This city in India is a beautiful mixture of history and modernism. With its busy bazaars and historical monuments on one side while the modern office buildings Delhi is no longer a sarkari sahar, and it is here that our story begins.
Ruhi, a girl of 20, stays in the southern part of Delhi. Ruhi is a very rude girl, especially to the lesser privileged poorer section, her rudeness was so strong that she hated the poor people. She even ensured that all her friends are rich.
Ruhi’s father, Rudrik is a business man who owns 3 apartments in Mumbai and 4 in Delhi. He too like Ruhi choose his friends with caution. In fact he has only one friend, Ishan. Who too like Rudrik is a businessman. He has two daughters who are the friends of Ruhi. Their names are Ishika and Rishika. They are like their friend Ruhi.
One day Ruhi called Ishika and Rishika, for planning a picnic. She said that she wanted to go for a picnic the next day. Ishika and Rishika both readily agreed. That day they went to college, all excited more for the picnic then the studies. Later after college they decided to chill out at the Olive bar and Kitchen restaurant. They ordered some food and desserts, and after a delicious meal they left for their home. Reaching home they asked for the permission to go for the picnic. Both Rudrik and Ishan agreed for their outing.
All good, everyone happy and so far the story seems to be another travel tail. However, what happened that night changes the story. It was midnight when Ruhi who was fast asleep was woken up by the constant buzzing of her phone. She opens her sleepy eyes and finds a call in her phone from an unknown number. She reluctantly picked it up, “Hello”
“Tomorrow is your last day”, replied the unknown caller and disconnected. Ruhi felt fear in her senses, but then she realised it was just a prank, or was it?
The next day, Ruhi called Ishika and Rishika to her home, blissfully forgetting about the phone call. Both the sister reached Ruhi’s house after a while, all decked up for their picnic.
Soon it was time for them to leave as the cab reached their house which was booked by Ruhi. They instructed the destination to the cab driver and relaxed seating at the car. After a while they felt thirsty and requested the cab driver to buy some bottles of cold drinks for them. The cab driver stopped the car near a shop on the road and soon disappeared to fetch the cold drinks as instructed. He returned after a while with three bottles of cold drinks. Ruhi took out some money from her wallet and gave it to the cab driver. “Here keep the change.”
All three friends drank the cold drink but then after a while they felt something weird. They were feeling very sleepy.
When Ishika woke up, she noticed that the cab was parked at a quiet and place where she could see not a sole around. She also noticed that the sky was glittered by the moon instead of the sun. She turned towards Ruhi and Rishika and found them sleeping. She woke them up. “Where are we?” said Ruhi as she woke up. Rishika too woke up and all three realised that something was wrong, vary wrong. As they were wondering what might have happened, they heard four or five people were approaching towards the cab. They were very scared.
