Around 12pm the four friends made their way to Kalongi town. Singing, recalling old memories, pulling each other's leg and of course enjoying the scenic view of the mountains.
Kalongi being situated near the western coastal line of Maharashtra was all a nature lover needs, roads surrounded by aged trees, lush green farms, Karima beach and few cliffs.
Everyone overcame from what had happened the previous night as they didn't take it seriously, except Ayesha.
"Have some sandwiches Ayesha..." said Pari trying to divert Ayesha's thoughts. But Ayesha didn't respond. She was just lost in her thoughts.
"Ayesha, why are you taking it so seriously, my dear. It was just the wind with some coincidence. And why don't you text him?", Sujoy chuckled.
"I texted him, he replied back that he isn't coming." answered Ayesha.
"And look ,did that Ouija board work when we called Ananya Madam's name? No, right?
So, that flopped basically", added Pari.
Oh, really? sarcastically questioned Sameer.
"Not now, Sameer!", exclaimed Sujoy.
"You know what Sujoy, listen.. you are fools. Ananya madam never died. When the entire colony hustled towards our college's rector house to check the burning body, I had seen her...Alive! as I was returning from..."
Pari out of frustration yelled at Sameer , "from..? You where returning from where Sameer...? Do not forget Sameer you were drunk and that too for the very first time. And you were returning from the bar! That's why no one believed you then and now too.
Annoyed Sujoy stopped the car and shouted, "Guys please stop it!"
By that time they saw a man coming towards them. The man knocked on the window glass and asked them to take the cliff side road as this road is block due to construction work.
Sujoy thanked him and took a U-turn. As he looked back the man had disappeared. There was strong lighting and rain started pouring down.
Sujoy looked forward and drove towards the cliff side road. Soon they arrived at cliff side road but their car stopped suddenly. He got down to check. "This will take a while...umm...why don't you get down and enjoy the rain with some tea?" he said.
Sameer, Pari and Ayesha got down as all three loved tea. And a cup of tea in rain along the cliff side who would deny it either! "I'll get you one too Sujoy " said Sameer and left.
The calm sea seemed to be no calm but furious today. Ayesha headed towards the cliff. There was something strange, she felt as if the sea called her. There was something which was her but still strange. She felt that she had found something but still lost it.
That feeling was horrific and weird.
"Hey, Ayesha let's go....it is already 6pm"called Sameer. She didn't wish to leave this weird feeling but she had to.
"Should I believe what happened last night? Is what Sameer being saying true? I need to find out what happened that night!" Ayesha thought to herself as they four moved towards Kalongi College's student quarters.
