His breath got stuck in his throat as he held the pen above the paper, his eyes searching the room in hopes of having at least a glance of her face.
"Answer the maulvi" his father spoke.

It was a beautiful day with the sun hiding behind the puffy gray clouds, the air blew in soft gushes flowing through the busy bodies of people mingling with one another in the city.
Traveling through the road far away in an old neighborhood full of old mansions were two friends wandering around on Zoya's bike. She drove by many houses as they assessed the area around them. They looked around to find the perfect background or house for their photoshoot. Much like before there was yet again a photography competition in their university. The theme was a perfect fairytale.
Their gaze flickering from one house to the other. Some were well kept while some looked worn and abandoned with chipping paint and broken windows. Overgrown gardens and dusty exteriors. During their search they came across a haunted looking haveli which looked like no one had been there since centuries. It was an abandoned property with a garden the size of a field with overgrown grass and rotten plants.
Zoya parked the bike outside the main gate. It looked scary but the total structure was what they wanted. They both were fond of exploring new places and unexplored fields in the valley. Capturing Everything that nature here provided. There wasn't much left for them to explore but they weren't still allowed to step out of the city either.
They walked inside the rusted metal gates. The doors creaked as they pushed it open. Hadiya was behind Zoya while she looked around amazed. Old broken chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the main lobby. The sun rays breaking into the hall through the broken huge windows. The ceilings were high with dome-like structures. The haveli looked like an ancient castle.
"What the actual heck!!" Zoya exclaimed as they entered the huge lobby. The walls were tainted yellow but the elegance of the architecture could be sensed from miles away. Her voice echoed in the empty castle.
"This looks creepy" Hadiya added scurrying after her stupid friend. Hadiya was the one paranoid friend everyone had in their friend group but even she couldn't deny the fact that Zoya's adventures were worth the risk.
"Are you kidding me? Look at this- OH MY GOD...... THERE'S A INDOOR FOUNTAIN!!!" She exclaimed running off to the fountain she saw from afar. The pillars around it were covered with vines and moss and the pot of the fountain was all green because of algae.
Hadiya palmed her ears as her friend's voice rang in the quiet place. There was a door made of glass that opened in the field like a garden. They went back into the lobby and walked through the other door right in front of the main door. It opened in a main living room which was empty but had a grand staircase leading to the upper portion.
"Zee let's go back. Koi aa gaya tu? Uper bhoot hua tu?" Hadiya said clutching Zoya's sleeve, her small figure trailed behind her overly excited friend.
(What if someone comes here? What if there's a ghost up there?)
"Husshh.... No one's here. It seems like it's been abandoned since ages. Besides this is the type of a building we were looking for the project, now we won't have to rent a place" Zoya said walking ahead.
