Dark cage

Ep 4

After a walk to the park i signed in relief when I saw the glimpse of a familiar dark brown wooden door and the name plate having golden engraves of Mr Anant Ahuja and Mrs Roshni Ahuja

it was scary to walk on a dark street alone where you only have street dogs for company and twinkling stars for the view and a creepy feeling in your bons that someone is behind you and is keeping eye on your every teny tiny step and to make my heart beat worse my mind start replying all those horror movies scenes that I have watched in my 22 years old life

Pulling out the door keys for my pocket and unlocked the door when my eyes fell on black envelope resting on the thick door mat in front of the door bending down and picked it up and began to step inside when I heard a cold voice

" Do you remember the words you said when asked for permission?....
You said you won't be late,you will return in 30 mins now look at the time" maa said pointing at the off white wall clock hanging on the wall on my left side

" Sorry maa i didn't realise when the time flew"

" I have kept a glass of warm milk on your night stand, drink it and go to sleep, don't forget you have to go to school tomorrow " i looked at her face which was masked with fack coldness and I smiled saying

" Okey, good night maa "

" Good night" maa went to her room not after kissing my forehead

After drinking milk and taking a relaxing bath I drifted to the dream land

...........next morning...

I woke up with the sweet voice of my mother like yesterday and went to the bathroom

I came out of the bathroom wrapping a soft pink towel around my body which reached till my mid thigh and started looking for an outfit in my closet and I took out a blue anarkali when my eyes fall on a-

" Shit why I kept it here i would have lost it if I hadn't seen it " I said opening that black envelope and unfold the paper in it , the first thing catch my eyes was a word writing in dark red bold letters " BUTTERFLY"

" Butterfly?" I said confused at the
weird nickname and began to read forward

" Night is dark
My love too "

"Dark like your eyes
When I stare at you"

"A lover
A stalker
A admirer "

" What ever I am to you "

"You are only mine
And I am your too"

" In a dark night
Like your hair
I will steal you "

" Uhhhh " I sucked a deep breath my hands began to tremble in fear and the paper slipped out of my hand and fell near my feet

Stare at me? Stalker? Steal me?
Does that mean some one was stalking
Me ? The crack of twig in the park
was it him?

" No-no maybe i am over thinking
May be someone is trying to pull my leg " what if not? what if it's true?
what if he really came to steal me?
warned my subconscious self

"Shut up- shut up stop over thinking
Stop it's nothing ,nothing" I tried to make my self understand but somewhere deep in my heart I was really terrified

"Tara "
