    At night everyone went to their room. Mugdha was excited to listen everything frm Vedanti.
Vedanti narrated each & every incident of the day.

Mugdha was smiling.

Mugdha :- Wow yr.. Mujhe nai pata tha ki sid itna romantic hoga..

Vedanti :- Aur mujhe bhi nai pata tha ki tum itni romantic ho..

Mugdha :- matlab..??

Vedanti :- Poore din main jab bhi tum dono dikhe...

Vedanti left the sentence incomplete.

Vedanti :- Let me come to the point.. Don't get me wrong.. Dost hoon yr main teri..

Mugdha :- matlab..??

Vedanti :- I am sorry to say.. ki tum dono ko nai lagta ki poore din ek dusre se chipke hue hote ho..??

Mugdha was looking shocked after listening this..

Mugdha :- What should I say about this ved..??  He is my boyfriend..

Vedanti :- Yesss.. He is ur Boyfriend.. Not Husband.. Jra soch samajh ke behave kar sakte ho dono.. Ab teenagers nai ho..

Mugdha was looking confused.

Vedanti :- Look.. Main ye sab tumse keh sakti hoon.. Par Sumedh se nai.. U have to control him... & waise bhi ek aur baat hai.. Ab ye to sach hi hai.. Tum dono ki families alag alag political views ki hai.. Yaani tumhare parents tum dono ke rishtey ko accept karenge ya nai ye bhi sawal hai.. Dekh mujhe tujhe discourage nai karna.. Par jab tak tum dono ke parents approve nai karte  tab tak  tum dono jyada ek dusre main involve mat hona... Plz listen to me..

Mugdha nodded.. A tear scrolled down from her eye thinking about her future without Sumedh.

At exactly 3 am sumedh woke up from sleep feeling very thirsty. He saw that sid is not present in the room. He came out of the room. He felt that someone is watching him. He was walking from corridor. & suddenly he bumped with someone.

Sumedh :- Moo...?? Itni raat ko bahar kya kar rahi ho..??

Mugdha :- mujhe pyas lagi hai..

Sumedh :- Strange... Mujhe bhi pyas lagi hai..

Rain was lashing heavily with thunder storm & lightening.

Sumedh :- Tumne sid ko dekha kya..?? Vedanti hai na andar..??

Mugdha :- haan vedanti to andar hi hai.. Par sid ko nai dekha..

Sumedh :- Phir ye akela kaha chala gya..??

Mugdha :- Shayad wo bhi paani pine gya hoga.. Chalo dekhte hai..

They went in kitchen. No one was there.

Mugdha :- Mujhe chinta ho rahi hai sid ki.. Terrace pe dekhe..??

They went on terrace. Searched everywhere & saw that sid was about to jump from terrace.

Sumedh ran fast & grabbed him.

Sumedh :- Sid kya kar rahe ho..?? Kood kyu rahe the..??

Siddharth :- Kya..?? Tum jao yahase sumedh warna wo tumhe bhi maar dega.. Jao yahase..

Sumedh :- kaun..??  Kya bol rahe ho tum..??

Siddharth :- wo maar dega... Hum sab ko..

Saying this he ran towards stairs. Sumedh & Mugdha followed him.

They reached in garden. Mugdha was saying something to Sumedh but rain was so heavy that he couldn't even heard that. They searched for sid everywhere. But instead sid they found Vedanti seating on a bench. Looking towards a tree.

Sumedh :- Vedanti.. What are u doing here..??

Vedanti didn't answered. But she made a strange sound.

Mugdha shouted loudly after listening that sound. 

Sumedh saw sid hiding behind a tree. He went there & held his hand.

He came back with sid towards Mugdha & saw that Vedanti is  unconscious.

Sid was looking towards small part of road which was visible frm huge garden.

Suddenly all lights went off. Now it was dark everywhere.

Mugdha :- Sumedh yaha kuch to ajeeb hai.. Mujhe bahot dar lag raha hai..

Sumedh :- Don't worry.. Kuch nai hoga.. Vedanti ko lo aur chalo yahase.chalte hai..

Mugdha was holding vedanti & Sumedh was holding Sid.

They were about to leave but same strang sound came from back side.

They turned back. But it was too dark.

Finally both Sumedh & Mugdha rolled there eyes towards road. A lightning striked & what they saw was dead horrible. A man with horrible looks & red eyes was standing there & was looking towards them. In a flash that man vanished.

The man was Principal Ramesh Tiwary.
