Day 4: Thriller Adventure
The first thing Rhea noticed was the silence. Not the comforting kind, but the kind that wrapped around your throat and squeezed. She stood at the threshold of Room 407—her brother’s hotel room in Mumbai—staring at the door swinging slightly ajar. He hadn’t answered her calls in two days.
She stepped in, heart pounding, eyes adjusting to the dim light. The room was neat. Too neat. No sign of Aarav. Just a half-drunk bottle of water and an envelope on the table, addressed to her in his scrawled handwriting.
She tore it open. “If you're reading this, something’s gone wrong. I’ve uncovered something big. Don’t trust anyone. Not even the police. Go to locker 309B, Central Station. You’ll find the proof.”
Her breath hitched. She had come to surprise Aarav for his birthday, but now it seemed she had walked into something dangerous. The air felt thicker now. Was someone watching?
That night, dressed in a hoodie and nerves, she found the locker. Inside: a USB drive, a few documents, and a photograph—an image of a corporate boardroom with faces she recognized from the news. Powerful people. One had his hand on Aarav’s shoulder. Smiling. But Aarav wasn’t.
She didn’t notice the man following her until the third turn. Calmly, she ducked into an alley, doubled back into a taxi, and slipped into the crowd at Churchgate. Her phone buzzed. Unknown number. Just one word: “Run.”
Rhea didn’t sleep for two days. She copied the files, mailed them to a journalist Aarav once mentioned, and disappeared into the chaos of Delhi. Headlines broke three days later: *"Whistleblower Exposes National Espionage Network."* But Aarav was still missing.
She kept searching. Because some moments don’t just change everything — they demand you become someone new. And Rhea? She wasn’t just a sister anymore. She was the only one who knew the truth.
