New home.. Home?? or Hell?? (Continued3)

Suraj--uncle, since how many years u r working over there?

watchman--y r u asking this question beta?

Suraj--plz tell me.. i will answer each n every questions of urs..

watchman--new about 30 yrs.. i have working there since i was young..

Amar--so u must be knowing about the things which r happening over there.. at night time..

watchman--wat things..??

Amar--the lady in red dress, crying sound of her.. n other paranormal things..

Amar n Suraj could clearly spot sweat on watchman's face..

watchman--but y r u asking?

Suraj--we have been experiencing them since we came here.. plz tell us everything u know.. plz help us uncle.. or else we will die there.. agar financial problem na hoti toh kabka ye ghar chor diya hota.. plz help..
Suraj literally began to cry..

Amar consoled Suraj..

watchman--well.. this is story of about 20 years ago.. the whole building belonged to a family.. a joint family.. they were really happy.. but after their son's marriage everything ruined within no time.. i still remember.. his wife was kind of mad.. sometimes she was too aggressive and the next time she was crying like a child over nothing.. dont know wat she did to the happy family.. they used to fight like animals.. son's mother was a peace loving lady.. but after her son's marriage she behaved like wild cat.. everyday she used to beat one of the family member very badly.. same was the case wid others.. they were behaving like they were possessed.. n then one morning, when no one was opening gate of their flat, being suspicious i checked each n every flat.. every member was hanging on fan.. n the wife of son was missing.. dont know what happened to her.. no one knows this.. the flats were cleaned in order to keep this a secret.. after that whoever came to stay there, complained about paranormal stuffs.. the day when lady on the first floor's husband committed suicide, someone slapped me so hard.. i dont know who it was.. thats y i left that place the next day itself..

Amar n Suraj was gazing watchman like if they became a statue.. they were completely stunned to hear this..

Amar--i will kill that landlord! he wanted us to die too?? bloody hell..!!

watchman--u wont be able to do anything kid.. he will be there on ur door step after every month to collect the rent.. if u refuse him, he will deny giving ur deposit's money n he will also threaten u for court case..

Amar--so? we should just stay there until he finds our dead body hanging on ceiling!!?? u have his address? give it to me.. i will see everything..

watchman gave his address to Amar n Suraj.. they just wanted their money back.. by hook or by crook.. they both headed towards his house.. Suraj knocked the door.. landlord opened up.. Both Suraj n Amar decided to stay calm n talk politely to him.. bcoz aggression wud make things worse.. they made him understood abt the problem n asked him to return their deposit.. they do not care about the rent.. but to their surprise, landlord started to shout on them.. he just dint want to return the money..

Amar--u bas****! first of all u tricked us n now ur treating us like this! give our money back.. or else we will have to take some legal action..

landlord--do watever u want to.. i dont care!! now just leave from here.. or else i will call the police..

Suraj calmed Amar n they moved out.. they wanted their money back.. they made a plan on their way back.. they left that place n shifted to dharamshala..

after couple of days, landlord got a call from a group of ppl.. they wanted to take a flat on rent.. they called the landlord near the building.. landlord was busy showing them flats, while he heard a voice, hello mr.. it was Amar..

landlord--wat the hell r u doing here?? guys, dont worry.. he tried to trick me few days ago.. but i came to know abt his plan n now he came here.. wait u.. i will call police right away..

Amar n all guys gave a laugh.. yes.. the group of guys were Amar's friends.. the landlord was trapped.. Amar went near landlord, who looked terrified.. he pulled his collar n took him on 3rd floor, in the flat where he used to stay.. he slapped him, snatched his bag of money n took his cell phone.. Amar locked him in the room.. n kept his cell phone outside the door.. he came down.. Suraj was waiting for him on the building gate.. they thanked all of their college friends for helping them.. their friends left.. landlord's screams were audible.. he was shouting in pain..

Suraj--u still think this is to be done??

Amar--if we left him then he wont leave the innocent one like us.. he was ruining ppl's life for money..

