No matter how tired she was , she always checked her phone before sleeping .
That night was no different,
The room was silent , the clock ticked softly on the wall . outside, the streetlights flickered in the empty lane .
Riya lay on her bed ,scrolling aimlessly...
Then ,
Buzzz
A message pooped up .
Her eyes froze up .
Aisha:- 'dont open the door '.
Riya immediately sat up .
Her heartbeat quickend .
Ayisha...? , she wishpered.
That was impossible.
Aisha had been missing fir three days.
No calls, no massages , no trace .
Some said she ran away !
Some said something worse .
With trembling fingers, riya typed :
"Where are you? ,are you okay? "
She waited .
Second passed .
No reply
But something caught her attention...
At the top of the screen_
Ayisha is online.
