"Yaha pe kya ho Raha hai papa?" Shreya asks her father

"What's happening here dad?"

"Wo,beta kal raat kisi ka murder hua tha yehi par isliye hum log investigation karney aaiye the" Uncle replies

"Someone was murdered here last night so we came here to investigate"

"Uncle aap logo ko koi clue Mila kya ki ye murder kisne kiya hai?" I ask curiously

"Uncle have you all got any clue that who caused this murder?"

"Ha ek clue to Mila hai lekin hum ussey itne ache se pata nahi laga skte" uncle replies

"Acha?kya mila?" Shreya ask

"Is that so?what did you got?"

"Hume ek kaagaz ke tukde pe signature Mila tha body ke upar" uncle replies

"We got a signature in a piece of paper on top of the body"

"Can we see the signature please dad?" Shreya requests to her father

"But my child what will you do with that?" He replies

"Please please dad" she requested again

Uncle sigh and nod he then showed us the signature.Seeing the signature my eyes widened in shock cause,it was the same signature which I found on the bouquet and on my dining table with that rose.

"Kya hua beta?tum is aadmi ko pehchanti ho kya?" He questions noticing my reaction

"What happened child?do you know this person?"

"N-nahi uncle mei....k-kaise...kisi murderer ko..... pehchanugi?" I reply hesitantly while Stuttering as he nods

"No-no uncle...wh-how...will i recognize a murderer?"

"Beta tum dono abhi Ghar jao abhi bahar ghumna safe nahi hai,sham bhi ho rahi hai, theek hai?" He says with a soft smile as we both nod

"You both go to your home now, roaming outside at this time is not safe, it's getting evening too,okay?"

We both then leave the place.I was still very scared and nervous about what I just saw there,the signature,I was too scared to tell Shreya about this too,i didn't wanted her to worry about me more as I know she really cares for me. I just couldn't get those things out of my head. Shreya was on her way and I was on my way to home as our paths to our home are different,it was slowly getting dark.

As I was walking through the streets I felt someone was following me,i didn't turned around and keep on walking. The streets and roads were only a bit crowded not a lot of people were there as it was getting evening now,i keep walking and i still felt someone was behind me and was following me.

I turned around and found no one. I started walking and again I started to feel someone following me, I increased my walking speed but nothing was working I still felt someone following me, I turn around just to find no one else again. I was now close to my house and was also glad that I will get rid of someone following me for now

I runs towards my house and entered inside. I saw my dad waiting for me while sitting on the couch with his same cold look as always

"Bring me a cup of tea hurry up" he says coldly as I nod and went inside

I made him a cup of tea without any complaints and went upstairs and throw myself on the bed feeling exausted. Then suddenly my phone started to ring, I checked the caller ID and it was an unknown number i picked it up and keep my phone close to my ear

OTP (On the phone)

"Hello?" I said

"Hey sweetheart, I'm glad to hear your voice" a deep and husky voice replies from the other side with a cold laugh

"W-who is it?" I ask

"Very eager to know me huh?" He replies

"I ask who is this?" I repeat my question

"Well,this is your King speaking princess" He replies with a soft chuckle

"Stop this nonsense and tell me who you exactly are?" I ask gaining courage

"I just answered your question sweetheart,why do you keep asking me the same thing? He replies

"From where did you get my number?" I ask

"Oh darling,you ask so many questions,just relax" he maintained his cold but flirty tone in his voice

"Don't call me ever again" I said and quickly hand up

I got more nervous and scared things has takes wrost turn,what am I suppose to do now?he literally got my phone number. While thinking this i quickly blocked that number and switched off my phone.

तू जो, छू ले, प्यार से
आराम से मर जाऊँ
आजा, चंदा, बाहों में
तुझमें ही गुम हो जाऊँ
मैं, तेरे नाम में खो जाऊँ
सैयां...

मेरे दिन खुशी से झूमें, गायें रातें
पल-पल मुझे डुबाए जाते-जाते
तुझे जीत-जीत हारूँ
ये प्राण-प्राण वारूँ
हाय ऐसे मैं निहारूँ
तेरी आरती उतारूँ
तेरे नाम से जुड़े है सारे नाते
सैयां...🍂
