13th May, 2021 that was. I woke up on a train to Darjeeling. This is the 4th time I'm going there, the first three tours are just blurry images on my eyes. Its natural, I was only 3 or 4 years old at that time.
My aunt recently bought a flat in this some....13 year old apartment. It was a 15 floored apartment with a really nice interior as well as exterior, but not so nice manager....
The manager of this apartment is the ugliest, grumpiest, most untidy and dirtiest person I've ever met. I often get into arguments with him. He always says a really stupid thing. He says that floor number 13 is..... nevermind.
My aunt lives on the topmost floor of this apartment, so everytime we go out, we need to take the lift to go back to my aunt's flat.
The next day, means, 14th May we went out to and eat at a restaurant and just hangout. We came back at nearly 11:00pm. That was really late, anyways, we took the lift and were chatting about how good the food was etc. Suddenly the lift stopped with a jerk and it got all dark.
It was so dark that the lift seemed to be completely empty. Or, was it really empty.....?
"MOM?! DAD?! AUNT?!" No one answered
"WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE?" I was screaming at the top of my lungs.
Does this mean... I'm alone?
Where am I? Which floor is this? Am I on the 15th floor already?
The lift door suddenly slid open. Moonlight was coming through one pf the windpws.....it was so sweet to see the corridor being lit up like that...
I was walking out of the lift as if mesmerized by something....or rather.... someone. Who is that? I don't know. She's so beautiful....but, how do know that? Im only seeing her back.
She turned around, facing me...she is coming to me. I don't know what she's wearing, it's all white and torn...just a large piece of white cloth. I still couldn't see her face even though she's coming so near.... slowly,gracefully.
"Who are you?" I asked still feeling mesmerized.
I could hear a soft, sweet laugh coming from her. She made eye contact with me and the lights started to glitch.
No, I was wrong, she's not that beautiful....but I know that face... Isn't that..
"MANAGER?!" I gave one last scream and ran at the top of my speed.
I fell inside the lit up lift and crouched down. The lift buttons said that I was on the 13th floor...And that's when I woke up, all sweaty and panting.
