Chasing Time
After the death of her beloved grandmother, Megha, Kashvi inherits an antique pocket watch-an heirloom passed down through generations. On the night of Megha's funeral, she has a vivid, almost supernatural dream, where Megha pleads with her to find the man who killed her. But her final words hold a chilling warning: "The Arcanum Order will come for the watch." Determined to uncover the truth, Kashvi begins investigating, but strange things start happening-eerie coincidences, shadows that shouldn't be there, and the feeling that she's always being watched. Then, she accidentally activates the watch-and discovers its impossible secret. The watch isn't just a family heirloom. It is an artifact of immense power, tied to an ancient secret that has been haunting her family for generations. The Arcanum Order, a hidden organization that safeguards dangerous relics, claims the watch was never meant to be hers. Megha was supposed to surrender it to them, but she didn't. And now, they want it back. But there's more. Kashvi learns that the watch doesn't just track time-it can bend it. It holds the power of time travel, but every time she uses it, she loses part of her own life in return. As Kashvi and her best friend Anshuman search for answers, they uncover whispers of betrayal, forgotten history, and a murder that was never meant to be solved. The deeper they dig, the more they realize Megha's death is just the beginning of something far darker than they ever imagined. The Order is watching. The murderer is still out there. And time is running out.
