Haunted By Unknown

39. meeting the dead

Arjun slumped on the bed and turned around to see his best friend sleeping on his bed peacefully. Everyone were tired reading the book or the diary of nandana who might be good at writing because her words sometimes pricked their hearts especially of the girls. Even he would have felt so if he did not miss his strong sister and it broke him to remember her dead body covered in blood.

It surprised him as he thought and thought because if ahe was already dead then how did she asked him to help her? He feared he was late and killed her but his friends were sure she was already dead in his hands. But how is it possible? He thought and thought till he drifted to sleep.

...........

"Wake up Arjun" sampath shook him. Arjun got up feeling slightly feverish. He ignored it and got up but felt the floor too cold. He ignored it too and got ready. Sampath took the diary out of pooja's bag and went out. Arjun followed him but checked himself as he felt his temperature rising.

Sampath was waiting for his friend to grab the book and rush to the corner table they sat before. But he did not get that reaction instead he saw arjun little pale and very tired.

"Are you okay? " sampath asked him.

"Oh yes" arjun said with a shrug. But sampath caught the change in his voice. He checked his temperature and realised his friend is ill.

"You are having fever!" Sampath said.

"My sister is killed" arjun said in his feeble voice.

"No it's not happening! You are going to take rest today!" Sampath declared. Arjun mouthed no but it is not someone but sampath and he dragged his best friend inyo the room and made him sleep on the bed. Arjun tried to grab the book but sampath made sure his sick friend doesn't get it.

"Sleep!" He ordered. Arjun acted to sleep but he used to open once a while to see sampath glaring at him. It happened for few minutes and arjun slept unknowingly.

Sampath went out with mohit and got the tablets for him. They were worried about their best friend and arjun's condition worried them more.

Jyotsna entered the room as she lost patience waiting for them. As she entered the room she realised what kept the boys from not coming to the restaurant in the hotel they are staying in.

"How is he?" Jyotsna asked them.

"We don't know" mohit replied.

"He wasn't eating or sleeping since her death right?" She asked them. They both nodded which made her sad.

"She would have told us instead went after that crazy ghost and lost her life hurting all her close ones. I have called samyuktha's mom yesterday and I think she's in same state" jyotsna said.

Sampath thought samyuktha too was ill and very weak. He remembered her state when they visited her few days back. Mohit got confused and asked her.

"What do you mean by she's in same state?" Mohit asked her.

"Aunty is not giving us any details. Three of us called her in morning. All we hear is her cries and then a man saying he feels evil in that house. I felt weird as aunty is watching some horror movie when her daughter is haunted" jyotsna commented.

"Atleast we will finish the book for him. He can't read the thick book again. Let's do him a favour" danush said. All the three turned back to see danush's half body inside while the other outside the room.

"Where? We can't be far away from him" sampath asked.

"We will read in next room" danush advised. All the three agreed and went to the next room.
