The Guy Next Door Is A Freak

5-The girl who went missing

"A year ago, there used to be another girl living in  502..."

"The room that I live in now?"

"Yes..."

"And that girl went missing and is still nowhere to be found."

My brows furrowed as I stare at her for further explanations.

"What do you mean by missing?"

"It's a long story..." She sighed.

"I have got all the time in the world today...so if you are up then"

"Can we meet back around 5-5:30?" She asks.

"Yes, sure" I answer.

"Cool then. Meet me at the park."

"The one behind this or the one that's close to the main road?"

"The one near the main road- we call it the elephant's park."

"Ohh that's cute"

"They have an elephant slide, thats why the name. That park is huge and very popular."

"Yeah the other one's mostly empty from what I saw. But hey, if you want to speak wouldn't it be better to go to the quieter one?"

"No...actually- Its empty for a reason..." she  in a grim voice.

"Oh, okay." I nodded without fully understanding.

"Let me know if you want something more" She smiles.

"Nah, I'm full. Thanks for the meal by the way. Next one on me!!" I say.

"Yeah yeah we'll see. Sorry, I wanted to talk a bit longer but as you can see customers are rushing in again" She sighs.

"Don't worry, we'll meet. But hope I'm not disturbing you"

"No no, one of my girls will be joining around 5 so I can finally catch a break when she's here" She says.

"Okay cool. See you then. And thanks again for the meal"

"Don't mention. See you!"

I get up to leave with a smile on my face, happy that I had finally made a friend here.

However, a small part of me couldn't stop worrying.

What did she mean by went missing?

That guy certainly sounds quite terrifying.

However, people tend to exaggerate mundane occurences everytime. So I should just take her words as a grain of salt.

But then again...

A fight...

Followed by a death...

And then a missing case...

That too in the room I'm living currently in...

The whole thing sounds very bizzare.

But then again let's not come to conclusions, first we need to hear what Shivani has to say.

I feel my heart clench slightly.

I can't help but wonder...

What could have happened to that girl...

I walk back to the apartment, the signboard reads- "Swastika Apartment"

Ironically, Swastika means "good luck"...when this place has brought misfortune to many!

Well if you think about it, Swastika was also the symbol used by Nazis during world war 2.

However, the first time I came here, this place was really like a good fortune to me.
