Ravi was an ordinary college students living a simple life classes, chai ,friends and late night scrolling. One evening, while returning home, his phone vibrated. An unknown number flashed on the screen .He ignored It. Second later, another call .Irritated, he pikked it up
No one spoke.
"Hello? Kaun hai? " Ravi asked.
Silence.
Just as he was about to hang up, he heard of faint Whisper, almost like someone struggling to breathe-" Don't go home tonight... "
The call disconnected.
Ravi stood frozen .His heartbeat quickened. It had to be a prank, he thought. But something about that voice felt...real.shaking it off, he continued walking.
But as he reached his lane ,he noticed something unusual that his house lights were off.
That was strange. His parents but supposed to be home and suddenly, the word echoed
again in his mind that "Don't go home tonight... "
Ravi stood outside his house ,hesitant.The gate was slightly open. He never left it like that. A cold breeze passed, sending chills,down his spine.
"Stop over thinking," he Muttered and stepped inside.
The house was eerily silent.
"Ma? Papa? " He called out.
No response.
As he walked into the living room, he notice a chair fallen on the floor. His throat went dry. Something was wrong. Very wrong.
Then suddenly -his phone rang again.
Same unknown number.
With trembing hands. He answered.
"Why did you go inside? "the voice whispered, now clearer.
Ravi's heart pounded." Who are you?What is going on ?!"
"Leave...before he comes back."
"who?!"
But the call disconnect again.
Ravi felt like he was being watched. He turned slowly...and heard footsteps Upstairs.
