Downstairs, Abhi and Ishaan crashed but her heart raced, "If he's here, and Ishaan's there, then...", her doubt flickered, his tease a game she'd lost control of.
She sank onto the bed, remembering the previous night on the bus and how she teased Ishaan that morning. "Why am I behaving like this?" she hissed, shame flooding, her volcano roaring, unquenched, his return a trap she'd walk into, willingly or not.
Stiff on her bed, Madhuri replayed the stalker's message: "I'll prove I'm not him tonight" Her heart hammered, a wild drumbeat of fear and excitement, her juicy lips parted, panting shallow breaths as she stared at the ceiling, "What's his game now? I'm done falling for it, he's getting caught tonight," she whispered, her voice trembling, her volcano simmering, craving a proof.
A sharp knock jolted her, Abhi's voice, shaky, through the door: "Maa... I heard a sudden noise from the terrace." Her breath caught, his fear pierced her haze, and she sat up.
"Are you alright, my dear?" she called, forcing calm, but her heart raced, He's here.
"I'm a little afraid mom... heard a loud bang. Can you please go check?" he pleaded, and she stood, legs shaky.
"Okay, I'll look, go back to your room and stay inside with Ishaan," Her voice quavered, bravery a mask, deep inside, she knew: something bad, wild, was brewing, his proof a trap snapping shut. "Is he gonna be there?" she whispered, grabbing a flashlight, her body pulsing with fear and excitement.
