Scene 1:
Location: Ayan’s residence
Humaira is tensed intuitively. She turns back to look at the closed door. She tries to search in the closet, but isnt able to see anything through the narrow slit. She asks the others if they to heard the voice, but they cant hear anything and take her from there, saying that she is just imagining things. As they begin to leave, badi bi manages to make a noise, and humaira tells them that she’s sure that the voice is coming from inside only. Nikhat is shocked and tells them that they cant open Razia’s cupboard and it must be a rat. But humaira is unconvinced. Finding it locked she tries to peek in, but cant see anything. They all convince her that there’s nothing behind it. She puts her ear at the slit, and tells them that there’s a sound of someone breathing. They dont believe her. When nikhat tries to see, razia walks in and is shocked to see this. she hollers at them and they stop, just before they can confirm. She reprimands them badly for such ill manners. Humaira tells them that there are some sounds from her almirah. But razia dismisses their notions saying that old wood must have creaked. She also reprimands nikhat for being the mature one and still not behaving like one. She asks them to step out, while she covers the almirah with her body so that they dont find out anything. Humaira is convinced that she is definitely hiding some thing.
