EP2

As soon as she reads the message, Ayesha’s heartbeat instantly speeds up. She wants to turn back and look behind her, but she does not have enough strength in her body to turn around and look. With a trembling and shivering body, she slowly turns back and sees that her husband is still sitting right there on the bed, looking at her with an artificial, fake smile on his face.

​"What happened, Ayesha? Is everything okay?"

​She now wants to escape and run away in some way or another so that the shadow, which is in the disguise of her husband, does not even find out. He is sitting there, continuously staring at her. She stops for a single second and then suddenly runs toward the door.

​Reaching downstairs, what she sees makes her eyes freeze in shock, and her hands begin to shake out of pure terror. Because the husband—meaning the shadow whom she had just left upstairs in the room—is standing right there downstairs in front of her, looking at her. His smile is such that looking at it makes the heart tremble. Her brain becomes completely numb.

​Just then, her husband asks her:

"Ayesha, who were you talking to upstairs?"

​Suddenly, the windows start banging loudly. The things in the room begin to fly around, and an atmosphere of sheer terror is created. Where just a short while ago only the sound of heartbeats could be heard, now there is so much noise that it feels like the eardrums will burst. She hears the sound of someone else’s footsteps coming from behind her.

​What does she see when she looks back?

Behind her, another lookalike husband is standing there, glaring at her.

​Ayesha is trapped terribly. Both shadows, who are in the form of her husband, start laughing loudly. Their voices echo throughout the entire house.

​Ayesha screams:

"Stop it, now this is too much!"

​Saying this, she pushes the shadow standing in front of her and runs outside into the heavy rain. She does not know where she is going; she just keeps running down a path. Her breath starts to fall short.

​After running for some time, suddenly a swamp appears in front of her. She does not understand what she should do. Behind her, death is waiting for her, and in front of her, trouble has trapped her. Just then, she sees a car coming toward her. She thinks that now she will be saved. The car comes closer.

​"Help me, I am in great trouble," Ayesha says to the man.

​The glass window of the car slowly rolls down. What she sees makes her soul almost leave her body. Inside the car, the exact same shadow-husband is sitting, looking at her, and he says again:

​"Ayesha, who were you talking to on the phone?"

​That shadow comes out of the car. Suddenly, there is a flash of bright lightning. That light is so bright that what Ayesha sees inside that light makes her feel that everything is over now. Her husband’s terrifying and scary face becomes visible. His eyes are red, and drops of blood are dripping from those eyes. Because of anger, his face looks even more horrific. There is only one question on his tongue:

"Who were you talking to on the phone?"

​Ayesha thinks of running forward. As soon as she steps into the swamp, her foot starts going inside, as if someone is pulling her downward from within. She starts screaming:

"Help, help, help..."

"Is anyone there? Help me!"

​She was trying helplessly to get out. But all her efforts are unsuccessful. Suddenly, she stops. She hears the sound of someone's footsteps. Her gaze goes forward. A man is standing there wearing a black coat and a hat on his head. There is darkness toward his face. Despite trying a million times, she cannot see the man's face.

​Then, crying and fearing, she says to him:

"Help me."

​The boy points toward the front with his finger. The girl looks there, and there is a car parked. Suddenly, she feels that the swamp has disappeared from there. There is only a little bit of mud left over there. She is still thinking about where the swamp went, when suddenly she feels that the shadow has also disappeared. She starts looking here and there in worry and fear.

​Then, she hears a heavy voice:

"If you want to come, then come."

At that time, she does not listen to his voice carefully. She runs and sits inside his car. The car starts.

​She notes that the person she is sitting with is very silent. There is so much silence in the car that she can hear her own breaths. Breaking that silence, she asks:

"How did you come here all of a sudden?"

​The man gives no answer. Ayesha asks another question:

"Is your home nearby?"

​The man only nods his head. She becomes quiet. She has no more questions now, or you could say she is still scared and frightened. The car keeps moving without stopping. The girl tries to look outside the window. But the rain outside is so heavy that nothing is visible. She feels as if someone is sitting in the back of the car as well. She looks behind, but there is no one there. The girl thinks it is probably just her imagination.

​She looks outside again. Now the rain has decreased compared to before. The roads are starting to become slightly visible to her. The man is still sitting next to her, driving the car. She now starts to feel sleepy. She begins to doze off. Suddenly, she looks outside again, and seeing the view outside makes her soul tremble.

​The environment outside is extremely horrific. There are huge, tall trees everywhere. There is fog and mist all around, surrounding the car. It feels as if she has entered a horrific and haunted jungle where not even a bird has visited for years.

​In a trembling voice, she asks the man:

"Wh-what place is this?"

​The man gives a horrific smile and gives no answer at all. The girl thinks there is probably no point in talking to him. The girl starts getting angry:

"After all, what place is this? Why don't you tell me? Where are you taking me?"

​The man says in a heavy voice:

"You will find out in a little while."

​There is silence and depth in his voice. Hearing his voice makes the girl panic. She is still wondering what trouble is waiting for her now, when the car stops with a sudden jerk.

​Seeing the scene in front of her, she falls into such terror that her hands begin to shake. Her eyes look like they are about to pop out from fear. She had not even imagined that the coming trouble could be this horrific. Her blood freezes. She wants to speak, but it is as if her voice is stuck in her throat, and despite trying a million times, she is unable to speak...
