It's the time for school to get over. Students were going home. Nandini was solving one question so she said Mukti and Navya to leave and she will leaver in five minutes. So bidding Nandini bye Mukti and Navya left.

Nandini was leaving, when one small boy of primary classes come to Nandini.

"Didi, are you Nandini" boy asked.

"Yes, I am Nandini", Nandini said.

"Actually Chauhan sir was calling you in staff room", boy informed Nandini.

"Ok" said Nandini and started to go towards staff room.

Nandini knock on the door of staff room but nobody answered. So she opened the door and entered.

She entered the room, when she heard some sound. She looked backward and saw door is closed.

She tries to open the door but it seems to be locked from outside.

On the other side, the driver was waiting for Nandini. He saw that almost all the students have left but Nandini doesn't seems to be anywhere.

He asked the guard. But guard said that the school is empty and there is no student left inside. Driver got worried and called Raman.

"Sir, I am standing outside the school, but Nandini baby is still not here." Driver told Raman.

"Ramesh, did you asked guard" Raman asked worriedly.

"Yes sir, I did, but he said no one is inside" said Ramesh.

"You stay there only, I will ask if she is at home" said Raman cutting the call.

Raman dialled Ishita hurriedly.

"Hello" Ishita said receiving the call.

"Hello ishu, had nandini reached home?" Raman asked.

"No raman, but why? what happened?" Ishita asked.

"Ramesh called and told that she is not in school." Raman said.

"What? Then where is she? Raman I will ask manik, Mukti and cabir. If they do know anything?" Ishita said.

Raman said okay and cut the call after telling her to inform him asap.

Ishita went to Malhotra Mansion.

"Neyo, are manik, Mukti and cabir at home" asked Ishita from Neyonika.

"Yes. They just returned from school. But why are you in so much hurry" said Neyonika.

"Wo actually Nandini is no where. Please call Mukti, manik and Cabir" Ishita said.

Neyonika got panicked and called all three hurriedly. Hearing Neyonika, all come downstairs.

"What happened mom?" Manik asked.

"Manik, don't know where Nandini is. She didn't reached the car." Ishita said.

"Do you know where she is. Mukti do know, you both are in same class." Asked Ishita.

"No aunty, Nandini was doing some questions when school bell rang. She said me and Navya to go and she'll leave after some time." Mukti said.

Ishita panickedly called Raman and told everything. She was crying thinking about Nandini.

"Ishu Don't worry. She'll be fine. I will find her. I am going to her school." Raman consoles her.

"Ishi maa, don't worry she'll be fine. I will go and search in school" manik said.

Saying this manik left home for school.

"Open the door, someone please open the door" Nandini said hitting the door from inside.

There was no light in the room and Nandini was feeling suffocated. She started breathing heavily.

Manik, Raj and Raman reached the school.

They asked guard but he said the same, what he said to driver.

They all goes inside the school and started to search everywhere but couldn't find her.

Manik was also searching nandini everywhere. He goes towards staff room and saw it was locked.

He had some intuitions that Nandini can be here. He asked the keys of the staffroom from Watchmen. He give him the keys. But when he tried to open the lock, the key doesn't get fit in the lock.

"Uncle the key you gave me , is not fitting in the lock." Manik said to Watchmen.

"But beta, that's only the key of that staffroom. Let me see, if am being mistaken" said Watchmen.

Watchmen checked all the keys in lock but none is fitting in the lock.

"How can this happen, no key is fitting" Watchmen said shockingly.

"Uncle we don't have time to think about all this. We have to open this door anyhow. Nandini must be here." Said manik and bring one stone.

Manik started breaking the lock with stone. The lock got broken. Manik pushed opened the door and entered inside. He saw that it is dark everywhere in the room. He got worried thinking that nandini get scared from darkness easily.

He switch on the torch of his mobile. He started to see in the room. Suddenly he saw something, which made him shocked.

He saw Nandini lying there on the floor. Her head was bleeding lightly.

He goes near her and started to wake her up.

"Nandini, Nandini, get up. What happened Nandini. Open your eyes. Nandini please get up." He said patting her cheeks bit she was not responding.

He picked her up in his arms and went towards the gate of school towards his car.

Raman and Raj saw him with unconscious Nandini in his arms.
They got panicked and run towards him.

"Manik, what happened to Nandini. Why she is like this. And where did you found her" Raman asked.

"Uncle, I will tell you everything, but first we have to go home." Manik said sitting in the car with Nandini in his arms.

Raj sat on driving seat and Raman sat on passenger seat.

"Raman call the doctor to Malhotra Mansion fast" Raj said to Raman.

Manik was trying to wake Nandini up.

"Nandu get up please" manik said trying to wake her up.

They reached Malhotra Mansion.

Manik again picked Nandini in his arms and entered the mansion and goes towards one room and make her lay on bed.

Everybody seeing Nandini like this got worried. Ishita sat besidebNandini trying to awaken her. Manik told all, what happened at school and how he found her.

Soon doctor arrived. She started to check her and give her some injection. She Bandaged her wound.

"Doctor, is she fine" Raman asked the doctor.

"She is absolutely fine Mr. Murty. She just got scared of darkness and fainted due to this only. And I have Bandaged her wound. I have given her the injection, she will be up soon" said doctor.

Doctor write prescription for Nandini and giving that left from there.
