Dhakia was looking at the house and feeling a strange attraction. It is better to say palace than home. The arch rises like a huge high dome over the two-story roof. I don't know how many surprises are hidden behind the half-burnt doors of the big bars! In front of the big lion door, there is a spider's web and half-burnt weeds on the surrounding wall. In the cornice, there are saplings of bot ashvattha. The cracks of the stairs are the abode of reptiles, afraid to step. Still, he wanted to visit the house. The broken fountain in the middle of the weed forest in the garden resembles a Greek marble statue, so this ruined building was once the palace of a big zamindar or babu.
- '' What do you see? Do you know how long everyone has been looking for you? '' Sambit returned to Aruhi's call but could not take his eyes off the house.
- '' What happened to you when you came here? You see this house again and again. '' Sanchari said.
Everyone in Aruhi Sanchari and Dhakia College knows them by one name. All of them call it 'Asar'. Three people have come to visit Sanchari's country house in Metli. On the road to the tea garden behind Metli Bazaar, this huge ruined house was almost seen - Kiya. The abandoned house on the green tea garden is half-burnt, with weeds and reptiles in the rubble. Sanchari says,
- '' The former owner of this garden was an English gentleman. He had a home. I heard the house was on fire. Grandpa knows the whole thing. "
After dinner, Sanchari's uncle was sitting on the roof of the house. The house was covered in fog on the slope of the tea garden a little away from the roof. The house was pulling Kikia strangely. Aruhi and Sanchari hugged Grandpa to tell the story of that house.
নীAbni Mohan was looking at Kiya, he seemed to know the girl very well. Maybe you've ever seen a photo with your granddaughter before. Abani Mohan, Sanchari's great grandfather, looked at the house and sighed. Said
- '' I barely knew then, fifteen years old, I saw that house burning. Later I gradually came to know the story of that English gentleman. The prestige of this metal began around all these tea gardens. At one time the train was moving across the mountain. Today he is all past.
Robert Philip, the owner of the garden, lived in this mansion. Although the country was independent, he did not return to his country. He was doing business here. Mr. was very angry and angry. His family was not in this country. Sahib used to live in such a big house with three Thakur servants. Mr. Lalmukho was angry but the children lived well. When he saw the chocolate.
Many Nepali and Tibetan porters worked in the tea garden in this region. The girls picked leaves. The child was sometimes lost in the coolie slums on the edge. With this the area was hot. Not dragged into the wild. The children were getting lost during the day. The mutilated bodies of some children were found in the drain of the tea garden. The children are all between the ages of five and ten. Even though there were scratches of a fierce animal on one or two bodies, it was a sign of human work.
Pema, a Tibetan woman, lived on a hill on the banks of the Kurti River at the far end of the Coolie slum. He used to worship everything in his house, he knew Tuktak Tantra mantra. People's illness was cured. Many said he was a worshiper of evil spirits, people were afraid of him. Still, if he was in danger, he would run to him. One of his adopted daughters was Maya. The girl is fair like Nepalis but her eyes are big, her nose is sticky, she has one head of hair. He picked up the girl by the river. Some people went to him after the child was abducted, and he could say a lot. He cut the table and said that a foreigner was behind it. He also picks up the children. Two or four foreign families were here at that time.
But suddenly Philip's men spread rumors that Pemai had abducted the children and practiced Tantra. So Pema grabbed the children and tortured them to death. The slum dwellers were furious to find the bodies of the children in the back drain of his house. Philip tells everyone that he also stole Maya from somewhere. After that, after the theft of the baby in a new moon, everyone attacked Pema's house, and the mother and daughter somehow escaped. But the kids are nowhere to be found. The porters set fire to their house. Two days later, Maya's wounded body was found by the drain. Philip says Pema beat him like that. All this is part of his Tantra practice. Everyone wanders around the nearby slums in search of Pema.
The next day, in the middle of the night, everyone saw Philip's house burning. Thakur's servants were all burnt to death that day, Philip himself could not escape. The next day, two burnt bodies were found, one with a silver cross and a ring around his neck, but the other was not identified. However, many people say that it is Pemar's body. It is not known how the fire started!
The baby was never stolen after this incident. The garden is sold. A Gujarati gentleman bought it. But the bungalow could not be repaired. Laborers were afraid to go to work. The cries of the children can be heard there, the burning smell of the woman can be heard. They saved the bungalow from a Marwari merchant. He thought of building a hotel. But the man died suddenly. After that he could not repair the building in his hands. No one wants to enter that house. An evil demon has surrounded the house. Maybe Pemer's curse is the condition of that building today. ''
At the end of the story, Aruhi says - "But neither Pema nor Philip was found guilty !!"
- "Everyone still blames Pema, for fear of being caught and burned Philip in anger." Sanchari's younger uncle said.
- "Where is Dhakiya?" Suddenly Sanchari's words made everyone look at him. Dhakia and Sanchari were sitting on the side of the stairs at the end of the roof. ঋKia is nowhere to be seen. She is looking at him.
Grandma says - "Maybe she went downstairs to drink water or go to the toilet !!"
Find the whole house in a moment and can't find him. The workman called him Ramapada and saw him go out.
- '' He went to that house again. We have to go there now. ”Aruhi said in a trembling voice.
They went out with Sanchari's two uncles, grandfather and uncle's son Raj. With two big torches and mobile lights. One or two people from the neighborhood joined them after hearing all.
Going to the front of the house, everyone stopped, the house half-burnt in the moonlight looks even more horrible, the lion opened the door, Sanchari shouted and shouted -
The echo came back crashing down the hill. One night a bird wakes up and flies away. They entered the house. A chill came down on Aruhi's spine.
Dhakia was sitting on the second floor stairs, but which dhikya? Her burning eyes, her hair is unkempt. Seeing them, he shouted, "No one will go further than one foot." ''
Something holding tight in his hand.
Aruhi says - "What's wrong with you?" Come on. This house is cursed. "
- "You go away, I have come to take my god." He held something close to his chest.
- "Come on mother, if you come to our house and you are harmed, I will not be able to show my face in shame." Abani Mohan Babu said.
Sanchari's two uncles and grandfather fell down the stairs and pushed something.
িয়াKia says - '' I benefited all of you. But you set fire to my house believing that foreigner. He kept us stuck. Didn't leave my daughter either. He was a living devil. A pedophile who enjoys sexually abusing children. When they died, they would catch new prey again. Skeletons of two more children can still be found in the basement of this house. Set them free And I will float this idol of my god in the river. "
- '' So it will be, we will listen to everything. You come back. ”Abani Mohan said in a trembling voice.
িয়াKiya got up, ran through the tea garden at the back of the house and ran towards the river. They followed and saw something floating in the river.
When they returned home after rescuing his unconscious body, it was dawn and a lot of people had gathered in front of their house. After hearing all, they entered the house and found the underworld. And rescued the skeletons of two children. No one is prevented from entering the house anymore.
লেওWhen Kia regained consciousness, she became silent. Maybe nothing was remembered. Sanchari and Aruhi couldn't think why Pema's soul chose Ukia after so many years. However, they did not ask him any more questions.
On the day of his return, they asked Abanimohan about that.
He said softly,
- '' In fact, there was a strange resemblance between Aikia and Maya's appearance. I still remember Maya's face. On the first day, I saw Kikia very well. The red eyebrow on his forehead ... that was Mayar too. "
- '' My mother was innocent. That devil finished me too. Mother woke up the god and killed him. But could not prove his innocence. So maybe it pulled me. Our gods stayed there. And those children also wanted to be released. "
িয়াKia stares at the house in the distance. The morning sun has fallen on the haunted house after cutting the fog.
