Chapter 7

All went to their rooms and come after getting ready for haldi ceremony.

Purab and Bulbul are sitting together and all are applying haldi to them. And are enjoying the ceremony.

But three people are confused and not able to think what is happening with them . Taani Rey and Vihan.

Vihan is confused as he is able to hear something which is scary. And he understood that it is connected to Taani . But how, he didn't know.

In haldi ceremony they called some singers and their team for the night. 

The singer starts to sing.

Movie - 1920-evil-returns

Song name - APNAA MUJHE TU LAGAA 

Link - https://youtu.be/KIzCpTA2p5Y

Anjaane ho tum, jo begaane ho tum

Jo pehchaane lagte ho kyun

Tum gehri neendon me jab soye soye ho

Toh mujhme jagte ho kyun

Rey feels that the song saying his heart out.  That how he met taani and  in very less time Rey feels that he knows taani from ages. 

Jab tujhko paata hai

Dil muskurata hai

Kya tujh se hai waasta

Kya tujh me dhoondu main

Kya tujh se chaahu main

Kya kya hai tujhme mera

Jaanu na main tujhme mera hissa hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu lagaa..

Rey remember how he felt complete when he was holding her in his arms every time when ever he saved taani from falling. 

Tujhse taalluk jo nahi kuch mera

Kyun tu lage hai apana saa

Dekhu jo tujhko ik nazar

Jaaye bhar mujhme hai mera jo khala

Zindagi me khushi tere aane se hai

Warna jeene mein gham, har bahane se hai

Hai yeh alag baat hai hum mile aaj hain

Dil tujhe jaanata ik zamaane se hai

Jaanu na main tujhme mera hissa hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga

Jaanu na main tujhse mera rishta hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga

He remembers swayam words which swayam said to the Saint that taani and he doesn't even know eachother. 

But he feels that he knows her in and out.

Aankhon ne aankhon se kahi daastaan

Tumko banake raazdaan

Baahon me jannat aa gayi khushnumaa

Tum jo huye ho mehrbaan

Jism se jism ka yun taaruf huaa

Ho gaye hum sanam rooh tak aashna

Ek zara jo chale do kadam saath me

Mill gaya hai hume zindagi ka pata

Jaanu na main tujhme mera hissa hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga

Jaanu na main tujhse mera rishta hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga

He remembers every time when they were having eye locks. 

He only think that time that her eyes are speaking something to him but can't able to understand.

Anjaane ho tum, jo begaane ho tum

Jo pehchaane lagte ho kyun

Tum gehri neendon me jab soye soye ho

Toh mujhme jagte ho kyun

Jab tujhko paata hai

Dil muskurata hai

Kya tujh se hai waasta

Kya tujh me dhoondu main

Kya tujh se chaahu main

Kya kya hai tujhme mera

Jaanu na main tujhme mera hissa hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu lagaa..

Jaanu na main tujhse mera rishta hai kya

Par ajnabi apna mujhe tu laga

Song finished and all claps for them. . That time only taani came out of her thoughts. Yes Not only Rey but taani was also having same thoughts. 

Taani moves upstairs. She was looking at sky and the full moon at the sky and thinking deeply.

Taani pov

(( Tani was completely shaken: very nervous. she doesn't understand what is happening to her ))

"Kuchh samajh Nahi aa Raha h ki kya ho Raha H. Jab se Yaha aai Hu bahot kuchh ho Raha h . Yaha aana Rey se milana aur jab BHI ham Karib hote h  wo Sare flashes AANA ...."

(A sudden current passed in her body when she thinks next )

"Aur un flashes Ka sach Hona..! Mujhe Nahi pata h Krishna jee ki, ye kya h . Kyun h. but I just want to know ki kyon. jab BHI main  Rey ke Pas jati Hu to mera Dil bas unka Hona Chahta h ?? .   mujhe Nahi pata ye Sahi h ya galat sach h ya jhut but unke pas Hoti Hu to bahot sukun milata h . Jab se Yaha aai Hu ek alag se baichaini Hoti h but jab BHI Rey aas Pas hote h to aisa lagata h ki koi h Jo mujhe in sari chijo se bachayega. 

