THE SECOND NIGHT-A LONG NIGHT

After hearing Komal, Swati asked her about Shruti and she said that she didn't know anything about her. She said," Shruti was with me in the kitchen but now, she didn't know that where she is." Komal looked so scared after realising that Shruti is missing. Amit said ,"We have to search the house for Shruti." Then Anna realised that Aruna was also not there and she said, "Where is Aruna?" Then Shanta said," We didn't know about Aruna ." Vivek and Tejas also replied that they didn't know where she is. Amit said ," Not only Aruna , we even didn't know about Aman.

Ajay said," We have to find them, firstly, let's search the house thoroughly." Ajay , Tejas , Anna , Vivek and Shanta start searching the whole house while others decided to stay at the lobby. They checked the whole house but they didn't find anything . They checked all the rooms and the cupboards of rooms , Kitchens(they also checked the kitchen which were not in use) and even both washrooms still they didn't find anything. After sometime they all stopped searching and again gathered at lobby and discussed that where they all gone?

Tejas said," It's around 12'o clock, Where they had gone at this time?" Komal said," What if something bad happened to them." Anna told her to stay positive and stop thinking like that. Then Amit suddenly realising something and ran towards the room of Tejas, Sachin and Dhruv and after sometime he came back towards the lobby and said," Sachin and Dhruv are also missing". He said," when I went to their room to search , I didn't saw anyone, that time I didn't realised that time thus I ran to check them again and no one was there. Tejas said ," we should also check outside ". Then he started to move towards the main door then suddenly they heard someone's voice coming from the kitchen. Then they heard it carefully , Komal said ," it's sound like Shruti's voice". They all ran towards the kitchen and saw Shruti was locked in the cupboard and she was shouting for help and to open the cupboard. Vivek tried to open the cupboard but it didn't open and then he asked for the key. Anna replied ," Aruna has all the keys ". Then they all tried to calm down the Shruti and asked her to take some long breaths. Shanta told her ," Shruti ,we all are here and don't be afraid , we will open it soon".

Tejas and Vivek again tried to open the door but it didn't open then suddenly Aruna came from the nowhere and open the cupboard. Everyone was asking her where she was but she didn't reply and asked them to take care of Shruti first. Tejas and Vivek helped Shruti to come out from the cupboard and offered her some water and asked her if she was okay. Shruti took some time and some heavy breath and said," I am completely okay now". Then Swati asked her that what happened to her and how she got locked there. Shruti said," When Komal and I went towards the kitchen , I saw Sachin outside in the fields from the window of the lobby thus I went towards the window to check what he was doing there, suddenly someone hit me on the head and I fainted". Then she showed her head injury and said it still hurts. Tejas asked her if she knew who hit her but she replied," I don't know who hit me, when I got my conscious , I found myself in that cupboard and I got scared thus I started to shout and tried to open the cupboard."

Ajay said," I didn't understand anything, we just came here and already all these things happened , we came here to enjoy but now, I think we never get to enjoy here." Anna got suspicious of Aruna and asked her where she was as they checked the whole house and they didn't find her and also questioned her that all the keys were with her then how someone locked Shruti in the cupboard without the keys. Then all of them looked at Aruna with the eye of suspicion. Aruna said," You all think I did this to Shruti, How can you guys think like that?... I was outside because I also saw Sachin outside and I tried to follow him where he was going at that time and second thing yes, all the keys are with me but really I didn't know anything about Shruti that's why stopped looking me like that , I didn't know what happened here." Then Anna asked ,"If you followed Sachin, what you saw and where is Sachin now".