Suraj agreed wid Amar n they both left.. the bag contained nearly double the amount of deposit+rent.. the honest kids gave the rest of the money to the needy watchman..

after 3 days all the major n local newspaper's headline was--a man who was also landlord of the place, found dead, hanging for ceiling.. Reason of death is stated as suicide by the local police.. it is also said by the local public that the building has something paranormal within it.. Due to which whoever stays there, eventually end up hanging from ceiling..



~~~~~THE END~~~~~

New home.. Home?? or Hell?? (Continued2)

they took their dinner n went to bed instantly as they had a long day.. a sudden knock on their flats main door made Amar to wake up.. there was continuous beatings on the door.. as if someone just wanted to break the door.. He woke up Suraj.. he was too able to hear the banging.. they were just sitting on their bed thinking who is it.. none of them dared to go n see who it was.. after few mins banging stopped.. both of them took a peaceful breath..

but suddenly their bedroom's door started to knock furiously.. they both hugged each other like if its their end.. the unknown was banging the door in such a force that it wud just break wid the next bang n then its gonna be end for Amar n Suraj.. Amar got up n took cricket bat which was lying near his bed.. he went n stood up near the door.. his aim was to just break the head of the person who was doing this piece of sh*t in middle of night.. Suraj closed his eyes n started to read Hanuman Chalisa.. the banging on the door began to reduce.. n it gradually stopped..

Amar gained some courage n opened the door.. there was pitch silence in the hall.. he closed the door, locked it n sat near Suraj.. both of them spoke nothing.. but their silence spoke everything.. Amar understood there some paranormal things r going around..

but that was not it.. after few mins, they heard some voice from hall.. it sounded like a lady crying in pain.. Suraj started to cry in fear.. Amar was just gazing at the door..

Suraj--look! wat did i tell u? i leave this place.. but u dint listen to me.. n maybe its our end tonight.. if not by ghost then by heart fail for sure!

Amar--STFU yaar!!

Amar headed towards the door.. he was just very irritated of all these.. he opened the door.. he again had his bat wid him.. he just dint want to believe it was a ghost.. wat he saw was completely shocking for him.. there was a lady in red saree sitting near kitchen n sobbing.. her face was covered wid her pallu.. Amar glanced on the main door n found it locked from inside.. How the f*** she get inside then?? Amar wondered..

Amar--Hello? Hello?? who r u?? how did u get inside??

He got no reply from the lady.. he was stepping near her.. he was standing just 3 feets away from her.. He again called for her.. but she wasn't answering.. Amar just went near her.. She was still sobbing.. sobbing sound cud be heard clearly.. she was sitting in the position in which her face was ducked between her knees.. he shook her shoulder.. she looked up.. but there was pallu on her face.. when he tried to lift her pallu he shouted wid horror n fainted..

Suraj ran towards Amar.. when he reached hall, he saw Amar lying on floor.. there was no one around him.. he picked him n brought him in the room, kept him on bed n ran and locked the room.. he thrown some water on his face.. Amar woke up wid a gr8 shock n started to cry like a child.. Suraj got a hold of him.. Amar was behaving like a child.. he was kicking in air.. shouting in pain.. mujhe yaha se bahar nikalo.. i dont wanna be here.. Suraj got angry on him n just slapped him tightly.. Amar relaxed n started to cry again..

Suraj--wat happened yaar?? kya hua?? bolega kuch??

Amar--dude.. she had no head! she had no head.. it was like.. its was like.. im seeing thru.. she had no head.. she haadddddd noooooooo...

He fainted again.. Suraj dint know wat to do.. he decided to stay like that till dawn.. time passed n it was 7am.. Amar woke up.. none of them had power to goto college.. they decided to bunk the whole day n sort this matter first.. they dint want to leave the home as it wud create many problems.. bcoz they invested all the money in the flat.. landlord wont return them the payment.. they couldn't even stay there anymore.. if anything worst happens then ppl wont be able to even find their dead bodies..

Suraj--dude.. i have one idea.. but i dont know tu manega ya nahi..

Amar--agar manne jaisi baat rahi toh kyu nahi manunga? tell me.. wat is it?

Suraj--shud we call a baba or pandit who will just check the house.. maybe a unsatisfied soul is living here..

Amar--dude! ur mad kya?? they will just take some money n fly away..

Suraj--lets give a try anyways.. i heard good n those who really have some knowledge dont do this for money.. its their hobby..

