At Midnight:-
Nayab's room:-

Nayab : Let me revise the plan once again.

Mannat : Okay.

Nayab : We will quietly go to the control room, switch off the camera's if the security man is sleeping.

Mannat : If he isn't?

Nayab : Then...

Mannat : Then can we hit him with a pan like Rapunzel does to Eugene in Tangled?

Nayab : That was a movie Mannat, in real life I don't think people get unconscious with one hit of a pan.

Mannat : Then what we will do?

Nayab : We will use this. {Show her a bottle of chloroform}

Mannat : Where did you find this?

Nayab : Online shopping.

Mannat : But...

Nayab : Don't worry no one saw moreover Soha was waiting at the palace gate for it, as soon as the person arrived she took it from him.

Mannat : Soha always used to help me too.

Nayab : She is very loyal.

Mannat : I agree.

Nayab : So, we will use this chloroform if necessary then proceed to the left wing also begin our investigation.

Mannat{excited} : Great, I have never broke rules before it feels exciting.

Nayab : Let's go.

Both of them as planned silently reach the control room furthermore to their luck the security incharge was actually sleeping. By taking advantage of this situation they switch off the cctv camera's.

Mannat : You know what is the weird part in all this.

Nayab : What?

Mannat : There is not a single camera in the corridor to the control room along with inside it.

Nayab : Yeah! That's strange but it is favouring us right now.

Mannat : Ofcourse nonetheless inform Ranimaa about this.

Nayab : Sure.

###

Nayab/Mannat slowly walk in the direction of left wing of the palace. There was pin drop silence in the corridor due to which goosebumps were arising on Nayab's body. Her mind was playing her as she was feeling extra chilly in that corridor.

Mannat : Irony is that I'm a spirit still I'm scared that I'll encounter a spirit.

Nayab{nervously laughing} : I can't even tell you to hold my hand, you can pretend if it make you feel better.

Mannat place her palms around Nayab's arm though it didn't make a difference because as soon as Nayab took a step ahead she pass through Mannat's palms.

Nayab : I should stop watching horror movies. {She said this line for the reason that she was hearing unusual voices which were actually nothing}

Mannat : You watch horror movies?

Nayab : Yep watched the whole conjuring series.

Mannat : Brave girl, you know I haven't watch a single horror movie after I watched "Lights out"

Nayab : That was a great movie.

They were currently standing infront of Murtaza/Bisma's bedroom. There were 2 more rooms in the corridor, first one was Murtaza Ali's study and other one was a locked bedroom.

Nayab : Whose room is that? Why is it locked?

Mannat : That is my aunts[Ranimaa's daughter] room.

Nayab : You have an aunt? Where is she? Why no one mentioned about her to me?

Mannat : She was kidnapped in her childhood.

Nayab{shocked} : What? How?

Mannat : There was a man who use to work for my grandfather. My grandfather trusted him alot likewise treated him like a son but when my grandfather gave his throne to my dad that man got angry.

Nayab : So he took away your aunt? By the way what was her age at that time?

Mannat : Yes, she was 6yrs old I think. Starting from that day Ranimaa made some royal rules about royal blood.

Nayab : Didn't your grandfather try to find his daughter?

Mannat : He did everything that was in his power yet it was as if that man along with my aunt vanished from the surface of earth.

Nayab : What was his name?

Mannat : I don't know, I heard this story from Mom. Ranimaa don't like to talk about it, hence that room is locked from many years.

Nayab : (I assume there are many more mysterious in these palace walls then I think)

Nayab unlock Murtaza/Bisma room, to say she was spellbound was an understatement. It was the most beautiful room of the Palace she visited afterall it was King/Queen's bedroom.

Nayab{bewildered} : How is this room so clean?

Mannat : Mr Ansari with a staff member regularly clean this room together with study on Ranimaa's order.

Nayab look around whereas Mannat was remembering her memories with her parents in that room. It has been 15yrs that she has stepped in her parents room, till date she didn't have the courage to ask Ranimaa permission to visit her parents room.

Next they walk in the study, Nayab was checking everything keenly in order to find anything that could be related to Mannat's death or a reason to murder her. Both the girls miss to notice a tiny locker in the bottom cabinet of the study table.

Mannat : I think we should leave.

Nayab : You are right. (If Mannat's aunts room is locked from many years then probably it can be used to hide murder weapon or poison. Right?)

*******

Nayab's Room:-

The moment Nayab step in her room a chit stuck to her slipper. She bend as well as remove it from her slipper including to that she read it.

Chit - "Next time if you want to wander around don't switch off the camera's just click the yellow button on right corner of the main box. All the camera's will run in a loop, today I did it for you. Be careful don't get caught."

Mannat{confused} : Who is it?

Nayab : No idea, why does someone want to help me?

Mannat : Maybe that person want us to visit left wing again as he knows something which we don't.

Nayab : Maybe. (But everyone here is loyal to royal family then who is this person?)

*******

Next day:-
Royal Dining Hall:-

Suraiyya : Sharik.

Sharik : Yes Mom...

Suraiyya : Tara is coming for coronation so kindly behave with her.

Sharik : No way Mom.

Suraiyya : I like her.

Sharik : But I don't and you know that.

Nayab{to Mannat} : Who is Tara?

Mannat : Oh, Tara is Suraiyya chachi's niece. She want Sharik bhai to get married to Tara although Sharik bhai doesn't like her.

Nayab : What kind of person is she?

Mannat : A clingy one, she stick to Sharik bhai like a panda. Hahaha besides I feel she fake love to me.

Nayab : In short you don't like her.

Mannat : Not even a bit.
