One night Maya was returning home from work... A loud thundering sound shook the surroundings
As a drop of water fell from the sky, it began to rain!
Maya struggled to take out her folder from her bag and quickly covered her head with it.
The rain was progressing, she needed to find someplace to shelter.
As she found a place to shelter herself...
She saw a stranger wearing a rag like shirt and brown pants with patches. He kept looking at her.. more like 'staring' at her...
His eyes, his eyes were the most unsettling thing about him. It felt empty and soulless, as he started.
She got furious and asked what was wrong with him?
There was no response. Just 'Deep silence'. He still kept peering at her with his blank eyes... This time she asked a bit louder .."Hey Mister !! What's Wrong?? What are you staring at??"
His eyes were turning pale white...
Now, Maya started to feel a little bit scared
She made a step back...
And the Stranger moved closer... So close that she could hear him breathe...
She had goosebumps all over her body...
He then gently smiled...
Soon that gentle smile became into a psychic one and abruptly he grabbed her neck
Maya: uhh ahh leave me alone ..get away from me!!!
Maya started to feel unconscious and could feel her face turning yellow
She put all her strength to get out of his grasp...
But His masculine arms had construed her throat such that it felt impossible to getaway
She started murmuring her last wishes as tears dropped down from her eyes
A watchman holding a flashlight and an umbrella walks by ..hears someone's scream ..and out of curiosity he shot the flashlight on the stranger's face...
The stranger started screaming and making weird noises.
Maya gasped loudly. It felt like an utter nightmare to her
The watchman asks, " Are u okay, madam Ji?"
being Terrified after the incident ...Maya runs away till she reaches a little crowded area.
She checks her pockets but couldn't find her phone. She realised that the phone must've fallen during the incident
She rushes to find a. Phonebooth nearby.
. She remembers she didn't even have money...She borrows 2 rupees from a begger and gets into the booth... She quickly dials out a number..
While still grasping to breathe
Maya: Ahh pick up!#?..
(Maya calls one of her colleagues)
On the other side ..the person picks up her call
Maya: Finally! (sighs*)
Rishi: What happened?
Who is calling me this late, What's the urgency?
Maya:.. Um Hi, this is Maya... I want to tell you something.
Rishi: Maya? U sound like u are scared...Are u okay?? Please answer me...
Maya: I- I love you
Rishi: What??
Maya: ..yes Rishi... Can u come to pick me up?
Rishi: Where Are u right now?
..Maya Looks around...
Maya: I don't know
Rishi: What do you mean by that ??
Maya: I was walking towards my house ..then
Rishi: Then what Maya?
Maya: I... I have to go
Rishi: Maya? Mayaa?
Ah, this girl !!
Maya drops the call as she sees the watchman who had saved her ..walking by searching for her...
She sees her bag and cellphone in his hand.
She walks towards him... She was relieved that she can get her belongings back
She goes near him ... Waiting for him to return it to her.
Unexpectedly he drops her phone and bag across the bridge into the river
She rushes to save the phone..but the water seems deep .. especially during the night
Also, she is not great at swimming
She looks around for that watchman but he had disappeared already...
Lost in the crowd she sat down on the street and screams at the top of her voice.
Even after her loud screaming and sitting in the middle of the road. No one seemed to notice her
.
.
.
The next morning, Rishi (her office colleague) drives upto her house..
To check on Maya. As last night she didn't sound well.
Driving through.. He finds a huge crowd gathered around the alley nearby.
He gets out of the car to see what was the issue
He is horrified to see a half-eaten dead body.
Of no one else but Maya.