Amar thot n agreed wid him.. that was the last chance.. n last hope..

Amar--so? where shud we start from?

Suraj--i think we must ask our friends who r staying here.. they will tell us about some pandit.. but dont tell them about all this.. they will laugh on us.. just take number of some good pandit n then we will directly contact wid him..

Amar called some of the friends n withing 10 mins he got 3-4 numbers.. they called everyone of them.. each one listed wat they want.. except for one.. he just said that give me watever u want to.. even if u dont give me, i dont care.. yes.. they both found the real guy.. they went over his place.. he was resting on a chair.. his eyes were closed..

Pandit--come in boys..
they both puzzled a bit.. they entered..

Pandit--how cn i help u? u both look strained..

Suraj--actually.. i dont know how to tell u..

Pandit--dont worry son.. tell me..

Suraj--we recently took a flat on rent n i think.. i thinkkk..

Pandit--that the place is possessed?

Suraj--yeah.. maybe..

Pandit--how did to come to know??

Suraj explained him everything from the start.. Amar also told him about the lady in the red dress.. he told him her full look on.. Suraj identified her n said that it was the same lady he saw in the funeral..

both of them pleaded to pandit to help them.. Pandit agreed to help them.. he accompanied wid Suraj n Amar to their flat..

Pandit was talkative all the way.. he was asking casual questions to Amar n Suraj regarding their family background, how they came across this home etc..

but as soon as he entered in the campus, he was dead silent.. he was just gazing at the building wid weird looks.. they climbed to their flat.. he stopped on the way.. it was 1st floor.. he pointed towards the lady's flat n closed his eyes.. Suraj n Amar was looking at each other weirdly.. after some moments, he opened his eyes..

Pandit--This flat has seen a murder in recent days.. the reason is same as ur's..

Amar(shockingly)--yea yea yea.. u r right uncle.. he used to see n feel the same things which we r facing.. he committed suicide due to this..

Pandit--looks like he was weaker than u.. or maybe he seen way worse than wat u guys saw.. May God bless his soul..

Amar thought, wat cud be more worse than this..

they all approached their flat.. Suraj opened the lock.. Suraj n Amar stepped in.. Pandit was standing on door.. he again closed his eyes n touched the bottom of entrance.. after sometime he got up..

Pandit--leave this place as soon as possible.. the soul that haunts this place is here from a long time n has got really powerful..

Amar--so that means u cant help us?

Pandit--no one can! just leave this place!!

Pandit went from there.. Suraj n Amar went behind n pleaded him to help them.. but he was stern.. he went from that place.. Suraj n Amar returned to their room wid no hopes left..

they both went in their room n were silent.. Suraj had tears in his eyes.. they couldn't even this place bcoz of financial problems n they couldn't even stay there..

Amar--stop crying like a baby!! lets call that mo********* landlord n hold his neck! he will have to give our money back!

saying this Amar called up the landlord.. he wasn't answering the phone.. he called up again n again but no use.. seems they were tricked!

Amar--wat to do now? this son of a ***** is not answering..

Suraj was silent.. he was feeling the death coming near to them.. Amar shook him n asked him again..

Suraj--oh yes.. we shud call the watchman n ask him about this place.. maybe he know something.. he looked really old n seem to be working here from a long time..

Amar-damn! how cud we forget him?? but we dont have any contact of his.. how will we search him?

Suraj--lets go back to the tea shop where we went that night.. maybe he will help us..

so they both headed to the tea stall.. luckily it was open..

Suraj--bhaiya, do u know anything abt the building which is on that side? the only building which is just 10 min far..
the tea seller(TS) was gazing him like Suraj asked him his life..

TS--wat about it?

Suraj--i wanted to know the address of watchman who used to work there.. if u can help us.. plz.. we need to talk to him..

TS could see need in Suraj's n Amar's eyes.. he gave them address of old man.. Suraj n Amar quickly hurried towards his place.. it was a small house situated about 10 kms from their building.. they knocked the door.. a old lady opened the gate..

old lady--yes?

Amar--we r here to c watchman uncle.. who used to work in our building..

Amar just completed his sentence, he saw watchman standing right behind the old lady..

watchman--arey! aap log yaha? come come.. come inside..
he told his wife to prepare some snacks for boys..

New home.. Home?? or Hell?? (Continued1)

Amar shook him..
Suraj? Suraj?

Suraj looked at Amar.. Amar was shocked to see him.. his eyes were red n he was crying..

Amar--Dude! wat happened dint u sleep at night?
