CLESTA APARTMENTS

The silence of night haunted the souls, moonlight ruled the night sky bringing hope to a shattered soul

The whole apartment was in dead drop silence except the sounds of dogs howling and occasional vehicles travelling on the road. The atmosphere fell serious aftermath the phone call. Everyone fell into deep thoughts causing eerie silence ,unable to figure out if it was a threat or should it be simply ignored.

There was one soul that was petrified with a call and it was Aarna, many negative thoughts surrounded her mind hot tears rushed out of her eyes remembering a past incident ,her cry broke everyone's reverie and everyone focused on consoling her , she cursed herself to fall weak in the very initial step, for a girl so reserved letting her guard down lead to rise of plethora of emotions 

"I am fine guys , thank you" replied Aarna 

None seem convinced but they were unable to figure out what caused her to react like this. Ishaan suggested to spend the night in a single room this suggestion was unanimously agreed on.Girls settled on the bed while the "Gentlemen" respectively occupied the place on the floor without any complaints .The night continued long before everyone finally succumbed to sleep . 

..

 "Looks like we hit the right cord " thought a person and at the same time felt bad for various reasons but remained contended on the accomplishment of a baby step towards the mission

The sun rays sneakily entered the room to find all the four fast asleep . Shivaay being the early riser easily gave in to the light of the sun rays and shot his eyes open and lazily turned his head other side that's when his half sleepy eyes opened completely to witness Ishaan lifting Aarna from the floor and placing her on the bed and covering her with comforter when he turned around Shivaay had closed his eyes pretending to sleep and he went back to sleep on the floor 

Shivaay POV:

What did i just witness ? what might have happened , he was unable to comprehend it . He finally settled with the thought of asking Ishaan later, he proceeded to complete his morning chores in another room . When he finally came back he saw Anika sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes to which he smirked on forming a plan in his mind 

Shivaay was standing outside the room all set with his weapons to take his enemy down by surprise but he was taken by surprise to witness  Ishaan being the victim of his attack and Anika coming out of the room laughing hysterically .

Ishaan: Care to explain Mr Shivaay the reason why I was honored in such a way (pointing to his drenched self) 

Shivaay: Laughing sheepishly😅 while glaring Anika 😒

Anika: Better luck next time Mr One and Only 😜

Ishaan left the place cursing under his breath for this silliness 

.....

Later that morning the sun was high in the sky and all four of them gathered to discuss about the situation

Ishaan: First of all we need to find the secret of this Apartment , we  cannot enquire people directly so we need to come up with the plan 

Anika: I have a plan let's host a party and invite whole apartment in this way we can also familiarize ourselves with the people and hopefully find out something valuable even if this doesn't happen we will know their identities to extract information out of them later on
