Manan's face was still black as he removed the towel from his face and threw it on the sofa. He then headed to the kitchen, where Nia was standing, eating the last piece of chocolate. Before she could even savor it, Manan grabbed her waist, turned her around, and started kissing her.
Nia was taken aback, her eyes wide with surprise, as she stared at Manan, still trying to process what was happening.
After a brief moment, Manan released Nia, who then took deep breaths, staring at him with a mixture of shock and anger.
Manan smiled and said, "Get ready quickly; we need to leave." He then added, "Don't forget to pack your clothes."
Nia retorted to herself, "How dare he kiss me in my own house and steal my chocolate?" She thought, "I won't let him get away with this."
Ten minutes later, Nia emerged with a large bag and stood before Manan, who looked up at her and then at her bag, which reached her waist.
Manan asked, "What have you packed in that bag?" He teased, "Makeup, I presume? Girls these days carry more makeup than clothes."
Nia glared at Manan and replied, "I'm not like those girls. My bag only has clothes, not makeup. Understand?"
Manan nodded and took Nia's bag. They headed outside, where Manan put the bag in the car. Nia locked the door, and they got into the car.
As they drove to the mansion, Nia admired its unique design. Upon arrival, Manan opened the door for Nia, and they entered. Shivanji was watching her usual serial on TV.
Upon seeing Nia and Manan, Shivanji rushed to hug Nia. Manan excused himself, saying he had work at the company and would return in the evening.
Shivanji and Nia spent the day chatting and watching movies. As night fell, they watched a horror movie, with the lights off and only a dim yellow glow.
During a tense scene, Shivanji commented, "This girl is crazy; she wants to die." Nia agreed, and they continued watching.
Suddenly, they heard footsteps approaching from behind. The sound sent chills down their spines.
Nia whispered, "Auntie, does your house have any ghostly relatives?" Shivanji denied it.
Nia asked again, "Then where is this noise coming from? There's no one else in the house."
Just then, someone placed a hand on their shoulders, making them scream.