Amar sat beside him.. Suraj pulled him n hugged him tightly.. he told he dint sleep whole night bcoz he was scared.. he told him about the incident.. Amar consoled him saying that it maybe a dream n he getting scared for nothing.. bcoz if something else was there, he shud have also felt it.. Suraj pleaded him to sleep wid him.. Amar agreed looking at Suraj's position n told him to shift his bed in Amar's room.. Suraj did so happily n they both arranged everything.. it was afternoon 1pm.. they were hungry.. Suraj prepared lunch quickly.. they were about to eat when someone knocked their door.. Amar went to see who is it.. it was building's watchman.. he informed them that the couple on first floor committed suicide.. Amar n Suraj were very shocked to hear that.. watchman called them both for some help.. they both hurried nd reached couple's flat.. they saw lady's husband hanging from fan of bedroom..

How can it be yaar!! i just saw him yesterday.. he was looking so much fine.. Amar muttered to Suraj.. both of them were gazing the hanging dead body..

Police were enquiring lady about his sudden choice to commit suicide.. she told them that her husband used to hear voices at late night.. which was inaudible to her.. that was reason they were changing home.. he was really disturbed.. i told him to many times that its his hallucinations.. but for him it was as good as live show.. he used to hear someone jumping on 2nd floor just above our bedroom, sometimes he wud just wake up saying something is burning.. but nothing was actually.. she started crying badly while saying this.. Her relatives were there who tried to console her..

Amar went near watchman n asked him wat he cn do to help? watchman said he was calling him to console the poor lady.. bcoz her mom wasnt there by then.. Amar sighed.. Both of them returned to their flat.. dead body was taken for postmortem just to make sure that it was murder or suicide.. they both sat on table.. food was lying in front of them but none of them had any hunger left.. Suraj stored the cooked food.. Both of them were lost in thoughts.. they were thinking repeatedly on wat the lady said.. the things which used to disturb her husband.. the things were exactly identical to wat Suraj experienced the later night..

Amar--dude, did u met that guy before? n if yes did he discuss any of his problems wid u?

Suraj--no i dint.. u only went for the sugar if u remember.. but y?

Amar--bcoz if u met him n he discussed his problems wid u then maybe ur brain pressurized on that topic too much.. the reason y u think u experienced the same..

Suraj--nah.. i dint meet him.. but Amar.. do u believe in paranormal stuffs?

Amar--i dont know.. i have never been in such situations.. so one part of mind dsnt believe.. but i have heard many incidents or stories whatsoever.. so another part of mind says i shud believe.. but does it make any difference?

Suraj--yes.. i think there is some paranormal stuffs out here..

Amar--dude.. if u think on that too much then ur mind will make it true for u.. thats a secret.. approved by Albert Einstein.. Dint u know??

Suraj--hmmm!!

Amar--just chill yaar.. aaj raat hum saath mei so rahe hai na.. dekhte hai ye bhoot shoot ko..

the rest of the day went widout any trouble.. though both of them were lost in dead person's thoughts.. in evening they went for a walk.. the lady's house was filled wid visitors.. Suraj while climbing upstairs, his eyes caught a women who was red saree sitting wid her pallu covering her face.. the rest ladies were in white saree n were crying.. but she was sitting just neutral.. Suraj found this really odd.. ignoring her he went upstairs n locked the door.. they both heated food made during lunch time n ate it.. while going to bed Suraj prayed to God to keep him n his friend Amar safe.. he knew something was going wrong.. but he dint want to end like lady's husband..
both of them went in deep sleep due to the long tiring day they had.. suddenly at about 3 am some noise made Suraj to wake up.. he cud clearly hear some voices from hall.. but cudnt distinguish wat he is actually hearing.. it was mixed up sounds.. he was really terrified.. he tried to wake up Amar but he was sleeping like a dead soul.. Suraj gazed upon Amar's stomach.. it just going up n down.. that made him believe that he was still alive.. but then y he is not waking..?? he tried one time more n failed again.. Suraj wanted to find out the source of the voice.. so he headed towards the hall.. slowly opened the door of bedroom n was completely shocked to see wat he was seeing.. he seen a family out there fighting verbally wid a young man n a lady who was most probably her wife.. the old lady was shouting very loudly on both of them.. while she was shouting she was looking at young man.. but then she turned her face towards Suraj.. Suraj fell down looking her at face.. she had no eyes.. n yet she shouting! leave this home!! leave this home!! he quickly came inside, locked his door.. Amar was standing near window gazing outside..

