“i was sleeping,nanny didn’t wake me up today.”pari said in her usual soft tone and gets confused after seeing around.
“this is not my room and its swara’s di room.how did i reach here?’pari asked confusingly.
“last night you slept in office therefore swara took you with her.”sanskar said with smile.

“now do me a favor,ask your swara di to get up and reach office….”
“i don’t want to wake her up,she is looking so pretty while sleeping.”pari said,staring at swara with smile.sanskar remembered the moment when swara was sleeping in her cabin.
At that time sunny gets up and looks at pari.
“pari with whom you are talking and why are you talking can’t you see i am sleeping”sunny said,throwing daggers at her.swara also gets up because of his voice.sanskar also comes back to ground from swara’s dream.

“10…’pari replied.swara felt like someone blasted a bomb on her head.
“WHAT???…..OH GOD! I AM DEAD TODAY,THAT KAHROOS WILL KILL ME”swara beats her head with both hands and gets down from bed quickly.sanskar narrowed his eyes at his beautiful nickname.
“i don’t understand why didn’t my alarm ringed today…’swara said,opened her wardrobe and picked up random clothes.
“it ringed but i stopped it..it was disturbing my sleep.”sunny said while yawning.swara looks at back at him but jerks the thought of taking his glass she runs toward washroom.

“if you don’t want to wish someone then no need to wish….no one is forcing you”sanskar said with poker face.
“what do you mean sir?…”swara asked confusingly.
“leave it…files.”
swara walks around the table and gives him files then bends forward to pick up pen from table and her wet hair strikes with sanskar’s face.he closes his eyes.swara moves back and gives pen to him.sanskar looks at her and takes pen from her hand and start signing on them.Swara takes file from him and leaves,thinking that he didn’t say anything to her now she have to keep fast.while sanskar was thinking about the moment when her wet hair,touched his face,he wipes water drops from his forehead.

“yes!…i did promise to your teacher you will bring good marks then it became my duty to teach you so that you can bring good marks…”
“teach me also..i also want to bring good marks”pari jumped excitedly.swara nodded and pulls her cheek.
“i need to think something…”sunny thought while looking at swara with horror.
“i will not study in this hunted house…”sunny said,acting of being scared.swara looked at him confusingly.
“hunted house?…”
“oh! you don’t know…”
“what i don’t know?”swara asked with wide eyes.
“there are rumors that one beautiful girl was murdered here and her spirit is still present here…”sunny said in dramatic tone at that hall’s window gets open because of wind,trio screamed.sunny scream was louder than girls and trio run outside.
sunny and pari run to their house,leaving swara all alone outside the house.swara keeps hand on her forehead and looks at her house with horror.
“swara he was lying..there are no ghost in this house,calm down”swara said to herself and goes inside house slowly,looking around being scared.she picks up her phone and dials sunny’s number.
“sunny tell me the truth…there are no spirit in this house right?,you were lying na?”swara asked in very scared house.
“say something…’
“spirits don’t exist,don’t you know this?”sanskar’s voice touched her ear.her eyes widened and she quickly looks at mobile’s screen.she had mistakenly dialed sanskar’s number because of same initial.
“sir!i know and i don’t even believe but when you are going to spend night all alone in hunted house and love you life then i don’t think its wrong to confirm things right?”swara said in little scared voice but before sanskar could have say anything,swara’s house gets dark,all lights gets switched off.
“AAAAA MAMA!….GHOST”swara screamed at top of her lungs,drops phone and run outside.sanskar moves phone away from her ear at her loud shout.
“swara?…swara?”sanskar asked but he didn’t get any answer.
“damn women!…”he saidand cut the call and again start work on phone.after 10 minutes,he cursed himself and gets up.
***********************
swara was sitting outside the house and rubbing her hands on her shoulders and cold winds were blowing.tears rolled down from her,feeling pity for herself.she covers her eyes when car’s headlights made her blind.sanskar comes out from car.swara quickly gets up,runs hugs him tightly and buried her face in his chest.sanskar was shocked with her hug and kept hand on her back slowly and didn’t do anything else.
“she is scared…”he gave hismelf a reason of her hug.
