetha quickly went down to take some water and meanwhile Renuka tried to control Ananya.
