A call for help

Rohan's eyes were filled with worry as he paced back and forth in his room. It had been days since he last heard from Payu, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. They always kept in touch, no matter what. But this time, there was only silence.

Rohan tried calling Payu's phone again, but it went straight to voicemail. He sent another text message, but it remained unread. A sense of dread was creeping over him, and he knew he had to do something.

He decided to go to Payu's house and check on him. As he approached the familiar doorstep, he felt a sense of trepidation. What if something had happened to Payu? What if he was hurt or... worse?

Rohan took a deep breath and knocked on the door. There was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, but the silence was oppressive. Rohan's heart was racing now, and he knew he had to find a way inside...

Rohan examined the door more closely and realized that it was locked from the outside. He furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of it. Maybe Payu has forgiven his dad , and they'd gone on a trip together? That would explain why Payu wasn't answering his calls or messages.

Rohan thought back to their last conversation, when Payu had told him about the argument with his dad. But then, Payu had also mentioned that his dad had apologized... Maybe this was a sign that things were finally improving between them?

Rohan felt a glimmer of hope. Maybe Payu was okay, and he was just overreacting. He decided to wait a few more days, hoping that Payu would get in touch with him soon. But as he turned to leave, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't quite right...

Rohan's concern for Payu's well-being overrode his initial hesitation. He examined the door more closely, looking for a way to open it. He noticed that the lock was old and rusted, and he wondered if he could force it open.

With a surge of adrenaline, Rohan grasped the door handle and pulled it with all his might. The lock creaked and groaned, but eventually, it gave way, and the door swung open.

Rohan's heart was racing as he stepped inside, calling out Payu's name. But there was no answer. The house was silent, except for the sound of his own ragged breathing. Rohan's eyes adjusted to the dim light, and he saw that the room was in disarray, with furniture overturned and bloodstains on the floor...

Rohan's eyes widened in horror as he took in the scene before him. He stumbled forward, his heart racing with fear. "Payu!" he shouted, his voice echoing off the walls. But there was no response.

He saw Payu's broken body lying on the floor, surrounded by pools of blood. Rohan's mind went numb as he rushed to his friend's side.l He fell to his knees, cradling Payu's head in his lap.

"Payu, no! Oh God, no!" Rohan screamed, tears streaming down his face. He rocked back and forth, holding Payu's lifeless body, his mind reeling with shock and grief.

Suddenly, he heard a faint noise coming from outside. Rohan's head jerked up, his eyes scanning the room wildly. He knew he had to get help, fast. With a Herculean effort, Rohan gently laid Payu's body down and stumbled to his feet...
