The Hidden Diary Chapter 4 - The Key to the Mystery

   After they came out of Shruthi’s house, we see all five of them heading somewhere. There was a silent breeze moving across the five of them. But the silence was broken by Maya, “Brother, why didn’t you tell Uncle that we found the diary?” Daniel also raised the same question, “Yeah bro, why did you hide that?” Aditya, with his calm sternness, looked at them. After a few moments, he spoke, “So what are you expecting me to do? Tell Uncle that we found her diary, giving them a sudden shock right now? You know all what they were going through. In this case, giving them hope is like playing a 50-50 game until we find out the whole truth. You all are going to remain silent regarding this with them. Understand?” All four of them felt okay with Aditya's words, so everyone agreed with him.   Aditya also asked, “Daniel, how did you know that diary could be there?” Daniel responded, “It is nothing but a hunch, bro.

The Hidden Diary Chapter 3 - The Hint

   The timeline swiftly shifts to the present, where Ravi, Ismael, Maya, and Daniel enter a street. As they enter, Daniel asks Maya, "Are you sure this is the place where that man lived?" Maya, with a determined nod, responds to Daniel, "Yes, this is the place." As they proceed, Ravi asks, "But how will we find his house?" Ismael responds, "Let's ask from the nearby houses." With a stern intention, they decide to locate this man. While inquiring about the man's location, their attention is caught by a funeral poster hanging on a nearby wall.     The atmosphere grew heavy as they read the details on the poster – it was the same man who had tried to harass Maya during that bus incident. Their eyes couldn’t believe what was in front of them. They approached one of the residents on the street, from whom they learned that the person had suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. Shocked and perplexed, Ravi, Ismael, Maya, and Daniel stood in

The Hidden Diary Chapter 2 - Past Conflict

  Later that day, Ishmael found himself sprawled on his bed, lost in a treasure trove of memories about his days with Shruthi. As he daydreamed, one memory shone brighter than the rest. It was a sunny October day, and Ishmael's classmates were all busy cramming for their upcoming semester exams. Notably, Daniel, Ravi, and Maya were missing in action. In this studious setting, Shruthi was the epitome of focus, buried deep in her books.   On the other hand, Ishmael was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, wasting time like a pro. His thumb finally landed on a meme that cracked him up, and he couldn't help but share the hilarious find with Shruthi. Their laughter echoed in the room, forging a silent connection between them. After that Shruthi asked in sign language, “Ishmael, why aren't you hitting the books? What's your excuse?”   Ibrahim then replied, “See Shruthi, I have been trying to understand concept for past two weeks. But nothing going inside my head, so I

In these 8 months, he hasn't made a single attempt to disclose his identity, but he has consistently supported me whenever I faced emotional or academic challenges.
