Irha replied, "She was very cruel, she didn't show her face to me, she carried me to a old house in a jungle, it was all covered by the bushes, such that no one can see the house, if any one comes there .She removed some of the plants at the door with a knife and opened the door, it was creepy and dark inside. She threw me inside the house and tied me with a rope, I was shouting helplessly, she didn't even turn back to see me, and left in a hurry as someone is chasing her. I was all alone in the dark and creepy house. There was no sign of any light inside, as well as, outside. It was the evening time. The place was so dark that nobody can see even in the morning. I was terrified and shouting for help but nobody heard me.
After a few hours she came back with some food and water for me. She said..."How are you my darling? how is your new house?"with a odd smile on her face though she covered her face with a mask I could see her cruel smile.
I was so much scared of her that I could not even talk to her, she removed all the ties and asked me to eat, I denied.
She shouted on me and said, "eat or die ! I don't care! "and left me there alone.
I was crying, for help, and I was worried about my mom and sister, and hope they will be alright. I was praying to God, to help me and my family. The night was darker and horrible, my stomach was growling with hunger, I tried to endure it.
After some time I was very hungry and wanted to eat something so I searched for the food she brought for me, as my ties were open, but, suddenly I was shocked !...
.
I heard a voice from behind, "Who are you? what are you doing here?" and turned around to see who is there. I found nobody around and searched here and there, I could not see anything, because of the darkness, " Who are you first you tell me"? I asked....
I heard the noise of the footsteps, coming closer, in the darkness. Then I saw some light coming from backside. There was an old woman, holding a stick in one, hand and a lantern in the other hand.
She slowly came closer to me and asked, "how did you enter my house? and what are you doing here? little girl !
"I said "I was kidnapped by a masked woman and she left me here alone." who are you? I asked her.
Are you hungry? she asked. I was so much frightened that I couldn't say anything, she came towards me and stared at me, I was so much scared, that I screamed, "go away from here."
She smiled at me and said, "don't fear, calm down, this is my house, no one can hurt you here, and she gave some cake and cookies and asked me to eat, I was very hungry so I ate up all. She smiled and went away.
It was very dark over there,. I searched for some light to find a way to escape from there, while walking in the room I struck my knee to a small table kept over there.
"Aah" I shouted, with the pain, suddenly the old granny appeared with a lantern in her hand and asked me, "what happened little one"in a soft voice, she came closer and sat beside me.
"Where were you hurt dear" she said and put some ointment on my knee, she was very affectionate, I was thinking , why is she living alone in this horrible place? where's her family?
She looked at me and said, "sleep in there on the bed, she pointed with her finger"and kept the lantern on the table, moved to go out side. I said, "stop, don't go please". She smiled and said, "Are you still scared? I said, "no" but..Who are you? why do you live alone here in this creepy place?
She said, "I will tell you in the morning, sleep now, don't fear l am outside in the other room." and she left.
I saw the bed it was neat and clean,as if it's a new one. It looked like a ghost house in the dark but now it's like a beautiful house like in fairytale.
I took the lantern and wandering around to see the place clearly, suddenly I saw a painting on the wall, It was so beautiful, there was a beautiful lady in a lovely ! dress and with a lots of Jewelry on her, she looked like a princess. l thought, "who is this lady,? the room was so beautiful! I was surprised to see the creepy house turned into a beautiful place.
I was waiting for the morning, so that I could get the answers for my questions and also a way to escape from here. I was finally able to sleep after so many thoughts, as the bed was so relaxing like some magic in it.
The next morning, when I woke up I was surprised to see the old house again, dark and dirty, there was nothing in there, no table, no bed, no painting ! I was in a shock who was the old woman whom I saw last night? how everything vanished overnight? Was it a dream ?
I was in a shock, suddenly I heard someone opening the door... "Hello baby! how are you? "in a pretty bold voice. It was her again, the cruel lady, "how was the night alone in the dark house? ha ha ha ! she laughed.
I was silently watching her, she asked again, "don't you know how to talk or what?" I asked her, who are you? what do you want from me? why did you kidnapped me?
She got furious, and shouted, "you need not know all these, shut up and open your mouth only to eat and drink, did you understand !"
On hearing her brutal words, I thought it's better to keep quiet, as I had no other option, until I could find a way to escape, I already had a lot to find out.
