All of them were making plans to go to another country in the peaks۔

Zen : let's go to China.

James :. No,let's go to America.

Mathew :No way I am not going to America.

Alina :.Well, you three don't have to fight anymore. Let's go to Japan.

Mathew and zen together:yes Japan will be fine.😁

James:So then we're going to Japan.

Zen:Now go and pack your bags.

They all got ready to go to Japan. They left for Japan at night.

Next Day

They reached Japan. All of them is very excited.🤩 They were all having so much fun in Japan. Zen knows that very well that Mathew loves Alina so much since childhood and Zen loves Mathew so much as his own brother, so he decided that nothing is more important than his friend's happiness, so he thought it is perfect for him to stop loving her

(Zen just had a crush on her but Mathew really love her)

Zen ask Mathew to purpose her but Mathew say no because he is afraid that she will reject him .......but one day Zen forced him and then he collect some courage and went to Alina......

Mathew expresses his love to Alina , but when she heard that he loves her so she become uncomfortable because(she like him just like a brother) so she just stand up saying that

"Sorry Mathew but I don't like you as my love but like you like my best brother".

.

.

.

.

.

Mathew was broken from inside . after this , Mathew and Zen went out at night because Mathew was not feeling well. Zen starts comforting him because he started to cry. From that day Zen fell guilty for it

That what he has done with him

...----------------...

he ruined his friend's life he just wanted that he will make him happy like before

...----------------...

From that day, Alina starts making distance from Mathew. She doesn't even let him near her because she doesn't want him to love her

(because she only love James)

One day when Alina and James was alone at home.

(Zen take Mathew outside cause he was s so depressed after being rejected)

They were sitting in the room waiting for Zen and Mathew to come when suddenly James kissed her

...----------------...

And she became statue at this moment he said I love you to her. She blushed very much 🤗 as she loves him so much. The whole room become silent

...----------------...

Then James broke the silence and saying

" Alina do you love me and accept me as your boyfriend"

She just nodded in yes, and he become so happy and kissed her again

(Unknowingly, Mathew and Zen was watching the whole scene from outside, they had just come back because Mathew wanted to see her but when he came to the window he become very sad at the sight and started crying on Zen's shoulder)

...----------------...

At that a moment Zen also become sad

he didn't know what to do he become helpless and have nothing to say to Mathew so he just comfort him and went inside.

When they come home Alina and James wa sleeping.

2 days passed but Alina and James did not tell them about their relationship.

...----------------...

...Then one day...

Zen was sitting in the room feeling sad and was wondering what he could do about it and then at a moment Mathew come inside running and breathing heavily

...----------------...

He went to Zen and said something in his ears.

At first Zen become shock but then accepted.

Zen: I don't know someone just called me and said that he got an accident he call me because my number was save in his phone, then I told Mathew and he went from there, I just come to tell you come on hurry up Alina.

(Alina was crying a mess then Zen held her hand and took her with him)

They reached the place where James got in accident.

There was a lot of crowds and they both came forward and saw that James's car was on fire and everyone was whispering about the accident.

The fire fighters was also there۔ Then Mathew calls them to the hospital. When they reached to hospital they saw Mathew sitting on the side and crying.

Mathew :They said that James is no more۔They said that James 's body has been completely burnt.

Alina:.Mathew You're lying, aren't you?

Mathew: Why would I lie?

After hearing that, Zen's eyes filled with tears and he started crying too and Alina who was already crying a mess start crying more.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Even three days after James's death,

Alina kept crying remembering him.

Mathew and Zen try hard to stop her but she never stops and keeps crying.

----------------

After some time, Alina recovers but still miss James. Alina always hears some strange noises from the basement but she never goes into the basement because she wass afraid of the dark.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

One day

When Zen and Mathew was not at home, Alina hears those strange sounds again,

At first, she was very scared, but then she gathers some courage and start going towards the door.

With the every step towards the door the noises become lauder and lauder.

Alina: Now what should I do, I am very afraid, but both of them are not at home, whom I take with me, so I will have to go alone.

Alina start going downstairs then at a moment she felt that someone is standing behind her breathing heavily. She became very scared, but she wants to see who's there, so she just turns around to see whose there.

But when she turns back. She saw "Zen"

........

He was standing there with so much worried on his face Alina took a deep breathe and asked Zen "what happened??"

Zen shouted at her "what are you doing here alone at this time it's about 2:53".

Alina: Zen I heard some shouts coming from the basement.....so I just come to check.

Zen:Alina come with me and don't dare to come here alone ok!!!!

•

Alina just looked at him in shock when he grabbed her hand and took her out from the basement with him. Alina wanted to ask Zen but

.

Couldn't say anything

....

Zen took her with him to their room where Mathew was already sitting Zen made her sit on the couch and said that

"please Alina do you believe me if yes so don't dare to go there again."

Alina just nodded in reply as she believes in Zen!! But Alina was worried and thinking if they had killed someone in the basement or what if there is ghost, and it will kill me.

Alina was deeply in her thought when she realized that Mathew was looking at her confused.

When he saw her looking at him he just awkwardly smiled which make Alina flinch after that she determine that she will go there and check what are they hiding from her.

.

.

.

.............Two days later............

When she was making dinner.......she again hear the shouts coming from the basement........but she have make Zen and Mathew go from the house as she wanted to go and check out.

Then she again heard a shout coming from basement and she hit the reality and then she went to the kitchen and took the knife for her safety and come downstairs..........to the basement.

As she was coming close to the basement she hears the shouts got louder the voice seem familiar to Alina.

She thought it's James voice and he is asking for help....but James was not alive so why this voice same as James's.
