Ghostly New Year eve

Horrific event on New Year eve

New Year brings ecstasy and new-fangled optimism. All people are enthusiastic to rejoice with concord. We all friends and neighbors were gathered on the eve of 2020.

Many exciting shows and programs were organized at my residence. We were enjoying and excitedly waiting for New Year. Around 21:30 P.M. we had grand traditional dinner. The apartment was decorated with exclusive and rare antique pieces. We were also remembering our late parents who groomed us at their best and from their blessings; we were in a cozy position.

At 12:00 midnight we welcomed New Year, 2020 with great fervor. First of all we took blessings of God and greeted everyone for healthy, happy and prosperous New Year. We sung a customary song together. My daughters made that moment memorable by shooting a film in our traditional costumes. All were celebrating and having fun at the arrival of New Year. Few minutes later, telephone bell rang. I moved to bedroom to attend the call. It was my friend's call wishing me happy New Year. I reciprocated the same. At that time I was feeling tired. I had a glass of water. I was thinking about my friend. She was my real friend and always ready to help me whenever I needed. I was in rolls of thoughts. Unexpectedly, I observed some strangers approached to my bedroom. They hold me forcefully and put piece of cloth on my nose. I became unconscious. When I opened my eyes I found myself in stranger's web. They all were looking just like a mischievous sprite. There was a very luxurious room with all modern amenities. I was too sickened.  

One of them came near to me and said if you necessitate something you just ring the bell. You should not worry, we will not hurt you. You are our most respected guest. I couldn't understand their intention. I was observing them minutely. I decided not to share any thing with them. They all were having meeting in adjoining hall. I tried to know more about their plan but couldn't succeed. Suddenly, I heard cries of one male. I was trembled and became frozen. They killed one of their group members by chopping his head from the top. The group leader was shouting, if anyone will swindle me, I would not let him to survive in the human race.   He was staring to all fellowmen and ordered austere instructions to follow.

I had also no option instead of inaudibly living with them. They didn't exhibit any visible intent towards me. I was worried about my family. How my kids would be managing all alone at home? They all might be missing me badly. They might have informed to the police by now. These gangsters were looking very dangerous. Human life is just a like plaything for them. It was a bombshell that they were not preceding to any operation without praying to God. This twofold persona forced me to think about them. They might suffer from bitter occurrence in the past. Or they lost their family in riots or rebel attacks. Criminals are not born. They were nurtured in this cruel world.

We all know that criminals have no set of laws and they don't fulfill their promises. Those gangsters were living like ordinary, well-civilized way. Interesting fact appeared to me when they allowed to me walk into entire bungalow. While taking a round I saw photos of many elderly people. When I asked my guard, were they all relatives? He told me they all were social members and leader is very much reverential of elders. I then noticed the photos of traditional ceremonies of ancient times. I was quite sure that situations and circumstances made them to step into crime well. I came back to room and again started bothering about my beloved ones. My intellect was not working and I was under great menace.

After few hours they took me to another place. I had been instructed to stay there as a normal person and perform all work as normally I do at home. It was an apartment equipped just like earlier one. Neighbors also came to meet me. I became very much friendly to one of neighbors. One day my intimate neighbor inadvertently heard gangster's conspiracy. They noticed him but not put into action immediately. My friend became edgy and fearful. She notified me about whole state of affairs. I was also troubled about her. Gangsters didn't harm her. I was to a certain extent flabbergasted. I warned her to escape from this place as early as possible. Since she didn't have any threat from those criminals, she became slapdash and busy with her routine activity.

Gangsters visited me frequently and they were very much compassionate. To overcome my grief, I requested my friend to be with me at evening tea. We had shared many good and bitter experiences of life. After that we moved to dining hall and had tea. We ate pizzas; chowmin and then I offered some special sweet. That time my cell phone rang up, I picked up, it was stupid criminals again. They had a winning laugh. I couldn't understood. I inquired about the reason of their laugh. They shouted with joy as their task was accomplished. The sweet that was offered to your friend was poisoned. Now she cannot be survived. We never leave any spy alive. I rushed to dinning hall to stop her but I was motionless. I felt giddiness and became unconscious. When I recovered, I realized that kidnappers surrounded me and they were trying to put poisoned sweet into my mouth. They compelled me to eat at gunpoint. I had no choice except to have that.

All of sudden I comprehended that I was lying on bed. I was dismayed and was not be able to even breathe. Where were those devils? Who trapped me? How I came here? I then became fully cognizant and felt that I was dreaming. All others were sleeping. Still I was stock-still. The horror dream had a great impact on my brain and my tone was throttled. Bit by bit I left the bed and refreshed. I was constantly thinking about dream and trying to convince myself that it was not real.

Next day, we were getting ready for office in the morning, somebody knocked at the door.   I thought sweeper came to collect garbage. I opened the door and I was shocked to see him. The same gangster's chief was standing in front of me. My husband came behind me and was talking to him. He gave brochure of the new product.  I wanted to convey the message but I couldn't. My husband then asked me "where are you, salesman from Kent Water Purifier offering a good scheme, are you interested in?"   I told him that salesman was identical of the gangster's chief of my dream.  It was not a joke. My husband was also scared but he controlled himself and consoled me, it was an alarm. The dream was not normal. We became aware of jeopardy. That salesman was suspicious therefore we inquired later. It was informed by company that they engaged no such salesman.

 In my life this was the worst event especially at the occasion of New Year. Since I have sanguine approach, I scrutinized this episode, as all my forthcoming nastiest stuffs of whole year washed away just like evil spirits in the dream. I will only expose to good ambiance in near upcoming. Magnificent prospects are awaited and my all ambitions will be fulfilled.
