The Others

Prologue: Since childhood one thing which has captured my fascination is Ghosts. And I have waited for my moment to witness them with my own eyes. And as I grow, I feel my moment is coming closer.
================================

That flat is a 2BHk apartment with 3 guys X,Y and Z living in it. Its a slightly old apartment with the owners staying abroad . The residents are my close buddies. As a bachelors abode you will be able to imagine how the week starts and ends in that house . This was one similar weekend when all were partying hard and high: the music was ear cracking loud , the room smoky and dimly lit with junk food sprawled all over amid beer bottles rolling aimlessly.

Everything was fine until the clock struck midnight when Mr X was forced by mother nature to attend a call to the toilet. There as he was smoking and letting off the heaviness go which, seemed like it will flow on till infinity, he heard someone uttering his name. The state in which his mind was , its obvious that the thought of "
the others" calling him didnt occur to him ,...at that instant. . . But, as he was was washing his hands, the unknown voice called him once again... "Xxx" . This time .. his sense woke him up .. he sensed an undefined presence close to him... eerieness ran through his mind... as he could feel a dead coldness beside him... He came out of the toilet and joined back the party... his tipsiness was gone for the night.

The next morning, when X disclosed the incident.. it was obvious that the others would laugh it away.... and they did . The matter silenced down and even X forgot about it... but not till long.

One fine night, at around 3 am, Y woke up all on a sudden. In his sleep, he could hear someone walking briskly in the room. In the darkness he could see almost nothing: the Tv was off with the remote controlled led still glowing silently in green, his lappy was in standby state snoozing, the curtains of the room were drawn , the door was locked , the sofa was overloaded with dirty clothes , all piled up untidily forming ugly shapes in the dark, the sound of water leaking almost silently, the sound of the fan speeding at top speed... everything seemed ok in the room.... but it was not...
Amidst those shapes in the sofa, he saw a real human shape sitting , watching. It was nodding its head as if it was in rhythm with song of the dark.. Y kept his nerve.. He stood up silently and ran to X's room wanting to call him... No one was there in X's room.. Y was getting hysterical.
He woke up Z hurriedly and came stealthily back to his room.. But till then the shape was gone..

Where was X??? X was in the toilet , standing, facing the mirror and smiling as if in a trance. They woke him up and he fainted.

=================================
Epilogue: This really happened guys.. no kidding... But after that the activities ceased.. or may be they still are active but in a passive manner... waiting for the right moment to communicate if anyhing they have .... X tells they and "
the others" are co existing in harmony... Lets hope so .. what say...

Everytime I go to stay at their place, I feel an unexplained excitement as well as fear , may be this time i will see something..

But till now fortunately as well as unfortunately nothing has happened that i could be blogging about. May be something will turn the heat on , the next time...