Suraj--Amar! Amar!! pack ur bags fast.. we need to get out of here..

Amar--look there..

he was pointing his finger outside.. his voice was sounding like he has gotten up after watching most scaring dream of his life.. Suraj looked in the direction in which Amar was pointing.. he was pointing in the sky.. there was nothing there..

Suraj--dude there's nothing out there.. c'mon we need to get out of here right now.. i wil tell u everything later.. just listen to me now..

Amar--look there once again.. u will see it..

Suraj--wtf dude!! there isn't anything there!!!


Amar--there is.. i just saw a face made of clouds.. it was laughing on us!

What Amar said was enuf for Suraj.. he took some water n thrown it on Amar's face.. he behaved like someone has woke him from a deep sleep..

Amar--dude!! is this the way to wake someone??

Suraj--u were asleep?? u were standing right here pointing outside window n saying something stupid..

Amar--about a laughing face??

Suraj--yes!

Amar--i thought it was just a dream..

Suraj told him everything about wat happened few mins ago.. he pleaded him to leave this place asap..

Amar--dude, but where will we go at this time?? just look at ur watch.. its 3.30 am.. let it be morning.. will discuss tomorrow in morning.. now come n sleep..

but Suraj was adamant on his decision.. Amar pleaded him to at least wait till morning.. surely they will arrange something..

saying this, Amar went back to his sleep.. Suraj was just sitting slanging Amar in his mind.. that was 2nd sleepless night for him.. he could still hear the family sounds.. but he just took God's name n passed this few hrs to sunrise.. it was 7am.. Amar woke up.. Suraj was still sitting in the same place..

Amar--dude, u dint even sleep tonight??

Suraj nodded his head in denial..

Amar--i seriously dont know wats wrong wid u yaar.. if its happening then y only wid u?? y not me?? i have committed more sins than u..

Suraj--i dont know all that.. i just dont wanna be here even for an hour.. u r coming wid me or i shud leave alone?? i will go back to dharamshala..

Amar pleaded to Suraj.. reminded him of the rent n deposit they already paid to the landlord..

Amar--look Suraj.. we could solve ur problem yaar.. aaj market se bhagwan ki photos aur ek mandir le aate hai.. then how will ghosts come here in presence of God?
Suraj gave a thought on wat Amar said.. he agreed wid him.. they got ready n went to the market to purchase a small wooden mandir n photo of God.. they came back n hanged it, did everything.. that night was a peaceful night for Suraj.. he was bit relieved.. but he dint know, it was just the beginning..

next day they had college.. they woke up, got ready n went to college.. attended it fully n were on the way of their home.. they were in the compound of the building.. watchman called them n said, saab wo 1st floor wali madam ne ghar bech diya hai.. ab iss puri building mei aap akele hi ho..

Amar--wat!! we r alone??

Watchman--main raat mei nahi rahoonga ab se.. meri chuttti ho gayi hai.. toh aap log plz zara dhyaan rakhna apna..

Amar n Suraj were worried.. about robbers and something else too..

Amar--arre waise bhi.. ye oldie hota toh kya karleta yaar!! we cn protect ourself.. dont worry..
Suraj sighed n agreed..


Sunday, February 1, 2015

New home.. Home?? or Hell??

Amar was a bright boy.. He cleared every entrance exam which was hurdle in his admission in a good engineering college.. N he did it very well.. N his hardwork gave results.. he got admission in one of the finest engineering college.. it was his dream to go there.. but there was a problem.. the college was kinda 4-5 hrs far from his home.. that means he had to do 10-11 hrs journey from home to college.. he gave it a thought n decided to stay in hostel.. his parents also agreed wid him since they wanted their son to brighten up his future.. everything went well.. he got a good room in hostel too.. his parents came over n arranged all the things for him.. his mom was sobbing.. Amar was her only son.. she somehow couldn't bear the distance.. for 18 years her home used to be filled wid voices of Amar.. but now it wud as good as desert.. Amar consoled his mom saying that he would come home every weekend.. its just 5hrs journey afterall.. his parents left.. he was feeling uncomfortable.. after all it takes time to settle down at a new place..
he settled down.. next day was his first day of college.. Amar was tensed.. first day of college, how its gonna be, will he be able to make good friends, how r the studies going to be n other sort of questions.. the other day came.. till break his day went good.. he also made a friend who came from other city n was seeking a place to live.. his name was Suraj n he wasn't ready to stay at hostel.. on Amar's asking he replied that, this college's hostel is named for its ragging though the students r very studious.. still seniors rag their juniors as that was only way to fresh up their mind according to them.. Amar wondered that nothing happened later night.. maybe wat Suraj heard is just a rumor..

