It was 5.35pm when the young man crossed the tree. The man hiding behind the tree immediately reported the incident on his cell phone.

"He crossed me just now"

"In which vehicle Bike or Car?" asked the other end. The voice sounded like rumbling in a metal drum.

"Bike"

"Stay there and watch. Someone else might show up there. ”

The man hiding behind the tree stood there and got bored. No one else followed that path to the foothills after that. It was getting dark. After dark there was a kind of eerie silence in the place. The sound of the tornado, which often broke the silence, was even more eerie. He was slightly frightened.

There is no greater reason for fear. Until a few months ago there was talk of demons and spirits roaming here at night. That too on the days of the new moon their migration is high in the region. Some in some magazines shared their horrific experiences. But ten people from a rational organization came and stayed in the area on a moonlit night with the resolution to know the truth and to meet the paranormal spirit if any at last. At twelve o'clock they saw two figures dressed in white. The fire suddenly appeared and disappeared in a jiffy. Two out of ten people fainted after seeing it, and one urinated unknowingly in fear. Four of the rest bravely ran and caught the spirits. The experiment revealed that the spirits were local youths, who had wrapped themselves in sarees, fitted sunscreen on their heads, and set fire to sulfur powder to create a blazing fire flame. Both said they took the step in an attempt to test the courage of the rationalist organization in the ensuing investigation.

Even as he recalled reading about the show, the fear in his mind did not go away completely. The idea that spirits and demons might have stayed away came and went elsewhere as the mob of ten people came. Leaning against the tree, he saw a mountain about a mile [1.5 km] away. The young man who had passed in the evening had a special liking for that mountain. The young man habitually visited the mountain on the night of each new moon. It's so scary and boring for a few hours. How could the young man stay there without fear?

He usually listens to radio songs on his cell phone when he is alone. Time moves quickly when listening to the song. But now he was ordered to observe without any noise. It is not even certain that he will be alive tomorrow if he violates the order. "What kind of survival is this?" That bored himself. Suddenly something fell on top of him. He shuddered and switched on the torch light. One of the squirrels ran fast and disappeared into a bush. He saw something big black bird flying very fast in the sky before his heartbeat returned to normal. It disappeared from sight quickly. The heart began to flutter again. It seemed to him that if he stayed there a little longer he would have a heart attack and die.

In the distance he heard the sound of a car coming towards him. He came out of the closet with a sigh of relief. The car came and stopped near him. An old man with bright grey hair peeked out of the car and asked, “did someone came through this way after that young man?”

He just shook his head without saying a word thinking to say "no".

"What happened to you, saw the real ghost? Even if there is a ghost, we should not be afraid of it. Don't let it scare us. Go and see the next work”

The car sped toward the hillside, where he pushed back a little and flew to the opposite side with his Yamaha parked on the sidewalk. The man, who had traveled two kilometers to the main road, picked up two roadblocks and stopped at a crossroads. Although no one was going down that path at this time he was given this job with an extra sense of caution.

So he stopped the roadblocks and stood on the sidewalk again. A couple of vehicles were coming and going on that main road from time to time. There was no eerie silence. So he was not as scared there as in the old place.

When the car quietly reached the foothills the young man’s Bajaj Pulsar bike was parked there. The driver had carefully turned off the car's interior and exterior lights a short distance away. He parked the car at the foot of the hill and immediately stared at the top of the hill as if he was inside without letting go.

“Do not be afraid. I'm not sure he will notice you even if you stand next to him. ”

The gruff voice from nearby was in a tone that encouraged him. He nodded but did not stop noticing. The man who was looking at him said in a gruff voice when he decided to get down after paying attention for a while.

"It should be a case of death by snake bite. The young man is no ordinary person. His father is a powerful minister in this state. His brother is an MP. Even the slightest suspicion is dangerous”

He nodded. The man's courage and warning for the seventh time only irritated him. But he didn’t show it off. If it was other people, he would have yelled “let me do the work properly. Don’t irritate me in between.”

But it is dangerous to talk to such people. If you did it will be like earning a serious enemy for the rest of your life. He had seen and heard how the enemies of this man enjoyed a hellish life.

He picked up a cardboard box in the back seat of the car very carefully. Even the bright grey haired man, whom many thought to be fearless, moved swiftly towards the back door as the cardboard box was brought near him. To him, his gesture brought a smirk to his face.

"Everyone values their own dear life”

That smirk did not escape his eyes. Looked at him. He disappeared as fast as he could. He got out of the car with that cardboard box. If you pull the car door. He closed door cautiously, as he did not want to be heard in the stillness of that night. Then fast he walked towards the mountain. The gruff voice stared at him until he disappeared from view.

A gust of wind blew with an occult sound. But the grey haired chief was not as frightened as his servant had been a while ago. Now he was anxiously waiting for the departed man to finish his work and leave.
