🔥📖 Episode 1: Andhere Ghar Ki CheekheinRaat ka waqt tha aur aasman par kaali ghataein chhayi hui thi. Halki halki barish bhi shuru ho chuki thi jo mahol ko aur bhi zyada daraona bana rahi thi. Ahmed ka ghar naya shehar mein shift ho raha tha. Yeh ghar purana tha, lekin sasta milne ki wajah se unhon ne bina zyada sochay samjhay le liya tha.Ahmed, uska walid, walida aur uski chhoti behan Sana – sab log purane ghar ke andar apna samaan rakh rahe thay. Ghar ke andar ajeeb si khamoshi thi, jese koi pehle se hi unko observe kar raha ho.“Papa, yeh ghar itna khamosh kyun hai?” Sana ne dheemi awaaz mein poocha.Uske walid ne muskurane ki koshish ki aur kaha, “Naya ghar hai beta, aadat ho jayegi.”Lekin Ahmed ko kuch theek nahi lag raha tha. Jab woh pehli dafa ghar ke andar aaya tha, usay aisa laga jese kisi ne usay andar aane se roka ho. Darwaza kholte waqt bhi usay halki si thandi hawa mehsoos hui thi, jo normal nahi thi.Raat dheere dheere gehri hoti ja rahi thi. Sab log thak chukay thay, is liye sohne ki tayyari karne lagay. Ghar ke har kamray mein purani lakri ki zameen thi jo har qadam par charmarahat ki awaaz nikalti thi.Ahmed apne kamray mein gaya. Usne luggage side par rakha aur bed par baith gaya. Lekin uski nazar bar bar kamray ke kone ki taraf ja rahi thi. Wahan kuch nahi tha… ya shayad kuch tha jo nazar nahi aa raha tha.Achanak light flicker hui. “Off… on… off… on…”Ahmed ne ghabra kar light switch dekha, lekin switch normal tha. Usne socha shayad voltage ka issue hoga.Tabhi usay hallway se halki si foot steps ki awaaz aayi.“Tap… tap… tap…”Ahmed foran darwaza khol kar bahar aaya. Hallway bilkul khali tha. Usne apne walid ko awaaz di, “Papa?”Koi jawab nahi aaya.Sirf khamoshi thi… aur woh footsteps ab bhi sunai de rahe thay, lekin ab woh zyada kareeb lag rahe thay.Ahmed ne dheere dheere kitchen ki taraf dekha. Wahan andhera tha, lekin usay laga jese kisi ne kitchen ke andar move kiya ho.Usne himmat karke kaha, “Kaun hai wahan?”Achanak sab kuch ruk gaya.Na koi awaaz, na koi movement.Bas ek second ke baad… poore ghar ki lights ek sath band ho gayin.“Papa!” Sana ki cheekh poore ghar mein goonj uthi.Ahmed tezi se uske kamray ki taraf bhaaga. Andhera itna gehra tha ke kuch nazar nahi aa raha tha. Sirf bijli ki chamak (lightning) se kuch seconds ke liye sab dikh raha tha.Usne Sana ka darwaza khola.“Main yahan hoon!” Sana ne roti hui awaaz mein kaha.“Tumhein kya hua?” Ahmed ne poocha.Sana ne kampte hue kaha, “Koi mere kamray mein tha… koi mere bed ke paas khara tha… aur usne mujhe dekha…”Ahmed ne foran kamray ka har kona check kiya. Wahan koi nahi tha. Lekin bed ke paas zameen par geela footprint tha… jo insaan ke paon ka nahi lag raha tha.Us footprint ke paas ek ajeeb si thandi hawa mehsoos ho rahi thi, jese koi abhi bhi wahan khara ho.Tabhi achanak poore ghar se ek aur awaaz aayi…“AAAAHHHHHHH…”Yeh awaaz itni tez thi ke sab log freeze ho gaye.Ahmed ka dil zor zor se dhadak raha tha. Usne dheere se kaha, “Yeh ghar… normal nahi hai.”Aur usi pal hallway ke end par ek saya (shadow) nazar aaya… jo dheere dheere move kar raha tha… lekin uska koi chehra nahi tha.🔥 End of Episode
