THE LAST SCARY NIGHT

 

I was very much disappointed about leaving the village and everyone I know here, especially Kamal. I don’t want to tell him anything about yesterday; I just wanted to spend some time with him. So when grandma, uncle and aunt were busy I slipped out of the house and went to Kamal’s house. We took long walks together, went to the lake and sat beneath our favourite tree. When it was time to leave we hugged each other and promised never to forget our friendship. I went towards our home where grandma was already waiting for me, I thanked my aunt and uncle for everything they did for me after my parent’s death and we set off for Majuli, our new village.  It was not too far and grandma said we will reach their next morning. When we reached I was fast asleep, grandma woke me up and we were in our new house. It was a small house of one room, one kitchen and a hall. It took us whole day to arrange everything, me and grandma were very much exhausted so we decided to sleep early. We had dinner and soon were fast asleep. After an hour I heard some sounds coming from outside I stood up and looked outside from the small window. There were many people out there and it looked like something was wrong.

I went out to see what the issue was, and founded out that a boy was missing! Soon grandma too came out, she was  amazed too. It was like everyone knew about the girl in the field and was sure it was she who took away the boy. Some men came forward and were ready to bring the boy where some said we must wait for the morning. That is when my grandma came forward and said we must not wait till the morning or else we will lose both the girl and the boy. Everyone agreed to the words of grandma, some men came forth and decided to head towards field, grandma insisted everyone that I should to go as I have been a victim of this before too. I was very afraid but grandma told me not to worry as it will be the last scary night and then everything will be fine. I concurred to her and we set off to the fields.

It was a silent and swift night, only the insects could be heard and the footsteps stepping on the dry grass. Suddenly we heard someone crossing us from the opposite direction and everyone stopped. We waited for some time and again started walking, we can see the lake in some distance. It was an abnormal environment, everything seemed to be scary. When we came near the lake I was able to see the girl sitting there like I saw her for the first time. I shouted, “There she is!” Everyone got alert and said me to go be quiet and one of them pulled me back turned me around and said, “don’t look around, whatever happens don’t move.” I froze over there and the man ran back my heart started pumping and my body was shivering. I closed my eyes and I can see that  every phase when I met that girl and it seemed like forever. Then suddenly my eyes opened and there was moment of silent, only the wind was roaring in the fields.

Then I heard a scary long scream as someone was tortured to death and living the last breath. I turned around and only the men were there, I could not see the girl. The men approached me with a boy . We all started walking back I again turned around but the girl was not there.

We reached the village and the sun was rising. Everyone was happy that now nothing is there to worry about, everything has solved. I went straight to home with nothing left to say what I only  thought about was the girl in the field.
