Chapter 3 - the accident

It was Rajveer's birthday and being for the prestigious Singhania family, his birthday was always celebrated. So this time was no exception. The only exception was that his birthday party wouldn't be at home like it used to be, it would be at a banquet hall. Mr. & Mrs. Singhania had planned everything. They invited over 60 guests, obviously including the Sharma family.

At Sharma family

"Mumma, it's Rajveer's birthday and I don't have anything to wear for the birthday party", Aruhi said with a huff. (just a small note, her whole wardrobe was filled with new clothes but she was looking for reasons to go shopping). Roohi, who was oblivious about the fact that it was Rajveer's birthday, asked "Mom, is it Rajveer's birthday?? You never told me that". Her mother ignored her question and went near Aruhi for her dress problem, so Roohi repeated her question again this time a little louder "Mom! Is it Rajveer's birthday!? You never told me that!". "Me telling or not telling does not change the fact that you are not going to the party" Mrs. Sharma said, her voice as cold as ice, her gaze on Roohi. Roohi without wasting any moment quickly asked, her voice getting louder every minute "But why!? Why can't I go!!?". "Because I told you so!!" Her mother screamed, her voice echoed through the mansion startling Roohi. "Don't ask any more further questions or you know what's going to happen!!". Ruhi knew what that glare of her mother meant, so she zipped her lips and went to her room.

Fast forward to evening. Murmuring and shouting going on. Excitement filled the mansion, as Aruhi screamed to her mother with excitement visible in her tone "Mumma!!! Help me with the dress, please. I don't wanna be late to HIS birthday party!!!". "I am coming darling, i am". Her mother replied.

Ruhi heard them getting dressed up excitedly, and leaving the home. Silence enveloped each room of the mansion after they left for the birthday party. Ruhi was with her nanny in her room as always, but Ruhi never felt tired of being with her nanny all the time. For her, her nanny was her comfort person, but she didn't know that this day would be a terrible, horrific day for her.

A few hours later.....

As the main door opens and suddenly the quietness of the room is filled with excitement for Aruhi as she opens and shows her parents the return gift she got. Ruhi just saw all this from upstairs and silently went inside her room

"Mein ah Rahi ho thodi der Ke bad" (I am just leaving the room for a bit) her nanny said to her.

But minutes passed by, each minute felt like eternity and she never came. So Ruhi got the courage to go outside of her room. See saw light coming from that one room she was forbidden to enter but curiosity got the best of her and she peeked through the door.

Just to be horrified as she stumbled back and fell on the ground. Her face pale as she took labored breath. She couldn't believe her eyes, she rubbed them but the same horrific scene in front of her eyes.

There...there in the room...she saw none other than her nanny lying in a pool of blood. And even horrific was the fact that her father was near her nanny's body, his hands covered with the blood

She somehow managed to get up and quickly went to her room and dialed her aunt's no. In her nanny's phone.

"Hello dear! Kya Hua??" (What happened??)  Her aunt said with slight concern. "kya aap mujhe yahaan se le ja sakate hain? (Can you take me from here) Her voice trembled as she said that. "Par Kyu??" (But why) Her aunt said. "Please". "Ok I'm coming don't worry" Her aunt voice assured her.

Roohi quietly sneaked out of the house and went inside her aunt's car

In the highway

Two cars collided with each other as one of the cars went tumbling and turned upside down.

Who killed her nanny?? What did  the nanny even do?? Who were there in the two cars??
