Mysterious Murder in the bungalow.

Mysterious Murder in the bungalow. 

After having a nap and some rest both Mr. and Mrs. Singhania come down to the living room. Jignesh is already sitting in the living room, and reading a magazine. It is raining heavily outside and the weather has become a little bit colder and chilling. A cold wind is blowing which is felt bitterly by all the people sitting in the living room. They are having some conversation regarding their children and are getting a bit sad and depressed which can be seen in their faces. So, Jignesh decides to divert their minds for a time being and so he shifted the conversation to another topic. He starts talking about the place, of its surroundings, and the different kinds of birds that are, found in this area. He talks about the different types of flowers near the river and their sweet mesmerizing smell that can easily take a person to a world of dreams away from their monotonous lives full of boredom, anxiety, depression, and different thoughts. The Singhania couple also joins him in the conversation. In this way, the time passes by and for a time, all of them present there are able to divert their minds from the ongoing crisis the whole family is going through.

Slowly the evening is passing by and it’s getting darker with the passage of time. The dinner time approaches and the three of them make their move towards the dining room. In the table, there is a pin drop silence, neither of them uttering a single word. Only the sound of utensils and cutlery can be heard. The silence is broken down by the sound of thunder and the hauling of foxes that can be heard coming from the dense wilderness. Other than this, there is the sound of Crockett which can be heard in the quiet environment of the room.

After having dinner, none of the three have any intention of conversing with each other. So, they decide to go to their respective rooms which are on the second floor of the bungalow. After they go to their room the servants start cleaning the utensils and the dining area. Mr. and Mrs. Singhania is having a chat among themselves about their children. They are feeling very much helpless as they can not do anything to find their children. Mrs. Singhania is feeling a bit ill as she can not bear any more stress of losing her children. She has a severe headache and hence she intakes a medicine and goes to sleep.

Mr. Singhania is reading a book to divert his mind from the ongoing crisis that has fallen over their family. It is nearly 12 o’clock in the night but he is unable to sleep. So he decides to go down to the living room and spend some time in solitude. When he comes out of his room the entire area is immersed in the unpleasant darkness of the night. He goes down slowly down the stairs to the living room and switches on the night lamp and makes himself sit on one of the sofas.

The night is darker than expected with no light and it’s raining heavily outside. The sky is covered with layers of thick clouds. There is an uncanny silence in the surrounding which is broken down by the frequent thunder strike and the area gets illuminated with the light of the flash. The sound of the Cricket can still be heard in the background. The entire setting creates a sense of uneasy in anyone’s mind. Apart from this, the hauling of different animals can be heard coming from the dense wilderness which makes the setting scarier.

Mr. Singhania is having a nap sitting on the sofa thinking about his children. When suddenly he heard someone knocking on the glass window of the living room. He looks towards the window but nothing can be seen in the darkness of the night. He thinks he has mistaken and so he again closes his eyes. But, after sometimes, he again heard something knocking on the glass window and hence he goes towards the window, and now he can see the shadow of some animal in the window frame which can be seen in the light produced by the thunder flash. When he opens the window he sees a black cat is sitting there and as soon as he opens the window the cat enters the room to save herself from the heavy rain outside.

Mr. Singhania returns to his sofa keeping the window open. Outside the wind is blowing heavily and it seems like a storm is approaching the area. When the wind blows between the dense trees it makes a peculiar noise which sounds a bit terrifying. Mr. Singhania has closed his eyes and sitting still on the sofa and he certainly felt that someone is calling him in a faint voice. He thinks he is having a dream so he ignored him. Again, after sometimes he heard the voice calling him for the second time. M-A-H-E-S-H with some gal between each word, he feels that the sound is coming from the front. He instantly opens his eyes and sees two small bright eyes is looking at him. He jumps up from his seat and immediately switches on the light, and realizes that it is the black cat whose eyes were shining in the darkness of the night. He gets a bit of disturbed by this scene and decides to go back to his room upstairs.

So he goes back to his room. Before sleeping he has the habit of drinking water. So he takes the jug but it has not a single drop of water in it. So he comes down again. When he comes down the nowhere finds thee black cat. Mahesh than goes to the kitchen and it takes him nearly five minutes to fill the jug and returns to the living room. When he enters the room he again finds that two little tiny bright eyes are watching at him. Mahesh felt that his life has been taken from his body for a time being, but it does not take him much time to recover from that state. When he is about to go up the stairs he again hears that somebody is calling his name again. He turns back but finds no one there. Again when Mahesh turns his back towards the staircase he heard the voice again. This makes him a little frightened of the situation and he cannot understand what's happening with him or maybe he just has illusions and nothing else.

So, he decides to sit down in the living room for a while and see if anybody is present there or not. After a few minutes, everything seems normal and so he decides to go up to his room. But suddenly the lights of the room starts blinking, and it continues for one or two minutes. Then strong winds start blowing and he feels that the trees are talking among themselves about Mahesh.

‘M-A-H-E-S-H! M-A-H-E-S-H! YOU ARE A COWARD! YOU WILL D-I-E!’

Mahesh Singhania gets pretty much scared after hearing this and he can do not move from where he is sitting. He again heard someone saying something in a faint voice to him.

