LIVING-ROOM – Unusual Short Story
After enjoying honeymoon trip newly wed Amit and Neha shifted in their own newly constructed flat. Their life was moving smoothly and they were very happy with their life. As time passed Amit became very busy in his office work and Neha used to spend her time with books and TV like any other house wife.
One day Amit had lot of work and was coming late in night. Neha was waiting for him, watching TV. All of sudden she heard a sound of dhum-dhum.. as if someone playing football on her roof. She thought of bachelors upstairs might be playing and she tried to avoid the sound. After sometime she felt loudness becoming horrible, and once again she thought it to be just effect of her TV shows and nothing else. After half an hour her husband came back.
Next evening when Neha was again, waiting for her husband, reading novel deeply, she felt her sofa was moving… and for first time she was scared…. but after few seconds she threw her fear and started reading novel. As time was going she got a message from her husband that he would be late tonight. It was 9:30 when her doorbell rang; she opened the door but nobody was there. After half an hour she heard same type of sound as she heard last night. But this time it was increasing badly and for first time she was unable to control her fear… now she ran in her bedroom but there was no sound. Her bedroom was very calm, so she decided to wait her husband in her bedroom only. When Amit came Neha stated crying and she told what was happening with her. As Amit was already troubled by his work load and boss so he didn’t give more response.
Day by day time was moving and Neha became more depressed and tortured by those horrible sound. Again one night Amit was coming very late due to his office party. So Neha decided to spend her time in bedroom. As she was busy in her work she heard crying voice of a girl downward. Neha went to balcony and looked down but nobody was there. Then she sat on sofa and started watching t.v. After some time she felt that train was running inside the wall and walls were vibrating badly accordingly to train speed. She became afraid by this walls movement, as it was only 8:30pm she opened the door and knocked her neighbour’s door. After some usual talk Neha asked to her neighbour about happening . At first her neighbour denied..but after some time she accepted that some strange things were also going in her house. After spending some time with her neighbour she came back in her flat. After one hour Amit came and again Neha told about her talk with neighbour. As Amit was in nice mood so he tried to convince Neha that everything was fine …
At night 2:30 Amit was feeling thirsty so he went or water, as his kitchen was attached with his living room so he started watching t.v. Atfer sometime Amit felt that he was seating at the back of a big anaconda, his sofa was moving like that. For a minute he was numbed because he faced fear that his wife was facing from so many days.
Now he lit the bulb and came in bedroom. Next morning Amit apologized for his misbehaviour and told Neha about living room. They decided to discuss it with their parents. Their parents had mixed response, their father scolded them while mother’s became worried about them. After two days Amit mother called them and asked to send some mud of their apartment area. Neha send some mud of her apartment to her mother in law. When mother in law’s pandit took that mud he was able to feel the fear of that mud. The pandit told them that in construction period of apartment a little girl fell down from 7 floor and she died on spot , but nobody did her last rituals so her soul was moving and troubling them. Pandit advised them for special havan in that area. Amit and Neha followed panditji and did that havan. Now they are happy and relaxed.
