The Mystery [UNDER MAJOR EDITING]

18

KAIRA POV

We reached to Mr. Singh's office. I had already called him and I informed him that I'll be coming. Fortunately, he didn't ask me the reason behind the meeting. I asked him if he is free during his office hours and gladly he was. And here we are sitting in his office. The motive to meet him was simple; I need to ask him who were the other people stayed in the mansion before us. The mystery revolving around the mansion will not let me live peacefully.

Mr. Singh runs an agency which helps people to get house, flat or mansion to reside. I heard that he is incharge of all formalities of the mansion. Being royal, the mansion is actually under government, but the responsibility of handling every possible activities of the mansion is given to Mr. Singh's agency by the government.

"So why do you wanted to meet me, Ms. Mehra?" Mr. Singh who was busy for a while, doing some work on his labtop asked as soon he finishes.

I looked at Neil who was sitting besides me and replied looking forward at Mr. Singh, "Actually I wanted to ask you about the mansion in which we are staying." His eyes widen and he drank the water in the glass placed nearby to him on the table.

"I am not suprised for you being here, puttar. Many people visited me, some wanted to know about mansion, some wanted to sell it back and unfortunately some didn't even got chance to leave it." I didn't understand what he said in the beginning, but when I understood I gasped.

Mr. Singh didn't speak more and came straight to the point,"So what do you exactly wanted to know about the mansion?"

"We wanted to know who resided before Kaira?" This time it was Neil who asked.

Mr.Singh glared at him and turned towards me.
"He's my friend, Neil Khanna." I cleared his confusion.

"I have recorded the list of people who lived in this mansion. Let me show you." He said and got up from his chair. He moved behind us towards the cupboard and took a diary from it. He opened the diary and placed it infront of us and said,

"These are the names of people who sojourned in the mansion. They are very few since the mansion is haunted, no one dared to buy it."

"If you knew the mansion being haunted. How did you sell it to us?" I asked, actually no I shouted. I was infuriated. How could he do this to us?

"Puttar" He said and sat on his chair and continued, "I had already told Mr. Mehra about the mansion. He said that it's a rumour and he don't believe in this. I warned him but he was adamant to buy it."

"I can understand Mr. Singh. I apologize for my behaviour and I guess you did your best." I replied. I felt guilty because I knew he is not at fault. Karan bought the mansion despite of knowing the fact that the mansion is haunted. I looked at the diary and started reading the names. There were five names.

"The first name is Mr. Samar Sinha." I said.

Mr. Singh continued, "Yeah, Mr. Sinha bought it for his wife. He loved his wife so much and presented her the mansion as a gift. Everyone was going well until...."

"Until....????" Neil posed.

"Until they start experiencing horrible things around them. No one knows what exactly happened, but Mrs. Sinha found dead in the mansion. It is still not revealed how she died. Mr. Sinha lost his mental balance and was sent to the asylum. It was dreadful for him to cope up with the loss of his wife." Mr. Singh explained sadly.

"That's sad." Neil expressed.

"The second name is Mr. Rakesh Agnihotri.", I read from the diary.