Aaj Mandir mai Jo huaa usake bad......

suddenly she hears door opening sound. She turns around and find Rey standing there. 

The small bells on that closed door made some jingling sonund with the breeze.

She felt a vibration through her body, his eyes.., she know that deep eyes long before..!!

Both look at each other. 

Rey comes to her both are looking in each others eyes. 

Rey:- tum Yaha ??

Taani :- hmm bas thodhi Der akele rehana tha.

Taani:- kya Kiya Maine???

Rey:- don't tell me ki tum bhul gai . Us temple me Jo huaa. I mean how can you end up to reach their , in the middle. 

Taani:- look Mr. Mai ek bar bata chuki Hu jab Mai wah ja rahi thi tab everything was perfect but suddenly my mobile rings and then I noticed that I was in mess I ( she started to shiver in the mere thought of that incident, her eyes started to brim with tears)

Rey notice this and hold her shoulders and in no second she was in his arms. Rey hold her as he wants to protect her form this world. 

Rey :- arey miss attitude ko dar BHI lagata h. (To make her Calm he joked at her)

And Taani comes out of the fear zone and pushes Rey away and wipes her tears .

Taani:- tum Na ... 

Rey :- bahot handsome Hu . I know.😉

Taani:- yaah right... 😏😏

She start to go and he holds her hand.

Rey :- ummm taani I think we should talk.

Taani:- kyon miss attitude se kya bat karani h . 🤨

Taani:- hmm bolo

Taani:- tum tabse MERI bate sun rahe thy na .. you cheater chhup chhup Kar MERI bate sun rahe thy aur ab Mera majhak udhana chahte ho.

Rey :- tumhe BHI se kya matalab h ab. Mai bol Raha Hu 5 minutes MERI bat Bina cut kiye sun Nahi sakati kya

Taani:- 😡 ek to sun rahi hu upar se you are getting angry on me. 

(he closes his eyes to make himself Calm and then opens. And then says)

Rey :-  jab se Yaha aaya Hu tab se aisa lag Raha h Jaise Mai is jagah ko janta Hu . Yaha se koi rista jaisa lagata h . Kabhi baichaini Hoti ho ,, to Kabhi lagata h isase jyada sukun Kahi aur Nahi h .  Aur tum.... tum BHI mujhe effect Karti ho, god knows why, but jab BHI tumhe dekhate Hu lagata h I know you before . And tumhara Dara huaa chehara Dekh Kar lagata h ki is Puri duniya ko aag laga du..(Her eyes swift at Rey, they got into a deep eye lock....) (wind passed breaking their eye-lock) Mai bahot confuse Hu please help me

Taani:-  Mai kya help karu jab Mai khud hi itani confused hu. Aaj Jo kuchh bhi huaa Mai waha kaise pohochi mujhe kuchh samajh Nahi Aaye, all I know ki Jab tumhe waha Dekha to aisa laga Jaise Mai safe Hu. That sudden change of the atmosphere, tezi hawa, I am not able to understand any thing . Ab Na hi Mai kuchh samajhna chahti..Hu all I want ki bas.........

She stopped as she understood what she said.

Rey :- bass.....???? 

Taani:- kuchh Nahi (( ye Mai kya bolane wali thi Rey kya sochenge mere bareme ki abhi Mili Hu aur Mai chahti Hu ki we stay together forever. ))

Rey:- Kabhi Kabhi tum Na bahot mysterious lagati ho aisa lagata ki Tumne about Sare raaz Daba rakhe h apane dil mai . 

Taani:- aur pata h mujhe kya lagata h ..

Rey:-🤨

Taani :- ki tum ek number ke flirt ho. 

Rey:- what... I flirt with you...? (he looked at her) okay woh sab chodo.. Kya tum mujse dosti karogi? Ho sakata h we can solve this problems together. Wo Kaha wat h na "ek se bhale do" 

Taani.:- Hmmm, i have to think

Rey :- 🤨

Taani:- ok but I have one condition. You will not flirt with me.

Rey:- Not again. 

Taani starts to go

Rey :- ok ok... So friends.

He offers his hand for a hand she and she except with a smile. 

But her smile fade away as she sees the flashes that she is in the same temple and she lost in the forest that too in night . 

