Hope is something which keeps person moving on, it can be anything. For Vicky the orphanage children was his hope. Their smiling faces and innocence swept away all his miseries.
So from administration office he decided to visit the orphanage to see the children and spend some time with them. He headed towards the orphanage with a soft smile on his face hoping in mind that one day everything will be alright.
Seeing Vicky coming, children ran towards him in a joy as they used to do daily. There was soft smile on Vicky's face, but looking at the bandage near stomach area, all of them started asking questions.
To put an end to their questions Vicky said " I just met with a small accident while returning to home via my bike."
Then all of them demanded to play dodge ball once again, but this time Vicky was not in the state to jump and dodge. So he called a teenager boy who also lived in that orphanage and instructed him to go with the children to play the game, also to keep an eye on them that nobody gets hurt.
Vicky then sat on the bench at the corner in the premises of the orphanage. Looking at their smiling faces, he felt relaxed. Then he though of getting some chocolates for them. He stood up gradually and moved towards the bakery shop nearby. The shop was only 400 meters away from the orphanage.
He reached the shop and asked the shopkeeper to to pack 20 chocolates. He waited outside the shop sitting on the bench. While he was sitting his head was down, staring at the ground as if he has gone into sea of deep thoughts.
He was so indulged in the thinking process that he didn't realize that the shopkeeper has kept packet of chocolates beside him. Until a little boy came to him holding a small box in his hands. The boy touched his right arm to wake him up from the thinking process.
Vicky raised his head up, saw a little boy handing him the small box. Vicky accepted it and opened it right there. The box contained pastry (small piece of cake). Vicky moved his head little bit upward giving gesture to the boy that who has sent this?
The boy pointed fingers towards the shop. Vicky saw a beautiful women, so beautiful that even a married family man could fall for her and divorce his wife. Her skin was pale white with no imperfections. Her skin glowed in sun light, black hairs reaching up to the middle of her back like a streamed line waterfall. Her eyes was shining like rubies and she was wearing light pink one piece which hugged her tightly revealing the seductive curves. Only her two arms and slender legs where exposed. She was the combination of innocence, charm and seduction.
Although she belonged to earth but her morphological features contradicted as if she was from heaven. Vicky kept staring at her holding piece of cake in hand. At first she was looking at Vicky but as soon as she realized that Vicky was also staring at her. She swiftly moved her eyes away from Vicky and acted as if she was busy in some work.
Then the shopkeeper came and just for your information, she was the daughter of that shopkeeper. She went inside the shop and this sweet encounter ended here.
For a moment Vicky forgot about what he went through last night. Well that girl seemed like another hope for him to live. Then Vicky realized he has to head back to orphanage and he did the same.
Vicky came back to orphanage and he called all the children.
"Okay, time sup for the game and thats all for today" said Vicky.
"but we want to play little more" said children.
" Look at sun , it has started to set, also I bought your favorite chocolates." said Vicky
"who wants to grab the first bite" asked Vicky by waving chocolates in his hands.
All the children ran towards him and he distributed the chocolates to them.
It was the time to leave although the day did not start on a good note but it was ending on a sweet experience as Vicky thought about the girl.
Vicky mounted on his bike, kick started it and rolled towards his home. As I mentioned earlier the road to his home went through a patch of dark forest, so when he was moving through the forest, all the nightmare memories became live.
In order to pass by the forest quickly he raised accelerator to increase the speed. Even passing by the forest trippingly he felt anxious deep in heart.
And his fear came true as his bike began jerking and finally halted since it was out of fuel. In the emotional stress he just forgot to refuel the vehicle.
"what a mess" Vicky muttered to himself.
"How can I forget to refuel it?" Vicky thought in his mind.
On an empty street with merely supported by light , there stood Vicky and his bike. Now what else options did Vicky had rather than dragging his vehicle to his home.
So he got down from vehicle and changed the gears to neutral, holding both the handles, he moved along the path.
After moving a distance he saw a little girl with teddy bear in her hands. She was standing few steps away. When he looked cautiously, he found she was Jini, the girl from orphanage.
"Jini, is it you? what the heck you are doing here?" Vicky asked.
She then ran into woods.
"wait, Jini!!!!!!!!!!!" Vicky hollered.
Vicky knew it was too risky to follow her but at that moment he didn't had time to think and also the girl was orphan, so no one was there to look after her. So he followed her.
"Jini stop and come back, its too dangerous in the wood" Vicky shouted at the girl.
She moved so swiftly which was not possible for 6 year old girl, definitely she was either possessed or some power was luring her towards itself.
Then she just stopped at a spot encircled by trees. Vicky slowly moved towards her in order to grab her.
And oh my god!
Think of a devil and devil is here...…
It same shadow creature he saw last night.
