The Preserved Souls • Ongoing •

🤕A Horrendous Experience☠️

Waafi and all the guys were about to enter the deserted building when the seniors stopped them.
Ali, the seemingly leader had a horrible smirk on his face.

"Guys, we have a change of plan. This hospital rendezvous will surely happen. But the girls have a  better plan. So, we're going there."

Waafi was a little relieved. He was really worried for Rayna until now. This way, he could at least keep his eyes on her. He instantly stepped out. But the other guys didn't.

Hayder almost cried out. "Brothers please please don't do this to us. Don't embarrass us in front of the girls. Our impression will be ruined."

At that the seniors laughed out loud.
"Seriously, mate?! You're thinking about your reputation now!"

Ismail and the others also nodded their heads.

"Okay guys. I know what you're talking about. Don't worry. We will have fun, trust us." The shorter guy stated with a devilish grin.

Waafi didn't have good feeling about this. Something was not right at all.

"Come on, Miss nerd! step in step in!" Zara shouted at Rayna and she visibly squirmed.

She was not a coward at all. But being in a completely new place still was uncomfortable to her. Especially with these girls who weren't exactly a good company, that she understood well. Zara and Hania were joined by few more seniors by then. Now there were eight of them.

Naz gave a squeeze to her hands in assurance and Rayna also returned this gesture. Then she entered into the mortuary first saying 'Bismillah' under her breath.

It looked like a straight scene from a horror movie. It was afternoon, but still the hall was dark. The floor and wall were all dirty and there were a distinctive smell of something rotten. Rayna had a sudden urge to vomit.
She almost jumped when a cockroach suddenly passed by her. She had phobia of cockroaches! Gulping hard, she started reciting Ayat-Ul-Qursi at once.

"Hey, girl don't just stand there! Move forward and open the door in front of you!" The seniors shouted from behind. They didn't enter into the building till now.
Rayna moved her legs forward and tried to push the door. But it was a heavy metal door twice her size.
She kept pushing but of no avail.

"Hania, Zara! Has the drama started?!" Ali's loud voice echoed in the empty tunnel and everyone turned to look at him. He was not alone. All the boys had accompanied him. Rayna also stepped forward towards the exit and was a little relieved seeing Waafi among the boys. He was not looking though.

"Good timing Ali! We were about to start. Have you got the things?" Zara grinned looking at him.

"Of course we have. How can we miss such opportunity!" The pale guy standing next to Ali rubbed his hands together.

"Solaiman, don't just stand there. Come and distribute your boys." Hania hollered.

"Wait, wait!" A senior guy wearing glasses suddenly stepped up. "What about Dome* mama?"

Another senior girl wearing black shiny hijab replied,"It's already settled, Saad. We are not duffers like you!"

Saad, the specs guy made a face at her. "For your kind information, Zubin, this was our plan. You girls stole our idea! So who are duffers, everyone knows!"

Zubin almost lunged at him but was stopped by Hania.
"Oh stop it guys! We're doing this together, remember? Don't fight among yourselves!"

Then she looked at Saad and stated clearly,"Dome mama is slightly, you know-" She gestured towards her head referring him as crackhead. "So we just handed him some food and asked to come back in the evening. We don't have much time left. So let's hurry!"