he n Suraj were having their lunch in canteen.. on the table behind them a group of students were sitting who looked elder to them.. they murmured that maybe they r seniors.. Amar recognized one of them as senior he seen at hostel.. they were laughing loudly n saying that they r gonna rag first year students later that night.. their talks made Amar literally shiver.. he was really afraid of ragging.. he pleaded Suraj to bunk the rest lectures as he needed his help to find some other place to stay..

Amar called up at his place.. his dad said that he is right away coming to help him.. But Amar knew well how weak his dad's business was.. n he dint want to give him any sort of tension.. so he consoled him saying that he has got a friend here named Suraj n he is also looking for a place.. so he will search wid him n inform him.. his dad sighed n agreed.. Amar went to hostel n packed up his belongings wid full pace n ran from there.. Suraj was currently staying at dharamshala.. Amar also went wid him saying that he will pay half of the room rent.. soon they will search a flat for rent n go there..

(for those who dont know wat a dharamshala is-- its a hotel only.. but u just get one bed to sleep on n nothing else.. for toilet n bath u have to use public source.. the rent is very cheap like say 30-40 bucks per day..)

they both began searching for the flat.. their budget was low n deposit as demanded by landlord.. after searching alot they finally got a flat.. it was about 15 mins far from their college by walk.. n rent was way less than their budget.. they were plainly shocked to hear the rent.. the landlord was a old man who dint even demand any deposit.. on asking he just said that he wanted to help the poor fellows.. it was 3 BHK flat.. previously furnished.. happily Amar n Suraj moved in the flat.. Amar informed his parents n they were happy too listening this..

Suraj was a good cook.. so the cooking department was handed to him.. Amar said he will wash the clothes.. out of 3 rooms, both took individual bedrooms n the spare room was left as study room.. their whole day went in arranging things.. it was 2 am in the night n they just finished wid the arrangements.. all the things were set.. they were hungry.. but wat wud be done at 2 am in the night.. eatables were also not there at home..

Suraj--buddy i think i saw a chai wala near our college at 10.30 pm once when i came to see the college before the day it started.. maybe it shud be open.. warna aaj bhooke peth hi sona padega..

Amar--lets check it out then.. hey bhagwan.. khane ka ek dana bhi mil jaye toh i will think lucky of myself..

they locked the home n headed towards the chai wala.. they were walking down the path talking to each other about the next day.. it was holiday n they had to set up the kitchen.. they reached at the place.. luckily chail wala used to come at night times.. Suraj being a occasional smoker bought a cig n started to smoke..

Amar(coughing)--gosh! i dint know u smoke man..

Suraj--sorry.. sorry.. my mistake.. im just a occasional smoker yaar.. not regular.. n dont worry.. i smoke only at exam times..

Amar gave a weird look n concentrated on his tea n biscuits..

it was 3.30 am.. they headed back towards their flat.. on the way back both of them were discussing their personal lifes.. Suraj was only son of his parents just like Amar.. his dad was a hard working man.. when they reached near to their building...

Amar--Dude, i told u to switch off the mains.. did u do it??

Suraj--yes buddy.. i did it..

Amar--look there.. its our flat na..
he was pointing his finger towards 3rd floor.. the flat had its light on..

Suraj--yes.. it our flat.. but i swear dude i switched off the mains.. lets go n check..

they both climbed stairs hurriedly to check.. the mains were on.. Suraj was blank.. he clearly remembered the he switched off the mains.. Amar consoled him saying that maybe he forgot.. but Suraj wasn't ready to accept..

Amar--chor na yaar.. maybe some child switched on it.. just masti k liye..

Suraj--yeah maybe!!

they both arranged their bed, wished each other good night n fell on bed.. Amar was a late sleeper.. he thot of listening some songs.. gana sunte sunte neeind aa jayegi.. so he closed his eyes n was listening to peaceful songs of kishor da.. suddenly after sometime he heard some hard sounds.. he was shocked for a minute.. he stood up n saw the windows of his rooms making the sound bcoz of wind.. he silently laughed on himself n closed to windows.. suddenly he felt as if someone walked behind him.. he turned back wid a shock.. there was no one.. just to check, he went in Suraj's room.. he was in deep sleep.. he thought maybe its his mind is tired n need some sleep.. so he went n slept..

