ZDMN : Of musings and daydreams !!!

Bhootiya store room.....

Hey guys !! Back with another OS. Happy Reading !!!

NOTE : Param is a positive character. Rawat is the PRF head and is in the academy, thereby making Karan to be pretending as Balli.

ACADEMY CORRIDOR

Sumanji, Chitra and Bala were just roaming around the academy corridor occasion being they were done with their training and classes for the day. As they kept walking through the long endless corridors they discussed stories they had heard growing up but they weren't just childhood stories of fun and frolic they were horror stories, part of them being made up and part of them being carried forward by the family over generations.

'Arrey Sumanji aapko patah hai humaare yaha toh shaam ke 7 baje ke baad koi uss bangle ke aas pass bhi nahi bhatakta tha.' Bala said as he ended his share of horror story.

'Bala yeh toh kuch bhi nahi hai. Sumanji ke pass isse bhi darawai kahani hai.' Sumanji said with a boasting voice.

'Acha toh bataiye na Sumanji aapki darawani kahani.' Bala said excitedly.

'Yes Sumanji, #creepy story batayiye aapki.' Chitra said even though she was getting a little creeped out by the bunch of horror stories that had been discussed.

'Sumanji batati hai, jab Sumanjo choti thi na tab woh apne saheli ke saath uske ghar jaaya karti thi dusre baccho ke saath khelne, aur uska ghar tha bhi bada aalishaan.' She narrated as they continued to walk.

'Ek dinn hua yeh ki hum sab aankh mai choli khel rahe the.'

'Aankh mai choli meaning hide and seek ?' Chitra asked.

'Arrey haa #, Sumanji aap aage bolo.' Bala said getting excited to hear the story.

'Haa toh hum jab waha bachpann mai khela karte the, waha ek kamra tha aur waha humme jaane nahi diya jaaya karta tha. Aur humne islke baare mai Sumanji ke saheli ki dadi se pucha. Unhone kaha ki waha uss kamre mai ek ladki ki aatma bhatakti hai.' Sumanji said.

'Ladki ki aatma.' Bala said gulping down in fear

'Haa Bala, uss kamre mai ek ladki ki aatma kaid thi, aur aesa kehte hai ki raat ko uss kamre se ajeeb ajeeb se awaaze aati thi, kabhi kuch girne ki ya phir kisiki baat karni ki. Aur phir ek dinn humne socha kyu na hum khud apne aankhon se dekhe ki woh kaha sach hai ya jhooth, jab hum raat ko waha gaye, uss kamre ka darwaze par lagaya hua taala khula tha aur humme andar se cheeze girne ki aur baat karne ki awaaz aarahi thi.'

'Aage kya hua Sumanji?' Chitra asked softly.

'Sumanji ke dost ke bhai ko inn sab par vishwas nahi tha toh woh usse kamre ke andar chala gaya, par jab woh bahar aaya tab uss ladki ki aatma ne uss par kaabu kar liya tha. Bohot tantrik aur puja ke baad uss ladki ki aatma uss ladke ke shareer se nikli.' Sumanji said and she sat down on ledge of the corridor wall as they hit the dead end of that corridor.

'#Spooky. Sumanji uske baad uss kamre ka kya hua?' Chitra asked and Bala nodded his head in agreement to the question.

'Uss kamre ko phirse tantr mantra ke madat se taala lagaya, lekin abhi bhi Amavas aur Poornima ki raat ko uss kamre se ladki ki awaaz aati hai.' Sumanji said.

ELSEWHERE

Karan was lying on the floor with his head on Monami's lap. It had been hard for both of them to keep away from each other, but it was more hard to meet in people's eye. Reason being Karan was posing as Balli, and no one knew Karan was alive except for Param, Monami and Batra sir. And hence they were here in the store room, spending some quality time together.

Monami continued to caress Karan's hair as he just lay there. That's when Monami remembered she had brought something for them. She gesture him to get up and handed him a cup.
