Mridula's POV
I was sitting on the bed, Aniket came into the room murmuring something. After seeing me, his face started changing colours, I gave him a questioning look and then realisation hit me that I was just in a pair of shorts and sleevless tee. I collected myself and pretended to be unfazed, I mean he said that he will not return today so I decided my clothing accordingly. Hence, that's not my fault.

I cleared my throat and said "You said you will not return today?"

"Y-Yeah, I d-did. I mean I couldn't concentrate so I came back. Umm... I guess, I would just change and come."

I sighed thank god he didn't mention my choice of clothing.

As if he would. Though I am not complaining about the embarassment you faced.

How the fuck are you my inner voice?! I mean... Whatever.

Just the moment I was about to shift to the Divaan, I found with great difficulty, Aniket came out of the washroom in a pair of white night pajama and kurta. I should not deny that his masculine aura caught me off guard. Quickly I got rid of those forbidden thoughts and proceeded with whatever I planned to do. His husky voice interrupted my work process and I looked at him bewildered.

"You can sleep on the bed, it is big enough for us to sleep without having any unwanted issues.

Aniket's POV

Mridula looked at me with those Fervours of certainty that urged my mind to run for my life but.....

We were now laying on the bed, none of us spoke apart from the tension which spoke a lot. Soon, the clouds of awkwardness turned into a comfortable silence after Mridula spoke-

"Accha, today I went to the market later in the afternoon and whenever I mentioned about the estate there were some unknown horror which I can't explain on their faces. And even if I asked about the reason they stuttered and ignored me. Do you know why? What happened?"

The question seemed to bring back the blurred memories and those strained moments and pasts. I collected myself and sighed deeply.

"It seems Kuldhara hasn't forgotten the deep former burials. And remember I hate to talk about all these so never ask again. Hope you will sleep well. Good night."

My throw was rather harsh than I expected but I couldn't control my anger I guess. She ruined my mood and I hate her for being so curious and speaking wrong things.

Mridula's POV
Aniket's harsh words didn't affect me much I didn't expect that reaction but what to do I am not even close to him. I am a whimsical to think that he would talk about this even when Mishka wasn't willing too. But I could never control my curious nature and especially I have no work here, I mean Hospital keeps me busy but here? So, this curiousity is quite natural for me and now I know that I know that there are depths so I cannot stop anymore.

My eyelids were getting heavy and my heart started beating fast because of a dream I didn't expect that I would see.
