However they reached the main door of the house using their mobile's flashlight. Shiva unscrewed all the screws in the lock and tried to break the lock…. He took a stone and finally broke the lock and entered the house.

Nila: Whose house is this? We are doing wrong.

Shiva: This won't be wrong, because this is my house.

Nila: Are you coming like a thief in your own house? Where is the key to this house?

Shiva: If I had it, why would I come into my own house like a thief?

Nila: Why did we come here?

Shiva: Nila, listen, Don't ask me questions. Definitely I explain everything to you after going to our house. We came here to search my dad's diary. If you come across any diary just bring it to me.

Nila: No, I won't go alone. I am so afraid. There is nothing to fear here. Be brave.

Both Nila and Shiva started searching for Manohar's diary. After searching for two hours, the diary was not found. Nila was too scared to search in the dark so she switched on the light switch. But Shiva immediately went and turned off the switch because he thought that if there was light, someone would come and check.

After searching downstairs they went upstairs. But this time they both searched separately but in the same room. At that time something from the top hitted Nila's head which made her shout loudly. But Shiva closed her mouth and made her calm. She was rubbing her head as it was so painful. Then she took that which fell down on her head. Something that is wrapped with a cloth. She opened and found a diary inside it. Turning to the first page of the diary, Manohar's name was written in it. Because there were many diaries in that house. Immediately she handed over the diary to Shiva.

He scrolled the pages and confirmed this was the diary he searched for. Then he took Nila and went out of the house. They came here by travelling through the bus. Again they went to the bus stand of that town at dawn.

One of them in that town notices Shiva at the bus stand and calls someone…

~ Brother, Manohar's son is here in our town.

-Really, how is this possible? Did he have anything?

~ No, I think a lady is there with him…. Shall I capture him, brother?

-No..no…leave him. I will handle….

Diwakar: Was there anything other than Uncle's name on Bhairavi's mobile???

Shiva: Yes, it was Vedan when I rearranged a word. But no one I know in the name of Vedan.

Diwakar: Vedan means hunter.

Shiva: Yeah, ( He hesitates and says something) Maybe that Vedan is the one who killed my father and Bhairavi??

Diwakar: Maybe. Wait a minute and I see if there is anyone named Vedan on Social media.

Diwakar checked and he found none. But he didn't give up and asked his friends to investigate.

Shiva: I am working to find the truth in my sister-in-law's demise, but why are you so interested in finding the culprit? You are even more focused than me.

Diwakar: Nothing like that. Just for you.

Shiva: Thanks da….

Shiva: Uncle, I need our house's key.

Shiva's uncle: Which house Shiva?

Shiva: Nice Joke, Devan uncle. The house where we lived already?

Devan: Why do you need that?

Shiva: Still that house belongs to my father and after it belongs only to me.

Devan: You're the boy who grew up before my eyes, you speak so clearly.

Shiva: Uncle, give me the keys.

Devan: No Shiva, it's dangerous. Neighbors say that after your father's death, his spirit haunts the house. So it is a dangerous thing for you to go there.

Shiva: Is it uncle. I wanted to show my wife our own house where I was. It seems impossible.

Devan: Shiva should not desire danger. you know that I will say it for your own good, don't you?

Shiva: Okay Uncle.

7 hours ago……

Both Nila and Shiva were going to the place by bus. Nila slept because it was night. Meanwhile, Nila screamed and fell asleep as the bus driver suddenly braked.

Nila: Paah!! How rashly the driver is driving.

Shiva: You continue your sleep.

Nila tried to sleep, but she couldn't. Again she started hearing some voices and unusual thoughts. She pretended to sleep. Suddenly she opened her eyes and started thinking of something.

Nila: I totally listened to what you and Diwakar Anna talked about that day.

Shiva: So…you heard. What do you think about that?

Nila: Why can't the name you mentioned as Vedan be Devan?

Shiva: Nila…

Nila: Yes, It just occurred to me.

Shiva: (jokely) Oh!!!! You too have a brain my wife…

Nila: Oh oh!!!! If you tease me, I will beat you.

Shiva laughed at one side but on the other side he was thinking of the name Devan, because it is his maternal uncle's name.

Present……..

Shiva: Nila, come bus arrived.

They boarded onto the bus to return to their home. Shiva kept that diary inside his shirt.

••••Knowing beforehand that if anyone saw him in that town, they would find him to be Manohar's son, Shiva hid the diary in his shirt. He had to walk from his father's house to the bus stand with empty hands. But Shiva did not know that someone had seen him. ••••

Shiva took that diary and gave it to Nila and said that he wanted to sleep for an hour. Nila got that diary. He took a nap.
*******
The following day……

Devan: Do you know what your son does?

Chandra: What happened Anna? Why are you irate? What did he do?

Devan: Where is he?

Chandra: Shiva and Nila went out and came this morning. Nila went to college and he is sleeping.

Devan: Your son and daughter-in-law have gone like thieves to their own house.

Chandra: Anna, what are you saying??

Devan: Even though I said there is danger there, he went to the house in our town. And how he broke the lock and entered.

Shiva yawned and came out.

Rudra: Dad, Shiva does all this because Nila says

Shiva: Oh!oh! Why don't I have a brain?

Rudra: Yes, Your brain has faded since you married Nila.

Shiva: Yes 100%....No No 200% You are right. Baby!! There is no time.I have to go to my office. I laugh after coming home...bye…..
       
       "Don't stare, Rudra!!! Your eye will fall to the ground".
