The Night I Still Think What Happened.

 

The story I still remember till this day it makes me question what was it that I saw that night. Let me start from the starting. It was early days of my career I used to be a tourist driver at the starting and I was very hardworking and punctual at my work my rule was to give best service to my client. We were heading towards Shimla at that time now those who don’t know this, that Shimla is one of the most haunted places in India and therefore, it is advised not to travel to some places at cold night of Shimla. I was travelling in my car in the highway with the clients that night after I dropped my client to their hotel, I went out to search a guest house and a good place to eat but if I knew what was going to come that night I would never go there. I reached a fair restaurant and had my meal after tiring day every food meal is great and then I headed towards the guest house which was very creepy at that point of time but because I was too tired, I did not pay any attention towards the hotel or its staff but the thing that is about to come next will make me shocked and question me for all my life that what I saw there. I reached at the reception of the guest house the person I saw that like he had not gone to sleep for weeks, I asked him that if he is okay or not but he just nodded at me and handed over me the keys of the room and said the room number is 7 and it is first floor. I was very pissed off at him as I asked him very generously but he did not even say a pinch of gratitude towards me. I proceeded towards my room, the floor was made of wood and the area was very cold the wood too was very old and felt like it can break anytime now but still I reached at my room which smelled odd but because I was too tired, I did not pay any attention then I took a shower and then went straight to the bed. I went to sleep as I lay down there and then might be at midnight I woke up with a thirst of drinking water but what I found out that there is no water in my room I don’t want to step down to the kitchen for water because I was too tired and sleepy and then I thirst of water became too much which led to kitchen to quench my thirst and then I wore my flip flops and headed towards the kitchen, while I was heading towards my room I saw someone in my room looking over my stuff I thought it was a thief, I immediately  held him there and he hit me hard at my forehead and went to bathroom I was certain that he is trapped because I know the window in the bathroom is too small for him and now he is trapped I armed myself in the classical way with a metal rod and head towards the bathroom when I opened the door I was stunned as he was not their I thought where was he? I packed my stuff but I don’t carry any valuables with me as I don’t need any then I headed towards the reception where the receptionist was, I found him in the kitchen told him all the incident happened to me, he told me that there are gangs near these places and are always hunting for the people like us. I headed towards the hotel of my clients and picked them up according to the itinerary but I still think what was he that I held at the room and he escaped from there.
