In Episode 3 of “Aks,” the story dives deeper into the relationships between Sheher Bano and Sher Dil, and their interactions within the haunted house. The narrative oscillates between their present-day conversations and Sheher Bano’s memories of how she and Sher Dil first met. Their love story began during their university days at Harvard, where Sheher Bano first saw Sher Dil playing tennis on the university website. His charm and prowess caught her attention, and she became fascinated by him. This led to a series of email exchanges between them, and eventually, they met during a university tennis match. Sher Dil quickly became an important figure in Sheher Bano’s life, and despite the initial distance, they developed a strong connection.

Back in the present, there is a growing tension between Sheher Bano and Sher Dil regarding their residence in a haunted house. Sheher Bano feels increasingly uneasy due to the eerie atmosphere and haunting legends about the house. During a conversation, Sheher Bano expresses her discomfort with staying in the master bedroom and their concerns regarding the strange happenings. However, Sher Dil remains skeptical and brushes off her concerns, suggesting that they stay in the house despite its haunted reputation. The couple’s conversation reflects both their strong bond and the undercurrent of fear and superstition surrounding their new home.

As the night progresses, strange incidents begin to unfold. Sher Dil wakes up at the same hour every night, feeling a presence that he cannot explain. He checks the doors, which he had locked earlier, only to find them mysteriously open. Disturbed by the inexplicable events, he decides to investigate the house. He checks the rooftop, which had been left open, and this further fuels his unease. Though nothing seems physically wrong, Sher Dil cannot shake the sense that something supernatural is at play.

The episode concludes with Sher Dil’s growing confusion and unease as he tries to rationalize the strange occurrences in the house. Despite his attempts to remain logical, the house’s unsettling history begins to weigh on him, and his trust in the supernatural myths about the house slowly starts to waver.
