I am basing this story in Las Vegas...but I guess, it could happen Anywhere...so here goes..
sHaNak HaLlOwEeN....PArt 1
TRICK AND TREAT!
Khanak woke with a start... her body shaking violently, drenched in a cold sweat..she had had a nightmare after a long time. She lay back and turned on her side towards Shaan, wanting to hug him tight. But to her surprise, he wasn't there..where did he go.? Now really scared and worried..since Shaan had never left her alone before,.. she got out of bed and looked around the room anxiously. She found a note lying on the nightstand beside her bed. It was from Shaan: My sweet little wife,.. tum sote hue itni khubsoorat lag rahi thi, ke maine tumhe jagaya nahin. Dad ka phone aaya tha..kuch kaam hai..mujhe jaana padega.. Please, sirf aaj ke liye tumhe apne aap ko akele..woh kya kehte hain.., anyways,...Entertain karna padega.. Magar mein shaam ko zaroor miloonga. Mera intezaar karna..tumhara,. sirf tumhara Shaan. Khanak smiled, Burthal, mujhe entertain shabd ka matlab pata hai..aapne hi to sikhaya tha..bhool gaye?! She felt much better now, though a little dejected without him.
She spent all day moping in the room wondering why Shaan had left her all alone in a strange place. She did not even understand what these people were saying. Even though Shaan assured her that they were speaking English..it was definitely not the kind that he had taught her. Shaan didn't seem to have any problems, infact he seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Why not, when there seemed to be an endless number of beautiful girls vying for his attention all the time.. But when they were alone he would tell her over and over that she was the only girl in his dreams.. and she had no choice but to believe him when he made mad and passionate love to her. She blushed when she remembered last night, his lovemaking had seemed particularly intense and fierce, almost as if he was possessed..š¤¢ Perhaps it was something in his drink..
She left the room later in the evening, bored of watching TV and decided that she should try to step out on her own..after all she was not an Alien,.. though she felt that way when people stared at her constantly. She didn't realize that they were admiring her exotic beauty and colorful indian outfits. After some initial hesitation, she felt bolder and strolled around the huge resort complex, which almost looked like a small city...a beautiful and perfect city where everybody was always happy, just like her. But not today, she felt a little put out and abandoned.
Later when Khanak realised that it was nearly 9pm, she hurried back to their suite, thinking that Shaan might be waiting for her. Instead she found the room empty... Acutely disappointed she went and sat on the bed where she found a large box with a note. It was from Shaan:..' Darling, looks like I missed U..aakhir meri rani sayaani ho gayi hai!, very nice.. I have to go out again for sometime. Maine tumhare liye ek gift liya hai...Please wear it tonight, sirf mere liye..please!! Aaj ki raat kuch khaas hai, main tumhe baad mein miloonga.. uske baad...hmmm..you know..
Khanak though sad at having missed Shaan, smiled on reading the note...and eagerly opened the cardboard box, wondering what was in it. Inside she found a lovely long dress in deep red. There was also a pair of the most beautiful pearl drop earrings and a simple diamond necklace with a large pearl pendant. Khanak's breath caught in her throat when she realised that Shaan must have spent close to a fortune on this gift, while she had spent all day thinking poorly of him. Well.., she'd make it up to him..she would do anything he asked her to, even wear an Angrezi dress, the likes of which she had never worn in her life and had never wanted to.
Khanak looked at herself in the mirror. She actually liked what she saw, the dress had transformed her into a beautiful elegant ..shehar jaisi smart ladki..nahin woman.. She saw how the dress hugged her curves, it fit perfectly, like a glove.. she blushed thinking that Shaan seemed to know the most intimate details about her.š³. Then she heard a knock on the door.
Khanak rushed to open the door thinking that it must be Shaan... Instead she was stunned to see two of the most frightening creatures in the world standing outside. Khanak opened her mouth ready to scream..when one of the creatures said: Hey, don't you recognise us, Khanak?..We are your new friends., Nikita and Sonam!! We are witches, you know, of the scary kind..Do you like our outfits?..š
Khanak couldn't believe her eyes..were these the same two teenagers who had attached themselves to Shaan and her, actually to Shaan ever since they had been here?.., but he had tolerated their attentions saying that they were just harmless kids having fun. Khanak broke out into laughter and smiled indulgently realising that these were indeed just kids!..
Nikita said: Awww..you look sick ( slang for cool), gorgeous, out of the world!! No wonder Shaan is craazyyyy abt you!!.. Ok, you know Shaan actually asked us to take you around tonight!! Its going to be a lot of fun..don't worry he said he'll catch up with you later...
Khanak asked: Aaj ki raat mein kya khaas baat hai?
Sonam: What is Khaas..ohh, you mean Special??..yaaa, tonight's very special becoz its Halloween!..you know scary, I mean Bhooton ki raat..yahaan yeh din Diwali jaise special hoti hai..Yes..
Nikita said: Ok lets hurry..hamein Khanak ko Haunted House, I mean Bhoot Bangla dikhana hai. Don't worry Khanak, wahan real bhoots nahin, only pretend bhoots hote hain.. Shaan told us, usne kaha ki tum badi brave ho, to tumhein wahan khoob maza aayega!! Come on..Khanak followed them out, a little disappointed that Shaan had left her in charge of these two burthals!!..
The girls and Khanak drove for some time and stopped in front of a large house, which almost looked like a mansion. Khanak was amused to see several other weird creatures, some funny, some really scary walking around..having a good time. The girls hurried Khanak to the huge front door of the house which was in total darkness. Khanak, a little nervous said: Are you sure, yeh sahi jagah hai?.. Sonam: Yes, yes..yehi jagah hai..andhera karne se, you know Atmosphere banta hai..
They knocked on the door and it opened right away with a loud Scrreech..making them Jump! But then the girls giggled, and pulled Khanak inside. It was pitch dark, so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of their faces and cold, really cold..with a stale, musty odor as if the door hadn't been opened in years..
A hand grabbed Khanak..she screamed!! Shhhh..Shut up!! Its only us!!..more giggles...this is going to be good!!.. Khanak, hold on tight okay?. ..
Khanak wanted to turn and go right back out., she was not enjoying this at all, but then where would she go alone... So she followed them along what seemed to be a long corridor. They started to hear strange sounds..some moans, groans, faint screams, eerie laughter and loud clanking and thuds. They came upon a large graveyard with headstones, when one of them started to move and out came a creepy skeleton hand... Khanak moved on quickly and saw an old dirt stained glass window,and through that a poor young woman gasping: Help Me!!.. as she strangled herself in a noose, her blood shot eyes bulging .. Khanak's anxiety steadily increased, her throat became dry and she felt numb with fright. Then she stepped through another door and felt an ice cold hand on her shoulder....
to be contnued...
I am hoping to post Part 2 tomorrow...this is somewhat off my usual track...so I hope you like it!!šš
