PART 02: RING, SPIDER, AND A STRANGER


Six months ago,

"Is it really important than our relationship?", Ridhi asking her fiance in an upset tone.
"No, nothing can be important than you, love.", replied her boyfriend.
"Then why are you leaving me alone, Arien?",
Ridhi asked rudely.
"...Because it is important for this relationship.", answered Arien in a sad pitch.
Arien hugs Ridhi and kisses her cheeks.
And grabs Ridhi's hand and put it on his heart and his' on her's while saying:
"My love is in here, and mine; there. Never forget that. I love you."
Before Ridhi can utter anything, he kisses her forehead again and leaves.

Present Day,

Nightmare continues...
"Stop staring at me... And what's happening with me?", asked Ridhi horrifyingly.
The gate with a face still staring with no gesture at all.
As Ridhi was about to shoot another question, a deep voice echos behind the the gate. It was Arien's but not a single word can be understood.
Ridhi got impatient yet again curious to see her love again.
"Hello.... Arien? Is it you...?", asked Ridhi breaking down.
"Please... please open the gate..." wrenched Ridhi implored.
The face on the gate started drowning in it. And the gate gradually begun to open.
Ridhi wanted to run towards the opening but she was numbed even by the fact that Arien, the lost beloved can be on the other side.
When the gate opened it was pitch black and no voice could be heard.
Ridhi gathered herself and started taking steps of hopefulness toward the entrance. When she reached the gate opening, she could not see anything yet.
"Arien? I know, it was you...", As trembling Ridhi started to utter, she heard the steps coming towards her. And there; the steps approached to her gradually and then rapidly, somone right there was standing on her face. Before Ridhi could even startle, the someone stabed her. And put a ring in her finger. And she died in the dreaming.
Ridhi woke up as somone has just stabbed her. She ran out of the house while sighing...
