Chapter-6 Day out

"What about a outing Mrs Dixit??" Dev asked while pecking her nose.
Sonakshi, who was busy chopping vegetables looked at him with a glow in her eyes.
"Sure, I am eager to go around this heaven on Earth,"
"Fine," Dev smiled, "Get ready,"

The duo climbed inside the car and Dev drove it to the Dal lake, known for boating.
The boat they use there is called Shikara, which is so famous in Jammu and Kashmir.
The snow was descending down, making the atmosphere chill.
That was perfect romantic setting.
The forever dawn sky...cold and refreshing surroundings...
Sonakshi was enjoying things.
As the car zoomed on the pitch black and clean tar road of Kashmir, the breeze hit Sonakshi through the window, she kept open.
Positive and Romantic vibes filled the air.
Soon they reached the lake.
Due to God's grace and luck, the boats were available.
Buying tickets for them, Dev and Sonakshi climbed into one of the boats.
"Did you get the camera??" Sonakshi asked for which Dev nodded like an obedient lad.
Soon the boating began.
"Sonakshi," Dev called. She turned towards him with her hair fluttering in the slow breeze. A beautiful smile adorned her face.
Snap!!
A perfect shot.
Dev smiled.
Soon he was busy clicking pictures of his lady love who was posing herself in different angles.
The boatman smiled.
"Newly married??" He asked.
Dev nodded.
"On our honeymoon,"
"Achaa..." He replied back with a smile.
Sonakshi smiled at him.
"Bhaiya ji,"
"Yeah bhai,"
"Can you click pictures of us together??"
"Hmm, sure..."
Soon he clicked few photos of Devakshi.
"You guys look perfect with each other," He complimented while returning the Camera.
By then, they had reached the other side of the lake.
"Do you guys want anything to eat??" The boatman got down from the boat, "The hot snacks of this area is very popular,"
"Hmm...Few hot bajjis." Sonakshi said while licking her lips.
"Bhaiya??"
"Nothing,"
The boatman walked away.
"I love this place Dev, it's beautiful."
Sonakshi hugged Dev.
"Thanks for bringing me here,"
Dev wrapped his arm around her neck.
Bending his head down, He whispered near her ear,
"Guess what Sona?? This place is beautiful just because you are here,"
"Have your cheesy words with you!!"
Dev chuckled as he pulled her near and brushed his lips against hers.
Soon the lovebirds were lost in their world of love with Sonakshi's jet black hair blocking others from seeing the art of kissing Dev was teaching to his innocent and naive wife Sonakshi.

Munching the bajjis, Sonakshi was hardly concealing her blush.
Dev smiled at her antics while his Handley revealed the traces of lipstick he wiped of his lips few minutes ago.
Only evidence of the kiss they shared few minutes before.
The boatman rowed the boat back towards the shore, and noticed the romantic silence that engulfed the passengers travelling with him.

Dev tipped the boatman with hundred rupees before making way back to his car.
The car drive had the romantic silence continued.
Now a mild drizzle accompanied the couple.
"Dev..." Sonakshi began,
He looked at her smirking teasingly,
"Tumi ekdom impossible!!"
"I am impossible in many ways, want to know??"
Sonakshi smacked his shoulders lightly making him chuckle.
I want this happiness to last forever!!
💙💙💙💙

As soon as they reached the villa, a nauseous stench reached the nostrils.
"What's this??" Dev mumbled after covering his nose with his palms.
Sonakshi wondered.
"It's stinking!!"
Dev walked in. The stench became strong near the basement door.
"Let me check," Dev said while opening the door and climbed down.
"Be careful," Sonakshi said while lending the torch to him.
Dev made steps down.
The creaking sound was sending chills down his spine.
Few rattling sounds emerged from the left side.
Rats!!
Ignoring it, Dev went down till his feet touched the flat surface.
Surveying every nook and corner, he found nothing.
"Dev..." He could hear someone climbing down.
It was Sonakshi.
"Dev...Are you here??"
Sonakshi climbed down while calling him out.
Her footsteps approached him.
"Sonakshi...tum yahann kya kar rahi hoon?? Stay up."
He replied at the womanly figure in front of him.
She didn't reply.
Instead she lunged towards him with her face dangerously close to him.
That's when he noticed that it wasn't Sonakshi.
It was a charred face of a lady. Her face had a wicked smile lingering while her piercing gaze met his terrified ones.
"Leave my villa, right now you Indian slave dog." Came the order in a clipped British accent.

Sonakshi was pacing up and down the room.
How long will Dev take??
Is anything wrong??
"Sonakshi..." An eerie voice called out.
Sonakshi shivered.
"Oh Indian Darling..." Called out the voice, "Made of honey!!"
"Who is that??" Sonakshi questioned while looking around.
"Sona..." The voice called out.
It was clipped British accent. Sona could recognise.
"I am wild again..." The voice crooned, "Beguiled again..."
Shudders went down her body.
Where are you Dev??

Dev lost his voice to shout out for Sonakshi.
"Didn't you hear me??" She asked in a dangerous tone.
Am I imagining things??
Suddenly the woman disappeared or to be precise Dev fainted with darkness engulfing him.

"Oh my darling...why do you run away??" The voice laughed as Sonakshi walked towards the basement door which had closed with a thud few minutes before.
That had scared the shit out of her.
Dev is below.
"Darling..." The male eerie voice was cut off by a shrill female voice of equal eeriness.
"Rob, stop this..." It commanded.
Then the lights start flickering.
Sonakshi tried opening the basement door which was stiff as if sealed.
"Dev..." She screamed while trying to break open the door.

Abdul was returning to his home after namaz. His dad was following him closely while chatting with a friend of his.
Suddenly he felt the negative vibes surrounding him while his eyes fixed upon the villa.
It was calm and eerie.
Why do I get negative vibes??
Is my friend in danger??
