Episode Three__Horror Boy

...****************...

It was night at the Sidha mansion. Siddharth came back and saw Neha was worried and scared.

"Siddharth, please. I think we should consider our parents," Neha said in tears. "The way I saw my dad today scared me. He's shrunk and scared."

Siddharth replied, "Neha, we've talked about this." Neha went to him and held his hands.

"I know, Siddharth. Please just consider him and meet with him tomorrow," Neha said.

Siddharth nodded and smiled.

On the other hand, Kavya was with Dev inside his van, which he used to show his horror skits.

"I mean, I'm getting recognized now. So many people are watching my skits," Dev said.

Kavya faked a smile. "Can you stop, please? Now let's talk about ourselves," she said, smiling.

"Of course, babe. I missed you so much. I was thinking maybe I can show my fans my dearest girlfriend Kavya," Dev said loudly.

Kavya remembered Rishi's words: "You are bigger than him, Kavya. You can't be the girlfriend of a loser."

In the meantime, Nisha was on a video call with Kamran because now they were together. "Kamran, sometimes I just used to be scared," Nisha said.

"Scared? How do you mean?" Kamran asked.

"Nisha! Our broken families don't think we can be together," Nisha said, worried but pretending calm.

Kamran replied, "Nisha, don't be dear. Just continue to convince your dad about any of this." They talked more, then she hung up and remembered her job.

*One Week Ago*

Neha was shocked to see Nisha come looking for her.

"Nisha, please forgive me for everything. I need this job," Nisha said.

"I'll give you the job, Nisha, but I want you to keep one thing in mind: you are my employee, not my sister or friend," Neha said. Nisha was shocked.

"Nisha, I thought we were friends again," Nisha said.

"Yes, we were before Sid told me how you've handled our relationship, just like the infamous ones," Neha said. Nisha was shocked.

*Flashback Ends*

Suddenly, she heard a noise downstairs and she went and saw Sara shouting at Kavya.

Sara's voice was firm. "You're done with acting." Kavya looked at her in surprise, while Anil and Kareena exchanged worried glances.

"But why?" Kavya asked, her voice laced with uncertainty.

Sara's response was resolute. "I can't risk having another Rithika situation here."

The room fell silent as everyone was shocked by her words.

Kavya's voice rose in defiance. "Sorry, but I won't accept this. I'm not a child anymore."

Anil's face darkened. "How dare you talk to Mom like that?" he said, his anger boiling over. In a sudden burst of rage, he slapped Kavya.

Kavya's eyes welled up with tears. "You can do whatever you want, Dad, but I won't let her dictate what I'll do in my own life," she said, her voice shaking. With that, she turned and left, tears streaming down her face. Sara watched her go, her expression turning cold with anger.

"It's all your doing, Kareena," Sara said, her voice dripping with venom. With that, she turned and left, leaving Kareena looking upset.