next day they both went in market n collected all the eatables along wid a gas cylinder.. while returning they saw a watchman on the building's gate.. he looked in his 60's.. Amar went towards him..

Amar--arre uncle, kal aap sara din kaha they?

Watchman--aap wohi ho na jo Sharma ji ke naye kirayedaar ho..?? main kal bimaar tha.. isiliye nahi aaya tha..

Amar--achcha uncle.. yaha ke bachche bohot shararti hai kya?? kal hamari ghar ki mains humne bandh ki thi.. par pata nahi kisine chalu kar di wapas..

Watchman--Beta lekin yaha toh koi bachcha hai hi nahi.. 1st floor par ek couple reheta hai bas.. wo bhi ab shift hone wala hai..

Amar wondered.. then who must have done it.. inside, he believed that maybe Suraj didn't switched off the mains.. he went upstairs.. Suraj arranged the whole kitchen n installed the cylinder along wid gas stove.. he wanted to drink tea.. so he started to make.. but there was no sugar..

Suraj--Shit yaar.. we forgot to bring sugar..

Amar--if we go now then it wud be too late.. will bring tomorrow while returning from college..

Suraj--but wat now?? we wud need it for dinner na..

Amar-yeah.. wat to do?

he thot for a while n remembered of the couple that was staying on 1st floor according to the watchman.. he told Suraj to have patience.. he will go n borrow some sugar from their neighbours..

knock knock!

the door opened.. it was sweet lady wid question her eyes..

Lady--yes?

Amar--aa mam actually we r ur new neighbors.. main sharmaji ka naya kirayedaar hu.. actually we just moved here yesterday n today while bringing eatables from market we forgot sugar.. if u dont mind, cn u borrow me some sugar?

Lady--oh yes yes sure.. plz come in.. my husband wud be pleased to meet u..
Amar handed over the bowl to lady.. he went inside n introduced himself to her husband.. he dint give much attention n continued watching his tv.. out of curiosity, Amar asked him, Sir if u dont mind, y r u shifting?

Lady's husband gave him a tough look n said that he got a new job.. n turned his direction again towards his tv.. the lady came wid sugar.. he thanked her n left.. he reached in his flat.. he couldn't spot Suraj.. he called his name.. but no reply.. his room's door was open.. he walked in.. it was pitch dark.. but he could see Suraj standing near window wid his back towards him.. he called his name but he dint give any reply.. he was getting nervous.. wtf is going on? he just met that guy 2 days ago.. wat is he planning to do?? he went near him n shook his shoulders.. Suraj gave a sudden look to him which made Amar really shocked n he fell on ground.. Suraj had headphones in his ears.. he was listening songs wid full volume..

Suraj--Man r u ok?? shit u scared the hell out of me.. y dint u call me before shaking me yaar!!

Amar--sorry.. next time i will carry a loudspeaker wid mike to call u, u idiot!!

both of them laughed on that.. they prepared dinner, ate n slept.. at about 3 am in the dark night...........

it was about 3 am in the night.. Suraj woke up.. he smelled something burning.. he stepped out of his room.. Amar's room was closed n the smell wasn't coming from there.. he checked the kitchen.. smell wasn't coming from there even.. he stepped towards the main door wid slow pace.. she could see something orange colored from the base of door.. he went near the door n seen thru key hole.. there was nothing he could see.. just blackout.. he wondered n opened the door.. he was shocked.. there was nothing.. nothing there.. just pitch silence.. he stepped outside to check but he dint know wat to check actually..

A thudd!!

his room's door closed wid a huge force.. he got very shocked.. his legs started to shake.. his heartbeat was at its highest level.. he just dint know wat to do.. he tried calling Amar but he was feeling like he lost his voice.. He stepped towards his room closing the main door.. strange thoughts began to come in his mind.. he reached near his door.. he could some sounds.. he touched his ear to the door to listen it properly.. it was like some lady crying.. he took God's name n opened the door.. there was nothing in there.. complete silence.. he closed the door n sat on his bed..

Amar got up in morning.. looked his watch.. it was 7am.. he decided to sleep more since it was sunday.. but something bothered him.. Suraj used to get up at 6.30 morning sharp n wake him for the bed tea.. but that day he dint.. just to check, Amar went towards Suraj's room.. he knocked the door to seek for permission.. but no reply came from other side.. he just opened the door n went inside.. Suraj was sitting on his bed wid his head ducked in his knees.. (i hope u can imagine his sitting position wid folded legs)......
