     “Hey Ahmed! Come on dude. It’s getting late. What are doing” a colleague asked Ahmed. “Pending work is there dude. Just few more minutes I’ll complete it” Ahmed replied.
     “Okay then I’m leaving dude” said his friend and left that place. “Okay dude! Bye” Ahmed gave a hand shake for his friend.
     Ahmed was seriously typing in the computer before him. At the time he completed the work his phone rang. He was shocked on the news said on the other side by his friend.
     “What? Steve. But how did he died?” asked Ahmed nervously. “I don’t know that Ahmed, but police said he was brutally killed. And his cremation is tomorrow.
     It is said that their family members are on the way to India. I know this much details only Ahmed” Ahmed’s friend cut his call saying these words.
     Ahmed was still in the state of shock and not able to digest the death news of Steve. Finally when Ahmed came to senses and about to move the clock striked Ten in the night.
     “Oh! Shit. How I forget to watch the time. It’s too late” groaned Ahmed took his things and stood up from his seat. At the instance, suddenly the lights of that place started to blink.
     Ahmed scared of this sudden change. So he tried to move out of the building. But he wasn’t able to do so. A scary smile heard near Ahmed. He looked around but no one was there.
     Fear and anxiety covered him completely. He was terribly sweating. “Who’s that? Please come before me. Hey guys anyone playing with me?” trembled Ahmed shouted.
     The mystery figure gave a sarcastic curve in his lips “you don’t deserve to live” a hoarse voice heard. Ahmed swallowed his saliva and in the verge of crying.
     In a fraction of second, the mystery figure came before him. It raised his heart beat to peak totally and made him utter the word “Megha” automatically.
     “Yo.. you are de.. dead right?” Ahmed asked shivering. “Hahahahaha” it was absolutely a scary burst out. “Yes! It’s me megha! Also I’m dead! And you are going to die now!” screamed the mystery figure.
     Megha’s words nearly put Ahmed’s heart out. “What!! N..o no Megha. No Megha! Please! Please spare me” Ahmed pleaded and cried to her. “What spare you? Haan” screaming these words megha gave a slap on his face.
     Ahmed rolled down on the floor for that single slap. Megha took Ahmed’s collar and dragged him through the steps. Megha reached terrace of that twenty storey building.
     “Please Megha! I beg you! Please spare me!” Ahmed begged her. But she wasn’t ready to hear any pleadings of him. She put him down in the floor and took an iron rod.
     Megha striked Ahmed brutally with the iron rod. “Die! Die!” Megha roared and the sound reached the ground. The watchman of that building scared of the hoarse voice he heard and look around.
     At last he looked up and stood still of what he saw. There a figure with white gown caught someone’s throat by it’s hand. Megha strangle the neck of Ahmed.
     Ahmed struggled hard to breathe. Leaving him behind now Megha took the rod and striked straight on his head. “Aaahhh!” screamed Ahmed finally gave up his life in Megha’s hands.
    Megha slowly enjoyed his painful cry. After satisfied to see his dead body Megha gone out. The watchman down there wasn’t able to judge what’s going on the terrace.
     Totally frightened watchman called upon another watchman of that building and climbed up the stairs to reach the terrace. The two watchman’s blood froze in panic.
     They saw the brutally died body of Ahmed. “No” they both shrieked in fear. Without any delay they called upon police and informed about the murder.
     Roy’s phone screamed and made him awake. Roy watched the clock and confused as it shows the time is one in the midnight. “Who is calling in this time” murmured Roy took his phone and shocked with news of death of an IT officer.
     After hearing this news Roy’s sleep gone away. He dressed up and rushed to the spot immediately. Inspector Raj was already there and Roy went near him.
     “What happened Raj? Who is this man? When did this happened?” Roy asked a series of questions to Raj.
     “Sir! A watchman of this building first watched a girl and this man fighting. He was scared and with another watchman he came up to see what happened. But they saw only this man’s body. But they say some stupid answers” Raj uttered the details he collected till now.
     “Stupid answers? Ok! What about the forensic people? What did they said?” Roy questioned to get evidences if there any. Raj “They got nothing sir. I think the culprit is quiet clever” said his opinion.
     Roy went to the two watchmen and questioned “what did you see?”. The first watchman who watched Megha and Ahmed said with trembling “Sir! I don’t know much. But I’m sure it was not done by human. It is a ghost sir. I saw it. It just flew with white dress”.
     Roy now get what is that stupid answers. “Okay! You must come whenever we call upon you to tell what you see. We won’t give you much torture. So don’t hesitate to come forward to tell your evidence” Roy almost consoled the watchman and moved.
     Roy went to his home and was totally confused with this murder. Because thiay man Ahmed also was brutally murdered. Roy was thinking “Is there any connection between these two murders?”.
     “Steve was doing some business but this man Ahmed was working in IT field. They don’t have any connection between them it seems. But the method of killing was almost same” Roy talked these words within himself.
     He put his head into his hands to control his headache started due to this case. “Okay! Let’s go and enquire Steve’s family and friends first, then go to Ahmed’s family. And find whether they are friends or not” Roy took a decision and waited for the next day to bloom.
