My name is Alan...Alan Mcgregor.
And this is my story the story that i'll never forgot not even in my dreams.
I was on my trip to my uncle's wedding
He lived in small village and it was a little far away from the city where i used to live
So i took the bus which was the only bus that used to go through that route.
But now if i think about it feels like.
It was a mistake!
***
“The bus won't go any further”the ticket collector said.
Why?What's the problem.
“I'm sorry sir but i can't. We have been told not to go any further on this road.”said the collector with hesitant.
Ah! O-okay no problem. I'll go on my own.
I said and started walking on that road.
How strange. I thought. Why he was so trembling while talking to me. Is there any problem here.
At that time i thought that it could be because he should've been told not to say
anything to strangers. So i didn't care a lot.
The road was silent like hell. There was an ere slience so silent that even my own footsteps felt like of someone's else.
There were no people on the road not even a leaf was on the road.
But what made it even worse was that there were no street lamps on the street.
And i didn't had anything as a source of light.
“What the hell No light?”these words echoed from my mouth on that empty road.
There were also some wholes on the road as if the road hadn't been repaired in awhile.
Now as i was getting into deep forest. I didn't know but my legs started to shake on its own.
At the place where the bus stopped it didn't felt like that there could be a jungle. This big jungle! There were only a few trees and some bushes on the side road. And i didn't knew that there was a jungle.
I was getting a little afraid this time. As it was completely dark in the forest and the cold when it flowed through the trees. It felt like the trees where laughing,murmuring.
The only thing that was in my mind at that time was that to get to my uncle's village as soon as possible if not then atleast someone with whom i could easily go to my village with. But it was impossible at that time cause it was almost midnight. And to find a person on this road was like finding a small pin in grass. I started moving faster than before at one moment i was like going to run.
With all this going on in my brain i took a glance up at the sky. “The moon” it looked so good up there just like a pearl in darkness.
“Uh? Hello?”
Someone called out!
I looked down in the speed of a bullet.
“Uh? Hello? Are you also going that way?”
He said.
I was so happy to see someone now. And said “Yes!”.
“Thank god! I'm so happy to see someone who could company me on this road.” he said with enthusiasm.
“Me too.” i said.“You stole my words.”
So we started walking together.
“What's your name.”he said
“Alan.Alan Mcgregor.”
“Oh!”
“Yeah. What's your name.” i asked.
“My name is Jean Simpson.”
“Whoa! What? Is it Jean or Yean.” i asked him
in a comical manner.
“No! Yean its the pronunciation. Its just written as Jean.”
“Yup! I got it. You have a cool name.”
“Ha! Thanks.” he said.
“So. where are you going?”
“I'm on my trip to my uncle's wedding.”
“I see.”
“Your perfume smells so good.” he said in kind of an absurd way.
“O-oh! Yea-h,Yes. That is my favourite perfume.” i said.
“ I also used this perfume.” he said.
“Why? Don't you use it now?” i asked him.
“No.”
He just stopped at that moment it felt like he frozed on those words.
“Anyway!” i changed the topic.
“Sooo. Where you going?” i asked.
“ I'm going home.” he said.
So talking like this we almost completed some miles. I looked at my watch “2:30” i was late. I told him we should walk fast now. And he gave me a slight glance and we started walking fast.
I was almost close to my village and i could see lights coming out from my village and also sound of music. I was really very happy.
And suddenly!
“Do you have a cigarette?” he asked
“No. I don't smoke.” i said
“ No problem.” he said
“ Do you have a lighter or anything.” he asked me again.
This time i was a little irritated so i said
“No. Bro i already told you i don't smoke.”
“I'm sorry.” he said
As i came to the end of the road. Where There was a little wide area.
I was a little away from him and that boy Jean was behind me.
And when the lights of the moon directly fall on the road. I was able to see my shadow on the road. But that boy Jean who was behind me he's shadow was nowhere to be find.
It felt like a knife had been stabbed into my heart. I didn't dare to look back.
All that time i was walking and talking with something that...that.
Next day... I woke up in a nearby village hospital. I didn't remember anything whatever happened that night.
I asked the nurse what am i doing here she said
“You were found on the street with a knife stabbed in your chest and you were bleeding.”
Thanks for reading. I appreciate that.✌
