The Door!

It was a dark and stormy night when Arun and his family arrived at their new rental house. They had just moved across the city for Arun’s kids' school and were excited to start their new life in this small, quiet neighborhood.

As they pulled up to the house, Arun couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over him. The place looked run-down and abandoned, with peeling paint and overgrown weeds in the parking area. But he shrugged it off, telling himself that it was just because it was late and the weather was bad.

They quickly unloaded their things and settled into their new home. They all slept well because of the tiredness from the entire day's work.

Next day, Arun went to office and kids went to school. Arun's wife Saira was left alone in the new house. By about 11 am when Saira was busy in cooking , the doorbell rang. She was cleaning vegetables using tap water. When she heard the door bell she closed the water tap, put the vegetables bowl in the left side of the stove. She walked to the door and opened it. But nobody was there. She turned her head left and right , finding no one, she again locked the door and went to the kitchen.

When she opened the tap again and took the vegetables , doorbell rang again. She again walked to the door and again nobody was there. She closed the door and went to kitchen to do her work. Now for the third time door bell rang . She turned towards the door and watched without making any move. She could see the shadow on the floor behind the door and it looked like somebody was there. Doorbell rang again continuously for four five times.

She got terrified and went to the door hesitatingly and she said " Hello! Who is it? " There was no reply. She moved her right hand towards the lock to open the door. Before she put her fingers in the lock, grains of sand started to flow like thin stream of waterfalls from the hole in the lock. She got shocked and suddenly moved back from the door.
Grains of sand, after flowing for a few seconds stopped and it was complete silence. Now Saira hesitatingly managed to get up from the floor and she said :" Hello! Whats happening? Is there anyone outside? Is this a prank or something? " There was no reply from the other side.

She, in fear, went near the door and tried to open the door. But she could nt open the door. She thudded on the door and screamed " Please help me! Someone please open the door! I am struck inside." She thudded the door like a thudding of a giant clock bell. But nobody came to open the door.
She again thudded the door strongly and screamed again. But there was no response from the other side. Her face was soaked with sweat and her legs shivered. She ran to her bedroom and took her phone and called her husband Arun.
She called Arun and heard the voice from other end saying: " tum bach nahin sakte!!"

Saira petrified on hearing this and she dropped her phone. She turned back and saw the door again ... Now blood started to flow from the hole in the lock like waterfalls .

Saira screamed aloud and suddenly wake up only to know that this was just her day dream.
