"HAHAHAHA! SERIOUSLY! THAT WAS DAMNED FUNNY THING." I SNICKERED ON A CALL WITH MY BFF. SNICKERED?
OF COURSE, MY PARENTS NEVER ALLOWED ME TO TALK WITH PEOPLE AFTER TWELVE AT NIGHT. EITHER THEY NEVER HAD NO BFF'S OR MAY BE A MOBILE PHONE TILL NINETEEN. SO THE BEST THING I COULD DO WAS JUST LOCK MYSELF IN A ROOM WITH A SIMPLE AND ACCESSIBLE FAKE REASON OF NIGHT STUDIES AND TALK TO BFF WHOLE NIGHT. IT WAS AROUND TWO MONTHS TALKING TO THE MORON LIKE THAT. LIKE THAT? YOU KNOW-NIGHT STUDIES BY MR. TOPPER. PROBABLY FAKE TOPPER.
AND OF COURSE, FAKE STUDIES. MAY BE PARENTS ARE ALWAYS WITH THE THOUGHT THAT NIGHT TALKS ARE ONLY DONE WITH THE LOVERS. NEITHER I WAS COMMITTED TO SOME GIRL THEN NOR I WAS GAY. SO SIMPLY A HARD THING TO BE EXPLAINED BEFORE MY LOVELY DOUBTFUL PARENTS. HOWEVER MOM DAD WERE OUT FOR A WEDDING FUNCTION THAT NIGHT. SO A BIT EASY FOR ME THAT NIGHT. BUT....JUST A BIT! CAUSE' I HAD MY PARENT'S PARENTS STILL AT HOME. AND PROBABLY DAD INHERITED SUCH CONSERVATIVE THOUGHTS FROM GRANDPA. SO SIMPLY IT WAS JUST 'A BIT' EASY. ALTHOUGH, I MANAGED IT RIGHT. I WAS UNUSUALLY A BIT DROWSY THAT VERY NIGHT. PHONE WAS RESTING OVER MY CHEST ON HANDSFREE. IT WAS QUITE HAPPY AND JOVIAL THAT NIGHT UNTIL I HEARD A SCREAM-
THE VOICE WAS FILLED WITH A DOWNCAST AND GUILT SCREAMING AROUND REALLY LOUD.—(SILENCE)—NOTHING COULD BE HEARD THEN. "WHAT WAS THAT?" I WAS THINKING OUT LOUD. I WAS SURE THAT THE VOICE WAS OF TWO OF THE MEMBERS STAYING IN THE HOUSE JUST INFRONT OF OURS. THEY WERE CERTAINLY JOEL AND DAISY WHOM I HEARD SCREAMING. SOUNDED AS IF SOMEONE GOT A SHOCK FROM SWITCH BOARD OR A THIEF OR MAY BE A CRIMINAL ENTERED THERE HOME. VOICE DISAPPEARED FOR A WHILE. ALL WENT NORMAL AGAIN. NO SCREAMING VOICES WERE AROUND. I WONDERED IT TO BE A NORMAL THING AND I WAS READY TO CALL BACK MY BFF. I WAS JUST CHECKING HER NUMBER ON THE LOGS
THAT I HEARD THE SCREAM AGAIN. THIS TIME NOTHING COULD BE IGNORED CAUSE' IT WAS FOR THE SECOND TIME. WE LIVED IN THE COLONY FOR YEARS AND NEVER HEARD SUCH SCREAMING. RATHER STREET WAS ALWAYS SILENT AT NIGHT EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE PEOPLE LIVING NEXT TO US HAD FIGHTS AT THERE HOME AT NIGHT WHICH CAUSED LOUD VOICES AROUND THE STREET GATHERING EVERYONE. THIS TIME IT WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT. IT WAS A SERIOUS MATTER- I COULD HAVE INTUITIONS GOING ON MY BRAIN. ALTHOUGH I WAS SCARED OF THE LONG NARROW PASSAGE BETWEEN ME AND THE GATE AS ALWAYS BUT I MANAGED TO CONTROL MY FEAR AND BE A BIT COURAGEOUS- -(PLEASE DON'T LAUGH; IT'S ACTUAL SCARY)- -SO ANYWAY! I WENT THROUGH THE PASSAGE AND RAN TOWARDS THE GATE AND WITHIN SECONDS, REACHED THERE. A HUGE IRON GATE COVERED WITH BLACK PAINT AND SOME CARVINGS IN GOLD COLOUR. AND I LOOKED BEHIND TO MAKE SURE THAT NO ONE WAS FOLLOWING MY STEPS- -(I KNOW IT'S MY OWN HOUSE; STILL, IT WAS FRIGHTENING AT NIGHT)- -SO FINALLY, I OPENED THE GATE AND SAW A COMPLETELY DARK ROAD WITH A COMPLETELY DARK SILENCE;I DIDN'T EXPECT. SOMETHING WAS EXPECTED WRONG. AND WHAT I COULD FEEL WAS A TOTALLY NEGATIVE VIBE THAT VERY NIGHT. I TRIED TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THAT VERY MOMENT. BUT, ALL I COULD SEE WAS ANOTHER DOOR JUST INFRONT OF ME WHICH I WAS DAMNED SURE GOING THROUGH SOME STATE OF A NEGATIVE BEING. ANYWAY! I WASN'T ABLE TO SEE ANYTHING THAT SURELY PROVIDED ME HINT FOR 'SOMETHING'S WRONG'. SO I JUST WENT BACK TO THE ROOM AND JUMPED ON THE BED THAT THE SCREAM BROKE THE SILENCE ONCE AGAIN. 'DAMN! WHAT WAS THAT VOICE?" I SPOKE TO MYSELF. NEVER HAD ANY IDEA ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WERE GOING TO HAPPEN THAT NIGHT. THIS TIME I WAS SURE. SO I WOKE UP GRANDPA "SOMETHING'S WRONG OUTSIDE" I EXCLAIMED IN A HURRY. THE HELL OF HURRY I SPOKE IT IN ,SCARED HIM AS WELL. HE TOOK A SHAWL, COVERED HIMSELF WITH IT, WORE MY CROCS AND BRISKLY RAN TOWARDS THE GATE. HELL AGAIN! WHAT WE COULD SEE WAS NOTHING BUT THE SAME DARK DOOR INFRONT I SAW FEW MINUTES BACK. I WAS SURE ABOUT THE DARK MOMENT GOING ON. OF COURSE GRANDPA WASN'T. SO WE WERE JUST CLOSING THE DOOR AGAINTHAT WITHIN A SECOND APPEARED A BEARDED MAN I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. "SIR! DID YOU HEARD THE SCREAM?" HE ASKED GRANDPA. IT LOOKED LIKE MY GRANDFATHER AND HE ALREADY KNEW EACH OTHER. GRANDPA WAS ABOUT TO TELL THAT SUDDENLY WE COULD HEAR SOMEONE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR INFRONT. PROBABLY SOMEONE'S GOING TO COME OUT AND WE WERE SURE TO HEAR SOMETHING BAD. MAY BE SOMETHING WORSE!
OBVIOUSLY, NO ONE SCREAMS SO LOUD AT NIGHT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA OUT OF FUN.
THE VOICE HAD A FEAR.
