Time 6 pm. Amar who is 14 years
old is waiting for his friends
* * *
Jesus, I am not supposed to believe
these fellows. Every time they are giving an excellent hand to me. Oh God! why
are you creating these difficulties only to me!! I don’t know how to solve these. I
am not sure even if we can get the tickets or not. Thank God!! At last Naina and Prasad arrived. We made our way towards the theatre, to my horror, we saw the board
,'HOUSEFUL'. I scolded my friends as this happened because of them. We
moved to the next theatre. Every where we saw the same situation. My mind tuned to watch a movie. So, I took
them to another theatre. The situation was really cool as it was not much crowded though it was Sunday. But once I saw the movie name, I frightened. The name
was “HAUNTED HOUSE”. It was a horror movie. I had never seen any horror movie
and I said the same to Naina and Prasad. Naina refused but Prasad started saying “As you are really interested in
horror I will show what real horror is. The only thing you have to do is just go
and get the tickets for three of us”. We entered the theatre and I settled between them.
After a few minutes I have learned
what horror is! To my horror, Prasad is sleeping. This fellow is wasting my 100 bucks.
But Naina is watching.
“Naina are you enjoying the movie?
“
“Shut up Amar! this is a dirty film
and you brought me here”
After some time,I
have seen a freighting face on the screen. I held Naina’s hand in fear.
“Amar what are you doing?"
“Don’t ask me any questions Naina,
please cooperate with me “
“What? “
“Don’t ask any questions. I am not
in a situation to answer “
“I am leaving “
“You can’t waste my 100 bucks “
“Go to hell with your 100 bucks “
By saying these words, Naina left. What happened to her? Now I have to watch the movie alone and I watched
the entire movie to at least save my 100 bucks. After the completion of
movie, I woke him up.
“Was the movie completed “
“Of course Prasad. Let us go”
“Where is Naina?”
“In her house”
“What?”
“She left for house in the middle
of the movie. I don’t know what happened to her. I think she is frightened”.
“Every one may not be as braver as
you”
“Of course that is also correct,
but Prasad, I have a simple doubt, “does ghosts exist” ”.
“According to the fundamental
concepts of ..”
“Don’t tell those bloody concepts Prasad, just say yes or no”
“Yes”
“How can you say that?”
“Fish knows how to swim and Bird
knows how to fly. In the same way ..”
“Oh! Stop it and tell me what you
know about ghosts..does they really exist?”
He explained the entire
concepts starting from the fundamentals including the basic definitions of
ghosts. That night I didn’t get the sleep. I have unnecessarily asked this
fellow what is what. I spent time hugging my pillow and chanting slokas that night.

At last I have learned that horror
is really horror.
