Nishir Daak (The call of Nishi)

Mother always cautioned that you should never answer immediately when someone calls your name. Let the person call once, twice, thrice. Then, you speak up.

She never informed what happens when you answer at the first call.

You are 12 when you hear your Uncle calling out your name in the dead of the night. The day has been weird with lots of crying -screaming, nobody telling you where is he, so you get up from bed, stealthily walking towards the door.

There was none outside. In the silence of the night your heart hammers loudly.

Then, you look behind.
