After she finished her works,she saw her watch.Oh my god it's 11:00 she thought.she hurriedly put her cellphone and all other things into a bag.she slung her bag on her shoulder and walked to downstairs.she is working in MNC company .she is in a well-paid job.mostly she leaves the office before 9pm. Today she was late because the new project work is started. she opened the door of company cab,sat inside it and let out a sigh.she smiled at her colleague ,who is also a co-passenger , during the travel to her home.she picked her phone and unlocked it.she saw 27 missed calls from a number.today I am dead .she called back to the same number.within a single ring her call was picked up. "Pragya how many times I called you why didn't you attend my calls" her maa asked in worried tone. "Maa I am so sorry I kept my phone in silent mode" "Pragya where are you ?when will u come home?"maa asked angrily. "how could be she is so careless.she simply said her phone was in silent .here I am dying in tension "she could hear her maa's muttering. "Maa I will reach home within 30 minutes.i will talk to u once I come to home.i keep off the call maa"she ended the call. mistake is mine maa. I should have informed u prior that I will be late .sorry maa for not letting u to speak because u will not end the call easily and I will never repeat it she regretted in mind for her mistake. After ending the call,she saw the low battery alert popped up in cellphone.so she switched off it and threw into her bag in anger. After few minutes The cab was stopped.her friend got out from car and bid bye to pragya. The cab started moving she felt chill due to strong rush of wind through car window.she took the shawl from her bag and wrapped around her shoulder. Suddenly the car came to a halt with screeching sound.the driver turn the key to start the car.he tried several times but nothing happened.He got down from the car, opened the front engine and started checking it.pragya took away the shawl from her shoulder and dumbed it in her bag.she got down from the car ."what is the problem?"pragya enquired. "I don't know madamji" the driver said still gazing the engine not looking at pragya. She decided to go by walk since it takes only 15 minutes to reach her home.she informed the driver that she will go by herself .she took her bag and started walking.
The closed shops,the deserted road and gloomy streets shuddered her yet she managed to continue her walk.She saw two men with liquor bottle walking opposite her .they stopped few feets before her."hey beauty why are u walking alone shall we give you company" one of them said with evil smirk.
She clasped her bag.Her palms and feet started sweating in fear.her eyes widen when she saw them coming towards her.her feet automatically starts moving in backward.she turned and increased her pacing.
