Call from a dead

Was he depressed?

Around 10 pm that night

It was a pretty dark night , as there was no sign of moon anywhere in the sky . I could hear the  howling sound of wind . I could hear the birds chirping,  maybe their nests were being affected by the wind.  . I was concentrated to that chirping sound with the hope that they'll be alright . And at same  time , I heard some footsteps outside my window . It made my heart pause for a second , and it started  beating more  faster as the footsteps could be heard moving closer . It sounded like heavy boots ,like the ones we use in our farms . Who ever was wandering outside seemed like it was searching something.  But the real question is who will be searching anything inside in our property?

After some minutes of panicking , I again lost my shit when someone knocked on my door . That knocking sound literally made my heart feel heavy and I was about to faint . But during the second knock , I heard someone calling my name.  It sounded like my baba's voice . So without any hesitation,  I opened the door.
I was shocked to see him at my doors ,knocking on my doors . I thought they might have also heard the sound of footsteps and were worried about me that he came in my room to make sure I was okay.  But it didn't happen. He was going through another thing in his mind . I could clearly see his disturbed face and shaking of his hand without any reason .

With a frightening voice *

Baba -  I want you to sleep with your Mamu tonight as I'll be sleeping in your room

Me - but I can't sleep in another bed . I usually dont get proper sleep in another bed .
 
Baba - I need some peace shit today . Dont return your words for my decisions.  Alright ?

I didn't say a word . I just stood there with full dilemma thing going in my mind . He was just acting as if he was cool with this , but I could see in his face how fucked up he looked .

Baba - I'll be fine .

Me -what ?  *totally shocked *

Baba - I said I'll be fine just go to sleep as it is getting late .

Maybe he noticed me that I was standing and staring him without blinking my eyes . He started to make my bed as it was little bit dirty . Little dirty for me but  for others it was a whole lot of mess . But the scenario was more messed up than my bed  . Unusual sound of footsteps and  now my my father who is acting weird all of sudden . He was trying to pull the bed cover out of  the bed and I thought he was going to remake the bed but I was wrong .

Everything felt normal for me . So ,I thought nothing  much and went straight to their room . Where mamu  was still awake , still thinking about the problems going  with  him I guess . She asked me about the things baba might have discussed and shared with me . But nothing was being shared between him and me . And thats sad . We were supposed to hold for each other through any ups and down cause we were a family . Even if i knew that he was acting insane since days ago , i didn't ask a thing , all I thought was it happened because of their problems with each other .  

Mamu told me to sleep as it was getting late . But I knew she was up to something. She looked sad , looked like she was holding something within her , something suspicious.  I wanted to tell her about the footsteps I heard before baba came to my room . But I decided to say nothing as she was not interested in my words rather was focused in her own thoughts . So ,I decided to sleep . Minutes gone by, still trying to sleep as I was getting uncomfortable with the bed . I was trying  to fall asleep when a scream woke the shit of myself.  It was a scream that anyone would be scared of , which  was coming out from my room following the sound of giggling.
