Prompt 1 :
Chapter 1
She was in her own house but it seemed very different. Or was it because of the pitch darkness? Why was it so dark anyway? They always kept the lights near the staircase on. Maybe it was a power-cut, although it was quite unheard of to have power-cuts in their area!
She stumbled around wondering where she could find some light source. The kitchen might have some candles. Just as the thought of candles crossed her mind, she saw one being lighted. Aah! Finally some light. But who was this lady holding the candle?
She called out to her twice before finally catching the lady's attention. She tried to talk to her and ask who she was but there was no response. Just as she decided to give up and find her own way around, the lady turned....
She freaked out and started screaming, " Aaaaaa Chudailllll, Devi Maiya Bachaoo".
He was taken back seeing her reaction.
She suddenly turns around and hugs him tightly.
"Khushi?! Tum theek ho? What happened? Why are you yelling?" Arnav holds her shoulders, trying to shake an explanation out of her.
"Arnav ji! That- that chudail is here! Devi Maiyya, it's a ghost!" She is at the brink of tears now, shifting closer to him for protection.
He then makes an amused face and turns her around. "There's no one here, Khushi. See?"
No one here? She thinks. But I swear I saw someone...
OK! I will get some water! By saying this, Arnav turned around with torch in his hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Khushi turned around to go to the bedroom, failing to notice the light falling on Arnav's back and came face to face with a person in a white saree holding a candle right in front of her. Khushi screamed and fainted.
Arnav rushes to hold her before she falls.
He carries her in his arms shouting for HP to bring the torch along to help them get to their bedroom.
After laying her on the bed he covers her with a quilt only to hear her murmuring , "Arnavji mat jaiye".
He lies down next to her. He brings her face closer to him and whispers sweet nothings to comfort her.
He place a soft kiss on her forehead giving her comfort and Khushi snuggle closed to him feeling safe in his arms.. Arnav smiled seeing her guesture.. in her unconscious state also she knows he is here with her.. then he got confused with her sudden fainting.. what's she saw that she got scare this much.. that's when something cought his eyes..
He saw one shadow near the window. Without any second thought he runs behind that shadow to find out his/her real identity.
Arnav moves out to the poolside.
He sees a lady swinging a chain with a ring like a pendulum
Arnav yells at the woman, "What the !! who the hell are you? How did you get in? What are you doing here? Security".
"Security??! Hahahaha!" She let out a loud laughter.
"Do you really think your security is equipped enough to handle this?"
"What do you mean?? And can you stop swinging this in my face." Arnav yelled for the security again but to no avail.
"Do you really expect me to believe you are a ghost or chudail or whatever. I do not believe in such stupid things. Now quit the drama and tell me the truth before I call cops on you." Arnav takes quick steps to grab his phone from the night stand but when he turns back towards the pool side, no one is there anymore.
He shouted where are you ? But didn't get any response. He is thinking now surely someone is trying to do some prank with him or deliberately someone is doing all this drama to take revenge.
He decided to look into this later - his first concern was Khushi right now. But as he turned back to go in the room, he stopped short.
Khushi was no longer present on the bed!
He said 'what the.. where the hell she goes ?
He is finding Khushi everywhere. But no clue at all. He frustrated and can't think also what to do. Suddenly he has an idea in his mind.
"ohh, I forgot to check the kitchen, I am sure she must be making a mountain of jalebis." When he gets to the kitchen, to his surprise Khushi isn't there either. But her dupatta is there lying on the floor. Arnav is really concerned now. " what the! where is this girl at this time of the night? "
Suddenly the corner of the Dupatta started fluttering. There were no windows in the kitchen so Arnav wondered where the wind was blowing from.
He bent to pick up the Dupatta but it slid away on the floor!
The dupatta moves away. Arnav sighs and bends forward to pick it up but it moves away again sensing his movement. He doubts something and turn around ignoring the Dupatta and starts calling out for Khushi, who is not in vicinity. From the corner of his eyes he could notice a slight move from the dupatta and without a second thought, he jumps on the dupatta landing on his shoulders only to find a thin yarn which is almost impossible to naked eye to look with minimal light. He grabs the thread and follows for its origin.
