The Bungalow Number - 420 Part 14

He thought deeply about possibilities where Manoj could be. He found no answer. It struck him that he didn't know his friend very well.  They shared a strong bond over few years and it was strange that his friend didn't share him about his whereabouts. 

Suddenly he remembered the bungalow. He hadn't visited the place after the recent murder. He wondered how the place would be. It would be stinking of blood. He had to burn the bodies or else the smell could reach the passerbys. Fortunately there were no neighbours around or else he would have be in a mess by now. He planned to visit the house in the evening. 

Manoj opened his eyes to pitch darkness. He couldn't understand where he was. His head was hurting badly. He felt some droplets of liquid dripping from his head. He assumed it to be liquid. He tried to get up. But he couldn't. He felt heavy weight of something over his body. 


Suddenly he heard a noise of the door opening. He tried to see who it was. The view was blurry. He couldn't understand why. "I have to burn these bodies before anyone gets to know about it.", a familiar voice said. It was Rohan. Manoj's face brightened. He called out his name. It wasn't clear and loud. 

Rohan lifted the bodies to be burnt aside. When he picked the last body out with difficulty, he was startled. He saw Manoj lying in pain. His hands were stretched out as if he was calling for help. His head was bleeding. He dropped the body aside and grabbed his hand. He helped him out and took him upstairs. He put him down on floors and bought him a glass of water from the kitchen.


Once he was confident that Manoj was feeling bit better, he asked him, "What were you doing downstairs? How come you are in this state?"  It took his friend few minutes to come to his senses. " I don't know. I .. I don't remember how I came here. I only remember that I came home that night after dumping Roger's body in the basement. Then.. I .. I .. saw something.. in my car when I reached home. I.. ran towards home and locked myself. Then I don't know what happened. I was shit scared. I was sitting and then I felt sleepy.. I opened my eyes and find you digging the bodies out. What day is it today?", he said in pain. "It's been two weeks.", Rohan replied in confusion. "What !", Manoj exclaimed in disbelief and fainted out of shock.

The Love Song - Part 3

 The road was quite empty except for few cars passing by. The radio played in the background while she continued driving. "Few more hours.", she whispered hoping she would reach on time. Suddenly the radio stopped playing. She sighed in anger. However she didn't try to fix it instead concentrated on the road. It was strangely getting cold. She switched off the AC and pressed the heater button on. She felt warmer now. But it didn't take long for warm to become hotter. Slowly droplets of perspiration formed on her forehead. She pressed the heater button off and rolled the window down. The car was acting strange. She decided to take the car to service station as soon as she came back from the trip. In midst of journey, the window rolled up unexpectedly. This sent shivers down her spine. She screeched her car to the side of the road and stopped the car. She pressed the lock button to open the door. As she tried to get out, she felt something pull her hand and push her to ...
