Mahal

..♡19♡..

Piyali is sitting on her bed closing her eyes tightly.
She understood something wrong is going to happen with her.
She felt air around her becoming thick and she is sweating,

She felt someone's presence beside her and gulped down hardly.
" Piyali, What've you done, why you commit stupid things, what's the need to think about Sharmista and her story, can't you just mind your own business!" She cursed herself, but she heard a chuckle just near her ear and her eyes got open automatically in terror and within in a blink she climbed down the bed and opened the door and barged out running aimlessly.

Ranvijay's pov:

Ms.Ira Majumdar, I didn't trusted her story but when I cross checked it with Hasmukh version, it matched.
But how can I believe this Mahal is haunted, we are staying here but never encountered any unusual happenings or entity.

Its all villagers cooked up stories for their own entertainment.
Hasmukh said he also don't know any details about Majumdar's daughter, she is the reason this Mahal kept inherited to Majumdar lineage, then how no one knows anything about her, it's strange?

What happened to her after Majumdar's died, she is also a Majumdar then why this spirit spared her?
Maa, why she wanted to bring us here, it is her last wish that I should attain this Mahal, it is sure she is also aware of this so called terrific story, then Why she want us to stay here.
I'm unable to decipher maa's hidden agenda.
What she wanted to prove, does she want to show everyone that this Mahal is not haunted?
Yes, it can be the reason why she brought us here, otherwise I can't find any sensible reason.

That's means I will make sure this so called haunted story of Sharmista completely wipe out from Mahal's history.

I heard a thud at my door, what is that!
I slowly walked towards the counting my steps and opened.

" who's is it?" I asked but no reply came.

" Hasmukh, is it you?" I asked again silence.
I moved forward and something touched my feet, I bent down and picked up the thing into my hands.
I caressed it to understand what is it.
It is a candle stand, but how it fell down, I checked the wax and it is still little bit warm, it means it just went off and fell down, may be pushed off by some rat.
These rats! Looks like they are roaming over this Mahal more than us!

I'm getting sleepy, and as I'm going to step inside my room,
I heard someone calling Piyali.

Huh, who's that?

This voice is unfamiliar to me, who is that? that too calling that girl at this hour?

I came forward and observed the voice and started to walk in the direction from where the voice is coming.

" who's that?" I commanded.
No answer came, I don't understand who is calling her, and how can that person come inside, when the doors are locked.
Is he a thief or what.
If so why would he call that girl,
As well I know she don't even have any friends then who is that.

"Uff..!"

Someone bumped into me and shrieked loudly making me deaf as well for a while.
" ahhhh!"

I shut my ears unable to bare the sound.
After the shriek subsided, I try to understand what's going on.

" who is this?" I asked.

Before I repeat my question, I heard her my nightmare Piyali blabbering.

" Ran...Ranvijay....i saw... there...it followed me..
I swear it followed me.
It called me....e let's go from here, come....come....run" she kept blabbered, she really sounded worried.
