It started raining, was a chilly evening, dark outside, the droplets of heavy rain and cold atmosphere around making the windshield of the car blurry.

The Chevrolet was making its way from the dark, no street lights, an old and faded route into the woods, where the Sage lives.

The shelter was 10 mins far on the way, it was

7:12.

Every person in the car had experienced the thrill of the haveli...

Inside the car, there was total silence until Gautam spoke, “But what happened to the haveli?”

“Haa, I am also confused, why the hurry was for?” Vrushika.

“I can understand, you all are scared and now it’s time to explain you everything.” The sage spoke.

His words were like hot dark chocolate in the cold chilly space.

Everyone was waiting to know the real story of the haveli, everyone was eager to know, what happened there... What total risks there are to them. And at last, is there any real treasure..?

“RAJAH VIKRAM was the king, who ruled this place, he was kind, and was nice to all, he felt for a lady, he was totally mad in her love. And soon he  married her... She was Jaymala, from the woods of Minar.

She was beautiful, lovely smile, and cold blue eyes, she was flirty, by this skill she made the king fall for her.

But the worst thing in her was that, she was greedy, very greedy, she married the king only by looking at the huge kingdom and treasures of the king. She was having a sharp eye on every penny that the king had ever earned.

Soon, King and Jaymala had their first kid Indra. Indra was a pure epitome of his mother... Similar facial characteristics, and similar thoughts. As greedy as his mother.

He was very much loved by his father King Vikram. Vikram never made Indra go far away from his shades.

Vikram wanted to make him the next and the best king. He nurtured him well, but Indra, he was holding his mother's values instead.

Indra was growing up and at his 22. He became the king of this place.

The place where now the haveli is, firstly there was a shelter of our people, my great grandfather's home. But one day Indra came up to that place, he wanted to make the haveli there... He had decided to keep all his treasure into that haveli, he wanted to make the haveli as an old bank. (TEHKHANA)

But my Grandfather denied, but then he forcefully attacked and enter into our society and destroyed the village.

But then, something happened, winds started blowing, my g-g-father was standing like an absolute stubborn statue. My grandfather’s rage turned into a cursed, he cursed the King Indra that, he and his next whole generation can never take a single coin, jewel, precious stones out from the house. If he mistakenly touches any single part of the treasure or uses any single penny from the haveli, he will die with sudden death.

Indra was on his horse, with few of his soldiers. He listened to my Great grandfather's word. “Take this old man, put him into the hollows” Indra scowled.

They then put my g-g-father into the dark hollows, and later he was punished to death, he was not hanged, but instead, he became a food of some dreadful creatures...His cell was turned into a room of bloods.” Sage stopped.

“Oh so the Image we saw in the room was your great grand father’s photo,” Naina says while she remembers the picture she brought down from the cupboard in the haveli.

“Ahh...I don’t know, which image are you talking about?” Sage asks.

Abhishek checks the bag and takes out the paper image which he collected from Naina.

He handles the paper to the sage.

“Yes...yes he is my g-g-father”

surprisingly the sage replies. The sage feels to cry by looking at the picture, his g-g-father dying in such a horrible way. All creatures over his body.

“And then, what happened next, what about the king Indra, never he ever got his treasure?”, Vikrant asked.

“My g-g-father’s cursed worked, Indra died, he went inside the haveli, it was the most luxuries haveli of that time, the shine was everywhere, and at all the bottom of the haveli was the locker, where all the treasure he had stored. But as soon as he tried to take them away, all the same, creature which killed my g-g-father, had killed Indra too there the same way, everywhere news spread that the haveli is haunted. None then later went inside, except the queen.

Mother of king Indra, old queen Jaymala tried to went inside the haveli and take all the treasure, she was walking through the chambers, she was known by the fact that this house has eaten up his son. But still, she wanted to look the truth by her ***** eyes.

She was walking and walking, holding an English light lamp, the light was moving by its speed and lightning the dark canals. She was following a map. The family had made a map of the Haveli, everything was noted, also the way to the lockup.

