Never Ever

Chapter 25

The Palace was covered with enchanted flowers and decorative pieces, making the front porch ready for receiving the guest. The different attractions of the Palace known for their magnificent architecture like the colorful peacock windows, Crystal Palace i.e the Hall of mirrors, and the temple has been decorated.

Today,most of the relatives will arrive, so it's going to be a long day.Taking out the
traditional lime color ghaghra choli, I got ready for the Ganpati Spthapana.

Everyone was already present at the court yard,I went and sat beside Bhabhi. The priest started worshipping the deity with Ranveer and Mom Dad performing the Puja.

I haven't seen Bhai since yesterday, and still he is not here.

"Where's Bhai? "

"He is busy with guest arriving at the resort."

Looking around I found Dadi Sa busy meeting with the guest when I saw Eva aunty and Sakshi aunty arriving with Unnati,raising on my feet I went up to them.

"Khamma Ghani",folding my hands I greet them.

"Ghani Khamma", both of them said.

"You are looking beautiful in this dress", Eva aunty said.

" I agree", Sakshi aunty said.

"Thank you, but not as beautiful as you two", I said.

After talking with them for sometime, they joined the guest sitting in the courtyard leaving me with Unnati.

"I got to know about your stunt", she whispered in my ear.

"You have no idea how much drama happened after that, I'm not allowed to leave the Palace."

"It's for your safety."

After the Puja was done, everybody got busy on their own.Me and Unnati went to the corridor at first floor, from here the courtyard can be seen.Settling ourselves in the couch kept on the corridor, I filled her in about the secret passage incident.

"Dont you think it's scary, someone comes at the passage to keep his eyes on you."

"I want to know why he was coming here and from where? "

"The stalker made you find about his presence, knowing that you will open the door,check the passage and you will find the box."

"Yeah, there must e something more. I have to check the passage", raising on my feet I looked at her for help.

"No, you are not going to do that. What if anyone asks me about you,what will I say?"

"Use your brain sometimes. "

"Don't you think that passage is sealed now, knowing about the recent incidence."

"I know how to get inside. "

"Will you be okay going there alone? "

"Don't worry about me. "

Assuring her about my safety I went towards the backyard, there are some guards around the secret door.They will not let me go inside, as per Granny's order.

I quietly dropped my one earring on the grass and started looking for it.Searching around I went near the door, looking me worried they asked me what's bothering? I told them I lost my earring, and they started searching.I told them to look around the garden area, making them little away from the door.

When they were far away from the door I swiftly went inside the passage.Even in daylight, the passage was covered with darkness. Turning on the torch, I looked around searching for any lead.