Same time at the bungalow the head less statue shake and an eco of creepy voice spread over- 

"Nahi ..... taani dur  Raho usase tum sirf MERI ho . Tum Yaha mujhe aazad karne aai ho aur tumhe mujhe aazad Karna hi Hoga, tabhi to Mai apana adhura Kam Pura Kar paunga. " 

And the wind became irregular  her heartbeats is faster than before and she feels something pull her back the winds are pulling her away from Rey but he holds her hand tightly but then she gets the flashes and she left her hand force fully . 

The wind stopped suddenly and everything was back to normal. 

Rey:- heyy.. you okay?

Taani:- Haa 

Rey :- pakka 

Taani:- haa I think we should sleep now its late  ..  goodnight

Rey got confused but agreed and Both left to their rooms and sleep. 

It's mid night Taani was little distracted so she was awake and thinking about the flashes. Suddenly she notices that Sharon is walking from room she was next bed to Taani but when taani calls her to stop but she didn't . She to goes after her. 

After some time she is walking from forest . Sharon is singing a song. 

Song name

Ajnabi hawayein bekraar bahein

Song Link

https://youtu.be/arpFDGrq0dI

Aa ja.. Aa ja

Ajnabi hawayein bekraar bahein

Ajnabi hawayein bekraar bahein

Tere hi sadayi aaja aaja

Manzilon ki raahein, chahaton ki bahein

Phir tujhe bulaye aaja aaja

Tu aaja tu aaja rabbon mein samaa ja

Pukare tanah dil tu aaja

Ajnabi hawaayein bekraar bahein

De rahi sadayi aaja aaja

Taani was calling Sharon again and again but she didn't stop . Aisa lag Raha tha Jaise Sharon ko taani ki aawaj sunai hi Nahi de Rahi thi. 

At the bungalow the head less statue starts laughing loudly and saying jao taani jaao aur jaldi se aakar mujhe aazad karwao . 

Sharon walking through the forest and taani behind her .  To is full moon night but suddenly it's become darker . 

Other side a Tantrik(who is with that spirit) is doing his puja and laughing loudly seeing his work is getting complicate he wants taani to come to him so that he can make taani read the words which is written below on the head less statue.  

Doondhe tujhe ab to tanahaiyan meri

Peechay peechay main aagey parchaiyan teri

Aise taise tootegi yaadon ki kadi

Saanson ke bandi hai teri saanson ki ladi

Zindagi ye meri hai amanat teri

Tu aaja tu aaja rabbon mein samaa ja

Pukare tanah dil tu aaja

Ajnabi hawayein bekraar bahein

De rahi sadayi aaja aaja

Manzilon ki raahein, chahaton ki bahein

Phir tujhe bulaye aaja aaja

By the song end taani turn around and found a creepy scary face who was standing very close to her . She couldn't understand what to do aur think just close her eyes and a Horrible screamed come out from its mouth and she started running she didn't know where she is going she was  scared to death. Winds blowing faster and Winds are so strong that some trees uprooted themselves and started falling in front of taani  making taani more scared .

She hears a scary voice singing the same song which she heard before some time. She is running heavily. Suddenly she stepped on something and she looked down and notices a shining thing in the soil, wind was blowing heavily and she was scared like hell but still something was pushing her to take that shining thing, she decided to take it, she was periodically looking around scared and stated to dig the soil a little as it was stuck in the soil, the wind is making the task difficult for her and with a great force she pulled it out and stumbled back but managed not to fall down, it was a chain with a pendent on it. she looked it for a moment. Wind became even more heavier.

She felt something grunting behind her, her fear came at its peak she shivered and slowly turned back, but find nothing, she felt that grunting sound is coming near her and she stated to run again.  

Suddenly the weather becomes normal. And she is not able to move.  Everything seems normal now. The moon is shining. she takes a deep breath to manage her irregular breathing.

Then she notices something, that, she is holded by some one, she looked up and find Rey staring at her with confuse and care in his eyes.

"So everything went normal suddenly as Rey is with me" Taani thought  

Rey :- are you mad or what dammit ? Itani rat ko yaaha kya Kar Rahi Ho kab se bula Raha Hu sunai Nahi deta kya ? 

