The glowing sun, a crisp circle in the bloody sky started disappearing slowly behind the mountains.The sky lighted up with a golden and crimson radiance, glorious to behold but the fleeting colours of dusk began to fade away quickly.S
uddenly the car stopped in the middle of the way surrounded by the dark and thick forest.
"What happened?" Muskaan groaned rubbing her eyes and head as it got banged when the car stopped abruptly plus she was not wearing the seat belt.
Amanat, quickly got off the car followed by her sister and Lavanya with worried faces on her side.
Amanat checks the engine which got heated up and smoke started coming out of it.
"What the heck?" She coughs heavily while covering her face and fanning the smoke aside.
"I think we got a little engine trouble here, folks" Amanat stated."WHAT?" Lavanya screamed out loud and made everyone sleeping in peace wake up except the two monkeys.
Even the earthquake couldn't wake them up.
"What's going on guys?"Shahenaz inquired getting out from the car while yawning and stretching hands above her head and making her way towards them.
"Some problem occurred in the car's engine," Muskaan answered.
"Okay, Don't panic just search on the internet for some mechanic nearby. We'll find one." Angel suggested while moving towards them.
"Shoot! Hell no! Guys, We have got another trouble here." Sangeeta said gulping in and eyes widen in shock.
"What worse could happen now?" Muskaan questioned in an annoying tone.
"There's no signal here because the weather's not good and probably there is no tower nearby because we are middle of nowhere right now," Sangeeta said while searching for a signal.
"What we'll gonna do now?" Shahenaz crossed her arms and stomped her foot on road in frustration.
The darkness engulfed the sky. The eerie noise started coming from the forest followed by the wolf howling.

Muskaan's povA few minutes later we heard a noise of a motorbike approaching in our direction and stopped on the right side of the road, besides our car.
A tall moustached man wearing a black coloured outfit with rimmed spectacles having jet black eyes and brown hairs probably looking in his late 40s got off from his bike and slowly marched towards us.
"Do you need some help?" He asked in a deep voice with a cold face.
"Yes, we do sir, actually we got some mechanical trouble with car engine." Amanat sighted.
He stepped towards in front of our car and took a glance at the engine and checked its other parts carefully.
There was a deep creepy silence for a couple of minutes as he fully concentrated his mind on checking the machine without uttering a word.
The cool wind flowing was cleansing my cheeks and the black clouds above were threatening to rain.
"I think I can repair it".He looked at the toolbox laying open on the road as we thought to repair it ourselves.
"Pass it "He stretched his one hand out and grab it when Sangeeta hand it over to him.
After some time, he finished repairing and asked us to start the car.
Amanat Quickly moved in the driver's seat and started the car.
"It's working" she smiled widely and others join too.
"Thank you, sir," I said with a boxy smile playing on my lips.
Hmmm.
"My name is Manoj kumar, I live in a nearby cottage, If you children are looking for a place to stay and rest so, you can come to my house."
"No!Well, thanks for the offer. We are going to Araku and will stay in the nearby Sunrise hotel." I exclaimed.
For a few seconds, his eyes widen in shock as he startled a bit but gained his cold look later and said in a deep harsh voice.
"This road is not safe neither the hotel. There's a graveyard on the way which isn't considered a good fortune especially at this time and this DAY." He stressed on that word.
"What's so special today?" Sangeeta asked chuckling childishly.
"Today is Amavasya the blackest and darkest night of devil when the evil spirits are most powerful-"
"Not again. I am tired of hearing this bullshit." Shahenaz interrupted him in between and rolled her eyes and get inside the car, putting her headsets on.
"I'm sorry just forgive her, she's just a stupid kiddo." Amanat quickly apologize.
"I prefer you children, to go back to your home. Else, it's your choice."He said straight forwardly in a low voice and walked away.
The man spared a last glance at us then sighted, rode his bike and left silently.
He was quite weird something was mysterious and strange about him.
It gave me goosebumps.
"Everyone get inside the car it's getting darker outside I think it's going rain soon we have to reach to the hotel before night," Amanat announced and we followed.
We all hummed and fastly drive off to reach our destination.
Manoj's pov
These children don't know what they are doing they are digging their graves with their hands.
Huh.....
