Jab Aarav ne torch ki roshni aage ki taraf ki, to uske pair jam gaye. Samne khada jo kuch bhi tha, woh insaan bilkul nahi lag raha tha. Uske aankhon me laal chamak thi aur hawa me ek ajeeb si thandak fail gayi.
Aarav ka dil tez dhadak raha tha, lekin curiosity ne usse rukne nahi diya. Usne dheere se ek kadam aage badhaya, lekin jaise hi usne zameen ko touch kiya, ek halki si awaaz gunji:
"Tumhe yahan se jaane ka haq nahi…"
Aarav ne piche mudkar darwaza kholne ki koshish ki, lekin woh zatak gaya tha. Andhera aur gehra hota gaya, aur uske charo taraf shadow movement dikhne lage.
Tabhi ek chhoti si roshni door se blink hui, jaise koi signal kar raha ho. Aarav ko samajh aaya ki shayad woh exit ka rasta ho sakta hai. Lekin jab usne us rasta ki taraf dekha, shadow uske samne aa gaya.
Shadow ke saath hi, ek ghutna todne wali. chill Aarav ki kaanon me gunji. Usne apna torch zor se utha kar shine kiya…
Lekin jo usne dekha, uski saans ruk gayi. Shadow ka shape gradually human se alag aur monster jaisa ban gaya.
Aarav ke dimaag me ek hi thought aaya:
"Main yahan se bach kar jaunga ya… yahi khatam ho jaunga?"
Usne tez kadam badhaye aur monster ke side me ek chhoti si darwaza ki jhalak dekhi. Aarav ne apni puri himmat ikatthi ki aur…
Usne darwaza khol diya!
Andar ek chhoti room thi, jahan purane parchments aur mystical symbols pade hue the. Aarav ne notice kiya ki ye shayad shadow ki weakness ke clues ho sakte hain. Tabhi shadow ka awaaz phir se gunji:
"Tum sirf pehle step le chuke ho… asli khel ab shuru hota hai."
Aarav ne parchments uthaye aur ek mysterious symbol pe focus kiya. Jaise hi usne symbol ko touch kiya, room me ek chamak aur vibration shuru hui, aur shadow door ke andar disappear ho gaya.
Aarav ne gehri saans li. Ab uske paas ek clue aur ek question tha:
"Ye shadow kaun hai aur ye darwaza ka raaz kya hai?"
(To be continued…) 😈