And then she saw the dead of Indra, she was thrilled, shocked, scared, she saw the skeleton, rings in the finger, high-quality silk on the body, and a diamond attached crown.

She was a hundred percent sure that it was King Indra. She looked at the body for long, She got closer, she felt something, her son, her cell, her part was lying down, but now was just a dead skeleton.

She was a mother, but at last greedy, she took out the diamond from the crown and moved on. And soon she was in front of the big gate, in the canal. The big vault. But the next moment as she touched the big vault, a wild crowd of creatures ran onto her....” Sage stopped again.

“And then???”, Vrushika asked.

“And then, her greed made her die.” Sage.

The sage looks outside, “Hey stop the car, stop the car!” And exclaims.

“Why..?” Vikrant.

“We reached...”, And the sage opens the car door and gets out from the Chevrolet...

His body’s the first to approach the raindrops on his body, and so later everyone gets out and they too get wet in the rain.

Goosebumps over Gautam’s body due to cold, “Oh sage, where’s your shelter, take us in...we are getting wet!”

“Just a few steps ahead...” The sage replied.

Vikrant slowly looks for a good place to park the car, and he gets out of the car, and Abhishek too comes out from the car with him.

Everyone ran inside the shelter...

It's a wooden place, totally basic, small, but warm. Sage enlights a small lamp, vintage feel, brown-yellow smooth glare of the light surrounds them and fits in the room.

While it was raining outside, the shelter was dry inside, despite being a weak one.

Vikrant and Abhishek brought Manish on their shoulder... Sage quickly took out a paste of some medicinal plants and he started applying it on Manish’s injured part.

Manish was not in his sense, he was unconsciously lying on the mat.

The shelter was small, but everyone was perfectly accumulated.

The medicines were on their way to treat and cure Manish. Till that he was supposed to rest...On the other side, everyone was tired and was resting on the floor and a mat between.

“So what’s next?” Naina.

“We understood that none can touch the treasure!” Abhishek.

“You heard wrong, only King Indra and his whole generation cannot touch the treasure!” Gautam.

“Hmm, and I guess that’s why Ravi didn’t got anything...Oh...I got it ..I got it..” Vikrant.

“what?” Abhishek.

“Ravi died just because he was the generation of King Indra, his body had their blood...So when he might have gone inside the haveli...He somehow touched something in the haveli, and that’s why creature might have followed him till home, and there it all ended... And so if he couldn’t achieve the treasure, he thought to handle this map to me.” Vikrant stopped.

“Ohhh. Yes. now everything is clear...” Abhishek.

“So this is the thing I need to tell Officer Azad, this my state will help me to be free.” Vikrant.

“Guys.Guys!! This is not a thing to discuss now! We are still not finished here. We don’t know where Aisha is! Not either confirm whether she is safe or not!” Naina.

“Ahh yes... Our next most important task will be to find her and took her out from the haveli!” Vikrant.

“And what about the treasure, is it in the plan...” Abhishek.

“Don't know, I think it is damn risky from every side, Hey was he dead?” Vikrant.

“Who?” Abhishek.

“Armaan!” Vikrant.

“I don’t know, but he was lying down in the haveli, and his men were with him...” Abhishek replied.

“Possibly he could have died till now, as according to our sage’s Haveli hell theory, the house becomes hell now. The creatures might have eaten him up...” Vikrant.

“Ate Aisha too??” Vrushika asks in worry...

None speaks anything...Silence

“Don't worry kids, God will keep her safe, you all must be hungry, wash your  hands the meal is ready...” Sage smiles and tries to bring

a smile on everyone’s face.

“Hmm, Very hungry from long” Gautam replies.

(Silence)

Aisha, was standing in the dark chamber, and suddenly everything started trembling, like an earthquake, she was standing all alone, and she saw at the front, a crowd of deadly creatures... Was running to her. She didn’t run, she stood there like a statue,  she was thrilled, but was standing without any hope... She was known by the fact that it's impossible to escape the haveli.  She stood at her place long and quick the crowd teared her up...

Blood, flesh, body, clothes. 

Was totally messed up around, Everything ended in seconds...