Taani looks at Rey and then looked around her eyes becomes wide open finding both in temple premises where in 10 more steps she will again get trapped in the same place.. 

Taani takes two steps back in fear, but Rey hold her hand and pulls her to him.  

Rey :- what are you doing. niche gir jaogi ..... She looks back side and then Rey.

Taani move away from Rey and sit on the pane of the big open window of the temple and Rey is waiting her to speak. 

Taani :- Mai Sharon ke pichhe aai thi par achanak wo gayab ho gai. 

Rey :- taani tumhe pata h tum kya bol Rahi ho . "Gayab  ho gai " wo koi Mr India h kya Jo gayab ho Jaye. aur Mai tumhara puchha Forte se Kar Raha Hu  tum akeli hi nilaki thi Sharon nahi thi tumhare sath.

Taani:- so tumhe kya lagti hai ki mei pagal hai, ki raat mei aise bhaagne ki...!!

Rey :- Hey angry mat ho. I mean Mai Pani pine kitchen me ja Raha tha tumhe bahar jate Dekha to aawaj lagai but tum ne suni Nahi Mai tumhare pichhe aane laga . (She looks at him in confusion) Tumhe aawaj deta Raha but tum to kuchh sun hi Nahi Rahi thi fir Maine tumhe miss Kar Diya bahot dhundha fir Yaha Mili. ye tumhari favourite place h kya..  us din BHI yahi thi. He joked.

Taani :- That dreadful day has settled in my heart by creating an image, that still haunts my soul.

Rey :- achha to aaj Yaha kya Kar Rahi thi. Us image ki photography Lene aai thi.

She smiles little and 

Taani:- tum yakin karoge MERI bat par agar bolungi to .??

Rey :- kuchh Baton par Dil ko yakin hota h Taani  .  He says getting serious. Both shares a eyeslook .

Taani:- jab Maine Dekha Sharon bahar ja Rahi thi Maine aawaj lagai but usane Nahi suni fir Mai usake pichhe pichhe Jane lagi achanak wo gayab  ho gai aur jab Maine turn Kiya ....... (She stops and close her eyes in fear tears rolling down from her eyes) Rey comes to her and put his hand on her shoulder .

Taani:- jab maine turn Kiya waha par Maine ek ghost Dekha, bahot scary tha Mai bahot dar gai thi , I just close my eyes and starts running. Then i stepped on something and that was a chain, i took it some how and then heard a scary sound and again started running. Par achanak se sab kuchh normal hogayi, sari hawayen and ye darkness moonlight me badal gai  sab normal ho Gaya tha. Tab mein realize ki i was in your arms. (both look eachother's eyes)  

Rey still holding her  and looking at her. 

Taani:- aise kya Dekh rahe ho ? 

Rey :- taani Sharon Sahi kehati h tumhe horror books Nahi padhane Chahiye. 

Taani:- Maine Bola tha, tum Nahi manoge MERI baton  ko. (She starts to go.)

But he holds her hand and says

Rey:- I want to believe but taani, isake  consequences kya honge I  don't know. And I don't want to happen something to you I really don't. Achha tumhe chain Mila tha na wo do Zara . 

She gives the chain to him, it has a pendent, he tried to open that but it's not opening. 

Rey :- ye to khul hi Nahi Raha .

Taani:- now what

Rey :- abhi bahot rat ho gai h Fort chalte h fir kal Mai market jakar ise Kisi jewellery shop par open Karwa launga. 

Both reached at the Fort and Rey accompany taani to the bedroom  and she gets shock that Sharon is sleeping peacefully.  Taani looks at Rey and then Sharon

Rey gives her "I told you look" that he was right he saw only taani going out.

Taani:- wo Mai.....

Rey :- don't.... (He stops her to say forward) just go and sleep. Good night.

Taani goes to bed and sleep.

Rey went to his room and  Lie down on bed then took the chain in his hand . And looks at it carefully then put that in his pocket and sleep.

.

Next morning.

Rey went to jewellery shop and open that locket with Swayum.  

Jewellery shops owner:- ye to lagabhag 100 sal Purana h . Kahase Mila.