“M-A-H-E-S-H! M-U-K-E-S-H! FRIENDS! M-U-R-D-E-R-E-D! “

By hearing this the face of Mahesh Singhania turns pale and he is severing in fear. Mukesh was once his business partner. He was his school friend and they were like brothers. But, he had died several years back. But why is he hearing about Mukesh after such a long time? Mahesh can not understand and he is willing to go back to his room but he can not. He is severing bitterly with fear. Mahesh again hears the faint voice, but he can’t recognize where it is coming from? The voice speaks:

“M-U-K-E-S-H DIED! M-A-H-E-S-H DIED! BOTH FRIENDS DIED!”

Mahesh is not in his sense after hearing all this. It takes him some time to recover from all this stuff and he is not able to guess what is happening with him or he is in his nightmare. Then, unexpectedly his attention is drawn into the normal state by the sound of the opening door. He gets up and moves a little forward to see what’s the matter. When he looks towards the storeroom he is speechless, as he can see in front of him his two children. He can hear the cry of his children who are calling for his help. But, when he moves forward he can no more see them or can hear their voices. The voice of his children is floating in his mind and he can hear their cry for help continuously.

“Dad help us! Help us Dad! They will kill us. Please rescue us from here.”

The last two words are floating in his ear.

“DADDY! D-A-D-D-Y! HELP US! SAVE US DADDY! D-A-D-D-Y! D-A-D-D-Y! H-E-L-P! HELP!”

These words are floating in his ears continuously. He can not understand what is going around him and why he is experiencing such things.  He is unable to think and act accordingly. He has gone numb in all the experiences he is having so far. Whenever he is able to restore his strength he experiences something mysterious that terrifies him to a great extent.

He has just recovered from this all the light starts going on and off again. The black cat which has been there for some time starts crying which makes the scene more mysterious. He is looking around him in search of anyone who is doing this but it is too dark for a human eye to see anything. But, after a moment he can see, something visible in a distance. The area is getting filled with fog and in between the fogs, he can see an image of a person approaching him. He gets a bit stunned by seeing the figure of the person approaching him. It is Mukesh who has died fifteen years back. By seeing this Mukesh is stunned and he can not say anything. The only thing he can hear is the cry of the cat in the background and the voice of Mukesh who is telling him something. The voice says pointing out to Mahesh,

“I DIE! YOU DIE! BOTH OF US DIE!

By saying this the portrait of the person begins to go back and disappear in the fog. Mahesh Singhania can not believe his eyes what he has just seen and heard. He can not move from his position and he has lost all of his sense and has become numb with fear. He can not feel his body, he can only hear the cry of the cat in the background which has just stop a moment ago. The frequent thunder strike is still going on but this does not have any effect on his current position. He is standing still like a statue severing with fear.

The security guard has been taking a round of the house when he sees the light of the living room is going on and off. For the first time, he thought the flickering of the light is caused due to any technical fault and inconsistent voltage. But, when it continues again and again he decides to take a look at the matter and so he goes inside the house. When he enters the bungalow, he can see nothing due to the darkness of the night. When he enters the room he is terrified by the two bright eyes of the cat looking at him, but he recognizes that it is nothing but a cat. He is feeling a bit of terrified by seeing all this and the room filled with unpleasant darkness. The scene looks to him a bit mysterious and the crying of the cat makes it scarier than before. Then in a distance in the great hall, he can see it is getting filled with fog and he can see someone is riding a horse and moving toward him. The security guard can not see Mr. Singhania in the dusk of the night. Now, he can see that it is the statue of the soldier who is riding towards him with his sword held high. The Security guard can listen to the sound of the approaching of the horse and the hilarious cry of the man. By seeing the man coming close to him he gets very much terrified and he can not utter a single word crying for help. The rider is approaching towards him, the guard tried to run but he can not move forward and he can see that the portrait of the man has come too close to him and he is about to kill the guard with the sword. He attacks the guard with its sword and the security guard falls on the ground unconscious.

Mr. Mahesh Singhania has been unconscious for the entire event and does not have any idea about the incident that has happened with the guard. When he gets his conscience back, Mahesh is quite surprised to see the body of the security guard lying on the ground.  He can not understand why he is lying there, he calls the guard with his name but he does not receive any response from the security guard. He is thinking about all this when he heard the sound of a horse cry. He gets stunned as he can not realize how can a horse come to this area as there is no stable in the neighborhood or the nearby village. He realizes that the sound is coming from the hall in front of him. When Mahesh looks towards the hall he sees a portrait of a man riding a horse is standing in between the fog. Mahesh can hear his horrifying voice uttering some words as:

“M-A-H-S-H  K-I-I-L! KILLED MAHESH!”

Mahesh realizes that he is in great trouble and his life is in great danger. He wants to go from there but he can not as he has gone numb and unable to move as he is shivering brutally with fear. Now the rider with the horse starts moving towards him with his sword held high. Mahesh recognizes that it is the same statue that is present in the house but he is helpless and can not do anything. He can hear the hilarious battle cry of the rider which is approaching closer and closer with every passing minute. Now Mahesh can see his death approaching him and more than that he can see ahead of a man hanging in the side of the horse, and he carefully sees it he gets more terrified as it is his own head. He realized that the rider has come too close to him and he is about to attack Mahesh with his sword. Then suddenly he felt short of a pain in his stomach and he realizes that a sword has gone through his stomach. He feels severe pain in his stomach and falls down on the floors with blood bubbling out from his body and scattering the entire floor.
