Knock Knock
It was a nice night, the night of eid. The elders were having dinner in the main hall on the second floor.Me and my siblings,(There were 12 of us that time but total ,we are 30 of us) used to take photos over there.But because the main hall was occupied , we decided to take photos in the cornor room. It was a small room with two windows attached with two different balconies.
We climbed up to the second floor and beside the dinning room , there it was. The good thing was that air conditioners were installed in every room except 2 rooms (store rooms).It was a warm night .We put on the ac and started to take photos .
After a while , someone knocked at the door.
"Who's there?" Arya asked .But no one replied .
Frustated, she opened the door .No one was there .
"The children must be trying to pull a prank on us"Ayan , my cousin brother said.Arya just scoffed and locked the door again.
After a while , again someone knocked the door.This time Arya opened the door immediately without asking. She looked outside ,our aunt was washing the dishes in the sink beside the dinning table.
"Did you knocked at the door?"I asked .
"No child , I am washing the dishes"She replied.
"Did any of the children did?"Ayan asked
"No, I didn't saw anybody"She replied.
Ayan sighed before she sent Alya(my another cousin sister) to check on the kids. Our aunt put the empty dustbin in the balcony and locked the door.
"I am going downstairs .Please don't open the balcony door ,the ac is on"We just nodded our heads .Alya came back panting and tired by climbing the stairs.
"They are in their own rooms"She said
I got scared and suggested that we should end the photoshoot. But no one agreed.
"Why are you acting like a scaredy cat?" Rumman(my another cousin brother) joked.
We locked the door again but some one again knocked on it .This time ,we checked both the balconies. But we couldn't find anyone.This time , we locked the door, aboned our cameras and stood still.Arya's hands were at the door knob. I was standing on the sofa handle, my hands at lock.Ayan was at the window keeping an eye at the balcony while Rumman hid in the other. There was a knock on the door again, not a knock but a loud bang .We flung the door open,I saw a little child running down the stairs but didn't saw the face.
At the same,our uncle came climbing up the stairs.
"So you were the one that was continously knocking at the door!"Uncle tilted his head in confusion.
"I am not the one you all are looking for,I guess. I was sleeping in my room the whole evening"He said
We all got scared now. My eyes driftrd to the balcony .The door was wide open , the cold air blowing in. I shivered as the cold air buzzed against my skin.
"Did you saw any child running down the staircase?"I asked my uncle.
"I didn't saw any body on the staircase"
