Happiness is at the door!!!
"Dad!!! Oh god !! It's s you !!"(hugs her dad)" I am so glad to see you dad."
What a relief it was!! My dad bought pastries for my birthday from a near by shop. It was 9:30 pm, time for all the guests to leave .... ( Everyone left). But something didn't leave my house that day ,it was the question in my mind about Satvik. That cute looking guy about whom I was thinking day after day ,suddenly came in my mind more...but for a totally different reason!!! I slept that night in fear and curiosity hoping for the next day to be normal.
I had to go for the school ,I got ready and everything. As I went out of my house, I saw that very lady who screamed at me that day. She kept staring at me in a weird way. I left for school in my bus. Swati was there, she said to me ,"do you know Satvik hasn't come to school yet?"Questions were building up inside my head after what happened yesterday. We were having all kinds of wrong thoughts. When our mind is this fucked up, time flies like a rocket!! The school was over ,we were going back to our home.Swati told me she will come to my place in the evening.
She was here... we were talking about what happened and we needed to find out what was wrong ...where was Satvik?? Why hasn't he come to school?? Was he okay??Doubts in my mind were building up. We decided to call his mom. We said ," Hi aunty!! Satvik didn't come to school ,is he okay??" She was like," what are you girls talking about?? He went to school ,I saw him go... he came back but he is not at home,he went to the playground." This wasn't a big shock he could have bunked school... boys do that a lot!! Then we decided to not think about all this and study because our exams were near.
While we were studying somehow Swati dropped her pen which rolled beneath the bed, I went down to take it out stretching my hands as far as I could, I felt something in my hand but it was not a pen which I pulled out. Fuck offf !!!! Nooo!! Noo!! Noo!! This can't be... it was the torch Satvik had and the one he left in front of the door of the old weird house. It gave me shrills... I dropped the torch!!! Swati was shocked as well!! She said," listen Smriti ,my mom must be waiting for me.. goodbye !! B bye!!She ran away!! I couldn't blame her ,anyone would have! I picked up the torch ,tried to turn in on, it wasn't working ...so I kept in on my study table upside down.
After having my dinner, I went to bed and was thinking about the torch, Satvik and all that bullshit ,with my headphones on. I was listening to some soft romantic songs trying to get my mind off those incidents. All of a sudden the window opened by itself, by the wind. I didn't mind at first, it was feeling good ..the cold ,fresh air! I was listening to a song from a bad movie but the song was a lovely one!! The lyrics at the moment was this "Bahut aayi gayi yaadein magar iss baar tumhi aana….. "
Just then the song stopped! I was checking what happened . Everything was fine, I got frustrated, locked my phone and put it aside. What I saw in front was mind blowing!!The torch was on..ln a dark room, a torch facing to the ceiling, turned on by itself...was not explainable. It wasn't the switching on of the torch that was creepy, but what I saw on the ceiling was!!!!
