Ek Ajnabee Haseena

chapter 16

Purvi, stood by the window of her hotel room, looking at the breathtaking view of the hills. She looked over at the inn in front of the hotel, a window of a room was visible, as she noticed ajay standing there. He looked around only to find her looking at him, as he just smiled and waved, and purvi reciprocated, immediately running away from there.

She walked over to the nightstand by her bed, where a jug of water was placed, as she started to pour water into her glass, and started to gulp it down, only to feel like there was something in her mouth, as she placed her hand in her mouth, as she found something soggy, she slowly started to take it out, only to find a note had came out, stating, 'i am back..'. She threw it away in horror, as a panic started to take over her.

***

Purvi, scared, walked over to the bathroom, as she grabbed the steel jug she poured water from. She slowly slid the door open, only to find the bathroom completely empty. She still walked around, just to be sure, her eyes always behind her back.

She came out of the bathroom, sighing in relief, as she shut the bathroom door close, and kept the jug back, when suddenly the door to her room opened.

She screamed in horror, tip-toeing her way to the door, shaking, only to find no one. She immediately shut the door close.

She ran to jump on her bed, cuddling herself inside the blanket, as she grabbed hold of the jug tightly.

***

Purvi, woke up to the sound of the jug falling on the floor, as she realised she had dozed off an hour ago. She woke up, rubbing her eyes, and getting out of the bed, to pick up the jug, when her phone rang.

She picked it up, to receive it, only to find the name 'ajay', flash on the screen. She threw away her phone, gasping in horror.

She immediately ran to her window, only to find ajay there, as the horror started settle inside her.

Kavin came inside with a tray containing plates of food, as he found purvi crawling to every diagonal of the bed, and looking inside.

"purvi? Kya hua, chapal phirse chali gayi andar?" asked kavin, keeping the tray aside, as purvi looked at him with horror.

Kavin kneeled down to her, looking at her with concern, as she just handed him over the note, suffice to set the tear inside of him too, just like her.

"woh aa gaya hai....woh bilkul hamare paas hai, woh, woh maar dega humein kavin!" exclaimed purvi, as kavin shook his head, grabbing hold of her shoulders.

"nahi, purvi, main kuch nahi hone dunga humein...main, main, kuch karta hoon..." assured kavin, as purvi just covered her forehead.

"hum kart oh chuke hain joh karna tha..." stated purvi, as kavin looked at her nervously, a guilt looming over him, knowing exactly what she was talking about.

***

A deep blue sea, waving back and forth, nothing but the sky visible on the top of it. purvi, walking over peacefully, playing with her feet on the sand, letting the wave feel her toes. She breathed in the air, a serene calmness rested in her. suddenly, she felt something on her feet. She looked down to find an arm, with blood on it. before she could even let out the frightening scare inside of her, she saw a man, with a blood punctured face, letting out his hand, and pulling her down ocean in one move.

Purvi, got up, gasping in fear, breathing heavily.

The storm was just around the corner.
