Emperor Kalki walks hurriedly towards his chamber. His grip over his sword tightens gradually as he gets nearer to the chamber.

He reaches the door and takes a deep breath. 

"Maya"

His voice remains calm but his heart trembles as he thinks of a possibility of Maya not being inside the chamber. He grits his teeth and calls again patiently.

"Maya, open the door".

Kalki kicks open the chamber door harshly in the next moment. He enters the chamber without further hesitation and looks around the chamber impatiently.

He stopped calling her name as he caught sight of Maya standing near the window.

Maya asks calmly "You are here?"
