Stranger's Home

"Rains in summer? Ghosts in a Godly place? Impossible", He shrugged off with giggles. I tried to explain him but more I did he made fun of it more. Before you know about what happened, know about me, it will eventually lead you to the story. 

I am Aisha, I live with my brother Ayush (the one to whom I was trying to explain earlier). I work as a Trainer in a restaurant. My brother is 2 years older than me and I'm 23,which makes him 25.

It's summer, the last working day before holidays. And on the way back from the restaurant, my brain adviced me to take a break, I felt it was true, I need some time just for myself and my luck was at my feet. A message saying "Congratulations! You have won the lottery, A ticket to an amazing place you never may go! Come claim it now! " I didn't know the place before I had claimed it as I left it for destiny , but I never knew leaving everything for destiny might be harmful too. Claiming the ticket I knew, it was a ticket to a place I've heard, "It is Godly", " Perfect for short Vacations ", " You can definitely enjoy ", " An unexpected turn it would be in life" The visitors said. Maybe it would be fun I thought, Coming home I yelled "Ayush, Look what I've got! " Out of excitement. He came in looking goofy ' what? ' he asked with a very plain face which let all my excitement turn into an annoyed face and voice. " Nothing, just got tickets to a place you'd love to go, wanna come with me? " I asked in a low tone. " Wherever it might be, I can't. My office won't let me have a break, Have a lot to do, you go alone but remember to text me all the time, I know you won't and I know that you know I don't want you to, cause I trust you but still just saying " He said. I let out a chuckle as I hugged him, " You look cute when you are trying to be funny when you know you're not" I said not leaving the hug. Rolling his eyes he said " Don't fall of the plane out of too much excitement, if you'd get hurt it will take time for me to recognize you". " Now that's actually funny", I giggled softly. 

The next week

"It's about time for the plane, you go now, don't miss the chance " Ayush said. "Hmm, don't skip meals, be on time, everything is available for , if you didn't find something call me! Byeeee! " I yelled running towards the entrance of the check in. He giggled as he waved a Bye to me. 

As soon as I landed, I was welcomed by the manager of the Hotel I was going to live for a few days till I go back. He provided me all the things I need, from water to transport, just perfect. I messaged my brother that I've reached and has also said that I couldn't message him due to the irregular connectivity of signals. The place was so empty, there were almost no one. On the first day the manager took me to all the places that were not the main, but are attractive. Second day I left for a tour of the city and on the third day he took me to a temple. It was heavenly. Just peace was over it. I enjoyed the place till my manager said that he has to leave and I can't live in his hotel for that day but introduced me to a stranger who said I can live in his "Home" He has only revealed that he isn't he manager's friend, no other detail, not even his name. Though It was strange I left it as there was no other option. 

Later that day, In his Home

We were having dinner and it was all silent. No sounds other than the spoon touching the plate and drops of rain falling off the roof. Weird it was as the, weather has said "no chances of rain" But here there's a thunderstorm. All was going nuts for me. I get nothing but I shrugged all off. Later we went to our bedrooms to sleep, And in the middle of the night there was a heavy power fluctuation and everything's dark. I looked around the room as I lit the candle. Only to find a diary in the night stand beside me, Interesting I found as I was opening the book. But I never knew it was sign for me to run away.

We started killing everyone who lives in a stranger's home. Weird but we select them randomly, treat them good for 2 days , take them to a stranger's home and leave them in silence. If they try to break the silence, they're dead. But if not they can leave can never open their mouths against this. Praise this place? You can but share the incident with somebody you're dead.

A girl has come to this place, beautiful as her name she is "Aisha". She is the first one to not break silence, I guess I can leave her to go, maybe she's of no harm for me

As soon as I read that I was tensed and with anxiousness, sweat started dripping my face, weird noise and footsteps I could hear coming towards me. I closed the diary and put it back to the place and started praying to God while walking towards the footsteps. It was that stranger. I looked at him. And he said " Sorry, I forgot something here" And soon went to the table took the diary and before he went he wished me good night in a very low tone near my ears which gave me chills down my spine. I gulped my saliva and went back to the bed, covered my self with pillows and blankets till I slept. The next day, early in the morning I wrote a note to the stranger saying " It was an amazing stay, thank you, I have to leave urgently due to some work. Sorry for not being able to talk to you throughout the stay, I was nervous, Goodbye, have a GOOD LIFE ahead "

And left without even a second thought. 

As soon as I came back I hugged Ayush so tight and asked me to take to "our Home " He said "sure, sure, wait till the taxi arrives" And then I was trying to explain him what all happened and he was laughing and shrugging all off. I just can't explain him but all I know is I am about to die. But anyhow I managed to say him that I love him a lot before I die

He sooner or later would see this, I know, not only him but many would I hope. Please do not go there. My death should be the last one. 

Regards and wishes

A life lost due to a Stranger's Home
