That was many years ago.
There was a news in the paper that a murderer was hiding in Kolkata with dust in his eyes. The police had so far come to know that the killer was hiding in disguise in a house somewhere in North Kolkata. The man's picture was also printed. The paper said if anyone could find the man, he would be rewarded by the government.
At that time murder was not as bad as it is now. So the police could not catch such a horrible murderer, and I was terrified to know that he was still in Calcutta. And I still remember the incident because I was scared.
He did not know if the killer had been caught. At least I didn't notice anything on paper.
I found out many years later. He also read the newspaper.
The incident is like this 6.
Bibhavati Sarkar bought a two-room flat on the other side of Maniktala Bridge. The money was given by his only son. Works in Delhi. He told his mother, "You will not leave Kolkata, I am paying to buy a flat. You have to retire and go to Calcutta. ”
So Bibhavati Devi bought the flat. The flat is an old dilapidated house and is built on a little swamp land. At one time there were few houses in these areas. This flat 6 that broke the house. It belonged to a zamindar in a ducksite. When the zamindari was gone, the descendants of the zamindari are also scattered in different parts of Calcutta. But the former zamindari mood did not go away. The old houses of that period were not liked by the zamindar sons. So he left it. Occasionally a couple of houses would be rented. Would have gone again. Rent a little money. So the zamindar's sons were not satisfied. They decided to sell the house. That's why the new tenant did not settle down. Because no one will want to buy a house with rent.
After a lot of change of hands, now that house has become a new fashion flat. But in the back there are still ponds, swamps, dhol-kalmi and bantulsi bushes. Suddenly you don't think the place is in Kolkata.
Bibhavati bought a two-room flat here. He lives alone with Pujo-Achcha. Very devotional. Cook yourself.
There is a working girl. She helps him all day. He spends his time talking to her.
Everything is fine, but there is an inconvenience. Bibhavati got some evidence so that she understood that there was something wrong with the house. Especially in the north room.
He had extraordinary strength of mind and courage so he could stay alone at night. Or what is the way? The boy bought the flat by spending so much money. E or where to leave now? What do you say to the boy? He was forced to keep the lock on his face. Didn't say anything to anyone. Here are some of his relatives. They would occasionally come to see him. But he would not tell anyone to stay the night. Although his relatives thought he was alone, he would laugh and say that he was fine. Moreover, whatever God does, so be it. What is the benefit of thinking in vain.
Seeing so much faith in God, even the relatives did not say anything. He could only inform them that if he got sick, he should inform them immediately.
That Vibhavati Devi did an intelligent thing. Took the telephone. And he put it on a tool near his head.
In his mind, of course, he knew that except for illness, the fear that he digested silently, the remedy for it is not to call people by telephone.
An incident happened shortly after taking the telephone. Sometimes he calls one or two people. But no one calls him big.
Suddenly in the middle of the night the sound of the telephone waking him up woke him up. Who is calling so late at night? Definitely the color number. He was about to raise his hand from inside the mosquito net, when suddenly he saw a black hairy hand picking up the receiver from outside the mosquito net and pushing it towards him. Yes, just a hand.
He was startled. Scared. But at that moment he calmed down and said in a calm voice, "Who are you? What do you want? ”
The answer was not found. Only a faint footstep went out of the room.
Vibhavati Devi did not get up anymore. Remembering God, he lay down again.
Woke up in the morning and thought, was he dreaming?
That's when I saw the receiver hanging under the tool.
Sweat dripped from his face. Then he tightened himself up. He did all the work in the world as usual. Didn't tell anyone the events of the night. If you say it will rot, the flat is haunted. And if that word reaches the boy's ears, they will not come again.
One thing he was afraid of was that by the time he got here, he knew there was something in the north room. However, he does not use this house. But last night he realized that he was
Good story
