Chapter 3 Uninvited Guest

Pooja instantly wakes up with a jerk sweating profusely. She finds herself sleeping on bed. She is perplexed about the dream because everything seems so real. She is skeptical whether it's just a horrible dream or something else. While she is contemplating she heard a knock same like in dream. Pooja is frightened to budge even a bit she asks "Who is at the door?". No response. Pooja takes a knife and opens the door. She saw no one and holds her mouth frightened. Suddenly Kabir comes out laughing hysterically. "Pooja I thought you are brave. Look at your face you are scared like you have seen a phantom". Pooja hits him "Stop it Kabir. You scared me to hell. You and your level of stupidity".

Pooja sits on bed puzzled. Kabir notices jitters on her face and apologizes to her. "I am sorry I won't do it again". Pooja shares her dream and says "Its worsen than a nightmare Kabir.It feels so real". She holds his hands tightly out of fear.Kabir wait I will clarify your doubt. He checked the wardrobe "See nothing is inside". Then his eyes fell on the book. He says "Its all because of this. When you read such horror books you mind will hallucinate such things only. First stop reading such genres". He put the book in last drawer and closed it. Pooja still seems upset. He gives a glass of water and asks to relax first. He holds her hands "Are you still thinking about the dream. Ok if you are sacred then I will stay with you here". Pooja smiles and says "Thank you". Pooja and Kabir are lying on bed facing each other. He tries to divert her mind and says "I didn't know about the advantage of scaring you earlier itself else i would have tried long back" in a teasing tone. Pooja chuckles and says "Stop it. I allowed to sleep here just for today. Don't dream about anything else". Kabir says "I haven't so far but after your warning I feel like doing something" with a naughty smile. Pooja blushes and says "Kabir!  Stop it. I am feeling extremely tired and sleepy. So "Good Night". She turns the other side giggling.Kabir is satisfied to know her mind diverted from that dream. He then moves towards her and cuddles her from back. "Nevermind We will think of it some other day baby". He kissed her and dozed off. Pooja is sleeping peacefully in his embrace leaving behind everything. While a dark horrible image is standing near the table looking at them with firece eyes.

Next morning, they were set to leave. Pooja is looking at the book . She hides it instantly in her baggage hearing Kabir's voice. Kabir enters and asks "what were you hiding from me?" Pooja says "Nothing! I am just done with my packing. Shall we leave". Kabir scans her from top to bottom and says "Nope something is there. I need to check you". He walks towards her with a naughty smile. Pooja understood his intention and starts running away. He catches her smartly and says "You can't escape now dear". He caresses her face gently while Pooja's starts blushing. She warns "Kabir enough lets go everyone will be waiting for us". Kabir says "Lets them wait. I have no problem". He is about to kiss her but Tara entered yelling "What are you doing Pooja". Both are embarrassed and parted their ways. Tara in a teasing tone "Did I interrupt anything?". Kabir mutters "Bad timing" and leaves the place disappointed.

Tara says "If you are done with your packing lets leave then". Pooja says "She will come in 5minutes and asks her to carry on". She is talking to her mom over phone while the dark entity enters the room. It moves towards her baggage and tries to open it. Pooja notices the shadow through the window and turns back. She is startled to see no one behind her and contemplates is it real or Am I hallucinating strange things. She embraces herself and leaves the room. The dark entity is standing at the door fuming. It snarls "I know you are having that book.It will be visible for only few like you.
I have been waiting for years to get that book. I was cursed to touch unless someone with a pure heart handsover to me on the day of Dark moon day. I shouldn't let you leave with the book bcz today is the destined night".

Pooja is nearing the door. The ghost thinks I can't let her go. On the spur of the moment she saw Tina descending the stairs and makes her slip. As a result she falls down spraining her leg.Pooja immediately rushes to her and helps her to get up. Tina is screaming in pain. She can't even move her leg an inch. Kabit lifts her and makes her sit on couch. Kabir says seems like she had broken her leg. We have to take her to the hospital immediately. Kabir and Deep takes Tina to the hospital leaving the rest at the house. Pooja and Tara looks dejected seeing Tina's accident.
