Shit.

I froze. I don't know what to do or how to react. How should I escape from this room without Harshad noticing me?

Alas! The door was opened with me still in the room.

Harshad held his chest for second spotting me in his room. "Shit, you scared me. I thought you were Manik."

Well, I will take that as a compliment.

He took a few seconds to calm himself before getting serious. "What are you doing here?"

I did not speak but stared at him like a doll. Yes, a doll. I can pretend that I am not a human and he shall let me go.

"Wait. How did you come out of the locked door?" He questioned me once again.

Stupid. Statues do not speak.

"Will you say something?" He yelled.

I almost flinched at his voice but I still chose to play a non living thing.

"Looks like you need a good beating to speak out." He said looking for a bat to hit me.

Hit me? As in really hit me? Holy Moly! I have to run.

"Wait, Bitch." He yelled as I pushed him to the floor.

I did run as soon as he bent down to pick up a bat. I ran out of the mansion and took a half round to reach the garden and finally to Manik's room to the secret door.

I have to pretend I was locked in my room and did not step out. I can't let Harshad spoil my plans. What's the most believable thing a person does while locked up in a room?

A second later the main door opened revealing an angry Harshad while I was lying on the floor covering my self in the duvet.

"Harshad, please let me go. I can't bear the tortuous memories of this room." I pretended to cry but no tears came.

Damn!

He took a step inside the room while eyeing me. "How did you come out of the locked room? What were you doing in my room?"

I faked a surprising face.

"What? What are you saying Harshad? Do you think I am transformer who can change myself like water and crawl from the tiny gap of the door? I am human who will be locked when they are locked. I think you are having hallucinations, it's your guilt Harshad. Accept yourself and the world shall...."

"Shut up!" He yelled interrupting me.

I shook in fear.

He pulled the duvet away from me as he looked at my outfit.

Shit.

I should have changed them before pretending.

"I am asking you nicely. How did you come to my room? Do you have a key or is there a secret path from this room?" He questioned looking around the room with curious eyes.

No. I can't let him know about the secret path.

He pressed the lion's head on the painting and a small door opened. Manik's secret locker. He kept his hand inside to find anything but it was empty.

All credits goes to me for destroying his lifetime memories in the photos and malfunctioning the gun.

Guilt washed over me once again for being the reason behind Manik's situation.
